Which do you choose, TOEFL or IELTS?

1. As far as recognition is concerned,

The recognition of IELTS is higher than TOEFL, and almost all Commonwealth countries recognize IELTS scores. The admission of American colleges and universities is more recognition of TOEFL, but according to incomplete statistics, there are more than 4,000 colleges and universities in the United States that recognize IELTS scores.

2. From the perspective of applying for an immigrant visa

When applying for an immigrant visa, the UK only recognizes IELTS scores. For other mainstream countries studying abroad, such as Australia, New Zealand, Canada and the United States, the situation is different. Canada and Australia also give priority to IELTS scores.

For those who don't go abroad.

For those students who have no plans to go abroad and now better develop and improve their English ability in the domestic workplace, the domestic CET-4 and CET-6 scores are enough to meet the needs of daily work and life. But it is undeniable that if they want to be more comfortable in foreign companies, taking IELTS and TOEFL can really adapt themselves to such an English environment. For these people, it depends on what level you have reached. Generally speaking, it is difficult for IELTS to score above 7. On the contrary, scores below 6.5 are basically the target scores of many people. It takes some effort to reach TOEFL 100. Personally, I suggest taking a test to see if I am more suitable for IELTS or TOEFL, so as to choose.

What is the difference between IELTS and TOEFL?

1, IELTS and TOEFL are applicable to different countries.

This is also the most essential difference between IELTS and TOEFL, which is influenced by the host countries of IELTS and TOEFL.

IELTS is an international English proficiency test jointly organized by the British Council, the Local Examinations Board of Cambridge University (CUCLES) and IDP Education of Australia, which is applicable to Commonwealth countries. Many countries in Europe are listed. For example, Britain, Netherlands, Switzerland, Canada, Australia and New Zealand are all Commonwealth countries, so IELTS scores are generally recognized in these countries.

The TOEFL test was written in September 2005 by ETS (Educational Testing Service), an old American educational service organization with a history of more than 65,438+000 years. It is suitable for North American countries, including Japan, and is more recognized for TOEFL scores. These regional differences do not affect the actual functions and effects of these two tests. For example, to apply for a university in Hong Kong is to recognize the IELTS test scores and TOEFL test scores.

So far, TOEFL has been recognized by more than 7300 universities and other institutions in 130 countries. There are more than 2,300 colleges and universities in the United States and Canada. It is clearly stipulated that all foreign students applying for admission must provide one or two standardized tests in T0EFL, GRE, GMAT or TSE, and those who meet the requirements of the school can successfully enter the university and apply for scholarships. At present, some top universities in the world, almost all top universities in Britain and Australia are increasingly recognizing TOEFL scores.

2. IELTS and TOEFL have different exam forms.

The main difference between IELTS and TOEFL is the oral test.

The IELTS speaking test adopts the form of "everyone talks", so candidates can have real interaction with the examiner, which is more humanized; The TOEFL oral test adopts the form of "man-machine dialogue", simulating the lecture mode in the classroom to examine students, and there is no real examiner.

The scores of IELTS and TOEFL are different.

Both IELTS and TOEFL test English listening, speaking, reading and writing, but the scores are different.

The IELTS score is 9, and both listening, speaking, reading and writing are 9. The final score is the average score of the four evaluations divided by four. The conversion of IELTS total score is unusual, and the score of IELTS score is 0.25 per file. The specific conversion is: total score.

The TOEFL score is 120, and listening, speaking, reading and writing each account for 30 points, which is the total score of each exam.

So, what's the score of IELTS TOEFL? Many students may have such questions. For students who take the IELTS test, 7 points is a difficult score to break through; For TOEFL students, some top universities require TOEFL scores above 100.

In addition to these obvious differences, there are also some minor differences in the contents of the IELTS TOEFL test.
