If you want to enter a foreign company in the future, will it help to take TOEFL or IELTS? How difficult is TOEFL compared with IELTS?

Hello, taking TOEFL or IELTS will help you to enter a foreign company, at least you still have some understanding of English document format.

There are still differences between TOEFL and IELTS:

(1) Calculate the total score of VS respectively.

The IELTS test is divided into four independent parts: listening 9, reading 9, writing 9 and speaking 9. The four parts were scored separately, and the average score was 9. The total score of TOEFL is the sum of four subjects (full score 120).

(2) IELTS is suitable for people VS TOEFL is suitable for people.

IELTS is suitable for people: students who want to study in the Commonwealth or immigrants from Canada, Australia and New Zealand. The IELTS test is not very demanding on vocabulary, but it is very life-oriented. TOEFL is suitable for people: students who want to study in the United States, Canada and other countries.

(3) written test and online test

IELTS is still a traditional written test mode. The new TOEFL is conducted in the form of online test, and the whole operation of the new TOEFL test must be completed by computer.

(4) Everyone's dialogue and man-machine dialogue

IELTS speaking test is a one-on-one dialogue between examiners and candidates. In the oral part of the new TOEFL test, candidates will put on headphones to listen to questions, then think for a limited time, and finally answer into the microphone within the specified time. In the whole process, candidates are faced with machines, screen prompts and countdown instructions.

(5) British culture and American culture

The IELTS test is mainly international, and the cultural and geographical knowledge involved is mostly in Britain and Australia. TOEFL, on the other hand, is based on American English, and its listening is completely standard. There are also American idioms and slang, which involve a lot of American history, culture, politics, geography and so on.

(6) Personal skills and comprehensive skills

Although they are all divided into listening, speaking, reading and writing, the four IELTS tests should be relatively independent. One of the difficulties in the new TOEFL test is the test of comprehensive skills. A typical example is that after writing the first exam question, candidates read a short passage for three minutes, then listen to a listening material for two minutes, then speak for one minute or write a composition of 150-225 words for 20 minutes.

(7) Comparison between IELTS and TOEFL

The scores of the new TOEFL can only be used for studying abroad, while the IELTS test is divided into Class A and Class G. The IELTS scores of Class A can be used for studying abroad and Class G can be used for applying for immigration, so the IELTS test is relatively more applicable.

So I personally think IELTS is more practical than TOEFL.
