Which is more practical, TOEFL or IELTS?

To say which is more practical depends on the country and school students want to go to. The following are the similarities and differences between TOEFL and IELTS:

I. Similarities:

Both TOEFL and IELTS are for further study abroad. Both are listening, speaking, reading and writing. IELTS and TOEFL are divided into listening, speaking, reading and writing.

Effective time. Both are valid for two years, and now IELTS scores and TOEFL scores are internationally recognized. These two kinds of exams are real "international exams".

Second, the difference:

The IELTS score is 9, while the new TOEFL score is the sum of four points, with a full score of 120. IELTS scores are all 9 points, and the final score is the average score of these four subjects. If the calculated average score is 6.20, then the IELTS score of this student is 6.0; If the average score of this student is 6.30, then his IELTS score is 6.5, and so on.

Study abroad destination. Although the scores of IELTS and TOEFL are recognized, they still have their own emphasis. 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.

There are different ways of speaking test.

The way of speaking in IELTS is to talk to everyone, that is, to talk directly to the examiner. In this way, for students, the pressure and tension are relatively reduced, and the examiner determines the final score according to the questions answered by the students and the students' eyes and body movements.

TOEFL speaking is a man-machine conversation. In the oral part of the new TOEFL test, candidates need to wear headphones to listen to the 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.

To sum up, from the perspective of applicability, the scores of the new TOEFL are only used for studying abroad, while the IELTS test is divided into Class A and Class G. Class A IELTS scores can be used for studying abroad and Class G IELTS scores can be used for applying for immigration, so the IELTS test is relatively more applicable.
