Do American schools need IELTS or TOEFL to apply?

TOEFL (Test of English as a foreign language) is an examination organized by the American Educational Testing Service, which aims to examine the English ability of foreign students whose English is not their mother tongue to live and study in English-speaking countries. Most American schools use this as a basic English level judgment for recruiting international students.

IELTS is an IELTS (International English Language Testing System), which is an English proficiency test conducted in Cambridge, England, and it is a judgment of the English proficiency of people whose English is not their mother tongue. There are two kinds of IELTS, one is academic IELTS, that is, if you want to study in Commonwealth countries, you need to take an academic module. The other is the general IELTS. If you immigrate or do something else, you are basically required to take the general IELTS (general training).

Second, the American study abroad exam

For students studying abroad, many people will be confused about taking TOEFL or IELTS. That depends on the country where you apply for the college. If you apply for studying in the United States, then the TOEFL test is more suitable, because the logic of the TOEFL test conforms to the thinking of Americans, and going to the United States will be more suitable. Everyone can take IELTS except going to America. Although many universities can recognize the scores of two languages now, they still have to choose according to the mainstream, because if British universities can accept TOEFL scores, they will have higher requirements for TOEFL. Moreover, some colleges and universities in the United States will not accept IELTS scores. Please lock the exam information to study in Tiandao.
