Is there a difference between IELTS and TOEFL?

1. IELTS and TOEFL are different.

TOEFL: Compared with books, the examination content includes history, geography, humanities and social sciences, focusing on the standardization and skill of English language;

IELTS: The content of the exam is all about the application of life, including schools, clubs, gyms, libraries, banks, hospitals and so on. Pay more attention to the viability of candidates in English-speaking countries.

Second, IELTS and TOEFL are different.

The most obvious difference is that the IELTS speaking test is a one-on-one dialogue between examiners and candidates, not face to face. The oral part of the new TOEFL test is a computer test. Candidates are faced with machines and computers in the exam. Candidates need to put on headphones to listen to the questions, then think for a limited time, and finally answer into the microphone within the specified time.

Third, IELTS and TOEFL have different scoring methods.

Both IELTS and TOEFL have four test items, but candidates who know IELTS and TOEFL know that the full score of IELTS is 9, the full score of four items is 9, and the final IELTS score of candidates is the average score of four items divided by four. The TOEFL score is 120, listening, speaking, reading and writing each account for 30 points, and the final TOEFL score of the candidates is the sum of the four individual scores.
