IE 13 Whats the Difference Between the IELTS and the TOEFL

IELTS vs TOEFL

  • Overall, IELTS is more organized logically and no technology used, it will feel more natural
  • IELTS is more straightforward and clear than TOEFL

IELTS

  • Has a range of accents including canadian, british, american, austrailian ...
    • But, IELTS is not gonna put an accent on there that is completely unintelligible or that you can't understand (won't put really strong scottish accents)
  • Listening 30 mins
  • Reading 60 mins (3 passages 20 mins each)
  • topics are gonna be drawn from similar sources, but more general topics
  • Questions types are different - you gonna just use pencil
  • Talking to a person
  • Speaking is just speaking and not including listening or reading
  • Writing is just writing essay and answer the questions, a lot more straightforward

TOEFL

  • Mostly North american accents
  • Listening 40-60 mins
  • Reading 60-100 mins (don't know the number of passages you gonna get)
  • topics are gonna be drawn from similar sources, but more specialized topics are gonna be there(it can be challenging if you don't have specific background knowledge)
  • Questions types - drag and drop with technological aspects
  • Talking to a computer, maybe feels unnatural because no one is talking back
  • Speaking includes reading and listening test(since you have to summarize the passage you read or talk about your opinions after you listened to conversations)
  • Writing has integrated tasks (reading and listening as well)
