TOEFL vs IELTS: Which is easier for Indian Students
Test Structure and Recognition: IELTS and TOEFL both assess reading, listening, speaking and writing, but IELTS offers academic and general training versions with a face-to-face speaking test, while TOEFL is primarily computer-based with speaking tasks recorded online.
Scoring, Format and Difficulty: IELTS scores range from 1 to 9, with results in 3–5 days, while TOEFL scores range from 0 to 120, available in 6–10 days. IELTS features diverse question types and accents, whereas TOEFL uses mostly multiple-choice questions and American accents.
Choosing the Right Exam: Selection should be based on university requirements, preferred test format, test centre availability and personal strengths. Regular practice, familiarity with question types and time management are crucial for success in either exam.
