What is the difference between TOEFL and IELTS for language certificates?
The TOEFL and IELTS language certificates are among the most widely recognized English tests worldwide, but differ in structure, assessment and focus. The TOEFL focuses more on academic English, particularly in the USA, while IELTS is also widely used in the UK, Australia and Canada. In addition, the TOEFL assessment is based on a point system from 0 to 120, while IELTS works with band scores from 0 to 9. Both tests test the four skills of listening, reading, writing and speaking, but with different task formats. TOEFL is usually taken online, while IELTS is available in both paper and digital form. The choice often depends on the study or career goal.
