IELTS vs TOEFL: What Are the Differences?

 

She explains that both exams are in English but quite different in their structure. While TOEFL is in an Internet-based format, IELTS is a pen-and-paper-based exam and the Speaking Part is conducted face-to-face.

Depending on your personal preferences you can choose between the two exams, as most universities and business schools accept the scores of both test as evidence of your English language proficiency.
