The difference between IELTS and TOEFL
At present, most schools in the United States recognize IELTS scores, depending on the requirements of the applying schools. IELTS and TOEFL have one thing in common, that is, they are both international English language tests, which are necessary for students from non-English-speaking countries to apply for studying in English-speaking countries.

International English language test

IELTS is an international English language test jointly launched by Cambridge University Examinations Committee, Australian Agency for International Education and Development and British Council. The organizer of TOEFL is the old American educational service organization "ETS".

Master the application of American schools.

It can be seen that in the traditional sense, IELTS is more suitable to apply for schools in Commonwealth countries, while TOEFL is to apply for controlling American schools.

Apply for school requirements

At present, most schools in the United States recognize IELTS scores, but after all, as an outsider, IELTS still has some restrictions when applying for American universities, and it cannot be as flexible and free as TOEFL.
