There are several differences between the two:
1. Different test contents and forms:
Lingsi mainly tests the application ability of English in business situations, including listening, speaking, reading and writing. The examination form is computer examination. IELTS, on the other hand, covers a wider range of written and oral skills, and has application value in many aspects such as academics, workplaces and daily life. The examination form is written test or computer test plus oral test.
2. The difficulties are different:
Compared with IELTS, Lingsi is more difficult, focusing on the high-end application of business English, and requires higher vocabulary and language expression ability.
3. Different scoring methods:
The total score of the leadership exam is 990, and the scores of each part are different. The standardized score is adopted, and the final score is100%; The total score of IELTS is 9, which directly corresponds to its officially certified English level.
4. Different scope of use:
Although Lingsi is relatively high-end, it is not as widely used as IELTS because of its professionalism. It is mainly used for job hunting or further study in business, finance, trade and other fields.
To sum up, although Lingsi and IELTS are both tests to test English language ability, they have different emphases and are set according to the needs of different groups of people. Which exam to choose should be judged according to your actual needs. If you want to use English in business and develop in business, it is more appropriate to choose Lingsi. If you want to improve your comprehensive English application ability and get international certification, then IELTS may be more suitable for you.
