International English Language Testing System
The IELTS test is organized by authoritative organizations such as the Examination Committee of Cambridge University, and is widely accepted by famous schools all over the world, especially students from Britain, Ireland, New Zealand and other countries.
TOEFL ［Test of English as a Foreign Language］
The TOEFL test is sponsored by the Education Testing Service Center, which is mainly aimed at North America, especially the United States and Canada. If the school you apply for has lower requirements for TOEFL, you may be more likely to be admitted to TOEFL.
Personal situation and target school requirements
TOEFL or IELTS? It depends on the individual situation and the requirements of the target school. If the school has high requirements for IELTS and low requirements for TOEFL, it may be easier to be admitted to TOEFL. On the contrary, if the school has lower requirements for IELTS and higher requirements for TOEFL, then the IELTS test may suffer.
Other test scores
In addition to IELTS and TOEFL, some schools may require other test scores, such as GRE or GMAT. Business usually requires GMAT scores, while science and engineering may require GRE scores. However, it should be noted that not all schools require these grades, and the specific situation needs to be decided according to the requirements of the target school.
Master program in non-English-speaking countries
If you apply for a master's program in non-English-speaking countries such as France, Switzerland and Germany, you may need to provide corresponding language scores, such as French or German, in addition to English scores. So you must carefully check the requirements of the school before applying to ensure that your application materials meet the requirements.
