1, cultural differences of test content:

IELTS is the first English test in the world to test English ability from four aspects: listening, speaking, reading and writing, which is divided into academic and training categories. The IELTS test takes internationalization as its starting point, and the knowledge of culture and geography involved is mostly in Britain and Australia. If you want to study in North America, it is recommended to take the TOEFL, because North America pays more attention to TOEFL scores, and most schools have higher requirements for IELTS scores than TOEFL.

TOEFL is based on American English, and its listening is completely standard. There are also American idioms and slang, which involve a lot of American history, culture, politics, geography and so on. If you want to study in countries outside North America (Britain, Australia, New Zealand, Hong Kong, Singapore, etc.), it is recommended to take IELTS. Now you can't use TOEFL scores when you apply for a British school.

The contents of the two exams involve the culture, history, geography and customs of western countries.

2, check the difference between the form, check the content:

IELTS: Both written test and computer test are humanized. Listening, reading and writing candidates can choose a written/computer test, and the oral test is an interview "dialogue".

TOEFL: Computer test, full of high-tech charm. For the TOEFL test, the first test form is man-machine dialogue; Secondly, candidates are required to answer each question within the specified time (in the new TOEFL test, short questions need to be answered within 45 seconds and long questions need to be answered within 1 minute).

Therefore, in the process of answering questions, candidates have no time to rest or buffer. As long as you start counting, candidates must finish the answer within the specified time. Therefore, from the perspective of oral English, the new TOEFL test is more strict with time.
