R&D institutions are different. IELTS and BEC are both developed by Cambridge University Examination Center. Both TOEFL and TOEIC were developed by educational testing service (ETS). ?

Different pertinence. IELTS (Class A) and TOEFL are highly academic and are important indicators for English-speaking universities to admit students from non-English-speaking countries (IELTS G is an immigration test in some Commonwealth countries, such as New Zealand and Australia). BEC and TOEIC are business English, which is an examination to cultivate and evaluate English application ability at work. ?

Different applicability. Different countries, institutions and organizations have different requirements for English tests. For example, some American universities do not recognize IELTS scores, and some admit (can not apply for scholarships); Britain has never recognized TOEFL and TOEFL scores; Most universities do not recognize that BEC and TOEIC scores can reflect the English level of non-English majors, and so on. So what to test should be targeted according to your own purpose and the requirements of others. ?

The examination fee is different. IELTS is about 1700 RMB, TOEFL is about 1540 RMB; BEC junior is about 374 yuan; BEC intermediate level is about 475 yuan; BEC senior is about 598 yuan; Toe is about 600 RMB. Different countries may have preferences, changes and adjustments at different times. ?

The exam format is different. IELTS listening, writing and reading are all traditional paper-and-pencil tests, and oral English is the examiner's interview. At present, the TOEFL test is based on ibt (Internet-based test) in China.

Gold content of currency

According to the purpose, toeic and BEC are mainly used for job hunting. TOEFL and IELTS are mainly used by schools, but there are also a few units that require TOEFL and IELTS scores. In other countries, you need IELTS scores to settle down. ?

According to the content of the exam, TOEIC only has reading and listening. TOEFL IELTS BEC includes four parts: listening, speaking, reading and writing. ?

According to the classification of gold content, I personally think: TOEFL IELTS >; BEC & gt； Toes?

If you want to apply for studying abroad, I suggest that you can choose TOEFL or IELTS according to the requirements of the school you want to apply for. ?

If you are engaged in foreign trade in a foreign business company after graduation, I suggest that you can take an advanced BEC exam, but intermediate and junior BEC are actually of little use. ?

If the position you want to apply for indicates that you need toeic scores, you can apply for toeic.
