The vocabulary requirement of TOEFL is higher than that of IELTS, mainly because of the difference in the vocabulary of professional English, which is about 2000 words. TOEFL is worse than IELTS. This is mainly because there are many academic words in TOEFL listening materials. In addition, the TOEFL test form increases the difficulty of the test. TOEFL puts listening first, and then shows the questions. Candidates need to have the ability to grasp the key points and dictate.

Examination form:

IELTS is still written, and TOEFL has been tested online, and the whole test is basically at least 4 hours uninterrupted.
