 Sentence completion

IELTS vs TOEFL – Listening
A common myth is that IELTS is British English and TOEFL is US English but the fact is
that both tests have a range of English accents: North American, British, Australian and New
Zealand accents.

There are four parts to the IELTS Listening test, with ten questions each. Parts 1 and 2 are
in a general English context. Parts 3 and 4 are in an academic context. Parts 1 and 3 involve
more than one speaker whereas Parts 2 and 4 are monologues (only one person speaks).

There are 2 types of listening items in the TOEFL iBT test: lectures and conversations, both
of which use the language you would be expected to hear and use at university. The test is
made up of:

3 to 4 lectures with six questions each

 2 to 3 conversations with two speakers with five questions per conversation.
IELTS vs TOEFL – Speaking
The main difference between the two tests is that the IELTS Speaking test is done with an
examiner either face-to-face or on a video call. The test is recorded for training and
verification purposes. Your test is marked by the examiner and verified by other examiners if
necessary.

In the TOEFL iBT test, you listen to questions, and you then speak your answers into a
microphone. Your answers are marked by a combination of AI (computer-rated) and human
reviewers. 

The IELTS test may or may not be taken on the same day as the other parts of the test
whereas TOEFL iBT is taken on the same day as the other parts.

IELTS Speaking
has three parts: Part one – you give personal information and discuss everyday subjects. In
part two you are given a task in which you have one minute to prepare your answer. You then
have two minutes to give your talk. The final part is a discussion with the examiner on a topic
related to the one in part two.
Like the TOEFL Writing test, the Speaking test is integrated. Question one requires you to
answer questions based on your own ideas, opinions, and experiences. Question two requires
you to listen and speak, or listen, read and speak. You have preparation time before you have
to respond to each question.
IELTS vs TOEFL Scores
For IELTS you are given a band score of between 0-9 for each of the skills and then you are given an overall
band score. You can find more information on these bands and their descriptors on the IELTS website. 
Different courses at different levels at universities around the world have specific English language entry
requirements. Below is a table to show what IELTS and TOEFL iBT scores are needed at different course
levels.
