Differences b/w IELTS and TOEFL

IELTS Vs TOEFL

Major Differences between the IELTS and TOEFL

Reading

TOEFL – You will have 3 – 5 reading selections of twenty minutes each. Reading materials are academic in nature. Questions are multiple choice.

IELTS – 3 reading selections of twenty minutes each. Materials are, as in the case of the TOEFL, related to an academic setting. There are multiple type questions (gap fill, matching, etc.)

Listening

TOEFL – The listening selection very different from the IELTS. In the TOEFL, you will have 40 – 60 minutes worth of listening selections from lectures or campus conversations. Take notes and respond to multiple choice questions.

IELTS – The largest difference between the two exams is in listening. In the IELTS exam there are a wider variety of question types, as well as exercises of differing lengths. You will answer questions as you move through the listening selection of the test.

Writing

TOEFL – Two written tasks are required on the TOEFL and all writing is done on the computer. Task one involves writing a five paragraph essay of 300 to 350 words. Note taking is important as the second task asks you to take notes from a reading selection in a text book and then a lecture on the same topic. You are then asked to respond using notes by writing a 150 – 225 word selection integrating both the reading and listening selection.

IELTS – The IELTS also has two tasks: the first a short essay of 200 – 250 words. The second IELTS writing task asks you to look at an infograhic such as a graph or chart and summarize the information presented.

Speaking

TOEFL – Once again the speaking section differs greatly between the TOEFL and the IELTS exams. On the TOEFL you are asked to record responses on the computer of 45 – 60 seconds to six different questions based on short descriptions / conversations. The speaking section of the test lasts 20 minutes.

IELTS – The IELTS speaking section lasts from 12 to 14 minutes and takes place with an examiner, rather than a computer as on the TOEFL. There is a short warm up exercise consisting mainly of small talk, followed by a response to some sort of visual stimulus and, finally, a more extended discussion on a related topic

Listening @ IELTS Or TOEFL?

LISTENING- IELTS OR TOEFL

IELTS and TOEFL are two English language testing exams. Although they both are worldwide acclaimed, students do get confused whether to take IELTS or TOEFL! Well, for today lets find out the difference between the listening section of IELTS and TOEFL.
IELTS
The listening section lasts for 30 minutes. This section tests your ability to understand the main ideas while listening, understand the opinions and attitudes of speakers. It is tested whether you can figure out the purpose of the talk. There are four sections to it-:
1.A conversation; It will be a conversation between two people, the one you usually have in everyday social connect.
2.A monologue; It could be a speech regarding the general, the usual social facilities provided.
3.A conversation among four people, set in some educational or business context.
4.A monologue on academic subject, could be a university lecture.

TOEFL
In the listening section of TOEFL, you will encounter two types of languages being used-:
1.Informal-: It would include general daily like conversations; may be a conversation of university students or professor.
2.Formal-: This includes lectures on particular topics.
The entire listening section lasts for 40-60 minutes. There are 2-3 conversational passages and 4-6 lectures. The questions appear while you are listening and so you don’t have time to read the questions before hand.

Focus on what you want. Listen well. Don’t panic and remember, once you decide, there should be no stopping.
