IELTS
IELTS vs TOEFL: both test English proficiency for academic/immigration purposes. IELTS uses a 0–9 band scale and includes a face-to-face speaking test. TOEFL uses a 0–120 point scale and is entirely computer-based. Most institutions accept both — check which your target requires.
IELTS (International English Language Testing System) has four sections: Listening, Reading, Writing, Speaking. Band scores 0–9.
Diagnostic: need a score for UK/Australia/NZ/Canada immigration or most non-US universities? → IELTS. US-focused? → check if TOEFL is preferred.
