Many students want to complete their higher education out of their country. They want to study abroad for higher education. One way to achieve your dream of studying abroad is to get high scores on GRE, this is the most usual one.

Other things based on which you can take admission in the universities abroad are how many years of research experience do you have, what are the achievement of yours in your field, your scores in previous courses and another important factor is the language test.

Many of you are thinking why is it done. It is to test your skill of speaking English if you do not belong to the native English speaking country. Most of the universities abroad demand a language test take admission and sometimes they only depend upon the score of a candidate in the language test, they do not even consider the GRE scores.

So here we are going to discuss TOEFL vs IELTS. Candidates who want to know what are these two tests about and which one is a better option are advised to read this article. This article can answer their queries in a better manner.

Why Is The Language Test Taken?

Candidates who dream of completing their higher education from abroad must know the importance of language tests. A language test is taken to check the basic knowledge of the candidate in the language. This checks the language speaking, writing, listening, and understanding skills of the candidate. Don’t worry this is just about checking the basic language skills. If the concept of the candidate about the language is strong he/she can easily score well in the language test.

If we talk about IELTS then two modes are Academic and General and for TOEFL a candidate can go for a subject-specific test or a general test. Generally, universities abroad accept the scores of general test so it is a better option to go for. The main benefit of taking the general test is it does not limit you to a particular subject. The general test tests your basic knowledge. Read below to have idea about IELTS vs TOEFL difficulty.
