There is no more practical statement between TOEFL and IELTS. Both TOEFL and IELTS are international English language tests, which prove the language ability of studying abroad, emigrating or working. Which exam to choose depends on the needs of the candidates.

IELTS is an English proficiency test for those who intend to study or work in countries and regions where English is the language of communication. It is divided into academic test (Class A) and training test (Class G). IELTS is mostly suitable for applying for universities, graduate students or work immigrants in Commonwealth countries.

TOEFL is an academic English language test developed by Education Testing Service Center, which is aimed at foreign students from non-English-speaking countries. The test reflects the participants' real academic language ability in the academic language task environment by examining the four skills of listening, speaking, reading and writing, and can be used for undergraduate and graduate college applications.

TOEFL is mostly applicable to North American countries. But now, whether it is the Commonwealth or North America, although many countries and schools recognize their achievements, it mainly depends on the requirements of the region or the application school.
