Dear All,

Now I am a student at Norton University. I want to get schoolarship to study abroad in Master degree. A problem for me is I don no should I study TOFEL or
IELTS. Could u recommend me about this?

For now, in some places, they make it equal for both IELTS and TOEFL, meaning you can have either one. But for some places, it sticks to one standard only. I think, you should know where you WANT to go. If you are looking forward for studying in US or UK, go for TOEFL. If you are going for Australia and NZ, go for IELTS. If none is native English country, then... I dont know what to say.

Hello Yivuoch,

I agree with Denith. You can take either IELTS or TOEFL but you have to determine the direction you want to go to.

One of the students at my department got a 2-year scholarship to a South Korean university. They demanded her good mark of her English. She got 7.5 in IELTS.

 Thanks for your sharing,
I have goal to study at Australia, so i need to join IELTS but I saw that it being use for a few country while the TOEFL is pupular than it. So what do u think please commend? Then few days ago I saw world bank offer the scholarship to Australia then they need TOEFL or IELTS both of them are available.Does TOEFL is widely?

You can't really say TOEFL is BETTER. They are different standard, preferred my different regions. The point is its you who decide which standard suits you and where you are heading. If you are looking for a English standard for everyday use and daily conversation, you should look for TOEFL. But if you are looking to improve all four skills, go for IELTS. Hmm...

Dear All especailly Denith,

First of all I would like to say thanks you for your idea. Now I don understand u said that if I want to improve 4 skills I need go to IELTS so what are the four skills?
Then we can't say that TOEFL is prefer than IELTS.
Nothing!
