Whether it’s IELTS or TOEFL, we help you achieve the score that speaks for itself.

Why Do You Need These Tests?

If you are a non-native English speaker, universities in the UK, USA, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand require proof that you can read, write, speak, and listen in English at an academic level.

Option A: IELTS (International English Language Testing System)

Preferred by UK, Australia, Canada, and New Zealand.

  • Format: Pen-and-paper or Computer-delivered.

  • Scoring: Band Scale from 1 (Non-user) to 9 (Expert). Most top universities require 6.5 to 7.5.

The 4 Modules:

  1. Listening: 30 mins (4 recordings).

  2. Reading: 60 mins (3 long texts).

  3. Writing: 60 mins (Task 1: Describe a chart/graph; Task 2: Essay).

  4. Speaking: 11-14 mins (Face-to-face interview with an examiner).

Option B: TOEFL (Test of English as a Foreign Language)

Preferred by USA and widely accepted in Canada/Europe.

  • Format: Internet-Based Test (iBT).

  • Scoring: 0 to 120. Top universities usually look for 100+.

  • The Difference: TOEFL is often considered more “academic” in its content and uses integrated tasks (e.g., read a passage, listen to a lecture, then speak about it).


Which One Should You Take?

  • Choose IELTS if: You are comfortable with a face-to-face speaking interview and a variety of English accents (British, Aussie).

  • Choose TOEFL if: You prefer speaking into a microphone and are very comfortable with multiple-choice formats.
