If you ask, “Is TOEFL easier than IELTS?” the answer depends on your strengths. TOEFL is done fully on the computer and is popular in American schools. IELTS can be paper-based or computer-based and is accepted in many countries. Some students find TOEFL easier because there is no face-to-face speaking, while others prefer IELTS because of its simple question types. Try practice tests to see which one feels easier for you.
