Is TOEFL better than IELTS?

One of the best topics for debate in Nepal amongst students planning to study abroad is which one is better -TOEFL or IELTS. This is very subjective and we don’t think there is a perfect answer to this.

We believe if you are more comfortable with people, IELTS could be a better option but if you are more comfortable with the computer then TOEFL could be a better option.

If you prefer to complete your test in one day then TOEFL is a better option as for IELTS you will have one date for Speaking and another for the rest of the sections of the test. One thing we can say for sure is if you are planning to go to a good school, you will need to score good in IELTS or TOEFL.
