Could you explain the differences between IELTS, PTE, and TOEFL exams in UK/Australia?
The main differences between IELTS, TOEFL, and PTE are in format, scoring, and where they're accepted.
- IELTS: Paper-based or computer-based. Speaking is a face-to-face interview. Widely accepted in the UK, Australia, New Zealand, Canada, and Europe. Scored on a 0 - 9 band scale. Results in 5 - 7 days (computer-based).
- TOEFL: Mostly computer-based. Speaking is recorded and rated by AI and humans. Commonly accepted in the USA and Canada. Scored out of 120. Results in 6 - 10 days.
- PTE: Fully computer-based, including speaking (recorded and AI-scored). Accepted in Australia, the USA, and Canada. Scored out of 90. Results in about 48 hours.
Choose based on your preferred format, speed of results, and the test accepted by your target universities. Fees and policies are subject to change. For personalized guidance, connect with your LeapScholar counsellor.
