Difference: IELTS is mainly international, and the knowledge of culture and geography involved is mostly in Britain and Australia. TOEFL, on the other hand, is based on American English, and its listening is completely standard. There are also American idioms and slang, which involve a lot of American history, culture, politics, geography and so on.

The new TOEFL test adopts real scenes, such as simulating the dynamic interactive environment on the university campus. The test questions comprehensively examine four English language abilities: listening, speaking, reading and writing. Candidates can fully demonstrate their English communication skills.
The new TOEFL test is conducted through the internet, and the test takes the form of computer test. The test time and the number of questions in each part of the new TOEFL are fixed. However, the exam did not use the method of computer-generated questions, that is to say, the difficulty of the questions has nothing to do with whether the answers to the previous questions are accurate or not.
The full score of the new TOEFL is 30, * * * 120. The new TOEFL 80 is equivalent to the old TOEFL 550 and the new TOEFL 100 is equivalent to the old TOEFL 600.
The full score of the new TOEFL test (online test) is 120, with 30 points in each of the four parts. ?
A major feature of the new TOEFL test (online test) is its scientific scoring system. Subjective questions are judged on the principle of overall scoring, and the overall quality of oral and writing answers is comprehensively and objectively evaluated, rather than focusing on small mistakes and single weaknesses. That is to give extra points and reward points to the overall impression of the article, rather than deducting points according to the number of language elements errors.
The focus of evaluation is whether candidates use the language they have mastered to effectively convey ideas and control the development process of ideas, rather than the development of words or words. A firm grasp of specific grammar points and the display of vocabulary are not the focus of evaluation. ?
The new overall requirements of the new TOEFL (online test) and the change of scores are candidates' goals. Therefore, in oral and writing training, candidates must take communicative purposes as the starting point and ultimate goal, learn to take care of the whole article, and show their true language ability at the text level (not just in wording, sentences and paragraphs).
