Hello Guys Please I want to write IELTS,
I need help on cost of the exam and can i write it at home or do i go to the accreditated centre.

I took mine this month, and I paid N83,000.00.

I doubt if Home edition is available for IELTS, I think you can only take the tests in designated test centres in Nigeria.

The result is finally out early this morning.

But I have this strong feeling they did a rush job and did mark the exam properly. This i because my writing score is far below what i believe i should get. I strongly have this feeling.

I dont know if i am alone in this

LEARN COMPLETE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN IELTS & TOEFL.

International student who are from a non-native English speaking country seeking admission in universities abroad, it is mandatory to provide scores of an English language proficiency test. IELTS and TOEFL are the two most common and widely accepted tests. While the purpose of both these exams is the same, they differ on several accounts. So, if you are confused between which one to take, read our guide to understand the difference between IELTS and TOEFL and choose the right one for you.
An Overview of the IELTS & TOEFL Exams
Before we delve into the head on collision between the two exams, i.e., TOEFL vs IELTS let us first take a quick overview of the two.

What is IELTS?
The International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is a test which measures an applicant’s English language proficiency. The exam evaluates an individual’s English language skills across four aspects: Reading, Listening, Writing, and Speaking.
The exam was established in 1989 and is jointly administered by the British Council, IDP Education, and Cambridge Assessment English. The exam is conducted in two modes: Paper-based and Computer-delivered.

What is TOEFL?
The Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) is a standardized test accepted worldwide and most foreign universities where the language of instruction is English. The exam is structured and designed in a way to effectively assess a student’s command over English language.
The exam is conducted by Education Testing Service (ETS), a US-based private non-profit organisation. The exam has two modes: Internet-Based Test (iBT) and Paper-Delivered Test

What is the difference between IELTS and TOEFL: 9 Ways in Which the Exams Differ
Now let us understand the main difference between IELTS and TOEFL exams:

1.Scope
If we look over to the difference between IELTS and TOEFL, both the tests are meant to assess an individual’s English language ability, there is a change in the scope of the two exams.
IELTS has a wider scope when compared to TOEFL. It is used as an English proficiency test for individuals wishing to study abroad, occupational purposes and immigration to English speaking countries.
TOEFL is used for academic purposes alone. It is taken by students who wish to enroll in English-speaking universities.

2. Types
The IELTS exam has two main variations - Academic and General Training. While the IELTS Academic test is to be taken by students planning for higher studies, such as Undergraduate, Masters, Doctoral levels; IELTS General Training exam is for individuals planning to take up a vocational training program or to immigrate professionally.
On the other hand, as discussed already, TOEFL is only used for academic purposes, therefore it has no major variations.

3. Locations Available
The exams are widely available but differ in terms of availability.
The IELTS exam can be taken by students in over 140 countries at around 1,600 locations.
TOEFL is very convenient to take. Students can take the exam almost anywhere in the world. Testing centers are available in more than 165 countries at over 4,500 locations.

4. Popularity
Both the exams are quite popular when it comes to the number of students taking the exam each year.

In 2018, IELTS was estimated to be taken by over 3.5 million candidates. The number is higher here because IELTS is not taken by students alone.

TOEFL is estimated to be taken by over 2.3 million aspirants every year.

5. Interaction With Examiner
Another difference lies in IELTS TOEFL the way the exam is conducted.
For IELTS exams, students are required to directly communicate with the examiner for the IELTS speaking section test.
TOEFL is a completely computer-based exam. Therefore, students do not interact personally with the examiners. For the TOEFL speaking section, students are required to record and send over their speech for checking.

6. Scoring
One of the main differences between IELTS and TOEFL is the way they are scored.
IELTS is graded on a band system ranging from 1 (the lowest) to 9 (the highest). IELTS exam scoring, overall and section-wise, is done on a scale of 0-9.
Whereas, TOEFL is scored out of 120 points. Each section is graded on a scale of 0-30.

7. Exam Duration
The IELTS exam takes 2 hours and 45 minutes to complete.
The exam duration for Internet Based TOEFL exam is 3 hours long and the paper delivered exam is 2 and a half hours long.

8. Frequency
The TOEFL iBT exam is scheduled for over 60 times a year at the authorized test centers around the world. The new TOEFL iBT home edition exam can be taken 4 days a week.
The IELTS exam can be taken up to once a week. It is scheduled for test dates 48 days per year.

9. Result Declaration
The TOEFL score is made available to the students anywhere between 6-10 days from the test date.
The IELTS test results are released within a week (online) or 13 days (offline) after taking the exam.
