Because of this, your ILETS response will be more in-depth and detailed. As you study for both exams, you may want to expand on shorter TOEFL writing answers and turn them into slightly longer IELTS responses. This will help you understand the small but important differences between Writing Task 2 on both exams.SpeakingIELTS Speaking is done interactively—you will talk directly to an interviewer instead of just recording your voice into a computer. This is very different form the TOEFL in some ways, but similar in others. Both the interaction in IELTS Speaking and the TOEFL Integrated Tasks found in Speaking and Writing require English multitasking. In both cases, you need to use different language skills (listening, speaking, reading, and writing) at the same time. As you study for these two assessments, make note of the similarities between Integrated TOEFL tasks and integration of language in IELTS Speaking.Take-awayThere are a lot of advantages to studying for both the IELTS and the TOEFL. The most obvious advantages are practical ones—having qualifying scores in both tests increases your chances of being accepted into English language study programs all around the world. There are also some learning advantages. While the tests are similar, they measure your English ability in some noticeably different ways. This is a chance for you to study your second language more deeply and practice it in more contexts. David is a Test Prep Expert for Magoosh TOEFL and IELTS.

Play the role of that person in a movie. Record Yourself SpeakingWhile you imitate that native speaker, you should record yourself. There are a couple reasons why you should record yourself often:You will be recorded on the actual TOEFL. Speaking into a microphone should be comfortable for you before then, and the best way to become comfortable is by experience.You can listen again and compare yourself to the native speaker.Try to identify what exactly is different between the sounds you make and those the native speaker makes. Ideally, you will have somebody else listen, too, and give some more advice, because it can be very hard to hear what’s different when listening to your own voice. But if you do this often, and listen carefully to the two recordings (the original and your imitation), you will start to identify aspects of your pronunciation that can be improved, and that helps you to focus your practice.
