TOEFL or ielts both are English language proficiency tests and which one to choose merely depends on you. TOEFL is prevalent only in the USA whereas you ielts is almost accepted in all other countries. If you are planning for masters in the USA, then go for TOEFL.

What is the qualifying mark for TOEFL?
