Hi Geeta The differences are- While TOEFL is ONLY computer-based, IELTS is both paper and computer-based. So if you’re more comfortable taking an exam on paper, you can choose IELTS. PTE, on the other hand, is a fully computerized test. The speaking section for these three exams is so different. In IELTS, you have to appear for a personal interview. This isn’t the case in TOEFL and PTE, where you can speak to the computer during your online test itself. TOEFL & PTE are taken in standard American English. So if you’ve grown up watching English movies and binge-watch sitcoms even today, TOEFL or PTE might be for you. The essay you are expected to write in the TOEFL writing section is lengthier. It demands a fast typing speed. On the other hand, if you type slow but have legible handwriting, you can go for TOEFL. But when it comes to PTE, writing an essay is as easy as it can get.In IELTS, you have to give short answers, which is not the case in TOEFL. TOEFL requires you to attempt MCQ-type questions. But PTE has a combination of both. The reading passages in TOEFL are used to inform rather than entertain. This means that if you like reading non-fiction, news, etc., you will find this exam easier to attempt. Thanks read less
