General perception is that TOEFL is easier but, according to my humble submission, the tests test the candidate's proficiency in the English, so any body having difficulty with the PC, should opt for IELTS and vice versa.

First of all, both of them have four basic sections, each of which tests a basic skill (reading, listening, speaking, writing). But while the TOEFL only tests academic subjects, the IELTS academic option will have academic reading and writing sections combined with general listening and speaking sections. A better way to find the answer to this question is to ask yourself a few questions. Answer the following questions with a simple “yes” or “no.” I am comfortable with computers. YES/NO I am comfortable speaking extemporaneously into a microphone. YES/NO I can type quickly. YES/NO I prefer standard American English. YES/NO I am good at answering multiple-choice questions. YES/NO It is easy for me to take notes from a recording. YES/NO The authentic English sources I read/listen to/watch are usually intended to inform rather than entertain. YES/NO If you answered YES to most of these questions, the TOEFL is probably the best fit for your skill set. In this case, you should definitely take a look at TOEFL lessons to help you prepare. Otherwise..Go for IELTS IELTS read less
