This post will help you understand what these tests are and show you how our online courses help you get ready for them. Let's make these big tests feel much easier!

What Are These Big English Tests?

TOEFL, IELTS, and TOEIC are all important English tests. They help schools and companies know how well you can use English in real life. They are like a special way to show what you know.

Here's a simple look at each one:

What is TOEFL?

  • TOEFL is often for students who want to study at a university in English-speaking countries (like the USA).

  • It checks how well you can use English for schoolwork. It tests your Reading, Listening, Speaking, and Writing.

What is IELTS?

  • IELTS is also for studying at university (like in the UK or Australia). Many jobs also ask for IELTS.

  • It also tests your Reading, Listening, Speaking, and Writing. The Speaking part is often a real talk with a person.

What is TOEIC?

  • TOEIC is mostly for people who want to work in an international company. It checks your English for the workplace.

  • It mainly tests your Listening and Reading skills for business situations.

  • But there are also separate TOEIC tests for Speaking and Writing if you need to show those skills for your job!
