<p>I'm wondering if i take the IELTS instead of TOEFL, will most colleges/universities accept it? My reason of considering TOEFL is that i actually missed the dateline and the next test date available is Jan. CMT is not available in my area. Also, sending TOEFL scores costs 3 times the price of that of IELTS.
Has anyone here taken the IELTS instead of TOEFL?</p>
<p>I have only taken TOEFL, but according to my dad's experience, IELTS is much harder. (But I have no other source to confirm this, so it may not be accurate)</p>
<p>IELST is tougher, and it has a speaking component. TOEFL is more widely accepted.</p>
