Hello
Debaditya123,
I hope you are doing well. Deciding between TOEFL and IELTS for US MBA admissions can be tricky, as both are widely accepted and each has its own advantages and disadvantages.
Acceptance: Generally, most US MBA schools accept both TOEFL and IELTS scores. So, neither has a clear advantage in terms of acceptance.
Ease and Speed of Preparation: Difficulty is subjective and depends on your individual strengths and weaknesses. Some find TOEFL's multiple-choice format easier, while others prefer IELTS's more conversational speaking and writing sections.
Cost: Both exams have similar costs (around $200-$250).
Validity: Both scores are valid for 2 years, giving you flexibility within that timeframe.
Multiple Applications: If you plan to apply to programs outside the US, IELTS might have wider usage in other regions.Remember, both TOEFL and IELTS are valid pathways to US MBA admissions. Focus on understanding your strengths and choosing the test that allows you to showcase your language proficiency effectively.
