Similar to IELTS exam TOEFL also comprises of 4 modules Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking. But the difference is that marks are given from 30 in each module and then it is summed given out of 120. Also, TOEFL almost has multiple choice questions unlike IELTS which has different range of questions such as gap filling, short answer or true and false.

The Listening and Speaking section are same in both the examinations. In Speaking section of IELTS exam test is taken face-to-face while in TOEFL exam no physical person is present to evaluate but your responses are recorded and assessed. The overall test takes 4 hours to complete.

For the writing sections, TOEFL exam has to be typed instead of written responses of IELTS Exams. Both tests have 2 tasks to complete but TOEFL essay is a bit longer as in task 2 of IELTS students have to write only 250 words whereas in TOEFL they have to write minimum 300 words.
