• Answer:

  TOEFL is mainly present and tests American English material and IELTS focuses on British English. First of all it depends on your own preference. In context they are more or less the same. One other difference is that in TOEFL you record your answer for speaking section where in IELTS you will have a live interview with a native interviewer. Again it depends on your own personality, which one to choose. For Both tests you need preparation since you have to be ready and aware of the kind of question you will be facing int he test, also the required skills and method of answering each question is important. So even if you have a very good basic knowldege of English you still need the preparation.
