Is TOEFL or IELTS listening difficult? Why?

Hello, is TOEFL or IELTS listening difficult? Why?

Comparatively speaking, TOEFL listening is a bit difficult for several reasons:

The TOEFL listening time is long, and the IELTS listening test is 30 minutes plus 10 minutes. Why is this? Because the listening time of IELTS listening test is 30 minutes, and you will be given an extra 10 minutes after listening, so you can fill in the listening documents from this test paper on the answer sheet, so the whole listening test is 40 minutes, but the whole listening time is actually only 30 minutes. The TOEFL listening test is not like this. Because TOEFL is a computer test, there is no time to get the answer. You can see that its time is 60 minutes to 90 minutes. In the middle of this half hour, what is the difference? The main thing is that you will take one more exam, and some students may be drawn during the exam. One more exam means one more section. In this case, the standard length of 60 minutes may be extended to 90 minutes, so we can see that the TOEFL listening test is indeed slightly longer than the IELTS listening test.

IELTS is a traditional paper-and-pencil test, so this listening test is also an answer sheet, a small stack of bound papers, plus an IELTS pen and an IELTS eraser. TOEFL listening test is a computer answering process. It will give you some draft paper and a pen. You can take some notes if you want, but pay attention to the order of its answers. The IELTS listening test is to give you a test paper topic first, and then record it for you. The TOEFL listening test will let you listen to the tape first, then look at the questions and options, and finally make a choice.

Generally speaking, it is quite similar, mainly depending on whether students need IELTS scores or TOEFL scores ~
