What are the differences between TOEFL, IELTS and BEC?

Toe, TOEFL, IELTS and BEC are all common English tests, and many people who like English will pay attention to and take the test, but in fact, these four tests are different and their gold content is different.

Next, I will make a simple analysis:

TOEIC test, English is TOEIC, that is, international communication English test, is generally aimed at those who need to communicate in English in the working environment to evaluate their English ability. Therefore, according to the occasion of use, it can also be found that it is mainly used by foreign companies, and the evaluation is working English, which is generally a relatively simple exam.

TOEFL, English for TOEFL, is used to identify the English ability of non-English speakers. TOEFL is a necessary test score for studying abroad (USA, Canada). More than 2,400 universities and colleges in the United States and Canada recognize this test score and set the minimum TOEFL admission score for applicants. TOEFL scores are related to the success rate of scholarships. So we can see the difficulty and gold content of TOEFL.

IELTS, the IELTS in English, is one of the famous international English standardized proficiency tests. IELTS scores have been accepted by many educational institutions in Britain, Ireland, Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Africa and other Commonwealth countries, as well as more and more American educational institutions and various professional institutions. In this case, the results of IELTS test are very rich in gold and the difficulty has increased. Basically, it is necessary to go abroad to Britain or Commonwealth countries.

BEC, the Cambridge Business English Qualification Examination, is the only exam I have ever taken. Generally speaking, it is also an examination of business English ability, including listening, speaking and writing, which is not very difficult and has a slightly lower gold content.

So the gold content of the four exams is basically TOEFL = IELTS > Toe > BEC.
