    The document compares the criteria of the TOEFL and IELTS exams. Some key differences are: TOEFL is administered via computer while IELTS is paper-based, TOEFL takes about 4 hours 30 minutes while IELTS takes 2 hours 45 minutes. The scoring also differs, with TOEFL using a 120 point scale across 4 sections and IELTS using band scores from 0-9 for each section. Both exams are valid for 2 years. The order and timing of the sections varies between the exams as does the types of questions and tasks in each section.
