In TOEFL test, whether listening, reading, speaking or writing, the mode of computer test is adopted. Naturally, many students will be curious, as another giant of the study abroad exam, is the IELTS listening and reading computer test? Today, the old Roast Duck Editor will talk about this problem with you.

A: Compared with TOEFL, which only has computer test mode, IELTS offers computer test and paper and pencil test modes for everyone to choose from（ Which is better, the IELTS computer test or the written test? Must know before examination ）。 Although their specific questions for a certain session are not the same, they all use the same question bank, so the overall difficulty is not different.

Secondly, the registration fees for the two examinations are identical. There is no case that computer-based examinations are cheap because of the low cost of manpower and paper printing.
