TOEFL vs IELTS – which one is less nerve-wracking?

TOEFLTOEFLIELTStest prepspeaking anxiety

Hey everyone! I’m in a dilemma about which test to take: TOEFL or IELTS. I get super nervous about speaking in front of people, and I’ve heard that TOEFL has you speaking into a microphone, while IELTS is face-to-face with an examiner.

I’d love to hear from anyone who’s taken both tests! Which one felt less stressful for you, especially in the speaking section? I really want to make the best choice based on how comfortable I’ll be.

Thanks in advance for any tips or personal experiences you can share!
