TOEFL vs IELTS: Which one is less nerve-wracking for speaking?

TOEFLTOEFLIELTSspeakingexams

Hey everyone! I’m trying to decide between TOEFL and IELTS, especially since speaking makes me super nervous. I’ve heard TOEFL’s speaking section is into a microphone, while IELTS is in front of an actual examiner. For those who have tried both, which do you think feels less stressful?

I really want to choose the test that’s easier for me mentally, not just the one that’s labeled easier overall. Any personal experiences or advice would help!
