Hey folks! So, I've been weighing my options between the TOEFL and IELTS, especially since speaking isn't my strong suit. I've heard TOEFL has you speaking into a microphone, while IELTS feels more personal with an examiner. For those who've tackled both, which one seemed less intimidating for you? I'm not looking for the 'easier' one based on scores, but the one that feels less stressful when it comes to speaking. Any insights or experiences you'd mind sharing?
Also, if you have any tips for calming nerves during the speaking section, I'd love to hear them!
