Yes James, you are right. I confused IELTS with another test.

TOEFL is easier than IELTS, as is clear from its name.

"I haven't taken the IELTS test, but I know it is easier because it doesn't include speaking and listening. Therefore you have only to focus in grammar." Well Mary, I've taught classes for both TOEFL and IELTS, and I can definitely tell you that you are 100% wrong! See here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/IELTS#IELTS_test_structure For what it's worth, I don't think there's much difference at all in difficulty. It really depends on the individual.
