Which test fits your goal?
For Indonesian students, the choice often depends on destination. US universities usually prefer TOEFL iBT; UK, Australia and Europe lean IELTS. Check your target campus — many accept both.
**Rule of thumb:** If you type fast and prefer American academic English, try TOEFL. If you are comfortable with face-to-face Speaking and British accents, try IELTS.
