- Check acceptance. Your visa, university, employer or professional regulator may accept different tests, versions and delivery methods.
- Write down the required scores. Record each section minimum as well as any overall score. A strong average may leave one requirement unmet.
- Try official sample tasks. Compare the speaking setup, writing demands, reading load and time pressure using your own responses.
- Check practical details. Compare local test dates, total booking costs, result timelines and permitted resits before choosing.
Different score scales do not tell you which exam is easiest. A useful choice combines eligibility, your current skills and the time you have to prepare.
