its a pretty easy exam.but time management is imp. u get the ielts prep book & cassetes from Brit Council. 400 bux i think.go through them once & listen to the cassetes on a walkman.and do practice writing some essays!
imo TOEFL is a bit tough as it dips more into every day grammatical error made by a common man and of course it has a bit of
MATHS in it. IELTS on the other hand isnt all that tough as it only revolves around English and more of a confidence measuring
tool designed by them. Anything above 6.5 in IELTS is good and acceptable by most of the universities around the world.
Having appeared for IELTS once and scored 8 in that, i can say that its one of the easiest exams ever. But you really need to
be alert at whats coming to you in the paper. All you need to do is solve and hear the material provided by either British Council
or IDP Australia which is located in Churchgate, Mumbai. You really dont need to do anything else

I have registered myself with IDP. I'm planning to go to Aus for the July intake.
I wanted to know which part is the toughest and to which part should i concentrate more?
As in there are 4 sections right.. Listening, reading, writing and speaking. From what i heard from couple of guys reading part is bit tough compared to the rest.

If you are planning for Australia, do inquire about another exam called TAFE,
its just like IELTS but is only recognized in Australia. I would recommend
appearing for both if Australia is concerned. Some varsities acknowledge IELTS some TAFE. Just be on a safer side
Though i have not appeared for TAFE, its said to be just another exam where some niche universities in Australia(only) acknowledged if IELTS is not.
You might find these links useful, but i am sure you will get some more pamphlets or brochures regarding the same in IDP.
TAFE NSW - English Language Centres | Study in Australia. Study Abroad with Studies in Australia
TAFE NSW - Northern Sydney Institute

What are you smoking? :S
TOEFL does not have any MATH in it. Its a completely English oriented Test..
Its damn easy too. I managed 115 without any preps. All you need to know is the format of the test.
