TOEIC is the Japanese business standard for English but has become popular in other parts of Asia

TOEFL is the North American standard of English (used for entering American or Canadian Universities but is accepted by UK universities now)

IELTS is the UK and Australian standard of English (used for entering UK or Australian universities)

how these scores compare with each other I am not sure
