IELTS or PTE — which is easier for Sri Lankans? My experience after taking both

I took both IELTS Academic and PTE Academic. IELTS: writing and speaking feel more natural, marking can be subjective, 13-day results. PTE: computer-based, formulaic — learn patterns and scores improve, results in 2-5 days. Verdict: PTE better for those struggling with timed writing. IELTS better for confident speakers. Both accepted by Australia, Canada, UK.
