CAE vs IELTS

I’m a Spanish student who want to apply to a Scottish university. Most of them accept both qualifications but I’m not sure which one choose. I like IELTS because in the speaking part you don’t have a partner, plus I find the Use of English very difficult. The only thing that is keeping me from taking the IELTS is the fact that it expires, whereas the CAE doesn’t.
Which one do you recommend me?
Thank you :smile:

I would take IELTs for UK Vi. Look at the requirements of the Scottish uni.
