IELTS vs TOEFL, within 2 weeks

I'm a native English speaker. My wife is not, with Mandarin as her native language. She's been admitted to a graduate program, but has to take either IELTS or TOEFL within 2 weeks.
She's ok at speaking but not as great at reading comprehension.

  • How can I best help her prepare?

  • What are good banks of practice tests - ideally computerized and automated?

  • What's a good study plan for next 2 weeks?

  • Is IELTS easier than TOEFL (as some articles online seem to indicate)?

  • How difficult will it be for a casual speaker of English to reach band 6 of IELTS or computerized TOEFL of 80?
