Who else (like me) is planning to apply for a student visa without taking any English lanuage test? My school(Uni of Birmingham) gives Nigerians admission using WAEC grades...but d ukba does not classify Nija as English speaking *rolling my eyes*. So am sort of confused cos with my CAS letter and funds, I'll still have 40points... Is der some1 else in this same predicament?have you applied already? Am not applying till mid July so will appreciate any info about this.tnx in advance. |

miz Gene: Miz, this TOEFL Wahala, is not funny at all. But u should double check to be sure, that u can scale through without TOEFL at British Embassy, if not, I'll just advice u make plans for TOEFL just in case it's needed, so that u won't to start running around at d last minute. I know some UK school don't request for English Test, But I don't know about those embassy Guys. |

I really want to advise you guys to take either IELTS or TOEFL. I took ielts last thursday @ IB and so many other peeps were there. The UKBA is getting stiffer with its entry laws, especially with all these terror attacks, etc. U guys shld try to take d tests. Ielts is N35,000. |

One will need to write either IELT OR TOEFL, in order to avoid disappointment at the embassy, as these UKBA are getting more strict by d day. I saw on an article, that even if one's school doesn't Request for TOEFL/IELT and they AV actually grant someone unconditional admission, That they Ukba will still request for proficiency of English test. So friends, make arrangement for that, to avoid problem. Best of Luck. |

Between IELT & TOEFL, which of them do u think in u're opinion is easier. With that I mean, the possibility of scoring 6.5 across board and above for IELT & and 95 and above in TOEFL. |

petreli12:Thanks Man. I wrote TOEFL, I scored 92, I made more than the required scored needed for the reading, listening and talking section, unfotunately, I missed the writing requirement by 2 point. I had also exceeded the total minumun requirement. The short fall in writing section has made a mess of the whole result and as such I need to re-write an English test. Am a bit confused at the moment if I should enrol for d same TOEFL test again, or switch to IELT test. Please advice as I need to get this done in two weeks. Thanks. |

Donsly1: Hey Boss, you were so close...I have gotten my ielts result, I scored 8.0/9.0 overall. I will advise you to consider IELTS, firstly, the speaking test is done on a diff day, while reading, listening and writing on the same day. Personally, I prefer Ielts to Toefl anyday |

petreli12:Congrats my guy. nice score. u almost gave them an assignment. I'll be giving IELT a second though cos I don't understand these TOEFL people. They seems to be bias in the acceptance of TOEFL and IELT in UK and US respectively. TOEFL score of 75 is accepted in some pretigious US schools but not in UK. IELT of 5.5 is accepted in some pretigious UK schools but not in US. These two English test providers seems to be competing. How Many days between the speaking and the rest part of IELT test. As it is now, time is of essence. |

U're school is not bent on providing an english language proficiency test like some other uk schools are.If they were, or they were not specific by telling the ukba, that u're good to go. It would have posed a problem for u at the embassy. Congrats once again. |
