Indeed He is!!!

Big congratulations ayandee!

Virtual pizza for the house on me.... very well done! Where is that next draw??

merci

My tef result. God is faithful. Thanks to you all (mamaroon, bellerin and everyone on this thread). Many thanks to professeur Joshua of IEF Yaba.

olalekan9320:
I also just started learning French but I'm planning to write by julliet ou en août

Please ayandee , did you have any French background when you started learning in April?

No. I started from A1 in April. From the word "bonjour". But my learning has been intensive. I attend classes everyday and do a lot of listening/speaking outside of the classroom.

Enculer2:
So I did a simulation this morning just to see how screwed (or not) my TEF results are.

1st Official Language: IELTS (not yet written but will put in the right and hope that I don't get screwed over):

Speaking - 7.5
Listening - 8
Reading - 7
Writing - 7

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
2nd Official Language: TEF (confirmed results)
Speaking - 336
Listening - 334
Reading - 290
Writing - 384

Projected spouse results (not yet written)

Speaking - 7
Listening - 7.5
Reading - 7
Writing - 6.5


Total of 472 with IELTS as primary language and much lower with TEF as primary language (no thanks to the bastards at my exam centre)

Age close to 40 so not gonna be easy.

Preparations for IELTS begins now so I might go under for a while very soon.

Aim higher for ielts. You can get more than what you projected. Just prepare well. I did the same

Enculer2:
Cheers.

What does it mean to "max IELTS"?

Score maximum points in all sections?

Listening 8+,writing 7.5+,reading 8+, speaking 8. It's achievable

Enculer2:
Cheers man.

I have not done the scores. I hope the B2 has not screwed me.

felicitations. Very good result. Not at all. You will have the extra 42marks if you can max ielts

Enculer2:
I have just seen my results and I am supremely confident that it is a racket (so is IELTS by the way).

Admittedly, I was expecting a high C1 in the comprehension orale as I felt I screwed up one of the long passages but no way was I B2. I had C1 in the speaking section in 2017, when I wrote TEF just to gauge my level. I have progressed since then.

So I had a low score in the section that is definitely my strongest point - funny! Very subjective the whole marking and I understand that there are no remarks for TEF.

I will work hard in my IELTS now. I plan to register for December or January at the latest. My madam should follow soon afterwards.

I wish those who are writing the best. Your examiners (plus the rigged system) will definitely influence the scores you get in the speaking section. I wish you the very best.

As for the other sections, I believe that you can get even better scores if you are focused.

welldone. I can understand how you feel after putting in so much. What were your scores in writing and reading?

That's their sport

olalekan9320:
Please can you give more information regarding IEF schedule?

there are different classes A1, A2,B1, and B2/TEF class. I only go during my schedule. You may have to call them

magastefan:
Hello fam,so after careful research and calls placed to 3 different tutors...
IEF in Yaba was the cheapest with 20k per month 9am -1pm
while AF ikeja 63k (9am-1pm) for 6weeks and 34k per month..
and tobidam 5k per hour.

Gurus in the house my questions is who has had an experience of IEF and successfully passed? Also which is the best option...please help don't ignore. I intend registering with one on Monday
God bless you all

I attend IEF. I wrote the exam on Saturday 26/10. Awaiting result. IEF is a TEF focused school

Worldtaker:
Fellow TEfarians, please these 85 long textes or past questions, are they for CO or CE or both?
Thanks.

CE only

Kennyyo:
TEF passe à Lomé samedi le 26 octobre, 2019.

CO: Benin, aide scolaire
CE: biere verte, patheons Haiti, un nouveau logiciel, les chauffeurs, and others.
EO: A. Call Train company to get information on their packages
B: Convince a friend to become a product tester.
EE. A. A 96yr old woman unfortunately had to sell her house.
B. Travels and holidays are worth more than certificates

Overall it was a nice experience. Had to drop the idea of TCF because the changed their dates.

For those who are already in B1/B2, just get on that Facebook page and get the link to those 85 past questions. I doubt there was any questions from both the CO and CE that I hadn't seen before. Although I didn't revise like 2 of the long texts and one of the long recordings for CO, but I had treated virtually every single question.

For the EO, practice speaking. It's not as difficult. The examiners were helpful with giving me confidence. Just keep practicing and don't stress too much.

I was thrown off balance by the EE. I struggled a bit. It's the only place I have a bit of fear. Though I try to ensure my grammar was correct but I didn't flow well.

Hopefully I can come back and share good news I'm another 4-6weeks.

Best of luck to us all.

congrats in advance

Mummychichi:
@ayandee how was your exam? I pray you get what you wish for

I did my best. Amen. Thank you mummychichi

dexla:
Pls I need your opinion people,
I'm considering starting at alliance francaise for 6 weeks intensive french class starting from A1 level but I recently came across a post about french diploma at Unilag for 9 months but classes only takes place on Saturdays.
I would like to know if anyone has gone through the diploma path? I'm aware people are taking this route for additional education qualification but in terms of TEF exam I had like to know the proficiency level if it's up to at least B1.
I would appreciate a quick response as I have less than 3days to apply for the program.

6weeks of intensive french classes would never be enough if your goal is to write TEF.

For the unilag diploma, if your aim is just to have the unilag diploma certificate to boost your crs points, then go ahead with it.

For the purpose of TEF exam, you need at least 7 months of intensive classes (everyday classes) and lots of personal efforts to stand a chance if you have no previous knowledge of french.

@mamaroon, enculer Please how do I check the results in 4weeks time? Or would I be notified by mail? Was given a small slip containing ID and password. On what site will I use that?

Akolawole:
On paper, he is NOT a criminal.

Why should he learn a trade when he posses an academic brain.

And I think with a PhD, he can get a lecturing job eventually

Fabguen:
Thank you! wishing you CLB 7 and more all round.

amen. Thanks

Took the TEF exam today in Lagos. Thanks to the members of this thread- mamaroon, enculer, bellerin, fabguen and everyone
Listening- Benin, aide scolaire
La comprehension ecrite -biere verte, patheons Haiti, un nouveau logiciel, the chauffeurs protesting
Writing: Fait divers: A dog drives a truck
Les sites internet éloigner plus de gens qu'ils les rapprochent
L'expression orale- section A- Rent a vehicle for your occasion
Section b- convince a friend to use the services of a chef in his house

It's possible the warders told the others his story so they can be careful around him. The prisoners then decided to bring under subjection and will continue to do that so that he doesn't become a threat to them

jieta:
Just been emotional

Why can't a good citizen like this just assist the government to provide some basic amenities. It won't take anything away from them. Go to one local government that has bad roads fix them give them water you can even assist them provide water it will go a long way than flashing your wealth on the poor mass face

he does but I think he is more interested in the health and education sectors. He single handedly built and equipped the geriatric centre at UCH and has given scholarships to some indigent students

[quote author=IMASTEX post=83409361]Please need tips on:
* Documents needed to enroll for the exams?
* What aspects of the language is assessed?
* Registration cost?
* What are the exam intervals, is it similar to IELTS?
I'm planning on writing. Got no idea of the above.

Enculer:
Thanks for the tips. All the very best

merci

Enculer:
Thanks everyone.

For those who have not yet written, I am very sure you make better scores than I did in the CE and CO.

Happy to share materials and tips.

Has anyone written IELTS? How does it compare with TEF? Extra hard?

IELTS was quite easy for me. Had just 2weeks of preparation and maxed out.

For the writing part, I watched virtually all Jay's videos on writing to know what's required.

Writing Tef in 4 days time.

This is not a bible. It's a book titled "Act of marriage "

International passport

Enculer:
Everyone preparing for TEF.

My prayer is that your hardwork will pay and that the breaks will come your way.

You have worked hard, you deserve some luck as well. Good mood, good weather, good examiner, good questions.

Victory is yours.

amen. Thanks for this

Fabguen:
