Debbyiiii:

should I apply for ielts and do the exams cause they didn't ask for bank statement

Hi, hurry and do your ielts. It will be favourable by Gods grace. Just get materials on all 4 components. Are you doing academic or general? Either way it shouldn't be too hard since its 6.0 minimum.

I know you have answered that you provided 12 months statement before getting the NSE request for ielts only. what I want to know is was the total pof in the account forms 1st month to 12 months or you built it over 12 months till the balance showed the pof.

I am definately going to recommend learn french with Alexa

Me too actually. She is a bad ass teacher. As in e go enter your head sha ni. Slow and steady and reemphasise without being annoying.
All the grammaire my AF teacher taught in A 1 class that he will just be rushing to cover the textbook, na from Alexa videos i comprehended it.

If you now farabale watch the support videos again for emphasis, do the exercises, o ma bad gan.

But you still need tutor sha later on. Cos of speaking and writing and asking of questions.

Guys pls help, I have browsed through tons of schools but still not sure the ones that are more likely to give admission. My CGPA is 3.63, Second class upper but I applied to Queens University last year, I didnt get admission. Bla bla bla we are not offering you admission, the admission process was very competitive kinikan kinikan.

My friend too who applied to University of Ottawa too with a 2.1 didn't get admission.

I Don't want my money to waste this time around biko.
Will I get admission with this CGPA.
What options do I have? My first degree was in law.

What schools are more admission friendly and not too competitive. If they say 2.1, is it 2.1 truly abi they have other things they look at.
Note that I want to do masters in Law and not all schools offers it. Memorial university, University of new Brunswick etc do not.

Wow, what a nice result regardless of the low B2 ibspeaking. I like those Cs a lot.
I wish you a favourable remark.

BabeX:
I just received my TEF results and I scored as follows Writing C1, Listening C1, Reading C1 and speaking B2 (279). I studied for 5 weeks and was confident I could do well as I had done French in secondary school and was one of the best students in French class. To study I used the tips I read here on Nairaland, Youtube, Prepmyfuture app and listened to TV5 everyday. I am very disappointed that I was given a low B2 score in speaking given how hard I practiced over the 5 weeks, I do not think my speaking is that bad as I can hold conversations with French speakers I meet. I have been informed that I can remark my exam. I want to know has anyone one successfully remarked any sections of their TEF exam? Thank you.

@justwise pls epp my situation, lol.
can the sister of the spouse of EEA national apply for EEA family permit. My brother is married to an Hungarian lady, they are both in the UK and he wants me to apply but the thing is confusing and funnily worded.

Do you know anything about it? Pls.

I wish you the very best of luck and pray you get favourable results.

Okay so back with details...

Firstly EO, in my opinion you need to be very comfortable with speaking French. I immersed myself in French and I struggled a lot in both sections. I was stressed, very nervous and couldn’t communicate well even with the French I could speak. But the point is I didn’t stop speaking, I continued on.

CO, you don’t get to go back to previous questions, it is timed and it goes on to the next page after the time whether you answered the question or not. Pay attention to the texts and practice with the past questions.

CE, you can go back to the questions, so if you meet questions that you do not understand move on to the others you can and then go back to answer the ones that take time.

EE, you can move back and forth between section A and B. Answer the one you know first but spend more time on the section B.
Time really passes fast during the exam so always pay attention to the time.

To be honest, Most of the questions were new, only a few, and I mean really few past questions showed up.
I can’t really remember the questions but I’ll mention the few I do remember.

EO - call for information for a magic show at home, convince your friend to go for a vacation at at country side hiking on donkeys.
Btw I thought we’d be given time to study the and prepare questions, I found out that was false and you’d start immediately.

EE, a lady shopping in the supermarket found a weird object at the fruitS and vegetables stall
It is not useful to teach computer courses to older people.

CO and EO, i can’t really remember but study the strategy to pass it through past questions one or two old ones might pop on.

I have prayed that I get a minimum of B2 superior in all of the tests, because hmmm.

Yes, it was, many thanks to elders of this thread

It was physical class

In my opinion, physical class is 50% tutor, 50 % personal efforts while online class is 25% tutor, 75 % personal efforts.

My "exam experience" was similar to the one shared by Framaro and asusfanatics.

My questions
CE
Normandie
Magazine Elle
7 et 97
Estival
Facilite
Apart from the long texts, other questions were totally new.

CO 047 (only OGs would understand)

EE

Here is my timeline, it isn't ideal because of Covid

Joined IEF November last year till mid march because of covid . I moved to self study, my speaking wasn't good so I started searching for people to speak with got a few from different countries. Also paid a friend/tutor just to speak with her. Read schaum's grammar, French verb drills, TEF 250 ( all these books are available on this thread) also scanned through Alter ego B1, B2 and C1.

My friends and I started speaking almost everyday around April/May, ( my secret to speaking ). I also got another tutor to correct my writing and speaking. Returned to IEF in June for B2 but left after like 3 days, I felt I don't really need it, went back for TEF class in July. Did several speaking sessions with Mamaroon and monsieur Fabguen, was certified okay and we eventually moved to writing, they gave a lot of advise and tips which really helped (Thank you very much for your selfless service, I so much appreciate). Left IEF again in July as I felt I really needed to focus on my writing, traffic wasn't also helping, so I continued with my previous tutor, she corrected my speaking and writing.
Ayande do send recent EE questions which I usually answer and she correct (Thank you very much, words can't express how grateful I am to you guys )

Wrote the exam in September, result came out after about 20 days.

Just to add
I focused more on writing and speaking because the pass rate is low especially writing, it's the French that you know that would help(and grace), no shortcut unlike the other two.

Read the long text for reading and listening more than 6 times. For longtext, there are different editions, same questions but different answers, I used the long text on TEF academie

The Ogas of this thread have already given a lot of tips, you can click on their moniker to read them.

TEF gave me 48 points, Wes and Unilorin has been passing me to each other but not really bothered since my CRS score is now 491

Wow. Thank you for taking the time to reply me in full. I almost missed it sef as I had already read your shorter reply and just saw this edit now.

God bless you abundantly.
As you said, personal efforts counts a lot plus team effort as regards speaking and writing and asking for help from those who have gone through the process. Thanks to Fabguen, mamaroon and Ayande and all those who helped him out. The success story is yours too.
I'm inspired.

Your CRS score be popping.

Stay at Alliance. they are still the best in Lagos. Esp for Oral. never went there, but when u hear their students talk, you'll know. my 2 cents.

I know right. I wish too, but work, time and stress won't permit. I believe I have a good foundation already from AF regardless of how it goes.

Hoverboy27:
It’s obvious that you don’t know the system so no need. If you go to a reputable university, they assist you with placement as a matter of fact. From coaching you to constantly sending you available vacancies. They host fairs With partnership companies often. Most top universities have something called business clinic like my university. You present your idea and if it’s great they sponsor your entrepreneurship visa and help you funds for start up. Example “Google spareable uk”. That’s my pals company that got sponsored by uni. My proposal was not accepted but his group got lucky. So yes unis help startup entrepreneurs. Don’t say rubbish if you’re jjc pls.

True. Thanks for the heads up about job placement and fairs. It's a criteria I have to also consider.

Thanks Sis for chipping in. I appreciate the both of you. You know how we view universities can be a subjective thing. It doesnt mean one party is right or wrong.
As I said funny enough na Lincoln dey do me shakara say they want to write my school to confirm transcript. This, since May.

As it is Kent or Westminster may be the final choices out of necessity.

Aprokodaughter:



Uk university or international universities don't help with internship or placement. You do that yourself.

Whether you're an international student or not.

Why should they help you with your business? Universities only assist when the need be.

How will they teach you and still spoon feed you when you are not child.

It's Students who don't have plans that complain the most.

If you want to start a business you do your research yourself.

University of Lincoln is a good school. There are many universities in that 801 - 1000 that are good. Don't come here to start wailing

Thanks boss.
I appreciate.

Hoverboy27:
Lincoln University is trash.
Choose between Westminster and Kent instead.

Merci.

My people, please epp me.
For January, I am considering between University of Westminster, University of Kent and University of Lincoln and Nottingham Trent University for my masters in Law.

Pls, any pointers as to ease of student jobs and cheap accomodation?

Westminster is offering 3k scholarship out of 15k school fees.
Nottingham Trent is about 15k too with 3k scholarship.
Kent fees are like 14k or 15k.

Lincoln seems to be the cheapest as per fees but they are the ones whose admission is still pending and delaying because they sent email to my school and they have not responded.

Congrats. This is an inspiring result. And for first time (I presume), na you be the MVP. We pray for all of us yet to take our TEF that it favours us too.
Can you share your exam experience and questions.

Also, pls your classes at IEF, was it online or physical classes? I am considering signing up for their online because of traffic and work stress. Af physical classes isn't working for me again . I dont even have time to read and revise which is counter productive.

Good morning guys.
Good work you do here.
I have an early appointment but not sure of something. I applied for a uk visa years before biometrics with different given names, same surname and different date of birth. I since corrected my passport.
When i am asked now if i have been refused before do i say yes. I have never been refused under the passport i use now?
I'm thinking of including it in a typed additional information since i clicked no and cant edit. What do you gurus think?

Hi, pls how do I get Pearson pte materials? Where can I buy it in Nigeria?
Is it available online?
