Feels that way. even with a B1, a test taker can "program" responses. There are also plenty of recycled questions compared to IELTS.

You hit the nail squarely and spot on. Perfectly put.

If you speak some French, hustle the writing and revise past questions. You will smash.

I saw one result 450/450 in writing - The guy smashed the rest. North African guy.

I was extra impressed.

Jubril not Buhari.

You aren't being totally honest. Something serious must have transpired while growing up for him to be bitter towards you guys. I know from experience. He's hurting inside. Except that thing is addressed, it's never going to be the same. Try finding out what is with an honest dialogue when he's in his best mood. Except you already know.

Thank you. The OP is not telling the whole story. He starts with "rich brother"....
Tell me are they all disabled?

Moboj:

Have you lost touch with humanity
It's mostly people that knows nothing about this kind of situation that's commenting here
Forget the most you can do is just to tell him to act "love" nothing more,the bashing won't help

The title of the post shows they only care about his money.
Simple.

opomulero:
our people say,
" a person that is judging based on the statement of one party is a wicked person".......

for someone to turn his back against you, even up to against his mother, let me tell you that your brother has his own side of the story to tell....

if you were to be in his shoe as i'm perceiving you through what you wrote, you will even react more than him......

the person wey never see fight/war na him dey call himself man, when war comes the true man in u will show forth

Thank you. You are wise.if you hear the other side of the story you will observe that the family had a hand in it all.

They probably want to control and suck life out of him.

Eze2000:




We have the same problem. My only uncle is a millionaire in the usa but never help my father or his kids. We found our way ourselves.

I am waiting for him to die so I can block his burial on our ancestral land. I am first son of a son. I own it all

Lazy man. Typical poor mentality. He owes you nothing.

eni4real:
My rich sister does not care about us

Are you disabled?

mascot345:


I blame African parents for giving birth to so many children without catering for them. That's why I hate poor or broke Girls. You should blame your parents. You people are 7. Chai. Large family.

Exactly. In most cases the sibling have an entitlement culture.

They milk the life and resources out of any successful sibling.

The OP is an example of an entitled and lazy sibling. Notice the "rich", "care" and "us" 8n the title.

It tells you all you need to know.

Go and work hard and leave him alone. Sounds like you guys contributed to him keeping his distance.

One sided story.

When a Nigerian family member says "does not care about us".

It means we do not chop his money

Simple.

chidekings:


The worst that can happen to a man is to be the only rich man in one family.

Exactly.

Awusa Fulani

I feel a French speaker has a better chance of smashing the TEF language exam than an English speaker of smashing the IELTS.

TOKNOW:


Pls how can I get them?

Worldtaker:
Go ahead, I just discovered that if you can get a good high score in French and you use it as primary language even if you have a low IELTS score, I mean not up to 8777, you can be sure of at least 460. You can simulate it yourself.

Interesting. I will simulate to see.

Jubril did not meet Putin.

Putin cannot waste his energy on such a lifeless slowpoke.

Jubril only shook hands. That is the closest he can get to Putin.

Evil man.

Bros, a lot of things to numerous to mention.
For instance, we had elections on Monday. That day was a like a normal day. There was no police, army, thug anywhere to snatch or burn ballot box . There was no public holiday, people went to school, work and other businesses like any other day.

Polling booths were open till 9pm and there was no police or army , anywhere yet there were no issues. People voted for their candidates peacefully and before we woke up the following day, the results had been announced and the losers congratulated the winners immediately nothing like going to tribunal.

If you were coming into Canada from naija based on how our naija elections are, you will surprised that elections were going on and it was just like a normal day.
When I look at all these things, I tempted to regret why I didn't move earlier to live in a working society. Nothing has given me more joy that living in an environment where things are working. How I wish naija will also work, i would have been happier.

How about moving from Europe to Canada? Any experience?

The black man and his black brain.

These fools have started young.

They will grow up to become fools that believe in rubbish.

Fabguen:


oh...those ones are heavy! once you pay for the exam, you'll have access to RoadtoIELTS - I used this exclusively for my prep. Was okay.

Thanks a lot I will register by month end hopefully.

Fabguen:


Lol. Everyone has written IELTS. It's arguably easier given you're a native speaker (I assume)

For resources, you'll find free useful stuff on vk.com... just do a site search and use "IELTS".

Thank. I asked because I opened up one Cambridge pdf document and the texts were huge. Defo longer than the TEF ones.

Without reading, I quickly closed it to let my head cool off.

ayandee:
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.

Thanks for the tips. All the very best

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?

The same evil region produced daft and wicked rulers.

Evil demon.

Lived in Francophone countries for like 4 years. Did not feel I immersed enough though but at least I got to listen to news and watched a few movies.

Daily interacting with people on the streets also helped.

Some people like exams bit I absolutely hate it. I do not feel exams are the best form of testing knowledge. I hate the feeling. Some people are good though and can use their little knowledge to get a lot from exams.

I think you can immerse yourself wherever you are as long as you have materials. Listening materials and you have online people to.discuss with.

Try not to use African accents. Try to use oyibo French as much as you can.

DanMisla:


Great CE/CO scores!!! Hopefully the others are even more impressive.
Best wishes.

Thanks. We shall see.

Mamaroon:


Very well done with the CO and CE. Thanks for giving back and please let's know how EE and EO go.

Was is CBT? I guess it was if results were immediate. How did you handle typing with accents?

The new grid is below. CLB 7 starts at 450/699. IRCC haven't updated the test equivalence tables or the EE profile. I've left enough emails for them, as I'm sure others have, they'll probably sort it before the end of Oct.....hopefully

Excellent.

Thank you very much.

for sample questions, Just type ccip tef candidate manual in a Google search. Look through this thread for some test day experiences too.

Similarities to IELTS:

1. 4 competency areas LWRS
2. Need to get a 7 in writing just like IELTS.
3. 2 writing tasks in EE
4. Mostly objective based questions.


Thanks a lot.

Thanks a lot

Fabguen:


Don't be too hard on yourself...at least you 've got at the minimum CLB 8.

All the best for the rest!

Thanks. Do you have the latest ranking? How the scores relate to the different bands?

Thanks in advance.
