NanaF:
Just curious, was learning French for TEF exam for this immigration purpose? Because you didn’t need it as your CRS was already really high without it.

Not really, I could speak French before now. But the whole crs thing made me to write the exam.

You didn't see the quotation signs in the beginning and at the end of the write to indicate it was copied?

njbybrthnly:
Oga expect your ITA before tomorrow morning

Ca marche comme ca ?

I noticed we can actually type in French provided you don't use the accents.

queenieB:

DanMisla:

EyesondPrize:

Hmm... OK.

Mapleking:

njbybrthnly:
Lol...congratulations etrange! Hope you've started gathering your documents

P.S let me be the first to say congrats on your ITA!

please, when did you start learning french ?
did you go to any french school?

I did not go to any French school but I have been an autodidact (a self taught person) since post secondary school days.

Barryston:
Any work experience outside Canada is a foreign work experience

Oh... true. I misinterpreted it. Thanks.

pepe1:
Congratulations!

Kindly tell how many points you got, if you don't mind.

And the B1?

I got 9 points. In fact, I no longer know how it is calculated. All I know is that I got 9 points under second language proficiency. Lol

rosepetraa:
Don't Forget you have other things working for you -
Age (less than 30 gives max. Points)
Masters degree

I simulated and got 485.

In fact, if you didn't sit for TEF, you would have gotten 475. 475 +10 (TEF ) = 485

A quick one, why does "skill transferability foreign work experience" give "50" even when you have never worked in Canada?

For everyone asking me about learning French language, TEF exam and how to go about it, please follow this thread:

I will be extremely glad to answer your questions there.

Learning French is the way forward!

Hello My TEF Family!

I got points for my TEF exam o!!!

It's worth it! Hang on there, don't let go!

jmnsimone:
My profile is similar to yours - without TEF but I maxed out IELTS - and my CRS is 481, so there's nothing to worry about.

Thank ma...

Influential101:
@ etrange, so you're just creating your EE profile.. by the time you're post ITA, you'll have 20 pages to yourself

Meanyl, your score though.. ITA too sure

I'm just clearing the way for the ground breaking questions I'll be asking after ITA.

Youtook:
I'm not oga o!

Ah... Sorry ma.

rosepetraa:
Don't Forget you have other things working for you -
Age (less than 30 gives max. Points)
Masters degree

I simulated and got 485.

485! That's the exact figure. Wow!

I was literally sad when I saw it. Thought I'd messed up the whole thing

rosepetraa:
I believe it is TEF. Whats your band for TEF - LWRS in that order. If you have straight B2's aside from getting 16 points (4 points each) you also get an extra 30 points. Thats 46 points.

I simulated your scores using B2 For LS and B1 for WR.
I got 483. I believe you re in order

This makes me feel better.

I got C1 in writing. The B1 is in listening.

oyeoye64:
Congrats Bro/Sis. 8 alone in listening is a bomb increase in points. Any special tip for newbies?

Thanks. I'm going back to recheck all my entries though.

Listening tip? I don't have much to say. Just concentrate as much as possible not just for the words but also for the insinuated messages. Best of luck!

It's "bro".

kashamadupe0906:
very possible, TEF carries alot of point. I don't think u did anything wrong...

I'm just scared. Wasn't expecting that. TEF gave me only 9 points cause of my B1 in listening.

rosepetraa:

L8,W7,R8,S8.

TEF: C1,C1,B1,B2

TEF gave me only 9 points cause of the B1.

Guys help!!!!

I'm panicking! My CRS is 485! How? I don't have Canadian connection.

I have MSc
Less than 30 yrs
IELTS: 8887
I have TEF.
4 to 5yrs work experience.

That's all. Help me, is 485 possible? Did I get anything wrong?

Youtook:
No idea. Lol.

Oga, wait joor...

Pros and Cons of Computer Based IELTS

"The computer-based IELTS test is becoming more and more common.

You will be pleased to know that the questions included on the computer-based and paper-based exams are exactly the same. The only difference will be your experience on the day of your exam.

Below, you will find a list of the pros and cons of the computer-based test and whether it will help you get the score you need.

But just to give you a little context...

When you book your test, you will be given an option to take the listening, reading and writing parts of the test on a computer.

(For the speaking part of the test, it is compulsory to be done with a human).

This preference can vary- some pupils really like the traditional way of pen and paper whereas for other students, the computer is far more favourable.

So which is better for YOU?

Let’s take a look at the pros and cons...

PROS

> Many find typing makes writing ‘easier’, particularly editing. For example, it is easier to re-organise paragraphs, to delete sentences etc.

> The word count is accurate and instantly accessible.

> Test centres are less crowded.

> You don’t need to worry about your handwriting.

> You get your results faster.

CONS

> You can’t draw, highlight or make notes on the screen.

> Screen fatigue- for example, sore/tired eyes.

> Typing is a distraction, especially by those who type very loudly.

> Not comfortable typing or unfamiliar with keyboard layout.

> Not enough practice questions.

> Not comfortable with computers in general.

As you can see, there are many factors to consider but the most important thing is this: choosing to do the test on a computer does NOT make it easier.

If you’ve taken the IELTS exam multiple times and keep failing to get the score you need, it is NOT because you didn’t take the computer-based test. It’s likely that there are serious problems with your reading, listening, writing, speaking or exam skills that need to be addressed.

What’s worse is that you might not even know what they are!"

Lol.... the perfect link.

Youtook:
Really? Still haven't received mine. Sent them an email. No response.

When is your due date and what's your status now?

Youtook:
This is what mine looks like. Should I start crying? Lol

Lol... they'll update it to tell you if your documents were accepted followed by your completion due date. You can wait or push them via mail. Depends on how long it's been like that.
