I just saw that you also cleared yours!!! Mega congratulations🎉🎉🎉
This thread has indeed been such a blessing. The support, the info on here…the ever ready to answer OGs. God bless you all. Amen!!

Yes I did! Thank you!!
This thread is gold to anyone who intends to take this exam. I would read it twice and be motivated on almost every page.

Felicitations!

I'm certain it still feels surreal to you. I feel all you've said is a summary of the pain of the process, which has yielded a positive result.

Congratulations once more!

Hello house,

I am back with my testimony. After three attempts of being stuck at band 6 in EE and changing structures, I have finally shattered the nclc 7 ceiling at my fourth attempt! CE B2 CO C1 EE B2 EO B2. Just for someone here, please don't give up and always believe you can improve. I threw in the towel many times and picked it back up because... 50 points makes a world of difference. Thank you to everyone who encouraged me here. So, what I did for this last attempt:
1. Registered for a McGill online TEF writing course structured by a former TEF examiner (this demystified the entire EE for me)
2. Kept my former Cameroonian tutor. She's very patient; she will deal with your grammar warmly, making you want to learn. I can drop her contact if anyone is interested. She followed me through all my ups and downs and never let me go.
3. Attempted Madame Bizang, but after a few classes, I realized that her attitude was not tailored for me. I did all my homework and attended classes early, but she'd talk down on every piece of classwork I produced, saying my grammar was pretty much zero without offering any solid solution. She once told me I couldn't get the desired score in her opinion, and I started losing confidence in both my written and oral French. So, I quietly quit.
4. I listened to 8 milliard de Voisin on RFI daily. Anytime I heard a new word, I'd stop, check the meaning and how to use it, and then use it in conversation with my tutor. I also watched French movies on Netflix.
5. Prepmyfuture is a powerhouse. I cannot overemphasize the content there. Please NOTE: they have now updated their content to suit the new format of the TEF starting from Dec 11, 2023.
6. Joined a Cameroonian TEF prep WhatsApp group called Dr. Manfred C2. I used it to study how the native French write and just followed their convos.
5. I praised God ahead of test day. I almost missed my test due to unforeseen traffic, but we thank God.
If you've followed my story, you'd know I have been through the fire... but other testimonies encouraged me, so I'm encouraging someone else; it is worth every sleepless night, frustrated days, tears, mental, physical, and emotional exhaustion. In total, I got an extra 62 points from TEF.

Apologies for the long write-up; I promised to come back with my praise report, and here it is. Have a blessed evening, everyone!

Thank you very much. It's been an intense year, but I'm so grateful to God. It also goes beyond the results; I wanted my daughter to know that it pays to be hardworking and never give up on your dreams, no matter how challenging it gets.

Well said ma ...it also a source of motivation for me.

Felicitations!

If I may ask, is your PrepMyFuture still active? Although I have already taken the TEF and obtained a CLB 7, I am considering taking the exam to get all the points available for French and would like to get a feel of the new format, I just wrote IELTS and got CLB 10 for English.

EDIT: I don't need to take the TEF exams again, I was using French as my first language (because I wrote it first) instead of English.

Anyone interested in coaching for TEF exams can contact me now, I was busy with work whilst also preparing for IELTS, now it is over and I got all maximum possible points for English.

I am available for anyone who needs a French tutor or study partner.

Congratulations on your IELTS results. I'm looking to do same. Could you give me any advice, share any resources...etc?

For the writing, I used these Youtube channels: IELTS Advantage, Fast Track IELTS and Lilie IELTS.
For the speaking, I regularly watched band 9 speaking videos and mumbled what I would say if asked the same questions.
For the listening and reading, I used Cambridge English IELTS books (I practiced both academic and general).

Haven't heard of those channels before. I'll definitely check them out.

Congratulations!
This is so inspiring!

You don’t know how this write-up has helped me! it has also confirmed some of my reservations with a certain tutor. I have taken note of the tips you gave and have determined to study for atleast 3 hours everyday for the next one year. I pray I am able to come back with my own testimony too. Goodluck in all your endeavours!

If you're the physical class kinda person, you can as well register with Mafit Study Center. Their registration fees is cheaper than British Council and IDP and they give free physical classes for a month. Did my speaking test in their office and I must confess, it was worth it.

Hello Guys,

Is TCF Tout Public also accepted by IRCC. My consultant advised me to write it as there is no more space for TCF Canada this year.
Any Gurus in the house please let me know.

Many thanks

Some visa agents don't know anything. If it isn't TCF or TEF canada then it isn't maybe it would work for Quebec but not the federal ITA

Thank you! Congratulations on your IELTS as well! Well, yes my prepmyfuture is still active till the end of the year, however I already gave my details to a family friend taking the test in February and it logs out whenever there’s a log in on another device. So I believe they structured it to be used one interface at a time. I’m sorry. If you join the WhatsApp group I mentioned, they drop materials from time to time for practice purposes.

I wish you all the very best. Please don’t give up; you only fail when you quit. It is achievable and the only person that can stop you is you. I look forward to reading your testimony. Cheers!

Do be careful with any application going through a consultant or agent, follow them CLOSELY, the stories abound of applications that have been jeopardized due to their carelessness and mishandlings.

Sometimes, I find they know just as much or even less, if we could just dedicate a few hours and some discomfort to making research.

For Express Entry, it's strictly TEF and TCF Canada that's accepted, no other, the application will be rejected otherwise.
TCF tout public and TCFQ can go for Arrima(QUÉBEC) although I'm seeing conflicting info.

Noooooooo! It is only TEF Canada or TCF Canada for Express Entry. Don't let your consultant mislead you.

You can use this - doesn't have access to the tests anymore but the lessons and tips are still there, last I checked.

Both are case sensitive.

As Purplehibiscus said, it'll only allow one person to be signed on at any point in time.

It's just 39euros for full access...well worth the money IMO.

All the best!

Thanks, I used the simulation on the Le francais des affaires websites to get a feel of the new format. They have reduced the number of questions for the reading and listening tests.

Sidenote: Anyone interested in preparing for the TEF exams can contact me, I am still available and my contact is available in my signature and profile.

For those who sent a request to me via email for the three books on the writing and speaking tests of the TEF exam, I have sent it to your emails (although very late, because I just checked my Gmail after like a month).
