Information was not verified but you lose nothing if you walk up to a registered BDC to make enquiries. N399 to a dollar not bad if it checks out.

Update: Learnt it's just about $8k per BDC

399/$ is the rate cbn sold to BDCs, please don't mistake that with the bdc rate to end users of the currency.

Please I have a question. During my assessment, ACS cut down my number of years of experience. Now when submitting EOI, I was asked to provide my employment details from start date to end date. Do I use the cut down version from ACS or do I put in the actual period of my employment details.
Thanks!

OzyMigrant:

I just hope that is not what PTE uses in scoring people.

This is not correct based on the interview granted by the president of Association of BDC on Bussiness Morning. This is the information posted on their website "NOTICE OF THE CBN APPROVED RATES FOR THE DISBURSEMENT OF IMTO PROCEEDS FOR THE WEEK 16TH JAN TO 20TH JAN 2017

1/17/2017

We wish to inform all ABCON members and the general public that the CBN approved rates for the disbursement of IMTO proceeds to BDCs for the week 16th Jan to 20th Jan 2017 are:- 1. Funding Rate-N381/USD 2. Selling Rate-N399/USD Also note that the volume to be sold to each BDC is US8,000.00 Thank you. Uduma, Cletus O Executive Secretary"

It is also correct that each operator got 8,000USD and i am so sure you cannot get to buy at the rate quoted by BDC of N399 to Dollar.

PTE is more accurate than all these softwares. Their algorithm has taken care of lots of native languages. In addition to E2 language videos, check out the ones by Navjot brar, she's Indian, you will gain one or two things.

The statutory declaration must be prepared by the other person, not you. I have attached the one I did for my job assessment. Note that I masked out all personal info

OzyMigrant:



Yeah, I have seen her video....very educative. .

Lolz@ shout from now till tomorrow. I have actually been practising with the Google speech to text on my phone and I have been getting about 95% accuracy. On a lighter note, maybe you really have an accent like someone from the South west

Thanks OP. Have you tried it yourself? What percentage of your speech did it pick correctly?

I have used a lot of speech to text SW both on my phone and PC. The more I used them, the more demoralized I became (not until Jamson.....a PTE legend here warned me against using them) ....I have junked them all.

jamson:

ehen... southwest english dey ja 90 well well ooo. ask Bnimz and Phlunter

jamson:
IMO, it is almost impossible to overhaul your pronunciation within one or two months of PTE preparation. It is like changing your accent within a short period of time and expect to be proficient at it.

Bnimz:
Wa, Southwest English for where... You heard my recording o, that accent no dey southwestern at all.. In fact, dem no fit use that accent identify me for street..

I didn't use speech to text software sha.. That thing na heartbreaker abeg. Even with that Brit-gerian accent, neither my computer nor my phone can understand me properly...

Another thing that i noticed with Google speech to text is that you need to have a good internet connection. I got accuracy lose to 90% when using a good internet connection but it drops significantly if am in a place that has slow connection.
