I'd suggest you chat more in French especially with more advanced persons who can easily employ certain level of linguistic variations (i.e. multiple ways of saying the same thing). If you like novels like myself, pick up one and read at your leisure time. Read French articles online and try to use any new word or expression learned (that's the only way to retain). It may seem as if the progress is slow or as if you're forgetting the new words almost as fast as you're learning them but the truth is, you'd remember the meaning of the words when you see them in the context other surrounding words and that might just be what you need to get what a sentence is all about. In the exam, the passages get tougher as you proceed (this largely depends on your level). Solve the simpler ones first, then ensure you, at least, get the overall message of the ones you find extremely tough. Sometimes, that's sufficient to answer the questions. In the case that you still don't know the answer to a question, apply the elimination method and move on.

Most importantly, read past questions. Asides the fact that they're repeated, they also get you accustomed to the nature of the exam.

Thanks for the tips.

From your experience, did you see questions repeated? CO or CE?

hi

@ Enculer please take note of my number. Thanks.

I advice you remove your number from the message.

Enculer:


I think you need google chrome for it.

A couple of people have also complained they can't access the group.

Wow.

I gotta study study study. No relaxing.

I did connect yesterday. So it is a wassap group created by the same guys at "comment se preparer au TEF" facebook group.

I used Chrome and then connected using the barcode. You need to activate wassup on your phone first.

I do not know if that was where they had issues. When I tried scanning the bar code using Firefox, it did not work.

The good thing with the group is that they dissect the questions.

Today for example I am working on the CE questions for Juillet 2017. Someone has just posted response to the 50 questions on FB.

Happy days for me.

I will answer on my own and then crosscheck.

Try again using chrome. I connected last night.

Tips for the Comprehension Ecrite

-Do not waste time doing a first and a second reading.
-Rather, do one ‘slow’ and ‘concentrated’ reading.
-Read the question.
-A proof of having done a good read is the ease with which you can locate the paragraph that holds the response to the question you have just read.
-You will not have to do a second read this way.

Attempt in order if possible:
- Question 1 – 10 (6 minutes max)
- Question 11-13 (3 minutes max)
- Questions 41 – 50 (8 minutes)
- Question 14 – 19 (3 question each, 8 minutes)
- Questions 20 – 27 (4 question each, 12 minutes)
- Question 28 – 40 (toughest questions, remaining time)

If you work hard on the 85 texts, you can finish before time.

I think you'd get better help if you DM him and perhaps get his contact there in.

As for NOUN, it's very well recognized and evaluated like any other university. The evaluation is even simpler as the transcript is processed online. If it's MSc and the period overlaps with your work experience period, remember to put "correspondence" in bracket after the school name while filling your application post ITA.

Short answer: Yes.

Really difficult? This is relative. Since you're not an absolute beginner, you will be aii with good targeted practice.

All the best. Shine your torch light on Writing. Recommend devoting more time to this. Use exam conditions too (1hr 2 sections). Blessings!

Thanks for the tips.

Need to work on writing. What are the main categories that common at the EE?
- fait divers
- formal letters
?

For section 1(fait divers): the stories are generally "insolite" ...look through the thread for more stories.

Section 2: most of the themes I've practised with are around tourisme, francophonie, disappearance of languages, impact of technology on communication...

Some are quite easy while some appear difficult é.g Baucerons.
I think i have the table. I have been confirming the answers from it. Is it this?

That is it. Brilliant. I have 91 questions in total. 3 question text, 4 question text and fill in the gap.

I copied and pasted the questions as well.

The French speaking guys do very well. C2 C2 in CO and CE.

It is incredible that some of the questions are repeated. To think that these questions are heavy weighted.

I heard that this us not the case for IELTS. No repetition.
