Fabguen:


Thanks for the check in emperor etrange. warm greetings!

You're welcome, bro.

Hope you're staying safe too.

Congrats @framaro. Please can I have your email address or phone number? Thank you

People of God, Please I need a good preparatory class(physical) for TEF in Ibadan. Help my life biko.

olalekan9320:
Yes, Learnt the language at IEF

Congratulations
Please how many months did it take you

olalekan9320:
Yes, it was, many thanks to elders of this thread

It was physical class

In my opinion, physical class is 50% tutor, 50 % personal efforts while online class is 25% tutor, 75 % personal efforts.

My "exam experience" was similar to the one shared by Framaro and asusfanatics.

My questions
CE
Normandie
Magazine Elle
7 et 97
Estival
Facilite
Apart from the long texts, other questions were totally new.

CO 047 (only OGs would understand)

EE

Here is my timeline, it isn't ideal because of Covid

Joined IEF November last year till mid march because of covid . I moved to self study, my speaking wasn't good so I started searching for people to speak with got a few from different countries. Also paid a friend/tutor just to speak with her. Read schaum's grammar, French verb drills, TEF 250 ( all these books are available on this thread) also scanned through Alter ego B1, B2 and C1.

My friends and I started speaking almost everyday around April/May, ( my secret to speaking ). I also got another tutor to correct my writing and speaking. Returned to IEF in June for B2 but left after like 3 days, I felt I don't really need it, went back for TEF class in July. Did several speaking sessions with Mamaroon and monsieur Fabguen, was certified okay and we eventually moved to writing, they gave a lot of advise and tips which really helped (Thank you very much for your selfless service, I so much appreciate). Left IEF again in July as I felt I really needed to focus on my writing, traffic wasn't also helping, so I continued with my previous tutor, she corrected my speaking and writing.
Ayande do send recent EE questions which I usually answer and she correct (Thank you very much, words can't express how grateful I am to you guys )

Wrote the exam in September, result came out after about 20 days.

Just to add
I focused more on writing and speaking because the pass rate is low especially writing, it's the French that you know that would help(and grace), no shortcut unlike the other two.

Read the long text for reading and listening more than 6 times. For longtext, there are different editions, same questions but different answers, I used the long text on TEF academie

The Ogas of this thread have already given a lot of tips, you can click on their moniker to read them.

TEF gave me 48 points, Wes and Unilorin has been passing me to each other but not really bothered since my CRS score is now 491

Wow. Thank you for taking the time to reply me in full. I almost missed it sef as I had already read your shorter reply and just saw this edit now.

God bless you abundantly.
As you said, personal efforts counts a lot plus team effort as regards speaking and writing and asking for help from those who have gone through the process. Thanks to Fabguen, mamaroon and Ayande and all those who helped him out. The success story is yours too.
I'm inspired.

Your CRS score be popping.

I will also encourage you to be patient and diligent with this process.

I used to say, is not rocket science, but I tell you, language learning can be more tasking than the physics.

The only thing is that it you will be seeing your progress though it might be appearing little and slow for the efforts you are pumping in.

Bon courage

Check on IRCC website here

https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/operational-bulletins-manuals/standard-requirements/language-requirements/test-equivalency-charts.html

I actually checked thd IRCC website before asking here.
Using the IRCC to the tef scores these are the corresponding clbs

Reading- clb 10
Listening -clb 9
Writing- clb 5
Speaking -clb 7.

Now my question is what is the overall clb for this kind of scenario?

Mamaroon:

There is nothing like overall CLB for IRCC (others may correct me please).......... it is the CLB/score per competence that counts e.g. reading, writing etc.

Perhaps for some provinces "overall" CLB applies........ where provinces ask for an overall CLB, they clearly state how you should compute e.g. overall CLB is the CLB of the lowest competence.

From my knowledge on overall CLB, the lowest CLB score determines the overall CLB and not finding the average as it is done in ielts calculation. However you can still inquire more from IRCC website or the province you want to apply to

The answer is on page 1.

The nclc/clb is 5. The lowest is chosen, however it doesn't matter. It's each individual score that matters

I will also be taking the test with my wife. abbeynelsonfrancis@gmail.com.

I have been following the thread from inception. Considering my CRS simulation score, i have made up my mind to give it a shot as God will help me.
I am 29years old, married with Msc in information Technology as well as my wife (25years Msc). I have over 5years working experience in 2 different multinational companies as an I.T officer. I believe with God on our side, IELTS examination will be to our favor...

Are you sure you actually need to write TEF? You guys seem to have a pretty good chance without TEF, going by the details you've given.

How many years work experience does your wife have?

Simulate your scores first with you as the PA, and then your wife. I suspect you may have a better chance as you have more years of work experience. You may not need French. Use 8777 (8 in listening) to simulate, and then aim to score that as a minimum in the real exam.
