IELTS vs TEF
I don't know if people are still following this thread.. I will be sitting for both IELTS and TEF. Having completed my studies in the UK i didn't worry much about English test...after several failed mock tests though I'm starting to be concerned. I have been learning English for 15 years total (lived in England for 5 years) and I have lived in France for 5 years (didnt go to school here though). IELTS is in 2 weeks and TEF is in 4 weeks.
I can say that listening part is equally easy. It is even easier in TEF as the answers are already provided. IELTS is trickier as I believe misspelled words will not be accepted. Reading though...OMG! TEF is a piece of cake, I easily scored level C1 without any practice. After 5 IELTS reading tests I still can't get passed 6.5 (8-10 mistakes)... I don't understand how can people that are not as fluent get a top score?! The questions are unnessesarily complicated. I really hope that my practice tests are harder than the actual tests.
Can someone confirm please if the actual reading section is as twisted?

Hi Ronit,
Can you please share TEF study material with me. My id is skynetstates@gmail.com. Thanks in advance
That's because you are doing the reading section of ACADEMIC IELTS. What you need for the immigration is GENERAL TRAINING IELTS. So if you signed up for Academic one, that's useless and you lost $300. You gotta sign up for the General Training one.
The difference between them is in reading and writing sections. The rest are the same. General Training IELTS reading section is easy, at least it's easier than TEF reading section.

That's great...have you registered? Wanted to register in October too but was told it's full.
Sorry for the late response
Personally, specifically speaking of the Reading section, I found IELTS reading part much easier than TEF reading part. Maybe you are practicing Academic cases. I am more at ease with French language but I made less mistakes in the IELTS reading part.

Merci beaucoup d'avance
Je vous conseille de voir aussi David Le Blanc à YouTube. Il y a plusieurs vidéos que peut-être pourront vous aider. Saluts,

Merci beaucoup. Vous êtes très gentil. C’est très utile. Je vais l’étudier plus. Mais...avez-vous d’autres suggestions pour se préparer...particulièrement pour l’expression orale? J’ai très peur de parler et je bloque souvent quand je parle français
