Toefl next generation

Editorial Team / Admin · Nov 20, 2005

I know that this is not the right catagorie but I am unsure in which one to write it. My question is, what points do I need for the new next generation Toefl and if I need in addition the TSE despite that the new Toefl has a speaking section? I already asked the CGFNS(I am doing the NY Verification unfortunatly via an Agency in Miami), the Ageny in Miami and also the TOEFL, but nobody was able to give me an answer of this for me very important question. I read the .gov website, but also nothing to find.
And another question regarding the NCLEX:
My Agency told me that they were going to send my Application Form for the NY BON last week. How long will it approximatly take to get the ATT Card?
Thank u very much, hope someone can give me an answer of all these questions,
Ramona

Hello, Ranona.

I moved your thread to the International Forum for a better response. Suzanne, the moderator for this forum, will answer you.

I much prefer the IELTS series, you get to speak to a human with it, and not answer to a machine.

The approval time for the ATT is going to be based on how quickly CGFNS receives the documents that they requested form your school and licensing agency at home. Once they receive everything, they will submit the documents, etc to NY. On average it is about 2 weeks, before you will get permission to register for the NCLEX. NY no longer sends the NCLEX, but that is done by Pearson-Vue once the fee has been paid and they hacve also received approval from NY.

How long ago was your application submitted for the CVS? And did your agency receive confirmation that everything was approved and accepted?

Hello Suzanne,

I don't like the IELTS, thats the reason why I asked regarding the TOEFL. It is with too much graphs etc. and I onky learned auntil now for the TOEFL, I am more familiar with that.

The CGFNS, on my account, I can see, that the report issued in March. I filled the applicationform, with picture and Notary signature and sent this to the agency in October. Last week, when I called the Agency, they told me, that they are going to send the application to the NY State Board. Thats all what I know. I am going to call the agency today or tomorrow in order to ask if they actually sent the apllication to the NY BON. But what then? I 'll get the approval from the NY BON and with that I can pay the pearson institute and then I get the ATT CArd in order to make the appointment for the test,is this right?

I hope so. I am going to do the test in London because I am since 3 weeks in Birmingham as a OR Nurse.

Thank you Suzanne,

Greetings,

Ramona

Actually, there can be more graphs on the TOEFL series or exams. It depends on the one that you get that day, as there are multiple exams that they have.

Exams are quite similar in anture, except that IELTS has the benefit of speaking to a person for the speaking section, vs. a c\machine for the TSE.

I am confused, you got approval last March, but are just now filing with NY BON? Was this do to your agency, or you?

Hello Suzanne,

that through the agency. They told me, that I have to do FIRST the TOEFL and TSE, and when I get these both test done, then I can do the NCLEX. But my English wasn't good enough at this time in order to pass the tests. With the NCLEX it is not so hard for me. Then, in August, a new one started at the agency and she told me, NO, you can do the NCLEX first, because the english tests are for the immigration prozess! So, I waste the whole time!!! That is the reason, why they send it hopefully last week to NY. I am really angry with that, you can believe me. I was the whole year in Florida and now I had to go to England in order to earn money and my Visa(B2) expired after 6 month extension in November.You ever heard of the agency "Open Hearts" in Miami?

Thanks,

Ramona

I have heard mention of them, but really do not know anything aobut them. Many agencies have incorrect information and they never update it or change it. It is always recommended that you follow closely what the requirements are and do not rely on them. You would have saved yourself months and months.
