Just like some other people, i am in need of your advice.This is my situation:

I am applying to MBON licensure, my CES was mailed to them last week of July. My ILA OPI englist test result was also mailed to them second week of August. Is there a way for me to follow up my status with MBON?I called Nclex already and they haven't recieved any advice from MBON .Hope somebody can advice me about this matter. thanks.

i see. was ILA OPI easy? what sort of questions were in it?

i also think the TSE is no longer offered in the US. Per ETS, the extension is only for those outside the US and Canada: http://www.ets.org/portal/site/ets/menuitem.fab2360b1645a1de9b3a0779f1751509/?vgnextoid=b5d7d898c84f4010VgnVCM10000022f95190RCRD

it's the iBT that replaced the CBT but with a speaking test. you can also use it for visascreen if you still need one.

it seems that MD BON doesn't reply to emails either 'coz a friend had to send multiple times before she got a reply.

I wonder which english exam the BON now requires for endorsement as the website still mentions TSE (no mention for IELTS/TOEFL). I hope you can ask them about this too when you can get through.

thanks nigeldj.

it took me like 15-20mins. for the ILA. you can say you'll have an edge with ILA coz it's a person to person test unlike speaking to just a computer. The test includes synonyms, anthonyms and analyzation,some given topics to discuss and a little about yourself. yes, sure but until this time i still can't contact somebody from MBON.hope i answer your question.thanks

but there is the TOEFL iBT replacing TSE if somebody needs it for Visa Screen. Thanks for the info Suzanne:kiss

The TOEFL IBT is essentially the same thing as the original TOEFL series, and is offered in the US. It takes care of the TOEFL, TWE, and TSE requirements.

This is what I have been trying to tell you, you need either to complete this or the IELTS series for immigration issues.

by the way, I checked again MD BON's webpage on endorsement. It has been updated. It now mentions iBT and IELTS too (along with TSE and ILA OPI). good news!

Also, a background check will be a new requirement for applications received next year 2007.

thanks again. goodluck!
