Guitarlife:
Good day every one, please I need some clarifications regarding this ielts.

Consudering the 2 modes of payment,

1. if I pay with my atm card, will I need to take any doc to the british council prior to the date of writing the exams ?

2. If I pay via bank draft, will I be required to physically visit the british council prior to the date of writing the exams ?

Am asking these questions cos I have a very busy schedule and I will prefer to go with the option that will not take much of my time.

Many thanks.

FOR THOSE WHO NEED TIPS IN THE IELTS SPEAKING TEST: IELTS Speaking Test: Key Facts
Duration: Between 11 and 14 minutes.
Participants: Candidates interviewed individually.
The test is recorded.
Format: The test consists of three parts.
Part 1 (Interview)
Part 1 of the IELTS Speaking test lasts between 4 and
5 minutes. The examiner will ask some simple
'getting-to-know-you' questions which will help the
examiner find out a little about you and help put
you at ease. These will be general questions such as
about your family, your studies, where you come
from or what your interests are.
Example Questions
Q: Where are you from?
Q: Why are you studying English?
Q: Have you visited any English speaking countries?
Q: Do you play any sports?
Tips!
Giving full, relevant answers to the examiner's
questions will help get the interview off to a good
start.
1) Avoid giving short, uncommunicative replies.
Q: Where are you from?
A: I'm from Hoorn in the Netherlands. (Don't stop
there!) It's about 35 kilometers north of Amsterdam.
It's a modern city but with a lot of history and a
lovely place to live.
2) Avoid short, 'yes', 'no' answers to closed
questions. (These are questions beginning 'Have you
...', 'Do you ...', 'Is it ...' etc which can be answered
simply with a yes or no answer).
Q: Have you visited any English speaking countries?
A: Yes. (Don't stop there!) I went to England last year
and spent two weeks seeing the sights. A couple of
years ago I went to New York with my parents and
had a great time.
Q: Do you play any sports?
A: No. (Don't stop there!) I'm not really interested in
playing sports. I like watching sport on TV and I
really enjoyed keeping up with the Olympics
recently.
3) Offer examples to help you explain a statement.
Q: Why are you preparing for the IELTS exam?
A: Because I need it for my studies. (Don't stop
there!) I've been offered a place at a university in
England to study on an MBA but I need to show my
level of English is good enough.
Part 2 (Long Turn)
Part 2 of the IELTS Speaking test lasts between 3 and
4 minutes (including 1 minute preparation time). The
examiner gives you a task card and you have to
speak about the subject without interruption for
between 1 and 2 minutes.
Example Task
Example 1) Describe a place you have visited that
you have fond memories of.
You should say:
where this was
why you went there
what you did there
and what it was about the place that makes it so
memorable.
Example 2) Describe your favourite personal
possession.
You should say:
what this possession is
when you first got it
when you use it
and why it's so important to you.
Tips!
1. Use your 1 minute preparation time wisely and
make notes of the points you'd like to make.
2. The question will help you with the structure of
your talk. The introduction can include the item itself
and maybe a brief description. The main body of
your talk could describe the situation when you
acquired the object and go on to explain when you
use it. You can then end with an explanation of why
the object is so important.
3. Try to avoid giving a very dry, unimaginative
introduction such as ' The object I'm going to
describe is ....'. Get your talk off to a memorable
start with something on the lines of: 'If I was about
to lose everything and could only save one thing it
would be my ... ', or 'I've got several things that mean
a lot to me but the one that really stands out is my
... '
4. If you're concerned about not having enough to
talk about for 1 to 2 minutes or running out of time
before you've finished, the answer is to practise as
often as possible. Time yourself and ask a friend for
feedback.
Part 3: (Two-Way Discussion)
In Part 3 of the test, which lasts between 3 to 4
minutes, the examiner will ask you questions linked
to the topic in Part 2.
Example Questions (Based on example topics in
Part 2 above)
Q: It is sometimes argued that local cultures are
being destroyed by tourism. Why do think people
might feel this?
Q: What benefits do people get from travelling to
other countries?
Q: Do you think people are becoming too
materialistic?
Q: To what extent are people's buying habits
affected by advertising?
Tips!
1. If you need time to collect your thoughts use
expressions (sparingly) like: ' That's a good
question.', 'Well, let me think ...'.
2. Don't forget to avoid short, 'yes', 'no' answers. Try
to offer examples to back up a statement.
3. Help make your contributions memorable. Try
explaining a point using a short, personal anecdote.
4. If the examiner asks a question that you don't
understand, take control of the situation with
questions such as those that appear below.
Responding like this will show evidence of your
communication skills.
A) If the examiner uses a word or phrase that you
don't understand, say something like:
"Sorry but could you explain what you mean by
........" or
"I haven't come across that word/expression before.
Could you explain what you mean?"
B) If you simply didn't hear something that was
asked, respond with:
"Excuse me, I didn't quite catch that. Could you say
that again?"
"I'm sorry, but would you mind repeating that?"
C) If you want to make sure you've understood what
the examiner has asked you could say:
"Do you mean ........"
"When you say ........, do you mean/are you asking
........?

I thought you were suppose to pay through a bank draft and not teller. what I know is that you buy a bank draft from any branch go to their office with your passport and then they will give you a receipt which you will get a confirmation email few hours later. better call their office to know what's up.

to everyone emailing me for the practice IELTS book 9. I'm so sorry coz I'm having issues sending it. the file is too large for my phone and I'm out of the office through out this week. hopefully I will send it next week. please bare with me. thanks.

hello house. I registered for ielts last Friday. I have booked my space already in the 21st of November 2015. I couldn't pay online then because I had issues with my bank. so I choosed to pay later. now I want to pay for the test as I must pay fast so they won't cancel my registration. i will like if somebody here can put me tru and explain to me how I'm going to to about the payment. tanks.

Unfortunately, you cannot pay online again once you get past that page (without a successful payment)

Your best bet to complete that registration is payment using bank draft.

Go to any bank and pay for a bank draft for 40k in favour of "British Council". Take the receipt/teller from the bank to British Council office and make your payment.

Shortly after, your application status will be updated and confirmed.

Thanks Giov. Infact after doing extensive research in the last two days, I have discovered that my IELTS result is more than perfect for another purpose similar to what I initially intended to use it for, Just a different country. I just have to redirect my plans. I've been having serious doubts about U.K anyways. I think I'm gonna be fine.

WhyNa:

It's the bank draft you'll take to British council o. Or has the system changed?

Just got my result for the 24th of October In Lagos
R 9.0
L 9.0
S 7.5
W 6.5
OV 8.0

SomebodyLovesMe:

Guitarlife - If you pay with your atm card, you do not need to visit the British Council before your test date.

If you pay via bank draft, then you need to take the bank draft physically to the British Council along with a copy of the passport you registered with and a printout of the confirmation email you received after registering.

Bank drafts should be payable to: British Council

How will those not in Lagos contact the British council?
