opella:

Mine was okay too, patiently waiting for the results.

Same here...I've handed everything over to God!

Solitin40:

will not affect you even an advantage for you b4 u will hear them than oyinbo note that they will form accent Whch is funny

good luck

Funny really...same with the woman who interviewed me. The last time I heard her Uk accent was when she dropped d recorder in front of me (after she said those preliminary routine stuff). Other times her calabar accent was obvious but I liked her tho...just that my nerves took over

opella:
@iphie25, how was your test?

Was ok dear n urs?

opella:

Yes, it was on the 2nd, I can't remember the actual numbers but it was similar to what you wrote. I don't think is related to score.

What time was ur interview? Mine was supp'd to be by 12:20 but I arrived earlier.

JesusDWay:


Just go ahead and register. Get school to send your transcripts and they should include copy of your certificate, quoting the reference number that WES would give you after you have paid. This is to let WES know the documents belong to you. Pay courier money to school for them to use courier to send it cuz WES will send back to school for verification. You need to know someone in school who will ensure school responds quickly to it so your evaluation can be done in time. As for ACCA, just send WES a copy of the notification of your result and ensure you quote your reference number on it. They will put the two together and let you know when your evaluation is ready. Don't bother about the OND, you will only be wasting your time

pls answer my question na abeg

opella:

I did mine at PH too, the woman also wrote down some figures, I wonder what that means.

was it yesterday? was her name Margaret Udoh? what did she write for u?

Solitin40:

i don't think white interviewer is available at Ibadan center

Same as PH.

Hello everyone,
@zandora and JesusDway Pls I got a mail from WES last night requesting my Law school transcripts..remember I was advised to not send it coz it doesn't really count? Pls how do I go about telling them to cancel the request for lawschool transcripts and just proceed with my LL.B transcripts sent by my uni?

primeson1:


Who interview you, Nigerian or Non-Nigerian?

Nigerian.

Solitin40:

like seriously how d u see that during my speaking text she was nodding her head nd covered a paper Whch i know was putting down points

It was just there on d table and I was seeing it. Don't know what it means tho

Solitin40:

I need 7

Pls was she scoring me while d interview was ongoing? Coz she wrote things like 7332-8333 6222-73333. What does it mean?

Congrats all

BTW I had my speaking test today. I was so nervous through d whole test, think I spoke too quickly now I'm really scared, tho she was nodding in agreement severally but I don't know what to make of d whole thing. Came and left like a thief in d night if u ask me

hartson:


Goodday,sent you a pm.please reply.thanks

I didn't see it..pls can you resend it? Thanks.

vcole:
This is still about NGN222.31 to CAD1.00 way higher than the official rate which should be in the 148s/150s. Really this March 1st NO banking day that is being organised should come quickly. our commercial banks need to stop ripping us off.

Walahi...they hv killed us.

zandora:


Didn't receive any email from you. Did you use your id Dhejy? Have you already paid for the WES and have been given an id? Ppl send me their certificates without paying WES which results in me not being able to send it to WES. Please if you are sending me your certificate to post for you make sure you've already paid WES then provide me with the WES id and address.

WES got my docs b4 I made payments or does this just apply to faxed docs?

yinx007:


oya start prepping.. the least you can score is 8777 to break the language score. start trying to get your wes in order too by having your transcripts sent own... what debit card did you use for payment

Tanx...Yes o..Insha Allah it'll happen. Btw I. Already sent my docs, they received it on Tuesday.
I paid with an Access bank visa (debit) card.

Dhejy:
Is WES fee 170-174?

It's 233.91 CAD, that's d USD equivalent.

Dhejy:
52k, that's relatively a good one. But what was the total value in dollars?

About 170-174 USD the rate keeps fluctuating. Might hv changed some more b4 I paid

Fortissimo:


Nice one. Abeg wat exchange rate does this translate to?

Nna I no know o...coz yesterday when Access' contact center got back to me they said it was 340 to 1USD and I'd pay 58k. I paid this afternoon and it was 52k so it sounds like a rate in the neighbourhood of N300-1USD to me.

Seems like I had an avalanche of good news today. I was finally able to pay WES and the best part is I was debited 52k
BC also sent my speaking test date.

chinchum:
They still do, i paid for WES with zenith debit card last week thursday, though i was charged an arm and a leg for the 322 CAD, 91,500naira to be precise.

Pls can you help put me through how u filled in d fields during payment?

Nna this thing is stressing me out...I've gotten 3diff. Exchange rates from Access bank and I wonder why! there's 275, 486 and 340...smh. I guess I'll know THE exchange rate when my transaction finally pulls through...could be either of them or a totally diff eye popping amt sef...chai there is God!
Infact lemme PM u.

Fortissimo:


Hahaha. Abi. Abeg cic better go with oanda. Naija official rate for GBP is less than N300. Access bank should go and sleep aabeg

Na so. I still can't understand Access Bank or infact any Nigerian bank.

Fortissimo:


Wow really? How do you think this affects the proof of funds requirement?

Depends sha coz on oanda it's less. Maybe CBN doesn't have an official rate for CAD Dunno sha...let's just say this is my attempt at finding an explanation

chinchum:
Commercial banks are not charging CBN rate ooo, it is at black market rate. 78k was initially debited from my account, and i was frowning, 2 days after when typically such transactions are ratified, it moved from 78 to 91.5, my frown turned to crying

Hehehehehe...this really cracked me up..but the reality isn't funny one bit

I just confirmed from Access bank that d official exchange rate for CAD is N275.15 - $1CAD.
Tell me about a real life horror movie

chinchum:
They still do, i paid for WES with zenith debit card last week thursday, though i was charged an arm and a leg for the 322 CAD, 91,500naira to be precise.

Hmmmm! Dts outrageous! Ninety-one gini? I hope they refund d excess o...did u try asking them why it cost that much? Aren't they supposed to use CBN's official rate?

lavivaavril:


Try paying with a Mastercard if u have one.

When are u taking your IELTS? Don't worry, it would be sent via email like a week before the test day. Speaking test date is mostly weekends

I don't have a functional mastercard. Zenith I heard no longer authorizes online payments with their cards(am yet to confirm tho)
My test date is 5th..well over 10days.
Thanks.

JesusDWay:


There's no separate test date for Listening, only for Speaking

Lol...u should hv known I ws talking abt speaking...haba!
Pls help me with answers if u can...this is all I see on my profile.

Pls am having difficulties paying for my WES Assesssment with my access bank visa card. It keeps saying they couldn't verify the info or something like that. Any help?

On d other hand BC hasn't sent my listening test date o....I checked my candidate's area and there isn't any update. Should I be worried?

hartson:

April 2.I didn't meet up with the March dates.Huh!!! speaking that is even the one I pay least attention to cos that is CLB 9 for sure.I taught you are in legal field so that won't be a problem.my previous attempt was CLB 9.there traps in all the modules and to spot them you need to be extra careful.for instance trap 1,the speaking examiner is looking at your travel passport to ascertain your indentity then ask your full name perhaps you have all three names written there i.e surname,first and middle name then you answer just your first & surname or vice versa you are caught in trap one.A friend made that terrible mistake that is why I highlight it incase you not aware.there other hidden holes you need to spot ooo!!!
Wish everyone that will sit in March success.You will come back here and testify to the house with snap shots.
Goodluck to all of you.

On a second thought I'm wondering why it should be a problem that you failed to mention one of your names.

And yes I'm a lawyer and am not scared of what to say per se...I guess it's anxiety...which ofcourse is a natural response to situations as this and am sure everyone has anxiety abt IELTS...the degree may vary tho.

Focus on your practice oooo!!! I believe you will be successful if only you determine to.Just take things cool.study at your own pace,always exercise and keep fit all day cos sometimes fatigue strike lots of candidates a day before or on the exam day thereby affecting their performance in the test.goodluck

Thanks hartson...those r very helpful tips. I'm doing a lot of practice atm...speaking terrifies me really. BTW did u finally register for 5th?

irondome:


Yeah, I realized that. It's the coverage that is the issue and not just the physical card.

You fall sick keee, no way, when the entire travel section of Nairaland are behind you "gidigba" with prayers. Talk something else jare.

Hehehe True...@Zandora we dey behind you with better prayers.
BTW IELTS is fast approaching...e be like say I dey get small panic attack...chai!!! Goddey!
