General training practice all the questions under an exam condition and be strict with your self marking . Also progress to the master section. I got LRWS 8.5,8.5,7.5,8 in the real test (British council computer based) . I used this site for just reading and listening . I’m sure it would have prepared me for band 8.5 in writing and speaking if I had practiced it

Create an account on the site. Then login with your account credentials before starting the practice . Preferably use google chrome .

Lastly if it’s within your power kindly speed up with your practice and test so you can enter the pool. Things are changing rapidly and unpredictably

If you are an international student who wish to know everything about consolidating student loans; especially when to consolidate your loans, meaning of student loans consolidation etc, you are on the right page, grab a cup of coffee, sit tight and engage your mind. I bet you won't waste your time.

When Should I Consolidate My Student Loans?

If you have a large amount of debt, loan consolidation may be your answer. Find out what it means to consolidate a loan, the risks and rewards involved in it, the different types of student loan consolidation and how to apply for each.

What Does Student Loans Consolidation Mean?

Loan consolidation means using one larger loan to pay off several small loans, usually to get a lower interest rate or lower monthly repayment amount.

Kinds of Loan Consolidations

The two types of loan consolidation are secured and unsecured.

A secured loan requires some sort of collateral, such as your home, while an unsecured loan requires no collateral but are harder to get. You’ll typically need a high credit score to get an unsecured loan. That’s why loan consolidation can be risky. But it still may be the right option for you.

Can I Consolidate Other Types of Loans?

You can also consolidate your credit cards, your car loans or signature loans. You will just need to take out a larger loan and use that money to pay off your other debts. Before you consolidate credit card loans, car loans, or any other type of private loans, be sure that you will actually end up saving money in the long run.

Many banks will specialize in consolidation loans, and you may get loan offers in the mail that offer consolidation loans at low rates. If you receive these, read the fine print and look for reviews online since many of the interest rates are ranges, not guarantees. You should also research the company before signing on the dotted line.

What Are the Risks of Loans Consolidation?

A few things to keep in mind before you consolidate your loans. First, know the difference between an unsecured loan and a secured loan. The latter is riskier because it is tied to a larger asset, (like your car or home), so you risk losing that property if you default on the loan.

Second, you should always consider the lower monthly payment of a potential loan consolidation versus the interest rate. Be sure that loan consolidation is the most financially beneficial option for you, and don’t just do it because it’s easier to have only one big payment a month.

There’s also the risk that loan consolidation won’t actually help you get out of debt. Loan consolidation will often free up a little bit of extra income, and pay off some credit card balances. However, this does not mean that you should continue to spend money at the same rate that you were previous to the consolidation. It’s important to look at your financial behaviors carefully before you take this step.

What Are the Benefits of Loans Consolidation?

Many people especially international students consider doing loan consolidation because it allows them to lock in the loans at a lower interest rate and gives them a set payment. It is important to consider how much lower the interest rate is and whether or not it is a permanent rate before you take this step.

While loan consolidation can be a smart move, it’s only beneficial long-term if you stop using your credit cards or change your habits so you do not continue to run up debt. You also need to choose a good consolidation loan with solid terms and a set interest rate.

Will Loans Consolidation Fix My Debt Problems?

Most importantly, loan consolidation does not address the spending habits that got you into debt into the first place. It is important to address those problems and stick to a budget in order to change your financial situation, whether you decide to pursue a loan consolidation or not.

You need to address the real issues in your spending habits in order to get ahead financially. The first step is to get on a budget so that you can stop overspending. Only then will you be able to start working toward your financial goals.

Types of Student Loans Consolidation

We have two types of student loan consolidation; Federal and Private. Private consolidation is often referred to as refinancing. The two are different from each other in the following ways;

Federal student loan consolidation combines multiple federal loans into a single federal loan through the Department of Education. You may need to consolidate to be eligible for some federal loan repayment programs, but federal consolidation won’t lower your interest rate. It may lower your payments by extending them.

Student loan refinancing, which is also called private student loan consolidation, is a financial move you do through a private lender. If you qualify, you can save money by getting a lower interest rate.

Oh! At last. How sufficient is the time for the listening part per section? I am asking because during practice I write my answer on paper and type it to the computer after each section. So I just want to know if I will have that luxury of time do that on the real test.


Thank you.

You will barely have 1 or 2 minutes. Practice by directly answering on the computer because in the CBT test you’ll need to answer directly on the system. 2 minutes will not be enough to even transfer 15 questions to the computer.

Yes but there is very little time for that (just about two minutes at the end of the test). For the reading learn the tricks as the marking for reading is very strict. Thus aim to get every question right as 39/40 bring your score down to 8.5 and 38/40 brings score down to 8.0

All the best .

Mine was with a lady with a British accent, I had no problems communicating with her though. Just be prepared for the possibility of conversing with someone that has a foreign (British, American or Australian) accent. Speak naturally though, there's no need to fake an accent, focus on communicating clearly, all the best.
