I give glory to God...Make una follow me thank him!!

Now let me not beat about the bush too much cos God has been too Good!

Timeline:

1st IELTS attempt;---June 24th LSRW 8,7,7.5 and 6.5( needed superior scores so i tried again)

2nd IELTS attempt;---August 3rd LSRW 8.5,7.5,9 and 7 (still needed superior scores badly to be sure..)

1st skill assessment - sometime in July--negative

(professional ICT content was their reason...i did not know i must package fully according ANZCO JD,i was using the JD i was given at work which didn't quite satisfy them.lol..so i came here and cried out.Some of you here know the story.I had to re strategize/re package with the help of great minds here.I faced alot of hurdles oh...but let me not bore you cos of time)

2nd assessment(review) - sent on 7th sept---got a positive outcome by oct 18th (with one CO contact)

Somethings happened of course like gathering extra docs for review etc..no need to yarn that part..aluta continua

preparation for PTE started oh...I used E2 language my people..Jay is a genius..i wasn't quite understanding the Indian lady cos of her accent.I read alot too so that was no problem but i did more academic reading from websites like sciencedaily etc..looked through PTE academic collocation list when bored..tried to make my kids read to me like broadcasters so i will have opportunity to correct them,before MR will think ayam mad #agbayamummy

Anyways..
7th Nov--PTE Taken
8th Nov--Mail on results confirmation don show(coldsweat)...I got 85 in listening and 90 in the rest (
so i gave a shout to my padi @alphadoor, zoew etc

(20 points mi ti pe ..I updated my EOI sharply, withdrew the 190 for Vic and the seperate EOI for Tasmania(dont ask me why i had up to 3 EOI cos the hustle was real)...anyway i left NSW cos it was too busy at work for me, will do that later.

Same 8th Nov---went for lunch got back and there was my ITA sitting nicely in my email

Had to sit still for a minute cos my heart was about bursting through my chest.hahaha...i expected it soon but whaaat!....less than 24hrs?...it just has to be God


I want to salute @bellong for starting this thread...its been informative,insightful,funny...hahahaha....@alphadoor and zoew...una too much in a too much way o...they encouraged me so much..make una chop laptop kiss



The real journey begins...


Please guys hold on!...if you need superior scores please do not be discouraged..try again.It will be worth it in the end

Let me stop waxing poetic jor..i know some people are already tired and sleepy from this epistle of mine.

Love you all for reading!

It all depends on how fast you want it to be. It's very possible as so many engineers go through that route. It's perhaps the cheapest and easiest way to get into the country. Just get the necessary documents and submit an EOI ASAP.

If you can submit an EOI, get invited and submit an application before the 18 months visa expires, you'll automatically be granted a bridging visa pending the outcome of your application.

Cheers.

practise speaking tests with a your phone voice recorder or any other app so you can hear yourself.we can all speak English but it's good to hear yourself to know what needs to be improved on...try not to hesitate alot I guess the computer programming marks you low on oral fluency for that...dont correct yourself even when you make minor grammatical mistakes,guess there's room for that too(just be concious not to make too many)speak at a steady pace from begining till speaking task ends(dont be too hasty cos of tension ..broadcasters pace and rhythm(i didnt say phonetics o!)look at the recorder so that you can avoid false starts..always conclude in your describe image tasks before time is up....
for reading time mgt is key..i noticed alot of the less difficult questions were at the end and there's where u can easily score bonus points...i missed the last question cos I was out of time..rushed tru the last 4..
get familiar with pte academic collocation words on Pearson website..download into you phone and make it your boredom buster...improve your grammar by reading more too...anything...try ScienceDaily.com ...thats from my own personal experience she.others have shared theirs

use e2language on YouTube...the young man knows what he's talking about..the Indian lady (navjot or so)is okay too but her accent may make it difficult to follow her videos(I had headache cos of that n have up on her materials,but some say she's good)

I will post more when I can..on the move now...good luck and God's Grace!
