@Bolded. Completely untrue and just your assumption. I partially agreed and even derailed in the course of my essay (check my previous posts after my exam), but i scored 7 at first attempt. Most sites will tell you that tackling both sides of the question shows you are knowledgeable about the topic, gives you more points, and vocabulary. More over, partial agreement is a valid opinion just like agree or disagree.

Good morning all, please can anyone give me a date in Q-life to do my medicals in December ? Family of 4.

I am tired! It seems the only option is to give up right now. Firstly, i started by applying to Canadian schools but I was frustrated and never got admission from the four schools I applied to.

Then, I was advised on the canadian student visa thread to focus on express entry since I have the educational requirements and minimum work experience and I took that advise. I have written IELTS general six times in the last nine months and I am stuck at writing 6.5.

The only time I got a 7 in writing, i got a 7.5 in listening, which happens to be my only listening score less than 8. I have spent my salary and savings registering for ielts and ielts lectures since I began this process and yet no head way.

I have even completed WES evaluation because I was hopeful this will work out.

The last ielts I wrote November 10th, i was quite hopeful but came out the same way. Now I can't even register even if i want to.

I put so much efforts, sacrificed my welfare and I really don't know if i can push on anymore.

It seems this doesn't work for everybody. Best of luck to everyone on this thread. It shall end in praise for you all.

My remark center will be BC Abuja . Are there success stories there. Anyone with testimonies of successful remark there?

Sometimes I wonder why people have issues with writing.Writing was the simplest to me..first attempt 8.0 while listening was the hardest, because if you don't hear, there is absolutely nothing you can do..

It is not about what you think, look for the best approach to write a good essay, and one of the easiest way is to fully agree or fully disagree, when you partially agree it is extreemly difficult to state your point.
When writing examples many people use personal examples because the question said from your experience.we need to be smart about things if you want to pass ielts.. use a research or study you read, it is simple and easy to validate your points.when you use personal examples you mess up the whole essay
The few I can think of

Hello Guys, I’d really like a contact at the waec office in Lagos. My husband needs to get his waec result/Certificate. He lost his copy and he’s been to his secondary school to get a copy but the school says they have no records before 2004(he wrote his in 1997). You can imagine the frustration! The University is saying the same thing. We would really appreciate it if someone could give us a reliable contact in waec to help sort this out. Thank you

Go to ieltsadvantage, liz, etc.

It is not the relevance of your ideas that matter. You dont have all the time in the world and it is not a competition of best ideas. If you use 10mins in thinking of relevant ideas, i doubt if you would have time to finish the essay. Moreover, task response is a 9 out of a possible 36 points. If you get 6 in task response, and get 7-8 in others, you will score above 7.

Provided your idea relates to the topic and you can fashion it well to be relevant in presentation, cohesion, coherence, vocab and lexicon, you are good.

Above all, pray and believe in God.

If you took your time to read the whole post not just one section you wouldn't type this.you got 7 probably you good in grammar vocabulary and probably coherence but scored a 6 in task achievement..Most people me inclusive are not that good in grammar, task achievement is the easiest to score 9 to bring your overall score to a 7.but if you advise people to derail in their essay writing when they are struggling with grammar and the rest it would be a disaster..They are many ways to pass writing, so this is not cast in stone.but use an approach that would make it easy for you to pass, that is what I am preaching

freshdad:
I wouldn't say it is completely untrue because even the tutors (chris Pell and Liz) always emphasize on the fact that if you cannot adequately address the partial agree or disagree then just stick to one side to save yourself any trouble.

While you may be good with identifying the perfect response in the said situation, other may not be that coherent. That been said, you guys are both right

Anyone know the process for the remarking? Do I have to leave ilorin for Abuja to submit the remark request? Or i can do it all from ilorin here ?

Listening-8.5
Speaking -8.5
Reading- 7
Writing -6.5

wasseynewest:
Dear Jasmine, all this ur maths calculations are not required here 'cos I believe many takers are aware of this. & let me correct u that outta the 40mins for task 2, it is possible to brainstorm on relevant ideas for 15mins and still complete task2 conveniently in 25mins. In as much as tenses structure and grammatical usage also combined to aggregate a good score, there is no way you can put them into good use without a relevant IDEA. Ur good idea(points to write on) of the topic will make u express urself freely and more conveniently in no time. I want to believe we've both successfully aced IELTS writing and so d debate shld be how to counsel others to be a success. Since we're on a open floor, let our dear readers just use an approach they are convenient with. Finally, none of this ur references(ieltsadv.,liz, jay etc) failed to stress d importance of relevant idea in their tutorials b'cos it is the foundation & insight to whatever you will write.
Let any1 among those I have sent the Liz videos openly counter me on this.
All the best to our upcoming IELTS takers.
