Can't you avoid WES?

phemmy26:



Done. Replied you.

phemmy26:
Hello...please i need your guidance...Wes just sent an email and also updated my profile saying the WAEC was not accepted

WAEC: Not Accepted | Details

Reason: WES received your document, but it was not sent directly from your academic institution. WES requires your institution to send academic documents directly to WES.

Instructions: Please ask your academic institution to send your document to WES in a sealed envelope that is signed or stamped across the back flap by the appropriate official. If you have already contacted your institution, no action is necessary at this time.


Please what do i need to do.

mrstender:

You know sometimes I think we try too hard for my answer I wrote 22/7/1985( standard way to fill Dob on any form). I came across a question like this during my practice n that was the way the answer was written. I just adopted that straight. As for reading try e2language with Jay. He breaks it down really good, had 5.5 in my first test n 7.5 now.
Pls relax n practice e no easy but we no get choice. Kindly accept my 2cents.
Regards.

Your post called out to me. I thought this may be useful for you. The following links are some materials i used during my IELTS test and they were most helpful. I also had problems with the Y/N and matching question and i remember calling a friend (who had passed ielts) repeatedly and complaining bitterly. I always had very low scores there while i was practicing. I had issues too with the matching headlines until i watched the video of this lady Darian Sandmartin . And the whole thing was demystified for me. Please be calm and go through this links and others which may help you. Also, give yourself sometime to prepare. Practice and practice again. It is well with you.

Something also helped me though some people may not agree with it. I practiced with Academic test, I did this partly in ignorance for sometime before i realized I was working with academic instead of General test! The end result was that i mastered the harder tests (for months) and by the time i was doing my mop up reading on general test (this was about 2 weeks to the IELTS exam) it was like a walk in the park. Please do remember this took about 3 months for me so i had some time to play with.

I am not asking anyone to do this as my technique may not be what will work for you but this was something that seemed to work for me and it definitely helped me with the reading test.

For those struggling with the speaking test, the JAM technique was most helpful for me. Till date, i can still speak about irrelevant (lolz) things and stretch the speaking time due to JAM technique. See link below

My brother, me I believe that all you have is performance anxiety. But then again, I could be wrong. I'm surely not the sort to say for sure, cos thanks to God, I have always aced English tests. One thing that did help me while taking my test though, was complete concentration on the recording. I always closed my eyes and wrote down the first answer that came to mind without over thinking. I am sure I missed some, but almost all the time, my answer was right because i have carefully followed every word. Got 9 in three consecutive IELTS listening tests working this way, so it's no fluke. From your practice scores, it sounds to me like you have it in you. Just be calm, concentrate and trust yourself.

wholesomegrace:




I don't really know what to advice here but I think you shd use strategies discussed in ielts buddy and liz. The strategies there was what I used in my practice at 3rd attempt and although I never got past 37 in practice tests, I got a surprising band 9 in the actual listening test.
I also wrote in caps for the first time in reading and listening and scored higher than the first 2. Check out these websites if you have not been using them before.
On the tenses, try and pay more attention during listening. I don't think you should keep on changing the answers later, you might get it all muddled up. However the tenses you use should be appropriate for the sentence. All the best as you prepare for the next one

Fuzzyman:


Im sorry about you result, I am not an expert but i can offer some advice.

- Write exactly what you hear , (the tense you hear) do not change what you wrote first time, trust your ears.
- Follow all instructions ( twenty-second 7th 1985 is wrong IMO the instruction says[b] two words AND OR number[/b]. )
- Are you using band 8 materials? Test yourself with the hardest practice tests in Listening and Reading i.e https://ieltsonlinetests.com/

Finally RELAX, you got this

I used the link for mine and i found the test easier than my practice where i averaged 35.

Wishing you all the best

Hello,

I understand how you feel and i'm sorry you had this experience.

1.For listening i wrote all my answers in CAPS too and i had 8.5 so that is not the problem
2. I did that too.
3. I just wrote 'July 1985' I think the instruction was 'one word and/or a number' some people said it was '2 words and a number' and they wrote 22nd July 1985 but to me '22nd' is also a number(dunno sha) so that would have been 2 numbers at least.

The reading was very tricky i remember feeling like i was going to fail it, I couldn't even predict my score after the test.

I don't even know what advise to give you. But i know if you take your time again, practice again and Please PRAY!!!! you will do well,cos its not an IQ test. The most intelligent doctor i know is rewriting it also, so please don't beat yourself up about it. E dey happen. All the best.

Canadianfly:


The answer is 22nd July 1985. That twenty-second you wrote has passed two words. Don't over think the answers, coz if you do, you'll not get it right.

My advice is when you do your practice tests, identify the sections you fail mostly, for me it was the matching section. So I figured I'll just write out everything the audio was saying in my question paper, then when I had 10 mins to transfer my answers...I read through what I had written and took my time to match it with the questions.
My point is you need a strategy to beat your weak point.
For T/F/NG the easiest way to understand it is:
Truth is the statement is in the passage
False is the statement is in the passage but not as the question. E.g. The passage says "the shirts are all white and long sleeves". The question is "all the shirts are short sleeved and white". This is false....
Not Given is when the statement cannot be found in the passage. Using the e.g above, Not Given is "the red and blue shirts are also long sleeves". This is not in passage so it's not given. But can be mistaken as False.

Like I said before IELTS na just trick test. But you shall overcome.

Matanna:


Thanks I appreciate the suggestions. Did you get anyone to help facilitate the verification after online payment, or should I just pay and hope it will be dealt with swiftly.

mcstan18:


Chai!! I'm also doing my UNN iTranscript o. In my opinion, contact the exams and records officer that processed the transcript to ask for assistance else you want to pay an additional 15k for local delivery student's copy. I have a friend (my classmate working in school) that I can ask to make enquiries on your behalf from the person doing mine. Who knows, she might be of help but then, our (hubby's) details might be needed if you don't mind.

On another note, please how long did it take for
1. UNN to send your transcript to WES?Paid 19th got dispatch notification to WES on the 25th (5 working days). Transcript got delivered to WES six days later (total approx 13 days)
2. For WES to evaluate and send back for verification? This took eight days in my own case.

How much does one have to pay for the iVerification? 10K

Matanna:
Hello all. Pls I'm applying online for hubby' s unn iverification. The problem here is after filling all the requested info,I can't proceed to payment except i upload the transcript to be verified, which obviously is with wes.pls who has experienced this and what was the solution.Thanks
