Wow..congrats to all ITA clinchers. Please how do these guys send the mails out. My CRS is 476. I haven't yet gotten the ITA mail. Profile transmitted July 9th.

Good to know you have sent them a mail. I look forward to hearing about your further dealings on this matter. All the best bro..it will end in praise.

Edmontonlad:



Crs is 469..
I already sent them a mail. Waiting for their response. Will update if anything changes.

Thank you guys.

I think you are doing fine and you should be able to get at least an 8.5 in listening and reading. Personally, I think the Cambridge prep test looks more like the real exam than the ieltsonline. However the exam itself can be funny at times. Strange maps or labelling of machine parts that will even make the ieltsonline look easy. Now that you have prepared well, pray for luck. All the best

Having done my ECA, I'm about to write IELTS in August. I've been practising with ieltsonlinetests.com and it seems a little bit tough though my score are between 35 and 37 for listening and reading. Recently, I started using Cambridge and I've maintained 38 in both components. Which one is closer to real test because it seems Cambridge is easier for me. I've been using Jay and Alex for speaking and Liz for writing. Any other suggestion please ?

For this case, I would ask, what is the PA's CRS score now. If it is considerably lower than 470. Say 450s or mid 460s, then the 1500 cad may be worth the risk. Their fate will be in the hand of the VO. They can only be hopeful. Except we have clear cases of people who have been rejected here because of that drawback, otherwise, I say proceed if CRS score isn't comfortably sitting in the 470s.

lasignor:
One of the 'two or more degrees' has to be a Bachelors degree. That's OINP requirement. They won't accept a diploma of even 3years. I won't advise you to proceed because if they reject your application, you will not get your 1500CAD application fee back.

Wow...Big Congrats Pyad. When I saw your initial result, I knew it was impossible for you to get a 6.5 in writing. I am happy your beautiful result became yours eventually. I wish you the best on the rest of your journey.

Pyad:


Hello everyone, I received the outcome of my EOR on Thursday and my Writing has increased to 7.5. I applied for EOR a few hours after I s This exam was also my first attempt.

Hahahaha..na so oo...nowadays, people need to consider deliberately falling in love to help their Canada dream..They just have to make sure the person will be able to help their Canada waka..

oginnite:




That falling in love aspect got me laughing. In fact bro, you are officially naughty

I think your best option is to go learn French and take the TEF exam. At this point, age is not on your side and CRS scores may not come lower than 470 anytime soon. French can add 42 points if you pass..however, it is not a walk in the park. If you are married, and your wife is younger, then she may be better of being the PA. If you aren't married, you can consider falling in love and marrying someone that has a Masters and aged between 25-28 who is also interested in moving to Canada. I wish you all the best.

Stevewonder:
Please @all,

I will be at 454 if I bag my masters next year and I ace IELTS. I don't think that will be enough with the way CRS score is going up these days...

In another development, if I quickly do one short course and ace IELTS now that I am 33, my CRS score will be 452 which is just 2 points lesser than waiting to complete Masters degree next year. Is 2 points worth the stress & time to complete Masters ?

What do you think I should do now ? Should I register for BCS if it's still possible, write IELTS and dive into the pool or I should kuku wait for masters next year?

Thanks @all

When will they start give out PPRs again. Mehn, I miss all the PPR gist. Hopefully, there will be great testimonies soon. Me waiting for ITA tomorrow.. Amen

Well-done everyone.

PM me

FarmGang:
Does anyone here have any contact at University of Ibadan transcript office (Post graduate)? I'll appreciate.

If your ECA is not done with your evaluation number imputed, or your IELTS is not done with TRN number imputed, then you will be ineligible. Make sure you inputed your numbers. If you did this, then I can't see why you will be ineligible. Maybe you will need to close that profile and start again.

profeddor15:
Good morning house, please i seriously need your help and support.
I created an express entry profile and upon completion and submission of the profile, the outcome was "you're ineligible
Looking forward to your positive response

I had to rewrite all 4 sections. It took them about 12 days to give me the final feedback offering me a free test. I was asked to pick any test dates between June 13th and September 12th and I picked June 13th. I had just one day to prepare because I received the mail June 11th. I eventually passed that free test and I thank God I got the free offer because I got a 7.5 in the previous Reading section, and got an 8 in the free test. So it all worked for my good. I wish you all the best.

firpemi:
Thank you. I will send an email once I don't get feedback by Wednesday from the organizers.
Did you rewrite just the affected test or the 4? Also, how long did it take to get a response from IDP

Wow..it's clear that the first two draws they do will be close to the mid 470s. After that point, I believe draws will drop to the late 460s. I really hope guys with CRS in the 460s..

Mamaroon:
COVID has not stopped people from entering the pool.....March versus June CRS breakdown....See 481-490 & 471-489

-Max out on IELTS
-Get a second degree/Masters
-Learn French

No dulling....keep hustling...keep praying and preparing.

Happy Sunday

Pele...I feel your pain as I recently experienced something close. I got a free test after I was advice by ednut1 to send a mail to IDP Australia. Please send a mail to both Australia and MOD guys in Nigeria. I wish you all the best.

firpemi:
I had my IELTS GT (IDP) test yesterday. During the listening test, my headset was not clear. It sounded like a radio not in its proper frequency.
I complained during the exam and the headset was replaced with a functioning one though it was in Section 4.
I filled the complaints form immediately after the exam. Anyone here experienced such and share the outcome from the organizers.
After the exam, I learned 2 people complained about the screeching during the listening test. I hope their CCTV is functioning, from the footage they will realize I raised my hand severally but I did not get the attention of the invigilator until we had eye contact and this was towards the end of section 3.
I am pained. I hope I get a positive response from them. o dun mi gan mi oo.

Hi guys,

Good day..Please can anyone help me with my question.

Thanks

crespo67:
Hello guys, is there anyone here working as an energy manager?

Also, what salary should I aim for if I live in Toronto, and my wife schools full time?

And we live in a 2 bed apartment.

I would really like to have a realistic expectation.

Thanks

Lolzzz..I feel you..IELTS is the humbler of men. Like I say again to people, after all the serious preparation, pray for luck..the outcome of the exam has a lot to do with luck. Even in speaking, luck plays a role..if you meet a speaking examiner that leads you on well, you will have a good time answering their questions and score well..if you meet a straight faced examiner that doesn't ask many connecting questions and doesn't lead you well, you wouldn't talk much and it would affect your score. Ultimately, it's to prepare very well, and pray for favour with the exam.

Neam9:
Walahi I was just about to type same thing. It was too hard, especially the part 3 and 4.I had band 8.5 when i wrote last year, only for me to get band 7.5 now. And i was making mouth telling people that ielts reading was a walkover. They embarrassed me. Lol. Atleast I got band 9 in the listening so that made me happy.

Great..Please try Alex too..look for a video on her ultimate tips for reading(I can't exactly remember the title of that video). But that video completely changed my approach to the reading section. Honestly, I think reading still remains the easiest part of that exam. In reading, you can get a 9(40/40) without too much stress.. For listening, keep practicing the ieltsonline test and Cambridge. Practice difficult map questions, practice multiple choice questions(those with 3 options) with very long worded answer options. Also practice questions multiple choice where they have like 8 options. I think those are the hardest kind of questions in the listening section. All the best

Teemez:
Thanks, my highest score is 35 and sometimes 32 on www.ieltsonlinetest.com. I guess I still have alot to cover, though I have been using Jay and Liz, I think I should try Alex as well

Big Congrats...Way to go...Maxing out IELTS is a sweet thing..All the best on the rest of your journey.

Nacho4:
Guys, maybe this can encourage someone. Got my ielts test result today. Aced it in first sitting. Thanks to God and him alone.

MOD Idp. Paper based
Test date 13/06/2020
Yaba, Lagos

Listening 8.5
Reading. 8.5
Writing 7.5
Speaking 8

I initially booked for same test date (13/06) on the 23rd of May. I was hoping to pay that week but for one or two reasons I couldn't. Well, I thought like BC do (or used to do) they will cancel the booking after 5days if payment wasn't made.

So on the 6th of June I booked again. This time for 20th. I paid same day, only for me to get an email the following day (7th) confirming my initial booking for 13th. I went "wtf!!!. I re-booked and paid for 20th, my 13th booking shoulda expired!!...I haven't read shit...help!!...lmao".

Well, thanks to prayers, Liz's and Jay's youtube videos for speaking and writing, I maxed it. I practised listening and reading using some cambridge sample abi na past questions wey de get volume 1 to 14. I did the 5 most recent volumes though.

To anyone about to write, it's possible to do it in one sitting. The exam is technical not difficult. There are strategies. Find them, follow them.

Thanks

ExpressEntry:


Congrats!!!

Well, I took that advice when I had a 7.5 in listening and rewrote the exam. But someone on this thread has had reading score changed from 6.5 to 7. It means that the reading and listening can also be a bit subjective.

ShoeShineGuy:
Just like that o my dear sis! I'm pretty sure those who IELTS gulped almost 1million (or even more) from them will be shaking their heads right now at all these. Lol.. Seriously, please brace up and refire. I will never advise you to remark R and L. If you won't mind sharing the scores in the other modules, please do.
All will be well.

That May 30th reading was hard. It was probably the hardest I had done even during my practice. Luck is a big factor in this exam.

Toludebs:


Just like your sibling, I had a 6 in Reading. I was so sure I did everything right, wrote that same May 30th. I will just brace myself yo write it again instead of paying for a remark. I am still pained sha. 73k just like that.

Hello guys, is there anyone here working as an energy manager?

Hi Teemez..I mostly scored between 33-38 in the listening test. I was discouraged when I scored 33, but I encouraged myself. I think generally, the speakers speak faster on ieltsonline than they do in Cambridge. Look out for listening test where the speakers talk very fast. Look for maps, look for multiple choice questions with long sentences in the options. For me, those are the toughest areas to overcome. Section 1&4 are typically always a breeze through. As for reading, I have always been pretty confident. I learnt a method of answering the questions from Alex,(Alex&Jay on Youtube). I read each paragraph, and then look through all the questions to find any question relating to the paragraph I just read, then I move on to the next paragraph. With that, I was always able to have ample time to revise my answers at the end. quote author=Teemez post=91103290]Good evening bro
Please what was your best score in Listening and Reading when practicing with ieltsonlinetest.com? Your response will be highly appreciated. My Exam is next month. [/quote]

Thanks so much Prisscindy. Thanks for your encouragement when I came here sobbing about my listening test experience in my previous test. Indeed, this thread is blessed with a lot of kind and helpful people. May we all get to our desired destinations. Amen.

Prisscindy:


Congratulations, I'm so happy for you.

There is a lesson from this; our voices could be heard, if we try we may win, if we don't try we have lost.

That's what it is called on their site. Though I don't think they are actual real test..but they seem kinda tougher than Cambridge practice test.

ladykilllar:


Crespo how is the real test (listening & reading) compared to the practice tests we use? Is the real test tougher or how's it generally. I know experiences might differ but i Just want to get a feedback. Thanks

My apologies on missing the gender. All the best.

Mo2020:


Thank you. I’m female though

Not true..you can pay one week to the exam. Even days to the exam.

Gifty28:
Hey guys! Is it true that someone has to pay for Ielts exam a month before time??

Also, congrats on landing ooo....reading your canny waka story has been really inspiring...some crazy resilience . Thanks for all the support you give us here..we go soon join you for that side by God's Grace. May Canny favour you indeed....

ednut1:
so make we share the money into two na . Send my share

Na so ooo...but na CAD we go share, nor be Naira... Thanks so so much bro...I am very very grateful...

ednut1:
so make we share the money into two na . Send my share

Bro..I was in your shoes some months ago..I maxed out the other areas and I had a 7.5 in listening. The advice I got on this thread and outside was not to bother remarking listening. That listeming and reading often come back unchanged. It pained me, but I summed up courage and wrote it again. Be encouraged bro..it's not easy to gather the emotional strenght to rewrite that exam, but that may be your best choice now. Also, you will have another chance of maxing out the other areas. I recently went back to part 4 and saw a testimony of someone whose reading score changed when he remarked, so who knows, you can give remark a shot since it's 15k now. I wish you better luck next time.

Mo2020:
Good day House,
My IELTS result is out and it wasn’t as i prayed for. I had L,R,W,S- 7.5, 7, 7, 7.5
Is it advisable i apply for a remark please?
Can it happen my listening be upgraded from 8 from 7.5 if i apply for a remark?
The trauma of going through the test process again scares me. Please advise me on what to do...

Thanks so much bro...na so ooo..ednut1 is the real G. If not for him, na so my 73k for enter voicemail..lolzzz..

MayorOfEdmonton:
Congratulations @crespo. I'm happy for u.
You dey owe @ednut1 booze when u touch down Canada
All the best thru the rest of the process

Thanks so much Sammydizzle, I appreciate..

Sammydizzle:
Way to go! Congrats!

Thanks.. Well, the one I eventually passed, I prepared for it in one day, although I had prepared for and written the previous one less than two weeks prior to that time.I would say do your best, practice with Cambridge and https://ieltsonlinetests.com do the recent actual test for reading and listening. I think their listening are quite fast so it will train you to listen closer. For writing, you can contact Johnnybravo or Blissneye or Wasseynet or any of the verified writing tutors here. Some have a fee, others do for the love of God. In all, its not the length of time you take to practice. It's really about training your ears to listen attentively. I must tell you, luck is a big factor in passing this exam so pray you are lucky. All the best.

FarmGang:

Nice one. How long did it take you to prepare for this? I plan writing mine next month.
