Pls i'll like to ask, during the reading session, will one be allowed to read out to himself a little?. i realised i understand and read faster when i read out than when i read in my mind.

Would that be allowed? Especially in Computer based tests?

Won't reading a "little to yourself" be a distraction to others? In my opinion your question is rhetorical sir.

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.

Will I be able to check answers from my previous section for the listening part?

Computer based

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.

Hello, good evening. Did you take the computer based IELTS? I'm sorry if my question sounds invasive in any kind of way. I just need clarifications on the listening part.

Hello everyone, I intend on taking ILET nxt yr. I want to find out btw the cbt and paper test which is easier to pass?

Hello, it depends on what you mean by easier. Both forms of the tests are the same thing. One difference is that you will write down your answers in one and you will type your answer in the other. Another difference is in the writing section. If you are used to typing, then you would not find it difficult as you should be able to type 150 words and 250 words in 20minutes and 40minutes respectively. In a paper based test you might find it difficult to meet up with time and you will have to do a manual verification of your wordcount.

Regards,

Hi everyone,
Please I have a few questions.
1. Will writing materials i.e pencils, pens, erasers, be provided at the center or will I have to use mine?
2. Pens or pencils, which are used for the listening, writing and reading sections.
3. Should I be expecting a mail with my time and date after receiving the confirmation of registration email?
4. How many days will it take before the results are released? Online and when will I get the hard copy?
Thanks everyone.

I do not have the answer to all your question but I can answer most of them.
1. According to the IDP website you will be provided with required materials for the test.
2. For the paper based test, answers are to be written with a pencil.
3. I'm sorry I do not have an answer for this, kindly read through the thread for more details.
4. For the computer based tests, it takes a period of 3-5 days to get your results. And for the paper based test, it takes about 13-14days to get your results. Furthermore, a Test Report Format popularly known as the TRF will be sent to you. I am not certain if it will be sent online or offline.

Regards,

Hello everyone, Good afternoon. Please I need someone that wrote the computer based IELTS to guide me through how the listening section really is. I am asking because I write my answer in a paper during practice and then transfer my answers to the computer after each section. So please I need to know if I will have that luxury of time during the exam to do this, because listening and typing my answer at the same time can be distracting.

Thank you,

Pls which IELTS training center do you recommend for someone staying in Victoria Island Lagos. I need a very good training center.

Also I will like to ask if I need to have my passport before registering for IELTS

. Hello, good evening. You don't need to have your international passport before registering for the IELTS. However, you need to present your international passport at your exam venue as a means of identification on your preferred exam day.

Goodevening y'all.

Please, while applying for Visa; am I the one that would send the transcript or the school I attended?

Urgent reply please.

Just like someone posted this morning, you do not need to submit your transcript for visa processing you only need to do so at the point of your application for admission. However you might need your transcript for your visa processing only if you need to explain some certain things about your study plan to the VO e.g to justify the unfamiliarity between your 1st degree course and your PGD/MSc proposed course. If this is the case then I think it is safe to submit your student copy of the transcript for the visa application.

Another clause there is you can't apply if you have taken the test before, .... I know KPMG by that, not sure of Delloite... This is looking different. Correct me if I am wrong though.

On deloitte application page under the requirements to apply it was stated that one should not apply if you have taken the aptitude test before.

Thanks a lot for the response. I guess the school is not all that from your response. I just wish I could hear some more positives about the school from fellow Nairalanders.

Hello ma'am,do you know you can check google for all these questions and reservations you have about this school? You can check google or the school website for news paper publications about the school. You can also use google to find out about the school's rating, You can also use google to check for other likeable conversations about the school on other similar platforms as nairaland. From this things you will see on google you will be able to have either a positive or negative narrative about the school.

Are you saying 3.74 does not qualify me to study in any school for masters?

Have tried googling about schools and their admission requirement?? Most canadian schools accept a 2.1 for masters degree, all you have to do is research these things yourself and get the answers you want directly from a reliable source ( The school's website or an email from the admission office). Don't let anyone demoralize you with unverified and invalid information when you can actually google and get the right information.

Thank you very much for this Dami. I've actually seen lots of schools with courses in Hrm. I was just scared it might pose as a red flag to the visa officer.

You're welcome. It would not pose a red flag if you do your research and read on relationships between the two courses. Good luck

Thank you so much, I really appreciate. Truth is I've been searching, but I've not seen any school with pgd in sociology. What about Human Resources Management?

Human resource management is deeply connected with sociology, because the main responsibility of the Human Resources Manager lies in finding a personal approach to each employee, creating a friendly social environment in relations between workers and management, encouraging workers to do their best and managing the company. So you can consider a PGD in HRM too. All you need to do is a lot of research on schools that offers this course and check for their admission requirements.
