Hi,

# For Issue Essay

# For Argument Essay


https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OFa8oeXXuoA


These 2 videos earned me 4.0 in AWA and I'll recommend it for anyone.

What did I did after watching the videos?

After learning the techniques explained in the aforementioned weblinks, I modeled my test-day essay topics along side the techniques. Additionally, you can read through sample essays in ETS guide to bolster your Analytical Writing Skills

Goodluck!

I did that last Wednesday but they told me my passport wasn't ready
I'll wait till Wednesday again and if I don't get anything, I'll go again
Alright. It's better that way. If you don't get a positive reply, summon courage and visit the Embassy. Who knows?…something might just happen. But I'm positive your passport should be at the VAC by Wednesday.

Biometrics since 23rd August, and they said a decision has been made since 12th September.
Hello. Any news yet? I read from an Immigration forum about visiting the British Embassy in the country since passports are dispatched to the VACs from there. In this case, the applicant visited the Embassy in Abuja because he applied there and the result was positive after two hours. You could give it a try.

Whoa! If you live in Lagos, maybe you should visit the VAC to check. I'm still waiting, did biometrics on Aug 30.
What is happening really? I don't understand. Priority service users receive theirs immediately the decision is made, so why should it be different for standard service? I'm beginning to think this TLS VACs are somewhat unreliable.

chucksbadt:
Oh yeah
Finally!!

Called UKVI this morning
Those people expensive sha, N6k comot for my account for the 10 mins call i made. The 6k is separate from the regular call charges. Last last just hold your ATM for hand with enough money inside if you one call them.

They said a decesion was made since 27th August.
Immediately i dropped the call, i tracked my application and now noticed it was now 4/6. After like 3 hours, it was 6/6. My Passport is currently on the way via DHL.

In summary
Biometrics done 19th August (Standard service)
Decesion made 27 August
Passport will be received tomorrow 18th September

You can build a successful career as a sales man but can't say same for teaching except teaching is a passion for you. As a sales rep, depending on the industry, you can work towards being a sales manager, then higher up to an area sales man, then further towards being a regional sales manager, etc.…it goes higher and higher. Teaching is different, you need the right qualifications, experience and passion (most importantly) to get you to the top positions.

Studying computer science is killing me I want to change course I did biology,agric, physics which course can i change to....Help
None of these courses you mentioned beats Computer Science in this modern age. If you have Math problems, I'd suggest you find someone that understands it better than you to put you through. Try and find the motivation that led to apply for the course in the first place, let it lead you to the finishing line. If you still insist on switching, then find out from your school how departmental or faculty transfers work. Each school has its requirement, fee and process.

All the best.

Set a target for your result and bring your mind towards achieving it. Take sometime off social media. You should also take a walk to classroom or reading rooms and observe those reading. Think of something that triggers your motivation: family, disappointments, friends, wanting to be the best and most importantly getting a job after school-you need good grades first.

As i type now, She(my sis) has fall sick because of these and i can't even stand my mum who has been sad throughout today, saying my sister will never forgive her if she doesn't get this job because of this issue. Myself i'm confused and don't even what step to take next.

Please your advised will highly appreciated..
Oh please! The job is hers already. No need to fret!

My sister has finished (university) schooling for like 3yrs now and has been working for relation who offered her a job as a secretary. The Job is not that perfect and she has been enduring because she has no job and he pays her 20k monthly someone with first-class upper, funny enough this country doesn't give a damn! about your grade all na for your pocket..

So here is the Good news my sister just got a job as an assistant lecturer in one of the federal universities after going for the interview and she was asked to come yesterday for the final screening and they demanded for all the necessarily documents, she has all others docs but the problem now is her First Leaving School Certificate which she has not collected from her primary school which is in Lagos but now we based in south-east for now.

I have called the school management but they demanded an outrageous amount of 10k and said it will be available by tomorrow evening but the school management gave my sister two days to provide this document. Pls guys i don't want these to be the reason why she will denied this Job and my mother has been blaming herself for not collecting the doc then after her schooling but there was a reason and i do understand.

Pls is there a way to present a First Leaving School Certificate first from a cybercafe so when she get the original she can also present it when ask upon and tomorrow morning is the deadline she given to her.
There's no option than to pay the money as FSLC is usually issued by the state where primary education was completed. She should go with the other documents and submit them first and explain the FSLC situation to them -she moved from Lagos and was unable to get it but has contacted the school and it will be arriving the next day. She should resubmit all the documents again including the FSLC certificate immediately she gets it. Who knows? There's nothing God cannot do, right?

As for the scholarship i guess i would have to improve on my packaging and give it a try, i have about 5 publications, professional certifications and some awards. Thanks again for the info
Wow! You're good to go! Applications for PTDF scholarship starts around December, be on the look out! You should also try Commonwealth shared scholarship next year: go through the requirements for previous application and prepare your application before hand (the courses may differ next year but are still within the same faculty). Federal government is the nominating agency for Commonwealth scholarship (this is different from Commonwealth shared scholarship where UK universities are the nominating agency. You would have gained admission before your application will be considered) and I doubt the credibility of the process as there were always negative feedbacks from candidates that participated in the interview process but I wouldn't want to discourage you. You should try it too, usually opens between December to February of the succeeding year.

@ggoldmine, pls do I need much funds in my alc before I could be qualify for the full scholarship?
Probably, when you are applying for visa but for now, no. Just focus on getting a supervisor that will accept you, although, you need money for an application fee when you must have gotten a supervisor. The application fee is usually CAD100 and you'll also take care of your flight ticket should you be admitted.

There are other scholarships you can try out: Australian Research Training Program-it's a fully funded research scholarship, Chinese Government scholarship, Korean Government scholarship: all these scholarships are awarded to a large number each year.

Psychology is extremely competitive in the States. She has to ace her GRE exams. If she does, she will surely get in. There are huge prospects for psychologists which might be dependent on the area she specializes in.

@ggoldmine Pls did you study in canada?
No dear. Got advice from friends who are there and also did my research.
EducationRe: Fully Funded Postgraduate: Please Share Your Experience. by ggoldmine(f): 11:10pm On Aug 14, 2019
For schools in Canada; almost all the masters by research programs are fully funded, though much work lies in getting a supervisor. If you'll be going for a masters by coursework, then forget scholarship or any form of funding as most of the programs are hardly funded. So, if you want to continue your studies in Canada;
-decide on an area of research
-Google a good number of Canadian schools
-find a supervisor that shares the same research interests as you
-contact the supervisor
It's not easy finding a supervisor but you have to keep sending those mails to as many as you can come across.
Good luck.

You can also try other scholarships like chevening, Commonwealth, Commonwealth shared, PTDF, etc. Though these scholarships are competitive, they are not unobtainable. You just need to package your applications with awards, publications, etc.
