Good morning family...Happy new year.... I need serious help.
IELTS Nov1 LRSW- 7.5, 9, 7.5, 6.5

I am fine with my writing score because i reviewed my essay and I found out that it lacked structure.My major problem is the listening,people who have aced listening should please recommend books or online sites where the standard of questions is equivalent to IELTS.(I was told that band 8 is about 35-36 over 40) and sincerely i am deficient in this section.

On test day, i was completely lost in section 2, (the dolphin question where we had to match features of dolphins with their species).
I intend writing this january. PLEASE help.....I would also like people who have aced it to give me tips(I don't know if band 9 is feasible).

'ABEG'...

Band 9 is feasible but concentration is key. I had 9 in listening and the best advice i can give is to practice and don’t stop till you’re getting 37-39 over 40 consistently. Use Cambridge books, print out the tests and the answer sheet. What have you been using to practice and how many tests did you practice?

Hi to the House!

Am just in serious pain! Just check IELTS now and am so disappointed in my result. I can't just say or think of what exactly is the issue, either with me or the IDP center I took the test with.

I can Imagin having L=5.0, W=6.5, R=7.0, S= 6.5, so poor!

I knew I prepared very well.

I do not just know what to do, either to just forget this EE of a thing as a whole.

Any suggestion is highly welcomed, I know myself, am not this dump!

I have highlighted errors in your post, you must have made mistakes in your test. No one is an island of knowledge. Failing Ielts does not mean anyone is dumb as you have said. For the Listening and Writing, practice as many Cambridge tests as you can until you are consistently scoring 37-39 over 40. Don't pay for another exam until you have this sorted. For speaking, try to practice with a friend who can spot out errors and correct you. For writing, practice practice practice and see if you can give someone else to view and make corrections also. It might help to read sample high band essays.

All the best

Redaddict:
Hi guys,

Please I need advice on the way forward. I just got result of my third IELTS test and it’s not looking positive.

3rd test- LRWS - 7.0, 6.5, 7.0, 8.0
2nd test - LRWS- 7.5, 6.5, 7.5, 7.0
1st test- LRWS- 7.5, 7.0, 6.5, 8.0

I don’t know if I should apply for a remark or write a 4th test. So sad right now.

Your writing seems ok. If you’re in Lagos, on the mainland and have a laptop, i can help with your reading and listening.

Good morning e-family compliments of the season to you all. Please I need advise on a grossly disturbing issue which goes thus:

We got a guy to help process WAEC verification and send to WES on behalf of my wife, brother and his wife, unknown to us the guy collected the money but got waec letter head and forged signatures on the verification.

My brother's wife's verification scaled through, my wife's own is still pending but my brother's own was rejected because waec notified wes that it was not authentic. He has however verified his first degree and foreign masters degree.

Below is a screen shot of wes's mail to him:

Dear ×××××××××,

Thank you for choosing World Education Services (WES).
​
REPORTING INSTITUTION: West African Examinations Council

World Education Services Inc.(WES) has been advised by the reporting institution named above that the documents submited for evaluation are not authentic.

In accordance with our stated policy, your application has been cancelled. All documents will be retained by WES and fees will not be refunded. WES will notify all the appropriate authorities.

WES cautions you against using these documents for any purpose.

Best Regards,

WES Customer Service

My suggestion to him is to register with wes again and start the process all over again and personally process the waec verification and re-send to wes to correct the negative reporthings.

Has anyone had a similar issue? How was it handled?

Family, your advise is highly appreciated

Thank you all

Whenever you have someone represent you, like you have done in this case, just think of it like you did it yourself. From WES point of view, you attempted to defraud them so why will they want to do business with you anymore?

Why do you want to then go back to WES again? my suggestion to you is that you try a different evaluation body like ICES. I pray they are no wide spread implications apart from loosing your money and starting the process again.

Hello,

Pls what could be the reason behind the passenger side cooling but driver side and rear not cooling. AC was not working before, has now been filled and then this is happening.

Flaj:
Are you pre-ITA or post-ITA?
Pre-ITA = Don't include it in your profile. When you get ITA, you'll put it in personal history.
Post-ITA = If you already included it in your EE profile, move the details out of your work history to your personal history

Post ITA. Thanks. I didn’t include it in my profile initially

boladet:
hi guys pls i need help i just finished filling an express entry profile and i immediately got a message that i am not eligible i dont understand why,my score was not even shown or computed, i have an okay score in ielts 9L 8R 7.5w &7Sp i have the equivalent of masters degree since i am a dentist this was evaluated by wes , why i am ineligible ,i took the inital survey i was eligible what must have happened.
i filled my spouse to accompany me but he does not have general ielts and his ECA is not ready but he has relative in canada could that be wht made me ineligible .should i go and create another EE profile .PLease i need answers i am so concerned.

Same thing happened to me, I couldn’t figure out where I went wrong so I just filled out another profile very carefully and it went through the second time.

Hello,

Can I exclude work experience which is not relevant to my application or can I include it without providing a reference letter?

CharlesJok3r:
can you drop the names of the companies that are very good at pimping critically accidental cars in nigeria.?

Stilldre Autofix. Check google and click first link

Ajibel:
I will support him. Ambode failed and that's why he wasn't returned. Lagos isn't where it ought to be by now and that's largely thanks to Ambode. With Sanwoolu, we hope he redirects Lagos to a greater height and continue from where BRF stopped.

Have you traveled outside Nigeria? Also do you have a voter's card?

Ajibel:
Better the devil you know than the angel you don't know. My bet is on Sanwo-olu

The devil you have known for 16 years is Tinubu. If you pay your taxes, have been to a state hospital and loved it there and you also love the roads you ply on and the horrible yellow buses you enter, then please vote for Sanwo-Olu. If you have been to a modern city in Africa, like Nairobi, Capetown and even Accra and you still happy with Lagos, then carry on.

Ajibel:
I don't know what can stop this guy from being the next governor of Lagos state.

Sanwo eko

You. You can stop him by voting

Vin for the Rav 4?

I nominate Cosplay

I’m interested. What’s your location? Your number is not reachable

You do not know what depression is. It is not sadness, it is mental health related. There is absolutely no movie that can stop you from falling into it.

I logged into my cic acct and saw my profile was

I wasn't expecting it to come without an ADR for updated POF since my application had been pending for almost 10months. I lost appetite immediately, and was was just screaming. I couldn't share the news with my colleagues, so I just lied to them that my husband got a new job!�.

I am immensely grateful to God Almighty who did not put me to shame. Delay is not denial. Though it tarries, it must surely come.

Thank you all for all the love and support.

Off to take my pictures and submit tomorrow.

This year has been so challenging. hubby and I lost our jobs, all our money tied at POF, we were feeding from Hand to mouth and struggled to pay school fees. Infact this September, we had to change their schools to a very cheap school.

God bless you all.

I followed you specifically because I have been eager to read your testimony!

10 months of waiting is no joke. Your initial post on your struggles was very heartbreaking but I thank God that it finally came through.

Congratulations!

I can’t wait to leave this shit hole.

On my way back from work, at that annoying mile 2 traffic,because of the trailer parked there headed for festac, some guys tried to rob my colleague’s

Why did I have to be born into this shithole, the poor girl has just been crying.

Sorry you went through this, it is a traumatizing experience. I feel your frustration with Lagos and Nigeria in general. I basically sleep inside a club because there’s a lounge blasting music right next to my house. It’s so bad that I can Shazam the music from my room. Doors closed, windows shut, makes no difference. Sent mails, called and vsisited the regularory agency, no difference.

I am thankful that we have the opportunity to leave, many don’t.
