Wa, Southwest English for where... You heard my recording o, that accent no dey southwestern at all.. In fact, dem no fit use that accent identify me for street..

I didn't use speech to text software sha.. That thing na heartbreaker abeg. Even with that Brit-gerian accent, neither my computer nor my phone can understand me properly...

SegunWamiri:
@ Ozymigrant

Lolz@ shout from now till tomorrow. I have actually been practising with the Google speech to text on my phone and I have been getting about 95% accuracy. On a lighter note, maybe you really have an accent like someone from the South west

zanyzara:
PTE is more accurate than all these softwares. Their algorithm has taken care of lots of native languages. In addition to E2 language videos, check out the ones by Navjot brar, she's Indian, you will gain one or two things.

SUJYDEE:
In addition, when children over 2 years are involved... Please pick a day between Monday and Wednesday because there's a test you will need to come back for the review after 2 days. If you go on Thursday, they will ask you to come back for the test on Monday as they don't operate on weekends.

POTUSUK:
e2 pronounce na app and can be downloaded for free na?... why pay?!

mamajaz:
I think the least is $129, google for e2 language. You may want to consult Cecegal two.

jamson:
Bnimz, where are you ooo? I have little to say to be honest. All I did was to mimic American accent please thrash those speech to text software, because they will only succeed in demoralizing you. Make sure to digest all E2 PTE video lessons on YouTube and abide by their instructions. While it is good to work on your pronounciaton, don't do that at the expense of other important pointers like vocabulary, grammar, content and form as they are very crucial to your 20 points

I am happy to provide further help

SUJYDEE:
OzyMigrant,
EA assessment, saved 150k How much is the total amount itself?

Rett0:
I doubt you'll get AUD in the parallel market. You'll have to buy USD and load your Domiciliary account.

Current parallel market rate is #492=$1
1Usd=1.35Aud

So 1Aud=#364.444.

1Aud~#365 in the parallel market.

Bnimz:
Checked. The Address dey conspicuously PRESENT

Bnimz:
I go need look my PCC, but surely it would be easier to update your account details with your bank to reflect the right address

Bnimz:
Yep.

Visit acro.police.uk .. It's all online and very straightforward

penitential:
Please am trying filing the form on EA website, please which am I going to choose of the following options sydney accord, Washington accord, Dublin accord. . Or CDR?

Graceee:
Good day House,
Please what does occupational ceilings mean?

Bnimz:
I'm not married, but I don't see the problem.. It is not uncommon up here for White ladies to retain their names after marriage, especially in this society where divorce is about as common as ordinary relationship breakup...

With the above documents, you have no problem.

jamson:
Oga Bnimz (as Bellong don ditch the title.... ) na your party I dey na. Whether suspend or rusticate, I told the gentleman to still pick it up as soon as he can as waiting for a normal assessment turnaround time is 'suicidal'.

I' m sure you'd agree with me that there is even more to it than the money or response time. What if some unfavourable immigration policy review springs up from the blues and his processing is caught up in the middle of it

jamson:
Ordinarily, a letter of proficiency would suffice. But a case was brought up on this same thread where the CO rejected the letter and instead asked for an English test result.

So I guess it is a matter of who is reviewing who and as for me ooo, I have taken my wife to write PTE to avoid stories that touch the heart with unnecessary delay.

bellong:
As long as you can proof you are responsible for him, you can add him as a dependent

Bnimz:
There is no back button bro. once you click next, that is it.

mctowel01:
If you meant summarize spoken text...It carries marks ooh..both in writing and listening.
its important, but easy to nail with a strategy.

mctowel01:
To add to the tones of info on the materials you will download up there.. I took my test twice recently. First
Scored L/S/R/W 83/72/87/90..Expecting the result of the second.
In reading and listening..time is of the essence..Try to develop an instinctive approach o the questions. Don't try to waste any time dwelling on a question. Just quickly analyze options and select one and move on. Chances are that you might not still get it right even if you spend much time. this is very very important in the listening section because the high scoring questions - write from dictation- are the last questions. So if you waste time on multiple choice which is just 1/2 marks and miss the write from dictation, your scores will be low.

mctowel01:
Taken your test?
How was it?

40manlappy:
Please share the link to the PTE thread. Cheers

40manlappy:
@bellong, please give OzyMigrant the benefit of the doubt.

To paraphrase a Yoruba proverb: If you close your eyes so that you won't see unworthy people pass, you may not notice when good people take the same route.

Some of us here too may also need your able assistance in this area in the near future.

Appreciative people are still plenty out there. Please reconsider Oga bellong.
