You can register online with one of two organizations, namely British Council (https://ieltsregistration.britishcouncil.org/)
Or IDP/MOD (ielts.ng) you will find list of centers available there including centers in Benin city and you can make your choice.

To the best of my knowledge, sadly no. Intl passport is the only acceptable means of identification for Nigerians.

Lol. Cos now is the highest bidder. That's what I just realised now. Its not about applying online kankan. Nah money matter now. At first this thing wasn't as hard as this. Infact , It was easy to see a company back then . But now. Its about connection and who knows who . Just like NNPC and cbn job. Cos is now like that o . It's now on slots basis.

Please what is COs?
Is the exam still holding on election day?

Legitmenaija:


Congratulations.

Please can you post the link of the thread where you got useful tips from?

Derby offered me admission but they are requesting for IELTS. Their reason is that the DOB on my WAEC certificate is wrong and they won't accept affidavit. So, i sent them my NECO. I don't know if they will accept it though.


But meanwhile, i want to start getting prepped for the IELTS exam because i don't want to loose the offer.

YouTube videos came in handy for me

You will pass. Just relax and wear comfortable clothes and shoes.

Tips:
READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS ON THE TEST CAREFULLY BEFORE YOU START. IF YOU SEE 'ONE WORD ONLY' Do not write 2 or more words.


--- WRITING:

Double check for spelling errors after each part.
Do the part 2 first.
Don't write big words that you are not sure of the spellings or meaning.
--------

--- LISTENING:

Clear your head and your heart of any roaming thoughts. FOCUS.
Listen to the recording as if you are listening to a real life conversation, you can't miss any word.
Don't listen to respond, listen to understand. Listen to catch each word and number mentioned.
Listen to corrections made by the speakers as they speak.
--------

READING:

Make sure your spellings are correct when answering questions.
If possible, copy the answers from the passage if you are not sure of spellings.
Read between the lines, some answers are not in plain sight.
Don't waste time.
-----------

---> FOR SPEAKING TEST

Tell yourself that it is not an INTERVIEW or EXAM.
Pretend that the examiner asking you questions is a friend you just met in your new school or your new location abroad.
Relax and answer questions like you are having a conversation with someone you just met.
NOTE that there are no right or wrong answers when the conversation starts to feel like an argument. Smile and state your opinion without thinking you are right or wrong.
Speak up because you will not be told that your voice is low, but it will affect your score.

Remember it is not a test of who can speak the most bogus grammar, but who can carry on a conversation with minimum error, nuance, and with fluidity. Keep talking until the examiner stops you each time. When you feel like you don't know the answer, ask her/him to explain further. Don't feel bad when you feel you haven't answered a question correctly, it is not an INTERVIEW, remember. Just talk and flow with the examiner (like you would with a new friend)
---------

Don't Fret, it's not a rigid exam, just a test of how comfortable you are with the language.
Go with a clear/transparent bottle of water (remove the label)
Go with your face mask
Eat before going if possible
If your Writing and Speaking tests are on the same day, make sure you eat because you will get tired. (One of the guys there gave me jollof rice while I was waiting for my speaking test because I was almost fainting from hunger)
Go with a pen, pencil, and eraser.

Best of luck.

Thanks a lot... I aced my IELTS

I finally got feedback from british council concerning my remark request for my IELTS academic writing test. My score increased from band 6 to 7. The Nigerian accessors at IELTS british council need to do better. My EOR was needlessly delayed for almost a month and released on the 4th of January, since 7th December, 2022, even after multiple emails and phone calls complaining about the delay. The sad part is that the attached letter from the feedback was backdated to 16th December, 2022. Making it seem like they remarked my tests and sent me the letter on 16th December, 2022. Now I have missed several priority schools application deadlines, due to their lacklustre attitude.

Today is Day 30 since I requested for EOR and I'm yet to receive a reply despite several messages to them
What should I do next?

Hi All,
