People who chose CBT instead of paper based, is it allowed for one to have a pen and an empty sheet of paper with one during the writing module?

I am a silent follower of this thread. I want to appreciate everyone for their inputs, it has really been of immense help.

I took the ielts exam on the 10th of feb (cbt).The result was out on the 6th day...
L 7.5
W 6.0 (needed a at least 6.5)
R 8.0
S 7.0

Applied for EOR. Had to pay 44,750 since it was ukvi. After series of mails and disturbances, i was told to resubmit my details for confirmation, two days later i got a mail that my writing module has been increased to 6.5

Fastrack ielts was by far the most helpful youtube resource.

Ielts practice band 9 app, also came in handy

ieltsonlinetests.com, helped in timing and cbt simulation

What Benefits Come From Studying In The United States?



Luxair Educational Services unveiled a spectacular initiative to encourage people to have the chance to study in the US without experiencing stress. Additionally, if you choose to participate in this exclusive promotion, you will pay just N250,000 rather than the customary N650,000. I know, this is amazing!

This post will walk you through the benefits of being a student in America because you might be wondering what makes studying there special.

Some of the best universities in the world are located in the United States, one of the many advantages of studying there for foreign students. You will also undoubtedly meet people from all over the world who are studying in the US alongside you because there are so many students from other nations there.

You'll be able to get assistance when you need it because there is a strong support system in place for international students. However, that is just the start. See the points for even more justifications why studying abroad in America might be ideal for you.

Many of the top universities in the world are American, according to the rankings. The obvious advantages of studying in the United States for international students may be enhanced by being accepted into one of these prestigious institutions, but there are also a number of top-tier programs that are not Ivy League schools.

Native American and immigrant cultures have had a significant impact on American cultural history. College towns have a reputation for being diversely represented in their communities.

You can enjoy conversations in coffee shops and bars, visit museums, and listen to music while studying abroad in the US. These activities will not only improve your social life but also your educational opportunities.

You will have the chance to expand your network and make friends with people from all over the world if you decide that studying abroad in America is the best option for you.

The United States is not only a popular travel destination for people from all over the world, but college campuses are also crowded with students from all over the nation and the world.

When you enroll in an American institution, you will be in good company, and you'll discover that one of the many advantages of studying in the USA for international students worldwide is the relationships you develop.

If you're from a developing nation like Nigeria, studying abroad in the US may be able to connect you with the kinds of resources that make studying there a highly desirable opportunity to learn, develop, and gain access to resources that will set your educational path apart from what you could learn at home.

There are many different climates and geographies in the US. If you prefer cold climates, year-round warmth, or easy access to lakes, oceans, or rivers, the US is the ideal location for studying abroad.

If you want four distinct seasons, there are many locations with crisp autumns, chilly winters, balmy springs, and hot summers. Alternatively, if you prefer a high humidity level all year round, there are many coastal towns with colleges that would be ideal for you.

In the US, you can find any kind of weather you might desire for your time abroad.

Despite the fact that these is the United States, there are many different regional and state variations from one place to the next. The best part is that you can move freely between states without obtaining a particular permit or additional paperwork.

The chance to see so much of the nation with little effort is undoubtedly one of the advantages of studying in the USA for international students. You can easily travel from a major city in one state to the countryside in another state with little more than a GPS and gas money, aside from paying small fees and turnpike tolls.

Your resume or CV will always stand out from those of others with similar educational backgrounds if you have international experience. You exhibit courage, curiosity, adaptability, and an innovative spirit when you step outside your comfort zone and study abroad.

The time you spend studying abroad in the US will demonstrate to prospective employers that you are willing to broaden your horizons through careful planning and diligent work. These are the skills of the new economy.

What’s the difference between ielts ukvi and ordinary ielts
Re: IELTS: Share Your Experience, Ask Your Questions, Tell Us Your Score If You Can. by Otunbalimpopo22: 11:13pm On Mar 22, 2023
More to know about IELTS and TOEFL and Major differences Between the Two foreign Exam.
There are numerous variations of these tests; however, the Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) and International English Language Test System (IELTS) are the two major players. Both IELTS and TOEFL are well-known, reliable and valid tests. In this post, you are going to learn more about these two language tests : and to know more you can contact Limpopo on 08115208610

The structure and the pattern of both tests;
The differences between TOEFL and IELTS;
Which one you should choose;
A sample of the IELTS & TOEFL listening exercises;
The preparation we offer at Limpopo Academic Exam Centre

All the Information You Need to Know about the IELTS Exam
The IELTS is an English language test that measures how well you can read, write, listen to and speak English.

It is used for educational, immigration and occupational purposes. More than 10,000 institutions in dozens of countries around the globe accept it. Even though IELTS is based on British style English, test takers can use either British or US spellings in their answers. There are two versions of the test: Academic and General Training.

What’s on the IELTS exam?
There are four sections: Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking. The Listening and Speaking sections are the same for both tests.

The content of the Reading and Writing sections differs, depending on which test you take. For example, you write an academic essay for the Academic version, but you write a business style letter for the General Training version. The Listening, Reading and Writing sections of both versions of the IELTS test are completed on the same day. There are no breaks.

On the other hand, the Speaking section can be taken up to a week before or after the other tests. This section consists of a face-to-face interview with an examiner.

The interview is recorded. This section lasts 20 minutes max. The total test time is 2 hours and 45 minutes.

All the Information You Need to Know about the TOEFL Exam
We’re going to answer all the TOEFL questions you have and give you useful TOEFL tips for improving your score.

First and foremost, the TOEFL assesses your ability to communicate in English in academic, classroom-based settings. It is an American owned test.

Hence, students seeking admission to US schools tend to take it. It uses American spellings and vocabulary; however, you are not penalized for sounding British in the speaking sections or using British spellings in the writing section. The TOEFL is an important test since more than 8,500 institutions in dozens of countries around the globe accept it.

If you’re interested in registering for the TOEFL or choosing your TOEFL test center, we have created step-by-step guides on our blog.

What’s on the TOEFL exam?
The TOEFL test’s pattern and structure is rather basic and does not differ much from the other tests. There are four sections: Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking. The overall test takes four hours to complete. You perform tasks that combine your English communication skills.

You will read, listen and then speak in response to a question. The reading and listening sections come first.

Then there is a short break of ten minutes. Next, the speaking and writing sections follow. The entire test is computer-based.

What Are the Differences Between the IELTS and TOEFL Tests?
Aside from the different spelling and vocabulary, TOEFL questions are mostly multiple choice, while IELTS requires test takers to respond to a range of different question types such as short answer, gap-filling and short essay tasks. Moreover, the IELTS exam is quite a bit shorter than the TOEFL IBT exam: 2 hours and 40 minutes as compared to four hours to complete, respectively.

Both of them have a speaking section, the IELTS speaking test is taken face-to-face with an examiner. In the TOEFL exam, there are no physical people to evaluate this section.

Your responses are recorded, and then they are assessed. The IELTS exam features English speakers with different accents. TOEFL test only targets speakers with American accents.

For the writing sections, the TOEFL exam is typed as opposed to the written responses of the IELTS exam. Both tests require the completion of two tasks. The TOEFL essay is somewhat longer: over 300 words while the IELTS is 250 words.

Tests vary quite significantly in their listening components. The TOEFL listening test is between 40-60 minutes long, and involves you listening to excerpts from university lectures or conversations on a university campus.

You have to take notes as you listen, and then answer a series of multiple choice questions. For the IELTS listening test, students can answer questions as they listen to the recordings. Test takers will respond to a number of different question types.

TOEFL/IELTS Conversion, Score and CEFR Equivalence
The TOEFL score and the grading system is absolutly different from the IELTS’ grading system. TOEFL score uses a single grade that is out of 120 points. IELTS is graded on a band system. The bands are from 1-9 with the overall IELTS scores being an average of your separate test scores in all four sections. Your overall score will be rounded-off to the nearest half-band.

TOEFL IELTS CEFR Level
0-17 A1 (beginner)
18-55 0-4 A2 (elementary)
56-86 4.5-5 B1 (intermediary)
87-109 5.5-6.5 B2 (upper intermediary)
110-120 7-8 C1 (advanced)
- 8-9 C2 (Expert)
You can also take a look at the differences between the Cambridge tests and the IELTS, CELPIP vs IELTS or even TOEIC vs IELTS tests.

Which Test Between TOEFL and IELTS Should You Choose?
Although both tests have excellent reputations and are widely accepted, they do have differences in their approaches, structure and content. Consequently, you should think carefully about which one you’ll choose to take.

First of all, both TOEFL and IELTS test every aspect of the language.

TOEFL :

The speaking part consists of listening to a vocal recording on the computer;
The writing part consists of answering questions on a computer;
4 tests for the 4 parts (speaking, writing, listening, reading);
3-hour long;
120-point rating;
Average difficulty.
IELTS :

The speaking part is done with an examinator;
The writing part is done on a sheet with an analysis of documents;
1 test for the 4 parts;
2 hours and 245min;
0-to-9-point rating;
High difficulty.
