Hello house. Am currently studying for IELTS. I try to practice at least 2 listening tests daily (I use ieltsonlinetests.com and Cambridge IELTS 12).
Am getting very concerned now. Never gotten up to a 36 (am always within the 28-32 band), in all my practice. How did you all do it?

Pls what could I be doing wrong. Can anyone point me to a good study material, so I can improve. Kindly assist. Thanks in advance.

Jlady0424:
@deboks: please how did you apply for transcript (Law-ABSU)? What do I need to do? and did you use WES or IQAS for ECA? I dey your back, I hope to tell you congrats in the nearest future.
To all PPR winners, congrats and as is the slogan here: IT WILL ALL END IN PRAISE!

Try to find out why you are having low scores; Are you loosing concentration halfway? are certain sections giving you problems? Is it your spelling? Do you have issues understanding the accent of the speakers?

Try to narrow down where the problem is coming from and then we can help you tackle it.

Congrats

Thanks for responding to him. I have similar challenges. I lose concentration at a certain point and I struggle with anything map. Your thoughts.

Thanks

Issa Canadian NOC something naa. Use part of your POF biko.

ysteph:
The two materials you are using are good.
You should check your spellings too. Even if you hear all the conversation, writing a wrong spelling of a word will make you loose marks.
The greatest tool for listening practice according to me is to concentrate 100%. .

ysteph:
If it's your LLB you want to evaluate, please use IQAS. Just prepare to endure the long wait for your ECA.

Ethelia:

Loosing concentration is a common problem. Try to minimize distractions and focus 100%, remember you cannot rewind the tape and when you miss an answer, it can be hard to get back on track.

For maps, try to practice using pencil on paper. As the speaker talks, use your pencil to trace the directions on the map, doing this is very helpful even when they try to trick you with wrong answers.

I wish you the best.

@ ArcUgo

I used only sale of land as my POF and I did not take any chances, find list provided. Basically I tried to prove the land was mine and Also that I had sold it

- Letter of Explanation detailing the structure of the transaction, costs,names,locations etc. complete with flow diagram(not kidding)
- Land did not have CofO, but I used the govt registered survey plan(in my name) with seal from Alausa
- Deed of Assignment of Original purchase by me
- Deed of Assignment for Sale to the new owner
- Purchase receipt (when I purchased the land)
- Sale receipt to the new owner
- Bank transfer slip New owner to me
- Affidavit of purchase (some people lump this in the Deed)

Hope this helps. No ADR

Hi,
A friend of mine needs to sell her land its at Lekki, please how did you sell yours?

deboks:
can i open an express entry profile or should i hang on till my ECA lands.my IELTS is ready and WES says it will be completed on 8/8/18. Current CRS score is 462. my birthday is in September.

Newmum0615:
Bros, it seems the oracle is saying that your NOC is 4163 Business development officers and marketing researchers and consultants o. Not 0122. I am still in consultation sha. But I can hear the voice clearly in my left ear.

You still need to trim it down though. Don't allow your VO to vex because of eye ache.

Hello House, my first attempted IELTS results came out Yesterday.[

Brother, you have joined this train too?

Shyee:


Well, for maps, I start out by drawing the 4 cardinal points (NSWE, NE, NW etc respectively)) when given time to go through the questions. Hence make sure you note those points well.
Another thing is mark the questions on the question paper(Note the questions), there were times I mistaken questions for alphabets used for landmarks or references.

Trust me, you can ace IELTS, I started out scoring 25-28-30-34, when I wrote the exam I scored between 36-40 consistently for 10 tests. Give it all it takes. My Listening was 8.5.
Be hard on yourself when practicing, discipline yourself NOT to rewind tapes unless you have chosen your answers, mark wrong spellings wrong(unless you want to feel good out of frustration, I did it too). Hear and Listen to everything.

MY PPR IS OUT

SOMEBODY SHOUT HALLELUYAH & ALLAH AKBAR

Kockane:
Bro! You sef dey here?!!

Na so oh!!! May God help us.

ysteph:
Any of the evaluating bodies should evaluate it as a Professional Degree.
Lawyers have issues with WES evaluating some law degree as Professional degree so i'll advise you to go with IQAS.
I will advise you to use the search bar here to find optometry ECA etc. to get a live example.
Meanwhile, see below: -
"...For Express Entry, we only accept professional degrees in these fields:
medicine,
veterinary medicine,
dentistry,
optometry,
law,
chiropractic medicine, or
pharmacy."

subzero007:
I can relate,do not lose focus, all you needed in writing is to give real life examples. For eg,while discussing on good road network,you should use a real life eg. Abuja has a good road network when compared to Lagos and as a result,have limited road traffic.London has the best subway in the world and this makes movement faster.

Try to give at least 2 egs in your essay

Newmum0615:
Lol. Welcome back. London people say they are helping me look for work, that's why it is taking this long. The PPR is coming with job offer

Enitan007:
It came out in 2 weeks. Just keep checking your result online for possible upgrade, if the test date is still available on their website.

sleekchic:


I just love your positive spirit @newmum0615 .

Congratulations to aaaaaalllll who have gotten their PPR. I cant wait for the day I write my long post of PPR. I have fantasized about that day since the day I joined this thread in PART 2. I remember when I started this journey last year, someone said to me "this Canada waka will teach you patience" I just smiled, in my mind I had it all planned out, and by August we were surely going to be out of here. I have indeed been in the 'School of Patience'. I trust I will be a better person after this.

Surely we will all get there.
