[quote author=Bumdesh post=73550793][/quote]This is not true Sir/Ma. It is not compulsory for a spouse to do ECA. You need to check page 1 yourself.

junebaby:
My remark just came out successful!

I have been shouting since....God I give u all the glory.

Thanks to the people that encouraged me to remark.

In addition, when I saw how MOD guys sent mails to Australia for their remark. As BC don't have such emails, I went on Cambridge's twitter handle. If it worked I will never know as I didn't get a response.

However, I am extremely grateful to God.

Used Liz, Jay and writetotop on you tube.

Practiced a lot. Especially listening in a bus.

Which module did you remark and how long did it take?

Hello people, please what is the validity of PCC

boco2126:
Good morning, I have sent the materials to all the email addresses I saw after my post. Please let me know if you did not receive yours. Good luck and have a fruitful week.

I didn't receive mine. Olayideakanbi@gmail.com

I really appreciate everyone's comments and advise as I have picked one thing or the other to look into. The race is not to the swift..... But there is obviously no giving up. Thumbs up to our senior gbogbogbo in the house today to provide support, you guys rock.

Babesy:
Not againnnn ....LRWS: 8, 7.5, 6.5, 7.5.....

Please ask for a remark then if possible, book for another

Jasmine17:
You quoted me first time, I ignored you because it was clear you never comprehended anything from the past posts.

You went ahead to quote me again. Now it is clear you want my attention and i will give it to you just this once.

Dont quote me again.

I don't want your attention at all. Really don't need it for anything as I was referring to both of you guys going on about Liz and ieltsadv cos I felt it can be confusing for people looking for a way out. It's good u already said u won't say anything again so let sleeping dog lie abeg

boco2126:
On this IELTS issue...my two cents.

1. Stick to a FEW practice materials! The number of materials for IELTS that we see on a daily on this thread can be overwhelming. Try out only a few and stick to the one that resonates with you. Don't use ieltsliz, Jay, Cambridge, ieltsadvantage, road2ielts etc at the same time (some of these peope don't agree on the same approach and reading all can get really confusing). If you try one and it sits well with you, ditch others. Focus on that one and be a master of it. I almost got overwhelmed at some point, because l wanted to open every link or try every material l saw here. But l had to give myself brain oh.

2. Practise everyday. No excuses. Create the time. Even at work, you can use your lunch break to practise. Instead of listening to music or radio on your way to work, listen to your downloaded tips on writing, speaking, reading, listening. When walking down the streets, have an earpiece on (l hate this, but we can make sacrifices for one month abi?) and keep LISTENING. At weekends, practice speaking with your wife/husband, friend, son/daughter etc. Write out questions and tell them to ask you (under exam conditions). I finished a WHOLE 30 leaves notebook for listening practice (yeah l work an 8 to 5 and live on the mainland with my office on the island -remember, no excuses!). Always check your wrong answers and replay those portions and find out what you didn't hear properly. I used youtube for listening/speaking/reading.

3. There's this ielts expert too, one Ryan (cannot remember his surname) that l think is underrated. I used his tips for writing. He talks about 15 sentences max for writing. 3 paragraphs with 4 sentences and the closing paragraph should have 3 sentences. This keeps you in check and you already know what to write before the exam, all you will be waiting for on the ielts day is the topic given! I can share his materials if you drop your email address.
For writing, write letter and essays! Don't read what someone else wrote. Write yours too. Some people practise writing by reading another's work -WRONG! write yours too and compare. Minimum letters to write on different topics - 10. Minimum essays - 20. Revise your work and look for better ways to reconstruct your sentences. I suggest you write with pencil on your exam day so you can erase if need be.

4. For reading - use youtube. It also has a timer, so practice using the time and don't stop the timer or pause the video. The easiest comprehension in reading are the first two. Spend less time there. Say 5 mins tops for each. You do not need to UNDERSTAND nada. Just look at the instructions (very important), then the questions, then scroll through the passages for the answers. You need all your time for the last two passages. They are more technical.

5. For speaking - Be confident, relaxed and know your basic english and introduction (see ieltsliz). See this as an interview. We all attend interviews don't we? I got a list of 42 likely cue cards from ieltsliz blog (l think she said they change it every 3 months but she always update the cue card questions) and l practiced the 42 different topics and l always set my two minutes timer with my phone. You can be in the BRT or your car and practice this one, or when walking down the street or whilst doing chores at home, or lying down in your bed doing nothing (l did this. Some days, people will think you are going crazy because you are talking to yourself, but...who no go no know). One of the 42 questions l practiced was my cue card during my speaking test -something on my pet animal (l was wondering "madam why me? Animal kwa?" but because l had practised earlier, the examiner had to cut me off when it was two minutes. I just went end the Ryan materials to you.

This too shall pass!

All the best everyone and my apologies for the long post.

Please I sent you a PM

sleeknate:
Good day House, please pardon me if this has been answered somewhere in the thread. Can i acquire the PCC from the police headquarters in my state (Plateau), or i have to get it from:

Central Criminal Registry
Force C.I.D. Annex
Alagbon Close Ikoyi
Lagos
NIGERIA

Thank you in advance!

You can go to ur police headquarter in plateau. They will assist to process it from alagbon

wasseynewest:
My dear, pls giving up shld not cross ur mind at all.
Come to think of it, the score u've given doesn't outrightly make u a failure b'cos u actually passed, be-it 6/9 or 6.5. It's only that it's not enough to gather the point u need.
So needless of me saying if i were u, cos I have been tru ur exact situation, attempted IELTS 6x and finally passed. Infact i aced writing in my last 2 attempts. What u need do is relax and free urself completely from the present tension & register again. If u've done that, then we get talk ehn?

This is what is needed. Support

Jasmine17:
Go check the meaning of "relate to" and "relevant to". If they are the same, send me your account no thru pm.

You guys should stop already. You ain't making it better but worse abeg

iyke3g:
Hello all, can a test score reduce after being remarked. Thanks

I have never heard of a reduction. It's either it's the same or it increases

tysaxmalomo:
Anyone know the process for the remarking? Do I have to leave ilorin for Abuja to submit the remark request? Or i can do it all from ilorin here ?

Listening-8.5
Speaking -8.5
Reading- 7
Writing -6.5

I sent you a PM. Kindly respond

Barryston:
No no no nooo oo please you can't give up now..I totally understand how you feel but giving up is not an option...you have already written 6times+ ECA done...those efforts will mean nothing if you stop now..I wrote 4times too and I was on the verge of giving up,But I kept pushing because everyday Nigeria gave me a reason to keep pushing and I aced it at my 4th attempt...see when you aced it you will forget how much you have spent and the stress you have gone tru...the joy is unquantifiable...bro,I'm assuring you that it will turn out Good,take some time off,read everyday..don't rush to sit for the exam,And don't nurse the thought that this journey no dey work for everybody...I wish you the very best and looking forward to your ielts testimony!PRAY TO GOD FOR FAVOUR AND I WILL ALSO PUT YOU IN MY PRAYERS

Have written it two times now and my writing still read 6.5 but am not ready to give up. The stress in this country is enough to provide the push to try harder. Am giving it time but please put me also in your prayers.

NameUserNo:
I am tired! It seems the only option is to give up right now. Firstly, i started by applying to Canadian schools but I was frustrated and never got admission from the four schools I applied to.

Then, I was advised on the canadian student visa thread to focus on express entry since I have the educational requirements and minimum work experience and I took that advise. I have written IELTS general six times in the last nine months and I am stuck at writing 6.5.

The only time I got a 7 in writing, i got a 7.5 in listening, which happens to be my only listening score less than 8. I have spent my salary and savings registering for ielts and ielts lectures since I began this process and yet no head way.

I have even completed WES evaluation because I was hopeful this will work out.

The last ielts I wrote November 10th, i was quite hopeful but came out the same way. Now I can't even register even if i want to.

I put so much efforts, sacrificed my welfare and I really don't know if i can push on anymore.

It seems this doesn't work for everybody. Best of luck to everyone on this thread. It shall end in praise for you all.

Please request for a remark. God is able to turn events into testimonies. IELTS isn't a test of English knowledge really but I won't want to buttress that. Please request for a remark and also give it time. Sometimes we need time to think and refresh

Jasmine17:
@Bolded. Another misconception. You are never marked on how relevant your answer is. Capital NO.

You are marked on how you are able to present your answer relevantly.

Take a sh.it point, garnish it with good grammar and related rare vocabs, show how the point relates to the topic, minimize spelling errors, structure it well and link the sentences appropriately. You will get above 7.

If only you know the points i used in my essay, you will laugh at me till next year. Only noticed i was answering in parallel towards the end and left it like that.

Thank you for this but I think there is point for task achievement

DonTee07:
My Brother/Sister; you CANT afford to give up and I feel your pulse.

Please go for EOR and put in for a new exam. I believe you are close and will surely get it. All the best.

Thank you so much brother. Am going for the two with God. Delay isn't denial
