SonalChauhan:

Alphadoor:
Does anyone have PTE voucher for sale.

@zoew. congrats on the ITA

@lalazo Congrats on your Grant.

ItsYourFriend:
lol at my Moniker! Thanks anyway. Kindly state the cost of application for spouse.

jayooh:
Or the other way round, NSW for 190 oand any for regional 489?
Guess you are writing what you don't mean.
No implication though, was just asking. Learnt it's better to specify states when filling out the forms, perhaps it aids quick selection .who knows?

oluolu23:
please have been willing to ask. can a weac certificate holder and a trade test certificate apply understand any of these programs. if yes .... what are the things I need to know about and things to do. then again..... what are my chances. your contributions are highly welcome sir and ma.

jayooh:
Hope you selected specific states?
Did u select specific regions or you just threw it open?

bellong:
I don't understand..

However, from your point I know, you should apply for state nomination pending when you get a desired score in English.
You still need an English test for state nomination.

jayooh:
Why not submit for your state nomination first pending when you take your PTE? Maybe NSW, your invitation might just come in time. Or have u?

Alphadoor:
At this point..

Its time for all us to work harder to boost our points to at least 70............

this ITA drought needs to end

jayooh:
Especially 65 pointers? We need to know if the minimum point invited is coming down.

diggy4real:
Aiming 20points, but will have to wait a little longer if it doesn't happen now.

diggy4real:
Congrats on your outcome. On the contrary, engineering technologist is more competitive than mechanical engineering because of their limited number of slot. Getting a 70point now will only keep you on the queue for a while as an engineering technologist, whereas a 70 guarantees you an ITA as a mechanical engineer in the next available round( let me say today) even if you lodge your EOI this morning.

Michaelamo:
Have you done the mock test?

yungmin:
Bro congrats, but do you know why you have been assessed as engineering technologist?

Michaelamo:
A very big 15 points, congrats bro and do like oga Bellong has suggested. Na all of us won show PTE this month

bellong:
^^^ Now I understand..

You don't need to waste money for 5points. Hit a 20 point score in English and you will be good.

Were you in Banji's class?

bellong:
To have a shot at early invitation, you need to hit 20 points in English to attain 75points.. as it is

Age: 25
Qualification: 15
Experience : 15
English: ?

What is your occupation? You finished from Ife, how come you wrote a CDR worth an Engineering technologist?

spyroxy1:
I am also in the same situation oo. My assessor keep asking me of third party.. I have giving him my tax clearance and online verification. He just sent me an email again.. although my Tax did not cover all the years i'm trying to claim, I intend claiming my NYSC year because I can say I started work that year as I was retained in my company and I have spent 7 years (my NYSC year makes 8 years).

If I can do this, I will make 15 points (abi?).
My company did not register us (new employees) until 2011. SO using Tax and pension is out of it for for 8 years claim.

My Bank statement can only show seven years since my NYSC was paid

pro1718:
Spyroxy1 , Did your assessor comment on your statutory declaration? What is the content of the SD you used like, and if you added reference letter with it as option 3 suggests?
I intend obtaining SD from my boss but don't think I can get reference on letterhead to add to it.

Besides, if one has reference letter why going for SD, I am trying to understand the meaning of option 3.
Please do update us.

pro1718:
Please has any one used statutory declaration with 3rd party supporting doc to claim exp points from ea successfully, how did you put them together ? The 3rd option thing in MSA booklet is somehow.

Please anyone with info on gaining work experience points with declaration from Engineer Australia ?
I really want to be somewhat sure of my documentation approach so that I can as well use them for EOI thereafter .

Thank you.

afolaseg:
Hi spyroxy1, Any update with your PTE mock exam? have you written it? how was your performance and which component are you having issue with?

diggy4real:
@Mama bought the voucher, yet to fix a date ooo....still doing "check and balance"- I mean more preparation. Hopefully, before nextweek runs out.

mamajaz:
Diggy4real, how was your PTE-A?

chidike:
Wow, been reading from page 320, my people I hail. Big ups to everyone, been a long while with no grants, stay positive it'll come. I just wanted to say that it is very important to front load all your docs, CO contact can prolong your application. I know someone with 70 points got CO contact twice in 4 weeks, his last contact was in April, he has not heard back from them or received grant since then. I front loaded and was lucky to receive my grant in 9 days without contact, just my advice.
Also, for those who may not know, your Australian PR gives you automatic PR status in New Zealand on entry. I'm working towards relocating by late August, I've applied for jobs and done some skype interviews - hoping for the best, its not a bad idea to try to get a job before leaving, if you can...it will surely end in praise for us all.

@jorgan
Keep trying bro, it will be alright next attempt.

Summarize Text (30-40 w): Following A who did what type format to write
Or
Divide and Conquer - That's how you do it !

Here's a trick some people used. If there are 3 paragraph in the summary text article, They made one line summary of the 3 paragraph and then joined them together or made a summary of the summary.

Describe Graph: following a format/ template.

Tips number 1. You don't need to describe everything. Content doesn't matter, but Pronunciation and Oral Fluency. It is impossible to explain everything in 40s, hence worry about your Flow and Pronunciation.

Template:

Introduction: 10 s

This graph/bar chart/pie/etc shows the (chart name) from (this year) to (this year) or (over this certain year) or similar depending on the question.

Body points: 20s

Choose any point you like, it doesn't matter if you leave the most important data, just don't stop talking. For example, you can say,

1. the maximum is this.
2. the minimum is this

That's just the simplest of example, you can say a variety of that.
That's 2 points, you can also say more points if you have time.

Conclusion: 10 s

Most people don't say conclusion and hence lose marks. It is one of the most important thing. Official guideline say you should try give a conclusion.

You should definitely use either Overall or In conclusion to start the conclusion with so the computer understands you are saying a conclusion.

e.g. In conclusion, the trend shows its rising, or In conclusion, A is always higher than B, etc.

Most important: Don't correct yourself if you make a mistake - it's quite hard as it's our habit to do so, just say the next word, even if its xxxxxxxxxx, just keep on talking : Yes this tip is from Pearson. Computer doesn't care what you say, but how you say it !!!

AlphaT1:
Nimasa is a top notch govt parastatal, it's almost impossible to get retained there after service! Nigerdock would be better for you!

Demoore:
You're welcome. Time flies
