Nawao.so I was scammed or what? Maybe the rate was better then or so

trastar:

Gtbank

Fizzywah:

Stepo707,

9 bank statements sent as monthly statement? Dont Understand, Is it part of the requirement for the 489.

Is there any condition/thing to be noted in the bank statements?

Cc trastar, Eludua, Misoke, Stepo707, Bellong

3 payslips per year and I am 3 years in this org(2015-2017).It's requirement for TRA not the visa type

Please guys I was only able to get 4 payslips from my current organization instead of 9 payslips(for 3years). The accountant said he could not get the remaining payslips.However I have complete 9 bank statements sent as monthly statements from my bank.Will this fly for the TRA assessment?

STOWHY:

40?

Their headache

Eladua:


@trastar you see why I went with 489.

Has anyone here gotten a direct job offer from Nigeria?

idNG:


You almost achieved the golden mark of 79+ in Oral Fluency (OF) which will enable you to also achieve 79+ in speaking.
From my studies OF is more important than Pronunciation P to achieve 79+ in speaking.
I need to know your methods in achieving this. To enhance pronunciation scores you can use Tongue Twisters.

Please send me a PM let's talk.
idokxx0@gmail.com

In that case I will focus on OF. Well it's just to avoid hesitation,false starts, speak faster and at same speed thruout.

Hi guys...apart from the score card sent to our email, are we supposed to pick our result at the centre we wrote our PTE?

paulooma:
@Stepo707, Which 2 states is that?

Queensland and Tasmania

@ trastar , eladua, azy123

For the TRA form, is the salary part am to fill supposed to be monthly salary or weekly.i can see it's in dollars.
Thanks

trastar:


You are better off accessing as a hardware Technician with TRA. You will end up with 15 points for education if you go that route.
by the time ACS will reduce ur years of experience, u most likely won't have enough points to even compete with the ppl who have submitted ITA months before u and still waiting with ICT occupations.
Your HND is most likely going to be accessed as "Non ICT major" so definitely more than 6 years will be deducted from your years of experience if you use that..
However, hardware technician is only available on 489 visa.
Search this thread for "hardware technician" "TRA" "eladua". All the information you need to go that route can be found there. Good luck

I noticed there is even 190 for 2 states for hardware technician

Eladua:
Yes I did.

Boss that part in the form for employers to fill that says please include copies of any business cards or other advertising with your application.
What do I do for that part?

Also should the wordings for the job task and duties be exactly the same or I should modify the wordings?

Eladua:


I think I gave them the registrar's contact. But don't worry they have a way of contacting the school.

I would not have known they contacted the school if not that the school requested I pay for the transcript verification, so I saw the mails exchange between the registrar and TRA case officer.

Oh ok..I will give registrar then.Althouhh they did not state in TRA, did you certify all your documents as certified true copy.

Eladua:


I think trastar has answered you already. Your university is the authority and you need to give each of your employers the employer template form and also support it with at least 3 months pay slip for each year.

Take your time to read all their requirements so you don't make any mistake, TRA won't ask you for further information before making their decision o.

Ok bro.i will get all requirements before proceeding.
Which contacts so I give them for my school.my Hods contact or admin in school.am talking about the place in form where education qualification is for the contacts.

My fmr supervisor in my fmr organization has moved.can I still send the form for him to sign or I should just send it to the HR unit(am very good friends with HR manager)
Am referring to the employer template form for TRA assessment.
Thanks

bellong:


Your question is not clear. Template for what? Reference letter or payslip.

Issuing authority is whatever institution or organisation that issued your document.

Oha Bellong, it's a form that each employer is supposed to fill.its for the payslip part.But that word period confused me.

trastar:


Period of employment will mean each period u spent with each employer. Period with employer a, period with employer B. Etc. Definitely can't be each year.
.
Erm..issuing authority for ur transcript? Or degree? Shouldn't that be ur school?

Huge sigh of relief.
They gaveexample such as ministry of education...
Wonder who has assessed with TRA here.
Thanks trastar.Always helping out.Hope to be a guru also so I can help others out.
Also can one fill an EOI before TRS is done with the assessment outcome?

So I was filling the forms for TRA and I noticed a confusing statement that says " completed employer template for each period of employment"

Does the period mean each year or just any period while I was employed with the company?

Also what does name of issuing authority or accrediting authority supposed to be? Say for UI

Nice work.
For retell lecture I use the format recommended by Steven Fernandez in his book the "Ultimate Guide to PTE Academic."
This is the template I use:

-The lecture was a stimulating speech (given by the speaker)/(between two individuals) on...

-The lecture described in great detail...

- Another important point covered in the lecture was...

-In conclusion the lecture talked about...

With this method, understanding the topic sentence, giving two points from the lecture with a conclusion will effectively cover 35seconds of speaking. This means I will have more than 10 seconds preparation time and write my two points clearly before I start speaking to enhance my fluency and pronunciation which is the game changer for the speaking section.
Moreover, giving a conclusion always increases your score by at least 1 mark but it may not be possible in all scenarios as it is far worse to be cut off in mid sentence.

And from studies I think Read Aloud and Describe Image also carry alot of weight to Speaking Score.
I usually make mistakes in Read Aloud and that's what I want to work on.

Please let us know the result of your mock test.
Shalom!

You are right about the retell lecture part.I have a format from jay though just that cos am writing the points too fast i hardly can comprehend them to put into sentence....what i discover from the mock test i wrote now is that i have to speak more fast.speaking fast is the key as it will help your fluency score...i has 67 as fluency score and 30 as pronunciation...my speaking socre was 58 which is the least from all i have done so far due to the various mistakes i highlighted....if you go to that ptestudy.com, you willl see ploads of ractise questions and most of them i saw in real test...They also have answers for them

Here is good https://ptestudy.com for loads of real practise and answer. infact i saw 5 of the questions that were given to me in describe image there.also some questions from reading...in other words pte uses past questions a lot...just to practise from this sites.

idNG:


Please does anyone have 40manlappy's contact? Please share with us.

His wife is in the best position to tell us how to improve on speaking especially after previous attempts were unsuccessful.

i just did moct test just now...Here is what i observed especially for the retell lecture part.I wrote most of the points but because i was writing too fast, my writing was not so clear and so i could not retell properly as it gave me some few hesitations and i was just talking without looking at the time and so i could not give conclusions and the one that i gave conclusion, i got cut off while talking.am sure it will have an effect on my grammar.
Also for describe image, i was talking too much on content instead of just giving the main trends...i could not give conclusion...its important to give conclusion.am sure it will ahve an effect on my grammar score as well but i was more confident than previous test i did.

So i guess the more you practise the mock test, the better confident you are.Also i was more faster in the reading aspect.

Azy123:
I need someone to enlighten me too . I'm still battling with it.

Good luck in our pursuit.

Hahahahahhaha.make Dem just give person 79.make person carry go

Bamz:


I have taken my first test. My result is very funny considering I was expecting 79+ in Reading and Writing.

Listening 63
Reading 83
Speaking 68
Writing 67

Oral Fluency 63
Grammar 78
Pronunciation 49
Spelling 90
Vocabulary 90
Written Discourse 79

PS. I did not finish Listening maybe that was accounted for my low scores but the score for my Writing is debatable. I've never scored less than 79 in Writing even in mock tests.

cc: afolaseg

Oh no.whay happened in your listening and writing? Some tasks in listening contributes to your score In Writing though.Tou need to identify your weak areas.Am redoing mine again in about a forthright to work on speaking.Reading it was the time that messed me up.so I need to be fast henceforth.
So you need to identify your weak areas and work on it.obviously you need to work on being faster.The earlier you redo, the better since all the methods you used are still in your head
