Getting married soon

roblance:
Hello house, kindly help with this

My gf and I want to start our application soon. Since we are not yet officially married, is it better for her to use my surname or her maiden name from the onset of application? Or she can still use he maiden name since her maiden name is still on her passport.

As per my moniker which have always believed in... But after my 4th attempt at Ielts on Saturday which I thought will be my last,I think am being affected in a negative way psychological.... My experience based on my standard during that exam wasn't good and though I started having a loss of confidence prior to the exam which I thought I would recover from but in actual fact I never recovered through out that exam... Spent lots of of money already with my ECA ready since last month....I am getting tired, demotivated,exhausted and starting to doubt my ability(Never been through this before considering the exams have sat and passed in time past)...And each time the thought of IELTS comes up and that I never got to achieve passing that exam this year despite all have done I just doesn't feel happy...

Hope you will be able to get your desired score?

My e-family! I passed my Ielts o, I PASSED!

NaGodwino!

I doubted myself a week to the exam, I have an extremely demanding job (7-4.30), two boys (3.4 n 1.5) with no help (hubby stays in another state and came home the night before my speaking test).

Thanks to God almighty, I used the study materials on page 1, I chose advantage by Chris and the material that came with the registration.
I made dinner immediately I return from work (if you greet me pass 5sec after close of work, I will politely tell you I have an appointment), fetched water (yes, pumping machine decided to spoil then smh), washed school uniforms, did homework (I had to warn the teacher, omo reduce the homework or you do it by yourself o) cajoled the kids to eat and sleep before 7pm (my toddler is still nursing, so that gets him to sleep faster, though stressful for me, for my 3yr old, I just pretend I am sleeping and after his numerous activity, he gets bored and sleeps off- sometimes, I also end up sleeping off lol).

So, I studied from 7pm-9pm (non-church service days, stopped attending mid-week service the week before exam (church days 8-9)), slept till 12, then studied from 12-5am to go make breakfast, walking like a zombie (most times, I complete my dressing up @ work, shebi na to come early, wu fashion parade hep?). I did all the practice on the website that Chris and BC recommended except the writing- did about 4 writing practice tests I wasn't 100% confident in what I learnt, so, I felt I needed to read more. I used my husband for the writing practice, whenever he chats me about work or anything, I will respond with either a formal or informal task 1 essay (e.g. I wrote an unsubmitted letter of complaint to the bread seller that sold him spoilt bread stating when and where he purchased, method of payment, emotions and the action needed lol, he had to beg me to stop correcting his statements). Then on weekends, I would send him my task 2 essay and he would mark and correct, whatever he says, I would paraphrase using a different but exact in meaning word and restructure the statement

So, I had 3 hrs sleep @ home, 30 minutes sleep @ work (during lunch time) and occasional dozing offs @ work. Boy I had headache but I lost the extra weight, someone begged me to recommend the drug I was using to shed weight lol.

My speaking was quite short and I lied no be small (well its called fiction). My examiner was speaking Yoruba ponbele while I was at the door and immediately I stepped in, she turn Oyinbo, DiarisGodo. I spoke on the song I like and the only song I could remember was Asa. I couldn't remember any other song in the whole wide world! I kukuma talked about the song and I am sure the examiner knows the song cos she was looking at me in a funny way like you know I don't believe you right? Wetin consan me and it took her a lot of effort to be professional lol (I said Asa lifts my spirit, identifies with my personality, ah iro yen po! abi when I didn't know what to jot down within first 5 secs, I turned to fiction o). In the Part 3, I made sure I used a lot of past, present and future tenses. I knew I did well though I didn't give my absolute best and I really trusted God for a miracle.

On the exam day, just as someone here said, I met two people I least expected, I used the restroom about thrice, the last time was to dance before the writing cos I was getting nervous. The listening was quite clearer than I expected, the part where the PhD student was talking about his future plans was what got me confused. Reading was bam, finished in 33 minutes, read over like 10 times. For writing, I spent extra time on task 1 about 24minutes before I borrowed myself brain. For task 2, I supported that giving gifts is better than other methods of showing we care and gave examples and detailed explanations. I didn't vary my vocab as much as I learnt cos the time was fast ticking. I read each sentence, paragraph and the entire tasks twice (Please write in pencil and edit your work). I was optimistic, I prayed, fasted, confessed and believed God.

God is faithful! If I can make it, then I believe you don't have any excuse

Should i ask for a remark? or register for another?

rhemagrace:
All your school needs to do is send a scanned copy of your certificate along with your transcript in the verification mail. It's not difficult or complicated.

Sandydav:
Wes verifies cert but I don't know how many of us sent cert verification. Unn charges 10k each for both of them, so what I and many other super lions/lionesses here did was to pay for only transcript verification and that served for both. So stop stressing. Get your school to verify just the transcript, except they are insistent on you paying for that if not Wes is okay with that. Or has your transcript been verified and cert still says awaiting docs

michaeladesiyan:


I'm dbouting them too o. Or how can one overcome this?. I like them cuz of my case, I got NCE and HND.

Debsify:
WES ask verification for both transcript and certificate

MummyJaygirls:



they have always verified

dubajek:
Really. I forwarded mine to them on Tuesday
