Guys this is my first time writing I’m so broken inside I don’t even know what to do again. Writing ielts for the 3rd time and still not making it is devastating. especially for the fact that I’m unemployed and I have to save the money everytime on my own. It’s really devastating.
1st try with BC. LRWS- 8.5, 6.5,7,8.5
2nd try with MOD LRWS- 7.5,8.0,6.5,8.5
3rd try with MOD LRWS: 8.5,6.5,6.5,8.5
This is demoralizing I have done my ECA since August just waiting on this IELTS and now I was really hoping this would be the last time but I can’t believe I have to continue this again next year. I prayed and prayed and I studied and studied still nothing. This is almost 300k wasted. Having to watch my friends that I even told about the program move on and get PPR and I’m still stuck here. � lemme just stop typing I’ve been crying since morning.

This is sad. Just don't give up. You will forget all you've gone through once you scale it.

Are you a female? Are you based in Lagos? Let's chat.

Beeps:

To all those that didn't make it this time, keep trying. I am waiting to read your testimony.

Congratulations....I like the confidence in this announcement. It's not easy jare. Wishing you a speedy process.

MJ888:
Lol. You understand me completely. Is it possible? Do you think ICES will recognise our both documents as official from the both universities in one courier package?

Honestly....I don't think they will recognize it as official o....edakun, how did transcript from University A meet University B in an envelope? How can you explain this since it's meant to get to them straight from the universities?

hiiphy:
Pls someone advise me, I had listening 8.5reading 7.5speaking 7.5 and writing 6.5. Applying alone I have a MBA, what my best bet,remarking to hope for upgrade of my writing or write complete new one?

I believe you have used the crs calculator before asking.

Remark and hope for the best...while the remark process is on, be preparing to write a fresh one. If the remark comes out positive, then you are good...if not, you would be ready to write the next ielts exam. Never give up.

All the best.

ontarioissauga:
How? Do you mean University À in Aba and University B in Lagos, get UPS to put two transcripts in an envelope?

That could be the breakthrough Nigeria is awaiting.

why are you like this na?

@edechloe.. .pls check your mail...Ve been trying to reach you

flourisher:

If he is the PA....please use some woman power and positive words to persuade him to write again....

Please IELTS writing success, I need your help in writing, I can't give up now. Anybody who can help tutor me. 2 attempt 6.5

Send a pm.

ekanDamie:
Nice tips. How long did u practice for and what was your score during the initial practice session.
And also do one get additional points for finishing way early?

Thanks. Practiced for two and half months. Scored between 32-33 during the initial practice sessions. No extra points o but at least you can use the time to check your answers and be sure you adhered to the instructions.

ricaabrams:
Good morning everyone
Please I need your help,
I have a BSc from biochemistry with a 3 years working experience, and I plan on writing IELTS by January. I have tried reading the threads but can’t seem to understand how the CLB thing works, with the qualification I have if I aim for a clb 9 (lRSW 8777) will I stand a chance? I am so sorry if this has been answered before but I’ll really like to know. Also does anyone know of a legit WhatsApp group I can join

Yes you stand a chance but to know how strong, use this : www.cic.gc.ca/english/immigrate/skilled/crs-tool.asp
Answer the questions correctly as it applies to you. When you get to the ielts score part...input the figures (lRSW 8777) then calculate your total score.
Bear in mind that the last cut off was 449 even though we pray it falls back to 440....so from your calculation, if you have 449 and above....perfect.
If not, you'ld need other legit means to boost your points. Check and ask specific questions.

For whatsapp group.....no idea.

wasseynewest:
Zingi mama, my regards to your Mr Gentle & Coded. & pls Amica, follow this advise strictly abeg. Her result gat me "wooow" when I saw it. What a small world.......smiles

Smiles.....thanks dear....he will hear....really small world.

zannie:
Pls what sites do you recommend for authentic practice tests? I've found that most practice tests I've been doing are not really close to the real thing. I've been doing the tests on ieltsonline and their listening tests are way too fast.

You can download complete ielts band 7.5, Ielts prep, Ielts Preparation-IL Free from google playstore. (A lot of practice questions here).

I used ieltsfever.com to practice maps and these two beautiful sites Ielts-mentor.com and ieltsadvantage.com. When my scores improved, i moved to ieltsonline.com to work on my speed.

God's grace.

buggi102kruse:
Plz house pardon me if my question doesn't make sense, bcoz this is where it's pressing me!

I have being practicing ielts listening for 2wks, my point hasn't shown progress, menh headache!
1. Should I use online tutors or can I get a good class to attend in PH?
2 would it be better I continue practicing alone without tutor?
Plz any advice, I will welcome, how you did it or possible way out.[/quote]You really have to learn how to be calm for you to do well in listening. I tend to be a lil bit impatient at times so listening was a drag for me during the practice sessions...i was always missing 5 or more answers because i felt the speakers were wasting my time and i couldn't wait for them to go straight to the point....guess what...just when am lost in these sort of thoughts...voila they have said the answer and i didnt hear jack.

What worked?

I took some days off and watched a couple of movies, documentaries and cnn news, just listening to what was being said.

Then i tried to remind myself to be calm and focus....focus and focus (I kept reminding myself and God that I can't afford to write this exam a second time...so help me God).

I came up with different strategies e.g
If there were two speakers Tom and Jane....i wrote their names down...then in shorthand rewrote the conversation (this way i kept myself busy writing what was being said while listening and so i didnt drift).

For the ones with answers A-F.....i realised you are given few mins before the speaker starts with that section....so i simply lifted the questions and wrote them side by side to the answers while waiting for the speakers to start talking so i can choose the right options (with this method, it was super easy for me to pick the correct answers and i didnt have to move my head up and down searching for the answers.

I also made sure that i was in a very quiet place while practicing and i timed myself. I practiced with academic test questions.

Most importantly, I prayed like there was no tomorrow...I asked for mercy, favour and for me to "see and know" the answers on that day.

Few days to the exam day, i stopped practicing...i needed my brain to relax so i could give my best on exam day....

On exam day, i reminded myself to be calm...made sure my earphones were working and chose the loudest volume, tilted my head to the position i felt i could hear best without vibrations, said a word of prayer and was calm. I came out from the exam hall excitedly telling hubby that I could hear everything.

Lest i forget, ensure you read and stick to the instructions e.g not more than three words, one word, a letter and two words etc.

Look for what makes you restless while listening and create strategies to curb them....be calm....be calm...be calm.

Steven7:
Good morning house.... I have few questions to ask... I just realized that I didn't pay the required 70CAD for the courier of my ECA only paid the 200CAD please how do I pay the 70CAD for my ECA to be sent to me? Secondly how do I get to know if or when ICES has gotten my transcript from my school?

You can send them an email to verify receipt of documents....thats what I did for hubby and they responded within 24hours....also let them know you would like to pay for courier, if it is possible at this stage, they would let you know.

Congrats @Jasmine17...Congrats @Madekay.
I have booked space to rejoice with all the IELTS smashers, ITA grabbers and PPR announcers today.

Expecting lots of good news today. Can't wait to feel all the emotions and excitement. The day just started.
May God see make it happen.

Baden18:
Hi All,

I took the IELTS exam on Oct 27th for the first time and below are my results:

Listening: 9.0
Reading: 9.0
Speaking: 9.0
Writing: 7.5

I spent less than 5 hours in total preparing for this exam and I focused only on speaking & writing as I was told those were the difficult sections.

I only watched YouTube videos and recommend the IELTS videos by Jay for writing & IELTS videos by Liz for speaking.

Also for writing make sure to use FANBOYS (For/As/Nor/But/Or/Yet/So) in addition to the complex words Jay will give you.

Good Luck!!!

Waooow....say what!!!!!!....Hearty Congratulations to you. You scatter their dada.
