Does anyone here have any information regarding the IELTS exam?

babsharon:
You can only take the exam in their Lagos centre which is BRITISH COUNCIL IKOYI and it has 4 part just like TOEFL and I think the average pass mark is around 5.5 or 6.0 of each section.
The cost of the exam is just 35k and you can easily do the registration yourself without using an Agent. It is preferable †̥o take IELTS test here if the school can waive it for TOEFL and I know must schools do that once you мαкє enquiry.

lisadem:

guess you meant you will be going to Illinois via Minnesota Go have some fun dear but c'mmon you will see much more tourist centres in Chicago...


Thanks for the clarification omo iya

Graviton: my schools said they don't mind me taking the IELTS.

@bolded, I searched their site. They seem to allow exams to be written in P.H, Lagos, Ilorin, Ibadan and Abuja

babsharon:
Check My post. I said their Lagos centre

Graviton: oh!, sorry

I'm actually in Owerri, I'm thinking of writing the exam in P.H.

A bird told me the speaking section entails been interviewed, how true is this?

Kunlebal,,pls do u still need to fill d sevix I-901 form online if u will pay tru Western union in cotonou,,

Ok, ill be honest with you. Normally, the actual balance in the account won't lead to a denial if the account history shows active transactions that can guarantee the sponsor will meet his obligations.
Anyway, that is not your main issue. Firstly, do you have the same last name as your uncle? If not, strike one.
Second, how many dependents does he have? The VO would like to know how he'll be able to take care of his family and then cough out millions on his "nephew"
Are any of his kids abroad? If not, why sponsor you?
To be honest all the documentation in the world wont change the issues raised. You have to be compelling but I'm afraid you have an uphill battle

FutureDon:

Yes you are right, you get to talk to the examiner one-on-one unlike the TOEFL where you have speak to the computer. Moreover, the questions on speaking section are usually cheaper (that's if you don't have ''interviewphobia'', lol). For instance, you might be asked to talk about the favorite toy you had, why the toy was special to you e.t.c.

There is a plethora of practice questions on this website (ielts-exam.net). My Toefl scores expired few weeks ago and was compelled to take IELTS due to deadline constraints. With experience on taking both tests, I would say the IELTS is way easier than the TOEFL. Be sure to take many practice tests and you would be fine. I wish you luck!

WHIZBRO: Nigerians going to test in Benin Republic, make una sorry o. I took some people to test there today in my 1972 SEAT, wetin I see I go come type.

WHIZBRO: Well I took some of my people for TOEFL @ ESCAE University, don't be fooled by the name it is not as big as the division of student affairs office of the University I graduated from (Great Ife!!!!).
We got to the gate of the centre around 9, The guys passport was requested, we provided it, with the gate still locked they took the passport to their 'passport' expert to verify the 'originality'. We were allowed in and given a form to fill and suddenly this girl came out and said we can't allow you to test, there was a reason all the centres in Nigeria were shut, 'you people' should not come and shut this place o.
Na so I vex, told her if she was not proud of her African blood she can drain it and have caucasian blood transfused into her, used some expletives, but my hand come fall as upto 7 nigerians were not allowed to test because they came with obviously fake passports or have tested somewhere else in Benin R with another passport under another name.
On the overall, My guys tested but I can tell you upto 3 Nigerians mercenary out of 7 test takers, (some I know from earlier times) wrote with names other than their Birth names that I know. Whether they did change of name I do not know?
But to save yourself a heartache, If you are going to test in Benin, Go with an alternate ID. From your skul, work, church or Ogboni.
I do not need to tell you Naija's reputation is in tatters, sadly it is not due to 'external' forces but our doing.




Food for thought; A guy I knew to be Ayo wrote for Iloka yesterday.... Water don pass Garri

Graviton: Chai!!!

Nigeria! We hail thee!!

Aren't these guys tired of ruining our name. Whizbro, your narration of your ordeal is but a tip of the iceberg plate of fufu, if you'll forgive my saying so.

In a basketful of apples, few maybe tainted but they eventually give the others a rotten stench. Two years from now getting a visa to the US might require investigation of how you passed your standardized tests, you might walk in and solve some maths problems or giving meaning to esoteric English vocabularies ( don't say I didn't say this)
