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

I couldn't sleep kankan, been refreshing the page but showing result not found, I just enter gentle mode, didn't want to talk too much, I was just liking all the posts on this page without even reading and worse still you people were unusually quiet yesternight so nothing to engage me, the tension no be here o but now, the journey looks real to me.

First attempt BC
Overall Band:8.0
Listening: 8.5
Reading: 9.0
Writing: 7.0
Speaking: 7.5

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).



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

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

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.

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

Hello All, seeking advice here.
I and my partner about to do our ECA. Both of us finished from different universities, but plan to send our sealed transcript envelopes (addressed to ICES) in the same courier package to avoid paying two courier fees. I don't know if it will fly and be accepted by ICES as coming directly from our respective universities.
Thanks guys for your anticipated response.

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.

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.

If they don't want to move or haven't seen the need, no amount of preaching and screenshot grabbing will work. Until they get to a turning point or never.

Make they no go send that thing by themselves oh. It may backfire resulting to cash and time losses.

Pls do so asap. All the best!

Wow! This is really touching. So happy for you, whatever the Lord does is perfect. I wish you God's speed in the rest of the journey. Congratulations!!! The truth is that who no go no know.

@flourisher, you are the real MVP. I'm in awe of the effort you put into this. Thank God it was crowned with success. Wow. And one man who gets home to cross leg and eat already prepared dinner will come and say they can't read page one because they don't 'have time'.

Congrats to all those who made it today. And please no giving up if your result wasn't favorable.

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?

Plsssssss don't let him give up abeg! Am still in shock here with this wow result but giving up will only waste this huge brilliance.

HI. That will not be accepted by ICES. It's stated clearly on their website. The transcript must be sent by each university and you must show no sign that it has been handled by you.

"These documents must be sent directly to ICES from your educational institution or educational authority.
For a document to be considered official, it must meet the following standards:
1. Mailed from educational institution directly to ICES office
2. Document has never been handled by client, client’s friend or relative
3. Bears proper seals, signatures, and postal markings"

Check https://www.bcit.ca/ices/eca/requirements/

While you are trying to save cost, there's no way you can send the two transcripts together without making it obvious you have handled the documents. Cheers.

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?
