My people, IELTS wants to try me oo. Wrote the 29th September BC(1st attempt) and the result just came out. LRWS 8.0,6.5,7,8.0. The thing is I was scared of the listening cos I couldn’t quite figure out the answers of a particular section(15-20), but definitely not reading. I am sure of the writing but I can dash them that one but not the reading. I was expecting a 9 or 8.5 not a 6.5. Anyways, I want to apply for a remark of the reading, please what is the process like? 4 Likes |

God is good! L - 9.0 R - 9.0 W - 7.5 S - 8.0 Sharing my story cuz of how I've learnt from others in this thread. Mine will take a peculiar route and I'll update the house. However, for now I'll share how I studied for IELTS with the hope that it might help someone too. Listening: Practice a lot. Get a hold of the Cambridge Books 1-12 and even 13 and do many practice tests. Practice concentrating cause my mind wandered sometimes, usually in between sections or at the beginning. After a lot of practice, find out which of the listening question formats gives you a hard time then focus on that one to get better. Mine was the section with a question and multiple choice long answers. I jonsed a lot answering these type of questions during practice. In the hall, don't touch the headset during the test or bend too low. Doing so will either interfere with or block the Infra-Red signal and you'll hear a scrambled sound instead of the test. I wrote all my answers in ALL CAPS; I couldn't risk small caps as my handwriting is terrible. Reading: Get a hold of the Cambridge Books 1-12 and even 13 and do many practice tests. Although it's the GENERAL we are writing, I practiced a LOT with the ACADEMIC as it's harder/complex. When I did practice GENERAL, it was a breeze. Also, time yourself as you proceed. After a lot of practice, figure out which type of questions you suck at and focus. Mine was T/F/NG or Y/N/NG - I failed them hard ![]() Finally, I read the entire passages during practice for both Academic and General. However, before my test I tried the skimming and scanning technique, and it worked too ![]() In the hall I answered in my question paper first then transferred to answer sheet later cuz of my bad handwriting. I finished Reading in 30mins then I revised my answers or the ones I skipped and transferred my answers in the last 30mins. I answered in ALL CAPS too. Writing: Honestly, this was definitely the hardest for me - I am not a fan of long story. Firstly, I finished an official free (for 1 month) IELTS LRWS online course *** even though I can't remember how I learnt about it. I also did the RoadtoIELTS that comes after you pay. Thirdly, I did a short video course *** downloadable via torrent - it taught me how to plan the different types of essays. Popular free IELTS websites also helped me too. Like L & R, it goes without saying that you should practice a lot. Now when it comes to practicing, I think the best approach is to first UNDERSTAND the Writing marking criteria for both Task 1 and 2. The criteria for both is similar but only differs in Task Achievement vs Task Response respectively. When you understand the criteria you can give them what they want abi are looking for. (Same goes for Speaking). Second step is to practice (TIMED) a lot with the criteria in mind. For writing (and speaking) it's hard to know your standing since you can't get immediate answers like L & R. What I did was to pay someone online ***, who claimed to be an official IELTS tutor, to mark some of my practice tests (Did same for speaking). Doesn't cost much. So say you have 3 weeks to your IELTS exam, you can write 4-5 letters and essays a week and get the last one in every week assessed. Practice with pencils or biros - basically whatever you prefer to write with during exam. If you can't write an essay everyday, at least practice planning an essay everyday (i.e, Intro, Paragraph 1, Paragraph2, etc , Conclusion). In the hall, every minute counts in Writing. If you are going to ease yourself during the test, it's best you do it during Reading cuz it's probably the test you'll finish on time. They won't let you out of the hall during the chill period between L & R, or R & W. I lost about 2 mins in Writing while running to and fro the bathroom ![]() The moment I started writing, I wrote down the different ways to show 'Grammatical Range and Accuracy' so that I remembered to include them (i.e. Simple/Compound/Complex Sentences, Modals, Tenses, Adverbials, etc). In Task 1, one mistake I recall was mixing up indentation with skipping a line between paragraphs. I corrected the mistake in Task 2. I didn't do well in Task 2 as I wrote well below 250 words: 220 ish words if I recall correctly. Also, my handwriting is pretty bad (like Doctor type) so I had to slow down to be legible which also added to the pressure. I also recall my conclusion paragraph was poor as I was tense, rushing and looking at the clock. Speaking: I semi-covered speaking in the Writing section. To reiterate, UNDERSTAND the Speaking marking criteria and give them what they want. Cambridge Books 1-12/13 has Speaking tests too. You already know about giving extended but on-point/topic (don't digress) answers in Part 1, speaking beyond the stipulated 2 minutes in Part 2, using Part 3 to further give them what they want and finally that lying is okay ![]() The free (for 1 month) online course *** helped. YouTube videos, free IELTS websites, RoadtoIELTS. I also paid someone, who claimed to be a former IELTS examiner, to interview/assess me; He gave me pointers/feedback and the session eased my tension - don't even understand why I was tensed about a Language I've spoken all my life ![]() To conclude, practice for L & R, understand criteria and practice for W & S, know your weak areas and improve them. While I understand that we all want to get this PR sorted, please consider your schedule and book a date that will give you time to study/practice wella. Like if you work full-time, part-time, run a biz, married, single, run a family etc schedule your test accordingly. In hindsight, I nearly made the mistake of registering in another City for the test cuz my own City had no space for a closer date - I would have performed poorly. *** I'm not sure about the rules as per what is considered advertising so I'm not mentioning any links. However you can find them and the Cambridge books here: http://www.mediafire.com/folder/60f3l4ste67tr/IELTipS Also, you should check Page One of this thread and you'll find links to Nairaland IELTS threads and other resources ...and I said I'm not a fan of long story.

I am a living proof that IELTS is not by weda u sabi book or english. It takes GOD for anyone to ace this test. I have neva failed an exam in my life prior to ielts but i failed IELTS. I lost confidence in myself when i failed the first time. My second attempt i practiced, prayed, practiced and prayed again. For the catholics please say dis prayer everyday before the test i saw it on this thread: Great St. Joseph of Cupertino who while on earth did obtain from God the grace to be asked at your examination only the questions you knew, obtain for me a like favour in the examinations for which I am now preparing. In return I promise to make you known and cause you to be invoked. Through Christ our Lord. St. Joseph of Cupertino, Pray for us. Amen. BC first attempt-- 7.5,6.5,6.5,6.5 LRWS MOD 2nd attempt---8.5,7,7,7.5 LRWS God did this!!! 55 Likes 2 Shares |

Pls indulge me, I want to rant. What is wrong with our institutions? If they must employ more hands then they should.I have being on verification stage for 3 weeks now and the only institution I don’t have a contact was the only one that has responded.... kudos to WAEC.Even with the increase number (recorded over 50,000)applicants in a month, they were still able to do their jobs without pulling a string.... All All Unilag knows is to extort and they would claim “University of first choice”..my foot! As for Lautech, I just dey observe, I would literally ask WES to remove the certificate.How can an institution that generates internal revenue from transcript ,admission and the likes claim their network was struck by thunder since last week yet they haven’t resolved the issue? And they complain the states government running them are sabotaging? What’s the difference btw 6 and half a dozen? Hmmmm, I don calm small.Na dem go tire las las. 13 Likes |
