I wrote my ielts academic yesterday in portharcort. The reading and listening test was good for me. Although I completed my writing task, there was not enough time for me to revise my work. I'm scared there are mistakes I would have corrected. I just need a band of at least 7 in all sections. Is there any one with similar experience? What was the outcome? Pls share

Put your faith to work and hope for your desired band. ��

Hi guys,

I took my computer based test on Saturday Dec 10, got my results today.

I paid a week before the test because a school demanded the result after giving me ission, so I had one week to prepare. I did what I usually do when I need information urgently, visit Nairaland cheesy

I saw some links to prepare here but I focused on the study materials on the British IELTS site for TEST TAKERS, I did all the practice and test for 3 days, then I paid $5 on ieltsbuddy website and I practised the listening and reading tests only.

I also watched some youtube videos esps IELTS Liz cos she was mentioned on this thread. At the end, I couldn't prepare much because I work from 8am to 9pm daily and I get home tired.

I aced it on my first try. But I have to say that I am pretty good at using words and I have a blog so English doesn't scare me. I had issues with the speaking test because I am an introvert and talking for like 20 minutes non-stop was too much for me, but thankfully, I ed that too.

If anyone needs any help, I am here. And I appreciate everyone that dropped tips on this thread cos I saw what to expect and I realize that following the rules and reading instructions goes a long way.

I requested for a remark for my IELTS academic writing test since December 7th, however, nothing has been done till now. I am worried because of my application deadlines which I have to beat on Jan 1st. British council should do better with paper based test remarking. I know they said wait between 2-21 days for response. But hey, it's awfully too slow and takes too long.

Wow. Thanks for this info. Will try that also. Only that no BC office in Benin City. Did they say what the cause was though? It’s very unprofessional of them.

Apologies for the late response.

They didn't say anything about the delay and I didn't ask because quite frankly, I was just relieved to have my results. If you have not gotten your results up till now, not so sure but I think you can book an appointment and have someone go to the office on your behalf so you don't have to come by yourself. One of us on this thread I chatted with did this.

Have you heard of Nexford university?
It is an American University that offers 100% online degrees, notably MBA and BBA.
Tuition payment is monthly and enrolment starts at the beginning of every month.

A little birdie just whispered to me. Let me explain before telling you the secret. For Nigerians, FX payments can be really frustrating but Nexford always has a way of making life easy.

Many learners have been paying their tuition fees through Sterling Bank at a rate of 480 Naira to a Dollar. Right now, that is Gold.

Now, let's get back to what the little birdie said. If you enroll this December, you get to continue paying with 480 Naira as the exchange rate. Starting January 2023, this rate will be updated to 620 Naira to a dollar. Enroll now and save 30%.

Procrastination is the thief of time. Click the link below and fill out the form to get the course brochure, then proceed to your application. All can be done from the comfort of your smartphone.

Head on to Telegram and search "Nexford University Students (Blog)". Here, you can ask questions and get updates on the latest.

Pls ask whatever you need to ask here. I just think I also did not gain anything from people who went to the DMs or to WhatsApp. If not for people who put info on this thread, I would have failed.

Pls ask me anything here so others can gain from it. Thanks
