@ wxyz123

Looking at the material you got, you seems to be better resourced than me and I feel that all that you have is more than enough for anyone to get a good score.

So would it be possible for you to share it with other members?
There may be some who don't have this material and are about to face the exam.

@ EnvioZA
My best wishes to you...I hope you'll soon see your credit card charged.
Contrary to other charges, it's the charge anyone will be very happy to see in his or her credit card statement.

Good luck and I am sure you'll make it.

regards

hi rana!

i downloaded ielts 1 to ielts 7 from internet also insight into ielts and 101 tips of ielts but i don't know how to put it as a link so others can click and download it. its saved as rar file on my desktop.

my suggestion to others is google download ielts free and you will get a link to download a torrent then ielts itself. i did that some time ago and i have forgotten to be honest how to download exactly. i think i also downloaded some software when i tried to download a torrent but it all happens automatically and its not difficult.

i am not a computer expert but if i can do it i am sure others will also.

thanks

Got my result today

Listening 8
Reading 7.5
Writing 7.5
Speaking 8
Overall Band 8

To tell you the truth, I was worried over my writing part but ALMIGHTY saved me on all fronts.
I thank HIM with my folded hands and head down.

Another purpose of writing this e-mail to all fellows here is that I've many soft (pdf) files of IELTS preparation material, which I sourced
from internet and good fellows like you.

I didn't purchase any book for the exam as the material that I had was more than enough to prepare.
Since "sharing is caring", I'd like to share all of my material with aspirants over here..!!

I'll soon upload zip files on "big file transfer" (including mp3 files for listening practice) and share the link with all of you.
Even if I am able to help a single person, it'd be a repay to all those helped me.

regards

Dear Rana,

Appreciate your gesture, I will be taking my IELTS on Dec 4, and would certainly require your "files" to practice!

cheers!

@Andrea45,

You can check the result online also prior to receiving the result on a paper.
I know the link of my center as we were told about it during the exam....

I guess since IELTS follows a standardized pattern, you can also check it on-line
You need to put your student ID (given before the exam, Applicant ID details, DOB and exam date)

 

[Andrea45]

OK. THANKS

@wxyz123,

I guess the time is running short for applicants. Lets make it a bit fast.

The process is very simple.

Just google any website offering free uploading. E.g I used TransferBigFiles.com as they offer 250MB free space.
Also it'd be better if you cteate your own account to use it as & when requiredin future also.

Now for a particular set of material like IELTS 1, 101 etc. simply zip its respective files and upload at the website.
Later on, simply share the link with all candidates. You can also put e-mail ID of receiver who will directly get the link to download the material.

Keep in mind that you need to remove the earlier material before uploading the new one (the max. free capacity is 250 MB).

I hope it helps.

@ Rana,
You have sent your application? If not, when you are planning to send ? Hope you have gathered all the documents needed by this time.
Let us know ur update pal.
cheers.

 

[mr_rana]

Feeling a little bit helpless at the moment..!!

My transcripts from India are still awaited, they are on the way to me (I live in Bangkok, Thailand).
I was not sure if notarized transcripts will be accepted as it is clearly mentioned to give transcripts in a University sealed envelope.

That's the only set of doc. I am short of it and it's keeping me to hold back.

All is now at the mercy of Postal now.
I hope I get them soon, rest all is ready..!!

 

[EnvioZA]

@ Rana,
I see. I guess you provide what you have but be sure to include a letter of explanation that transcripts could not be obtained as asked due to following reasons.
Hope this will help.
May god help you with the rest.
Regards friend.

Writing Tips:

Part A) A letter (formal/informal)
I followed the following pattern in the main body that covered the word limit
1. What has happened? (E.g. Failed to attend meeting)
2. Describe the situation (how it happened; got struck in the traffic, car broke-down etc.)
3. What do you want now? (E.g. Need to be allowed to attend next meeting)
4. How to do that (E.g. Send meeting invitation to concerned members and taking their consent etc.)

Task 2 (Essay)
- Imagine the topic in your mind, give it a life and then and write the key expression/gist of the
structure of essay in the first 5 min
- This will help to make the flow of essay (opening to conclusion) in a smooth and well connected way.


2 Golden rules:
- Focus on range of words but above all, be mindful of SPELLING MISTAKES..!!
Simple expressions but free of spelling mistakes will fetch better marks than high vocab. but full of spelling errors.
- Use self-made example to support any fact (All examples those I've mentioned above makes fact realistic and connects the reader to the real situation)
- Break the paragraphs, make the job easier for your examiner to check and mark you happily.
Long paragraphs makes task tough for the marker and I am sure it annoys him.

Whatever I have written above are very obvious ways but they slip due to mounting pressure of meeting the word limits with in 1Hr.

Hope it helps.

Speaking Test:

If you find no one to practice with you, stand in front of a mirror and pick any very-e general topic.

The issue with Speaking is that topic looks too simple to answer.
E.g. One of my topics was which toy I liked the most in my childhood, who gave me that and why I liked it?

Now for a Corporate working person nearing 35, it'd be rather easy to talk about market, business or even political issues but not toysssss..!!
It sent me into tizzy for a while...but I picked it up as I imagined my Son in my mind and I used his moments of life to frame the answers.

I don't think that I did very well due to my over confidence because my job profile is highly interactive.
Too simple sometimes becomes a hard nut to crack.

Final tips-
- Maintain a reasonable smile.
- Look into interviewer's eyes as much as possible
- Try to make a human connection and 2-way conversation with your interviewer.
E.g. before giving your opinion, you can start like following
"I hope you'd agree that.....
"I am sure you can understand that

And one can even dare to ask a question to the interviewer, but it must be relevant to the topic to showcase one's confidence.

The most easy way is requesting him to repeat the question as you didn't get well OR You can repeat the question asked BUT in a different way/words and ask him confirm whether or not you understood the question rightfully??

.........similarly there can be other tricks/ways to make conversation more conducive and lively.

I still feel it could have been more smooth and structured but it's another matter that I got 8 in speaking.

Hope it helps
