Can I create EE without TRF? I have yet to receive the TRF from BC.

You can create but can't submit, as you have to input a number from the TRF.

Does it mean that you can't change the TRF number or the scores after submitting the EE?

Yes you can modify after submit the EE.
Means you need a number that appear in the TRF to submit, nothing else.

Thanks for the reply. I already got my TRF number. I emailed BC and their reply was quite fast.

Then perfect! you can submit already.

Thanks for the wishes. I got 7.5 in the first attempt without any prep and was confident that by an hour practice I would get 8. Didn't happen. My overconfidence came back to bite me. I took things seriously between the 4th and 5th attempt with daily consistent practice. Before that I took things too lightly as for me it was just an English exam.

What did you turn around the most in writing?

I maxed out listening and speaking, reading I got 7.5 but on writing 6.5.

The second question I got was awful compared to what was I practicing against.

I'm looking to try and get a tutor for a few hours a night a week, hopefully some of it will stick but after long stressful days at work im not so sure.

My wife just took the IELTS exam in Macau today, the task 2 was something like:

"Some people prefer to have more money and less free time while others prefer to have more free time and less money.
Discuss both views and give your opinion."

Good luck to everybody who takes the IELTS this weekend!

I've just taken the test and I feel I did better than the one I took in January.

All the best for others

Did your reading module have section 3 with fishing related article?

 

[darkven91]

Yes, it had that, it was about aquaculture (fish, lobsters, prawns...Etc) and it was something related to researches funded between Australia, Japan, Malaysia and other Asian countries to increase productivity among other things.

Ahh! matching questions were very hard for me.

Ok

I will not be sharing my past attempt details, cos I think I have a broken the record of attempts. :-[

Anyways, Listening and reading were easy, and also my fortay as normally I achieve over 8 band in both, got 9 band couple of times. 8)

Writing
I am stuck with writing band of 6.5 band, though I have scored 7 and 8.5 band in writing, I am yet to figure out how I got 8.5 once ? ???

Speaking
I have always been on margin of 7 band, irony is my speaking band drops to 6.5 whenever I score 7 or more in writing.

Wow, good writing score there; it is even better than your listening score, how come?
How did you manage 7.5 for writing? Any guidance for the rest of us to tackle the writing module? - Thanks

My first attempt was on Mar 4th at L7 R8.5 W7.5 S7
