Mr Jamland

Still available if anyone interested :-)

Bump :biggrin: someone must want a rental near Adelaide ;-) great for families right opposite a kindy.

Apologies if this is the wrong part of the forum. We are breaking lease on our rental home mid August. 4 bed, good sized rumpus, spa bath, swimming pool, 4kw solar, plus solar hot water so practically 0 electricity bills and gorgeous views to the rear. We get Koalas a few times a year too and we can see kangaroos in the distance. This will also be a private rental so no agents to deal with, and they're great landlords. Home is roughly 243 meters square in size on an 879 block. Inbox me for more.

Oh dear, am I supposed to do the Police checks and medicals now? We don't have a CO yet.

I think I sent a copy of the reference letter, but I really can't remember now.

I may be wrong, but if you have achieved 8 in each component over 4 different test, can't you claim your over all 8? I thought you could use scores from different tests. However, I could be wrong.

And you may be worrying unnecessarily yet too :-)

In the writing, were you trying to write from experience or just making it up? I find it harder to make the story from my own experience, or express my own views (especially if I don't have a view on a subject) so I made it all up, and gave views of others I've heard talking or at work.... who cares, all IELTS want to know is you can write well in English. I don't mean to criticise, but you don't use many commas, which is where I would say you may be lacking. Your spelling appears to be fine so no problem there. I can't really talk about the commas too much, as my written English isn't all that great. A great book I used is called Common mistakes at IELTS Advanced ...and how to avoid them, by Julie Moore. It's not expensive and available on Amazon. It's not one I'm going to sell, as it's that good. I also used the official IELTS material too, but they only show bad examples written by foreign students. They do have a model answer on some of the tasks though. It's not just about grammar and spelling, but answering the question and not veering off the subject.

The one thing which got me concerned, was I forgot to put TRN in front of our TRN number on the form 1100 when I generated it from SA Gov.

Is that the equivalent of arriving in Aus, and getting the Visa validated?

I've not been asked for payslips yet, but would I be better uploading 12 individual payslips, or making one document? Mine are all electronic PDFs now anyway.

I'm not totally convinced, I thought some questions carried more weighting than others.

Good luck tomorrow people.

I struggled to give an answer in one part and I'm sure I never spoke for the full 2 minutes, and I still got a 9. Don't stress it too much. I found the listening and writing the hardest, as I struggled to make up the BS for writing.

We lodged last night, and I'm still worrying if I'm uploading the right docs. If I'm using one document for say 2 pieces of evidence, do I need to upload it twice under the different headings?
