I took the IELTS and it felt like I was in prison, 3 hours with no alotted break time. I had the smallest desk. It was so small, I could not have my answer sheet, and booklet on the desk at the same time. The booklet I had in my hand. As a native English speaker from the US. It was not too bad. Although, I can see how it can be stressful for a non native English speaker. I think the hardest was the reading. I took the General Training. When I studied, I studied for Academic and GT. I actually think the Academic is easier for me, but it is because I am in the Science field. I am use to science papers, and picking apart and analyzing data. I took about a week to study. I think my advice for Native English Speakers is tons of practice test and you will be fine. focus on the Reading and writing more and your timing! The speaking and listening was a breeze! One thing I do disagree with the Pearson study book is the speed reading. I found it better to to "glance at the reading passage", and go straight to the answers and work backwards. You save a ton of time that way, and you have to go back and look for the answers in the passage anyway. No sense in reading it twice

Week 15 and positive result yay!:wink:, sending luck to everyone out there, hang in there

After 13 weeks since confirming my receipt of documents, I have received a POSITIVE skills assessment from VETASSESS today. wooooohoooooo!!!!!

 

Just got to await for the certificate to come through the post, then figure out what to do about the extra points assessment requirement!

 

Hope I'm not rubbing it in but giving some hope to those that are still waiting
