dondanell Posted August 9, 2013 Author Share Posted August 9, 2013 I did yes As of this year, my skills assessor slashes 5 years of work experience off before they consider you as being "skilled", So I lose 5 years w/e to claim points on! So I will be doing it all over again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
travelchic Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 I couldn't access my results till 12pm Carmel. Check with the others what site they used and try that. Don, at least you know what the ya is all about now. Plus a big pat on the back for the reading. A lot of people struggle with that one. Well done.

travelchic Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 I practised listening tests every night for 2 weeks before the test. It's so easy to mess it up though. It's that simple at the beginning that you start thinking stuff like 'did I turn my straighteners off' or 'what shall I do for tea' and then bam, you've lost your place. On my listening it was about a woman phoning up an insurance co about a washer that had leaked. One of the questions was 'what ruined the floor' and i Put 'the leak'. Then after wards I realised it should be 'the water'. So easy to write in what you would use in everyday language. Debs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CML1410 Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 I think my worst one is gonna be the speaking. I didn't speak for long enough on the 2 minutes thing and she had to tell me to carry on!!!! Agh!! Not sure about the writing as well -- I think reading and listening were good though - oh I just want the blinking results now!! Put me out of my misery .......

Not sure about the writing as well -- I think reading and listening were good though - oh I just want the blinking results now!! Put me out of my misery ....... I has to be asked to continue on my 2 minute talk. Had to talk about friendship when I'd just answered all of her questions about types of friendship. Hard to not go over what had already been covered. And the stop watch. Arrrgghhh. Looking at that made me nervous. I said errrmmm loads of times. Still got an 8.5 though.

Hopefully you can help me out, I just got my results for my second attempt, I need 8's in every section but I got 7 in writing again.

Sen Posted August 9, 2013 Share Posted August 9, 2013 I got Listening 9.0, Reading 8.5, Writing 8.0 and Speaking 8.5, Overall 8.5. For the whole visa application process, I still have to wait for another two months until I get one year's work experience to meet the occupation assessment requirement.

I looked at examples online beforehand and I really don't think my attempts were that deficient. Any tips gratefully received! Sorry to hear that. I can advise you about what I did. Mine was advantages/disadvantages of after school clubs. I read the question and made notes on the question paper about what I was going to write. I wrote an opening statement telling the reader what I was going to write about without copying the question (you lose points for that). Then I wrote about the advantages of after school club I. The next paragraph was about the disadvantages of after school club. Then I wrote a paragraph about what my thoughts were. Then I concluded. Each time I wrote a paragraph I quickly counted the words and jotted the amount on the question paper. If you go under the word count you lose points. You don't if you go over. I only used words that I knew I could spell and that I undertood the meaning of. I wrote in pencil so I could erase mistakes. And I avoided slang words. Hope this helps. Maybe you could do some practice tests in exam conditions and ask someone to read them for you. Don't be put off doing it again. debs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
