Birch4 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Hi everyone, Well after a few years of doing a lot of talking about giving the move down under a go I have finally booked my IELTS exam :yes: for the 28th of March. My hubby and I will try to get our 189 visas and the visa agent does not think we will have difficulty although I have to get 7s in every category of IELTS for 10 points and 8s for 20 points. Without the IELTS exam I have 55 points. We have been exploring the possibility of Perth or Melbourne? I know from research that both these places are very different so I guess it comes down to where we can get jobs? We have one son aged 11. My OH is an Electrician and I am a Secondary Teacher and currently teach History and Politics. Could anyone offer advice on the job situation in either of these fields? I have ordered IELTS past papers today from Amazon and would sit the General Exam. Not looking forward to that! :arghh: Look forward to forming some friendships on here hopefully :tongue: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlas Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Good luck with the IELTS! I'm sure you'll be fine There is a lot of online practice material too, but really it's just a matter of getting to grips with the format. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Birch4 Posted February 22, 2015 Author Share Posted February 22, 2015 Hi Atlas Thanks! Yes I have started to research this again and I have been working through some exemplar papers and answers. Need to do lots of practice! Trying to take things a step at a time as there is so much to think about in this process. But nothing ventured nothing gained I guess :wink: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlas Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Keep practicing and I'm sure you'll nail it Reading and writing are probably the 2 worth spending the most time on, speaking was pretty straight forward and with listening it's just a matter of staying focused and not letting your mind wander.
