Atlas Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 It was fine, better than I thought it would be. Definitely worth doing some practice exams to get the hang of the format Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozmaniac Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 Following are links to several PIO threads with heaps of info about IELTS and preparation for it. http://www.pomsinoz.com/forum/migration-issues/106001-ielts-rant.html http://www.pomsinoz.com/forum/migration-issues/194414-ielts-tomorrow-thursday.html http://www.pomsinoz.com/forum/migration-issues/204946-ielts-band-8-too-hard-iam-tradesman-my-skills-my-hands.html Also consider that there are now alternatives to IELTS for Australian visa purposes. I don't know much about any of them but it seems that PTE Academic may be a bit easier to understand than IELTS (with IELTS, you have to really know HOW to do the tests) and the tests are computer based so the test environment may be better. http://www.immi.gov.au/FAQs/Pages/how-can-i-prove-i-have-proficient-english.aspx http://www.immi.gov.au/FAQs/Pages/how-can-i-prove-i-have-superior-english.aspx Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benj1980 Posted February 22, 2015 Share Posted February 22, 2015 It was fine, better than I thought it would be. Definitely worth doing some practice exams to get the hang of the format I would echo Atlas, I had to take it twice because I gained a 7.5 when I needed all 8's. Worth going through practice papers online, when you book a test there is an online practice facility as part of your fee these days as well.
