nycplanner Posted March 12, 2012 Share Posted March 12, 2012 I found that the (personally) dreaded 'True, False, Not Given' questions made up 25% of the paper, B****cks! I hope I pass! I'm sure you will! I must have had a totally different test because there was only one True/False/Not Given question on mine. Ironically, the reading portion of my test had an article about travelling to Australia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest DingDangDoo Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Guys, how much study did ye put in? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nycplanner Posted March 22, 2012 Share Posted March 22, 2012 Guys, how much study did ye put in? Not much, less than a week. I would get the Cambridge IELTS 8 Study Book to familiarize yourself with the format. The types of questions on the real exam are exactly the same as in the book so it's a good way to prepare. I didn't spend much time studying for the writing and speaking sections since I write for a living and speak fluently. I focused mostly on the reading and listening sections.

Well done on those scores, which site did you go to? I tried 2 sites but both say no results found.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nycplanner Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Thanks! I went to https://results.ielts.org -- when I entered just my surname it said "no results found" but then tried with my first name and it seemed to like that better... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It just seems it cant find mine, no results found again, did you put passport number with candidate number, or just one of them? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maruska Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 It just seems it cant find mine, no results found again, did you put passport number with candidate number, or just one of them? Hi, my husband tried 3x before the results showed, he needed to put his first name, last name, candidate number and test date. BTW he got 8 overall, we are so happy! Good luck.

nycplanner Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 It just seems it cant find mine, no results found again, did you put passport number with candidate number, or just one of them? I used my passport number. It didn't work with the candidate number. It also only seems to work with both the first and last names (and if you put your middle name on the form, include that too) on there. Maybe your test center hasn't posted the results yet?

seraphim Posted March 25, 2012 Author Share Posted March 25, 2012 Results on the doormat today (been away over the weekend!) Listening 9.0 Reading 9.0 Writing 8.5 Speaking 8.5 BUT It says overall 9.0?!?!?! Does this mean they've misprinted as I thought your overall score was the lowest individual sections score, so should be 8.5 for me? Anyone ever had the same oddity or can shed light on this for me please?! Should I call nottingham tomorrow and clarify it or IELTS directly. Don't want to submit for visa (this is the last piece before we can submit!) until I've clarified it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nycplanner Posted March 25, 2012 Share Posted March 25, 2012 The overall score is an average of the 4 individual scores, i.e. 9.0 + 9.0 + 8.5 + 8.5 = 35/4 = 8.75 (rounded up to 9.0). For immigration purposes, your lowest score is considered to be your actual score. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that gives me 80 points which should be enough for a 175! Good luck to everyone still waiting, it's bloomin' horrible and I hope you all get what you need to get the applications in!
