      When to call it quits????

      By Donovan83 · Posted

      Even back in 2011, IELTS was a scam. It was amazing how they managed to give me just 0.5 of a point off to get enough points... twice. Given the amount of money they scam out of people, it's bizarre that they have all their exams in the Joburg CBD... I sat and wrote my exam watching some members of the EFF marching across the Nelson Mandela bridge... at least it was affirming to me that the pain was worth it

      Hi there Luckytobethere
       
      Hope that you are well.
       
      I saw, while on the hunt for some clues, tips or resources to pass this Ielts. Without the whole singsong of it: I need to apply for a NESA registration in Australia in order to teach over there. I have the actual 489 grant and need to start getting into work again quite soon. I am at my wits end with this process and the Ielts as well. I am going to write the computer based test again on the 30th October and need L8, R7, W7,S8, the last score i got was 7, 8, 6, 9.  I have bought the full volume of the Cambridge tests as well, I have bought the Udemy package as well and I am continuously practicing on the Online Computer Ielts site. I have also been using Ielts liz. If there is any way that I can write a topic 2 essay for you to get some guidelines that would be greatly appreciated.
       
      Kindest regards

      Hi there.  We have already submitted the Form 80, PCC and Medicals as requested for our 143 visa (application dated Sept 2015).  On 15 July our son submitted all the info required for the AOS and was told they should have a decision by 21 August.  We have still not heard anything and on enquiring, he was told we just have to wait. On his Mygov account, it states "on hold". Any idea how long this could take?  Also, should we have an 'Immi' account at this stage? I wasn't successful when trying to open one.  Your advice is greatly appreciated.
