Dear Ieltsmates,
As I promised last week to give some information and advices regarding the exam, here are some of them:
1- DO NOT FORGET TO BRING YOUR ORIGINAL PASSPORT.
2- Be there at 8:00 o'clock. The entrance to the exam hall will start between 8:15 to 8:30. During this time you will have the chance to check your seat number, relax, see your classmates, have some tea or juice and eat some snacks _ already provided in the waiting hall for free_ and you can go to the toilet as well.
3- Sit on your chair and take a deep breath. After some time, the fear of the exam's place and environment will have dwindled.
4- Approximately; at 8:40; the instructions of conducting the exam will be declared by the exam's supervisor. You will be asked if the voice is adequately loudly or need to be raised up. LISTEN CAREFULLY TO THE EXAM'S INSTRUCTIONS AND REFLECT THEM ON YOUR ANSWERING SHEET. IT IS RELATED TO WRITE YOUR NAME AND SEAT NUMBER IN THE ALLOCATED PLACE ON YOUR ANSWERING SHEET.
5- At 8:55; the listening exam module will be distributed to you. The exam's supervisor will instruct you not to turn the paper over until 9:00. It is a battle, so you can turn the paper over to see its contents, but remember: you are not allowed to be caught.
6- Finally, the exam will run as you will have run it with Tony on 22nd May. The listening will be followed by one hour for the reading and another hour for the writing. You have to remember Tony's advices and recommendations to answer the questions.
7- The speaking module will be conducted later during the same day on the British Council and you will be given a paper to inform you about your attendance time to the BC. DO NOT FORGET TO BRING THIS PAPER WITH YOU FOR THE SPEAKING TEST AS IT WILL DETERMINE WHICH ROOM NUMBER YOU ARE GOING TO CONDUCT THIS TEST AND WHO WILL BE YOUR ASSESSOR.
All the best for all,
Firas

thank you indeed Mr. firas for thes presiou informations, and i hope that you wil get a high mark.
pray for me since my exam is on 24th may.
Firas, mate, you are a star!
Thank you for 'setting the scene' regarding the 'big' day!
Indeed, there is "nothing to fear, except fear itself"!
I tend to do Reading before Listening on the IELTS practice day, because somebody will always come late. Punctuality is vital on the actual IELTS day.
I know what i-community19 are thinking, Firas, they want to know if you got 'ambushed' in any of the papers. Did you run into any unexpected problems in any of the modules?
We hope and pray that your results reflect the hard work that you put into your course, these weblogs and your self study in the Learning Zone.
Standing by for good news, In Sha Allah, for you on 24 May!
Very best regards
Tony
PS Make sure you watch the FA Cup Final today at 6pm - Chelsea vs Manchester United. When there are great expectations, often the match is too tense between such evenly matched teams after a long season. So, let's hope for a classic at the new Wembley!
