Hi!
I just took the IELTS test yesterday (thankfully I think I did great). I won't have my results until January, but I was thinking maybe I could already enter my IELTS TRF number on the UCAS website. However, I'm not sure if I do have it. Is this the same as my candidate number, or will I get it at the same time as I get my results?
Thanks!

Hi,
I recommend not doing that,universities might check your application before your ielts result is received and they might find that weird.(just my opinion anyway)
Universities would still consider your application in the same manner either you add your ielts result or you don't.
May you please tell me how was the writting section ?

For the writing section, there was a first section where we had to analyse and describe a document which consisted of 3 maps of the same city but from different years. So, I think you had to say what changed over time and what stayed the same.
For the second section, we had to think about a question, which was about the use of energy and how some companies have decided to close down on one day per week in order to consume less energy. We had to think about that, and say if we thought this development bear more advantages than disadvantages.

You still have time until 31st August to provide all qualifications required!I'm an international student as well, from Germany, as you can see, and I'm kind of worried about the entire test procedure -.-
Do you think it was hard or doable? And did you have to struggle in the listening section?
How did you feel during the speaking part?
Sorry for all the questions
PS: I'm gonna take the test on 25th January 2014

Thank you so much! I'll send you a PM after that date then. I also hate the listening part most because if you can't hear a word, there is no second chance to listen again! Since some accents can be very unclear, I'm so afraid!!

I'm affraid because they might have some cheap,useless speakers and I don't want to loose this huge opportunity just because they are money grubbers.
Btw, What score in Ielts do you need?

I'm just a bit worried that the testing person might be too professional and therefore strict with grading
I need at least 6.5 in overall, but no section below 6. However, I'm aiming for 7 cause I believe I'm pretty good in English, not really sure how they'll look at me though.

I sent my application yesterday evening and i received just 3 letters of acknowledgement, but I'm looking forward for more emails.
How long did it takes before you received your first offer?
I need only 6 with 5.5 in all modules or ,at least, that's what universities said.
I have applied for civil engineering at Brunel, Greenwich, west london ,Portsmouth and city.http://www.ielts-blog.com/ielts-writ...ttend-college/
I think my writing skills are better than this,but sadly I don't know how is the examimator like.

After 3 weeks Lancaster & Queen Mary. Now (after almost 5 weeks), I'm still waiting for Cass & York
I think you may receive an offer earlier since all the unis you mentioned tend to give out offers very quickly!! Probably after 3 days up to 1 week.

Anyway.. I definitely thing this is doable, but, I won't get my result until January 6, so, finger crossed!
For the speaking part, I was nervous so I think I didn't do as best as I could have, but overall it was okay. The examiner was really nice, he was from Britain I believe, and at the end he stopped recording and just asked me random questions about where I wanted to go for University. Personally, my examiner began by asking me personal questions: my name, where I live, my hobbies, etc. Then, he'll give you a particular subject you'll have to talk about (you have 1 minute to think about it), and he'll probably ask you a few more questions once you're done talking about this subject.
I read through your messages and I was wondering, (Hanover) how did you apply to universities without using the UCAS website? Because, I looked on the universities' website where I'm applying, and I thought you could only apply through UCAS when you're a foreign student.
I also have a question for laur21, did you send your application before getting your IELTS score then? Do you think I should just wait until I get mine, and then send it (around January 10) so that they'll know my IELTS score right away? Because on the UCAS it says you have to send your application before January 15.
Thanks!

I took the test in September and got 8.0.
A very good website I recommend is http://www.ieltsbuddy.com/ielts-practice.html as it has every part of IELTS covered. I used it alongside a book my teacher recommended me. It really helped me with writing, my weakest section.
Listening was easy for me, got 9.0. Just focus and listen very carefully, remember to read as much as you can during the pauses between recordings and think of the tense and kind of word they expect.
Reading was good, got 8.5. Not sure what advice to give, read very carefully and don't make assumptions, especially in T/F/NG questions.
Writing didn't go as expected, got 7.0. Be quick and do lots of practice on all kinds of topics. My mark dropped because I went a bit off topic in Part 2, instead of writing about advantages and disadvantages, I focused on the problems and ways of tackling them. I also didn't finish my last sentence of part 1. So keep in mind what the question is asking for.
Speaking was alright, got 8.0. The topics I got didn't appeal to me, the examiner asked me about fashion and extreme sports. Remember to relax and don't lie, as it'll make answering any further questions a real pain.

First, I would like to apologize for not answering immediately.
There's even more pressure now because I have received offers from two unis and I don't want to screw things up.(Yes,I applied without Ielts)
To be honest,I believe that they don't care if you have or you dont have your ielts test result yet because they can see your english-level from your personal statement,if it is good,without grammar mistakes, they would definately offer you a place.However, if you send your application early you might receive a faster answer from uni.
What would you like to study and where?

Hi,
Civil engineering and I already have offers from Greenwich and West London university,but I'm still waiting for brunel because I had the chance to visit brunel and it was an exciting experience,if they send me an offer I firm it.
Well, I believe you can wait a couple of days because I think unis don't work during holidays.
Which uni is your firm choice?
