IELTS Study Abroad Policy: Cancel Home Test? The famous school makes a voice, and the IELTS test at home directly sends a rejection letter!
Voice of famous school: directly send rejection letter of IELTS test at home!
The epidemic has become the history of yesterday. It is no longer an obstacle or "excuse" when applying for studying abroad.
The University of Sydney announced that from April 1, 2023, the policy of applying for "preferential treatment" during the epidemic will be cancelled!
The updated application policy of the University of Sydney covers language and submission.
The language performance requirements are adjusted as follows:
X The validity period of English scores is changed from 3 years to 2 years;
X IELTS indicator is no longer recognized;
X TOEFL Special Home Edition is no longer recognized;
The University of Sydney takes the lead. It is expected that in the near future, well-known universities around the world will gradually withdraw their recognition of the IELTS and TOEFL home tests.
On the IELTS official website, on the IELTS Indicator question and answer page, the official clearly informed everyone that the IELTS home exam would be completely canceled!
Now, worldwide, the epidemic has improved, and the home exam has lost its significance, so it is time to withdraw from the stage of history.
Have you decided what to do when you finish the exam at home?
When IELTS is confirmed to be offline in the home exam, you should consider the following issues:
Q: Do foreign or Hong Kong universities still accept IELTS at home?
A: If you are still in the stage of selecting a school, you can search the official website of the school for language requirements to confirm whether you are still recognized in the home exam.
If admitted, the following page should be displayed
If it is not recognized, there is no IELTS Indicator option.
If you have applied to an institution, it is recommended that you send an email to the institution as soon as possible to confirm whether you need to hand in the official IELTS scores.
Q: Are the IELTS home test scores still valid?
A: The score of IELTS Indicator is still valid for two years, and will not be invalidated due to offline examination.
But you need to remind everyone repeatedly that you must confirm the language requirements with the school you are applying for. In case the school does not recognize the results of the home exam after the offline exam, it can also stop losing in time to apply for the new IELTS exam as soon as possible.
Q: You have signed up for the IELTS home test. Do you want to cancel?
A: Don't cancel, try to take both exams!
If the university you are applying for still recognizes the IELTS home test, do not cancel it, in case the offline test scores are too slow, which will delay the application progress;
At the same time, in order to avoid having a g test at home, Youyou strongly recommends that you make an appointment for offline (paper and pencil or computer test) test seats as soon as possible, and get ready!!
Famous schools raise the language requirements for application!
In terms of submission, the Australian University has updated the following two pieces of information
X AP students will no longer be allowed to submit applications with AP course scores alone. Students need SAT or ACT scores and high school graduation certificates;
X The applicant needs to provide a valid passport. If no valid passport is provided, it will be limited to conditional offer.
This application is mainly for candidates who applied after April, so please pay attention to those who failed in the postgraduate entrance examination and want to apply to Australia or those who failed in the postgraduate entrance examination!
In addition to the updated language requirements of the University of Sydney, the University of New South Wales has also adjusted the language requirements: the language requirements of the School of Humanities, Design and Architecture. Except for one course, the IELTS requirements of other master's courses are 6.5 in total, and each item is not less than 6.0.
Only Master of Teaching (Primary&Secondary) The total IELTS score required for the master of teaching is 7.5, including writing and reading at least 7.0, and speaking and listening at least 8.0.
However, Australian universities are not the first to improve their language application scores in recent years
As early as last year UCL After raising the requirements for the highest IELTS score for graduate students, the requirements for IELTS have also been raised for many majors in popular universities such as Edinburgh University and Manchester University.
Manda In the past years, the total score of science and engineering majors was only 6.5, and the individual score was no less than 6.0. This year, many majors have also been adjusted to a total score of 7.0, and the individual score is no less than 6.5.
It is relatively good to only increase the total score, but it is required to increase the small score These famous "scheming" schools have really figured out the weaknesses of non English native speakers in IELTS!!
IELTS test preparation guide!
Give you some tips for preparing for the exam!
1. Start preparing for the exam early. Don't set the first exam at the dangerous edge of DDL submission of application materials!
2. Don't worry too much that the score of the first exam will affect your application result. When you reach the target score, you can send it to the college admission office!
3. Every exam score has reference value, and must be carefully reviewed! Recognize your own strength, benchmark your own weaknesses, and find the direction of efficient and scientific test preparation!
4. Please take seriously those friends whose exam scores are too far behind their target scores! This is not a question of simply brushing questions and copying other people's strategies for preparing for the exam! It's more efficient to find a reliable teacher than to try blindly!
5. Mind is really important! The exam registration fee is also very expensive... Get ready, don't be sad and lose money
[Preliminary preparation]
Learn about IELTS, including test time, test content, registration method, test location in the city, etc. (The above information can be found on the official IELTS registration website).
About Planning
It is strongly recommended that you reserve sufficient time for preparing for the IELTS test. Students who have plans to apply for a study and who are required to submit their qualified IELTS scores before being judged in the area where they plan to apply should especially prepare for the IELTS test in advance. It is recommended that you reserve 2-3 months for IELTS test preparation, and students with relatively weak English foundation can extend it appropriately, but it is not recommended to stretch the time line too long, and avoid too fragmented preparation time. Students with weak self-discipline can use a set of questions to test their personal level on the basis of unprepared, determine the appropriate time for preparing for the exam according to their personal conditions, and register for the exam in advance to enhance their personal mobility. Students who think they do not have the ability to make a scientific daily learning plan can appropriately learn from the plans shared by others on the network platform (as shown in the figure below).
[Data recommendation]
No matter what kind of problem solving skills you learn, you can't get away from the Cambridge IELTS authentic questions. It is strongly recommended that you stick to the authentic questions every day to keep the feeling of doing problems. The following recommended materials should be used together with the real questions. Students who take the paper and pencil test should buy the paper version of the real questions, and students who take the computer test can choose the computer test simulation website.
hearing : Mr. He Qiong's listening class, listening corpus in IELTS listening WeChat applet and 179 listening test words.
read : Liu Hongbo's reading collection video, General Outline of IELTS Reading Scriptures, 538 reading test words (available in the IELTS listening applet).
writing Simon online course, model articles and opinion library, "It will make you more like a native speaker in the IELTS writing and speaking exam...". Please refer to Mr. Vince's online class for the big composition. If necessary, you can choose the writing correction website for correction.
oral language : Question bank of the current season. (At the same time, it is recommended to have a real-time dialogue with foreign teachers on the Cambly website to ease tension and simulate the test scene.)
Computer test simulation website : I have used IELTS and deskmate English, and prefer deskmate English websites.
[Personal suggestion]
1. Fully collect information and do not blindly brush questions.
The skill of doing questions is relatively important for preparing for the IELTS test. While brushing the questions, learn more about different methods of doing questions to find the most suitable method for yourself.
2. Correct your attitude and believe in yourself.
The difficulty of Jian Ya real question fluctuates greatly, and the status of doing the question also has a great impact on the score. If the score is not ideal, correct your attitude and review in time, find out the reason for losing the score, and do not focus too much on the score of a single exercise.
3. Practice a lot and allocate time reasonably.
Personally, listening and reading have a relatively large scoring space, and the scoring difficulty is lower than that of writing and speaking. It is not recommended that you overemphasize the average allocation of time in each part when preparing for the exam, and you can make appropriate choices when necessary.
