you are going to get your desired bang so make sure to watch this video to the very end like this
video leave me a comment below share this video with your friends i prepare you for eye health and
subscribe if you like my content so high health is an english exam that is usually requested by the
immigration service and also by the professional body or school which you are trying to you know
get into in the uk so nurses do i else students who are coming into the uk they do ielts also
and right now healthcare assistants also who are coming into the uk from overseas
some of them are required to do il so ielts is basically
a test of your knowledge of english language to know that you can write you can speak you
can understand english language very well to be able to communicate with people when you get into
the uk there are actually other exams too that are like alternatives to high health like oit
but um because i wrote ielts i really didn't have an experience of oit so my video basically is
about eye health and the tips for high health and all the resources that i'm going to be mentioning
also are based on ielts exam the first time i wrote an ielts exam was in 2018 i think if if any
of this i'm saying is wrong i'm going to put the right thing on the screen because usually when i'm
making this video like this just came to me now and i just want to sit down and make this video
and get it out of the way i don't want to start looking for um looking for my documents and all
that before making this video so my first um experience of eye health i think it was in 2018
and i read the ielts academy so there are various types of ielts there's the highest
academic there's the ihealth genera then there's the ielts uk vi genera and there's the ielts
uk vi academic so i read the ielts academic and my results when i wrote the ielts academic was
this and because of that obviously i couldn't go ahead because one of the elements of the exam
is below what is expected of me like i said there are actually four aspects to ielts we have the
reading we have the writing we have the speaking so one of it was below what was expected of me
so i could not go ahead with my process for coming into the uk as a registered nurse
the truth is that period and that time it was so devastating it was so if you if you failed an exam
before you know you you have an understanding or if you failed i held before and you had to
rewrite it you will know how i felt it wasn't a pleasant experience especially to think that
there are months that you pay for it i think at that time it was 75 000 naira and it was like
like my two-month salary you know you put up two month salary to write an exam and at the end of
the day you failed that exam hey jesus it wasn't a palatable experience at all and at all before
i wrote that particular exam i really did not um i was practicing of course but i really did not
pay for any tuition or anything i think the only payment that i made was to the british council
because usually when you get when you when you sign up for this exam this ielts exam is surely
true british council i think there are two um two coordinators of the exam british council and
there's another coordinator i forgot him he signed up to take the exam under british council so when
i signed up british council sent me mails about preparing and all that and they i mean they have
some courses also so i went for the course i think i'm not sure how much i paid i think i paid 15 000
or so for it then it was on their app and i went through it and after that i actually failed yeah i
failed so as i went on with my processing for you know coming into the uk as a registered nurse i
got to know that i am going to be needing um ukvi academic ielts of course the nmc which is the body
that regulates nursing in the uk glasses the i health academic that i have done that is if i had
actually gotten all my bands like i have passed that ielts they will actually accept it but that
particular hireout wouldn't have been acceptable to the uk immigration people so i had to pay for
and sit for the uk bi academic so i did it in um 2019 i think early 2019 and it was successful i
made my grades and i was so happy this is actually my results you have seen it on the screen so it
was successful and that was how i was able to continue with the process of coming into the uk
as a registered nurse now to the tips that helped me to pass my tests the second time one i made use
of a lot of resources a lot lot lot of resources and when you are making use of resources online
actually free resources online there are different teachers there are different eye health teachers
and it might be confusing for you sometimes you know sometimes when um teacher a is teaching you
how to structure your writing like your essay when you want to write your essay how to structure it
and all that when teacher a is teaching you that is our approach might be different from teacher b
so if you are taking lessons from two different people with two different opinions about it
it can be frustrating to you and it can be confusing so it's better that you get an eye
health teacher i like your mode of teaching and stick with them so i for one i used ielts lease
all through like all all through all through my preparation for my eye health the second time
i used ielts liz she's got a youtube channel and she has also got a website they helped me
so much i did not pay for a premium course so i did not even pay for a premium course i only use
that free resources our free youtube videos and our free resources on our website i'm going to
be linking our website and uh youtube channel in the description box below they helped me
tremendously i mean tremendously and a lot of people also actually have testimonials of how
our website has actually helped them so if you are looking for resources to use i highly recommend
high health leads second tip that i have for you is that you should join groups that have
like-minded people like join i health group or if you are preparing for oit join oet groups like
there are a lot of groups on facebook a whole lot a whole lot just go on facebook and write ielts
or write ielts academical justice ielts or ielts band 7 or ielts band 9 there are a lot of groups
that you can join for free and once you join the group be able to see a lot of contributions from
different people they'll put up essays for you to you know to write to read as a you get different
assignments you get different lessons get different mock tests you know to prepare yourself
for the test and even from the group you can get an accountability partner that you guys
will be like monitoring yourself monitoring your progress uh gingering yourself i don't know if the
english is correct you know giving yourselves encouragement throughout you know the journey
up to when you write your ielts exam so that is something that you should also try and look
into and try to start doing if you haven't already top tip that i have for you is to pay for coaching
or tutoring if needed like you all have different levels of understanding and what someone else gets
once i may not get it once and i need it to be repeated to me three times or five times before
it gets registered in my head before i get it so if you feel like you need an extra coaching
or an extra tutoring please go for it now don't um what's the english i wanted to say masha faraway
don't compare yourself to somebody else don't compare yourself to lag badger lag badger might
just start you know using free resources in the past month and lag baja is already ready
for the ielts test in in a month's time and lag baja will do the test and lag baja will pass
and ace the test meanwhile me and i need more than a month or two to practice you know to get it and
i may even need more tutoring more coaching to get what lag baja has already gotten even before
the tutor has said it like has gotten it but me i need the tutor to repeat it over and over and
over and over again i need to take more time to read to digest you know to let it sink in
before i actually get it so don't compare yourself to another person go at your own pace don't
rush yourself i start now i think the price for academic i'm not sure all i know is that the price
for i held i think the lowest price is 75 000. so the price is right now ranges from 75 000 to
i think 85 000 or 90 000 naira it's not a small money so don't rush take your time do a lot of
practice and take a lot of mock tests so that you get yourself prepared well prepared before
you actually book your test and go for your test so i think that was helpful if you have further
tips for people who are watching probably you've written your eye out before or you
are just planning to write your ielts what other tips do you have for us what other tips do you
