Lady shares how she studied for IELTS during application
Olawande said two schools she applied to asked for an International English Language Testing System IELTS result.
Her words:
“Two of the schools I selected required that I submit an IELTS result. To have a competitive application, I decided to write the exam early January (CBT result comes out within 3-5 working days) P.S I studied for 2 weeks on YouTube.
“I started to write my statement of purposes for each course. I scanned and uploaded my bsc transcript, int’l passport, reference letters and other supporting documents required by the courses. Two days before the deadline, I submitted and invested in prayers to back up my application.”
