10 Reasons why you should take Computer-delivered IELTS:

Taking IELTS on the computer is easier and more straightforward than you think. Although both paper-based and Computer-delivered IELTS are the same, the only difference is the mode of administering the test.
One is on paper, the other is on a computer, asides from that, the format of the test is the same. Been scaring away from Computer-delivered IELTS? Here are reasons why you should take it;
1. Less crowd: The computer test room is usually between 10 - 15 test-takers per session. This means you can take your test discretely and also enjoy the serenity that comes with small numbers.
2. Faster result: You don’t have to wait 13 days to get your test report anymore. The Computer-delivered test result is available between 3 - 5 days of taking your test. Its handy if you need your test result urgent or can’t bear the anxiety of waiting 13 days to see your result.
3. More flexible test dates and time: With Computer-delivered IELTS, 5 days are available to choose from in a week and 3 sessions per day. For the busy and the 9-5 jobbers, you can schedule your test any time of the week except on Tuesdays and Thursdays.
4. All components of the test are taken the same day: Unlike the Paper-based IELTS, you can take the whole test on the same day; the Speaking test alongside the Listening, Reading and Writing are all taken on the same day. You can save another day of going for the Speaking test.
5. You can highlight text: While taking the reading or listening component, you can highlight some salient points you wish to return to in the cause of the test, just like you underline the text on a paper. This saves time looking for some relevant text later during the test.
6. The computer shows the word count: This saves you the time and stress of counting the number of words during your Writing test. The number of words appears below the text box, this guide you to stay in tune with the required word count for each task of the writing test.
7. Good size of the screen provided: The computer size is big enough for you and the text are big and legible to the eyes. We still advise that you come with your recommended glasses if you use one.
8. You can cut, copy and paste: In the text box for the Writing component, the system has the cut, copy and paste your text. This can be helpful if you need to arrange your thoughts.
9. Easy to write/type your answers if you are good at typing: Research has shown that the average handwriting speed is only 20 words per minute, this is way lesser than the average typing speed of 40 words per minute. Use this to your advantage.
10. The Speaking test is the same as the paper-based: As mentioned earlier, both Computer-delivered and paper-based have the same Speaking test format and mode of delivery. Both are either face-to-face or video Speaking tests and in both cases, you are interacting with humans.
Now that you know some benefits of taking the computer-delivered test, proceed to book your text at ielts.ng with confidence. Good luck with your test!

1/5 The best way to maximise self-leadership towards the attainment of optimal results is to first understand what optimal results entails and then to know exactly why you wish to attain optimal results. #ChatWithTundexFola
2/5 Optimal results are top-notch results that distinguish you and sets you apart from the rest of the crowd. In an ever increasingly competitive world, it is only by producing optimal results that you get ahead. #ChatWithTundexFola
3/5 A very important way through which you can maximise your self-leadership is to find yourself a mentor who has attained the heights you wish to attain. Be willing to learn from them. #ChatWithTundexFola

1/5 The first step to attaining self-leadership is first and foremost to make a personal DECISION to be the best version of your previous self in every ramification. This includes one’s personal life, professional life, academic life, etc. #ChatWithTundexFola
2/5 The nest step towards the development of one’s self-leadership is to IDENTIFY what must be done towards the attainment of your set goals and objectives in life. #ChatWithTundexFola
3/5 This maybe with regards to the price the needs to be paid for instance towards achieving academic excellence. To lead one’s self in this area would require committing to hard, smart and deep work for instance. #ChatWithTundexFola

1/5 Thank you Tunde. Thank you all also for joining us. Its a honour to be here. Let me begin by contextualising leadership. Leadership is a function of influence. Leaders are those who are skilled at influencing others towards the attainment of shared goals. #ChatWithTundexFola
2/5 Self-leadership therefore can best be understood as the process by which individuals exert influence upon themselves in ensuring that they maximize their potentials to the fullest. #ChatWithTundexFola
3/5 While this may not always be an essay task to embark upon, it also does not mean it is impossible. The pursuit of self-leadership is significant because without it, nothing worthwhile can be obtained by an individual. #ChatWithTundexFola

1/5 The best way to make the best of each stage of your relationship with your mentor is to ensure that you maintain a sense of humility and meekness. Do not assume you have learnt enough to be ‘let loose’. You must never burn bridges with your mentor(s). #ChatWithTunde
2/5 Also make sure that you do not come off as a liability but rather as an asset. When your mentors need to get something of great importance done, you want to be the first person that comes to their mind. #ChatWithFola #ChatWithTunde
3/5 Don't EVER show disagreement with your mentor(s) in public. Ensure that even on matters you are not clear on, that you always seek clarity from them. Make sure to also always carry them along with the major decisions and steps you are contemplating taking. #ChatWithFola
