Student Log In

What if I can’t log in to my account?

Ensure that you are entering your correct details without any spaces. If a problem persists, you may need to check the security settings in your browser. Setting the security settings to “default” will normally correct any browser issues. Before you make any changes to the browser security settings, be sure to check with your system administrator first.

What if I forget my username and/or password?

Go to the log in page and select the forgotten password link. Enter your email address and your login details will be emailed to you.

What happens if I enter the wrong password a number of times?

If a wrong password to your account has been entered too many times, your account will be disabled for 1 hour. After the 1 hour has passed, you may access your account.

Can I log in more than once at the same time?

No, you may only have one session active at a time. If you attempt to log in more than once, you will be given the choice of either cancelling the second log in or continuing and cancelling the first log in.

How do I change my email address and/or contact details?

Use the My Account option from the Student Centre. You may change your email address and contact details using this option.

How do I change my username?

You cannot change your username. It must stay the same for the life of your subscription.


Subscription

What if my account expires?

You are able to purchase additional time in monthly increments for a limited number of months. You may do this before your account expires from the Student Centre. If your account has already expired, enter your correct login details on the login page and you will be given an option to purchase more time. Alternatively, send an email to our accounts department.

Can I upgrade from Standard to the Premium Plan?

Yes, if you have an existing Standard subscription, you can upgrade from the Student Centre. Upgrading to Premium gives you access to more tests and resources. Note: it is better value to purchase a Premium subscription from the start rather than upgrade later.

What if I am not sure whether to choose General Training or Academic?

You should confirm with your advisors before selecting your study mode. General Training IELTS and Academic IELTS differ in important areas. Your subscription with Scott’s English Success includes only one study mode. You select your study mode when you first login on the website.

What if I select the wrong study mode (General Training/Academic) the first time I login?

If you select the wrong study mode, please contact us within 24 hours of first logging in and we will change your study mode.  Your study mode cannot be changed after that time.

What if I wish to study both General Training and Academic?

You will need to purchase two separate subscriptions to Scott’s English Success.


Technical

What internet connection speed do you recommend?

We recommend that you have as fast a connection as possible to minimise download time for site content, however the web site will work quite well with a dial up connection. With a dial up connection, allow for additional time to download and buffer site content.

What screen resolution do you recommend?

Scott's English Success works best with a 1024 x 768 or higher resolution. It will also work at a resolution of 800 x 600 but we do not recommend lower screen resolutions.

What additional software do I need to use the web site?

We use Adobe Flash throughout the website for video and audio presentations. The free Flash player can be installed from the downloads area of the web site. You may also choose to download other free software to view other optional components – eg. Acrobat. Links to these viewers are also available from the downloads area.

Before downloading any new software to your computer, ensure that you ask permission or check with your system administrator.
