    “Life is too short to wake up with regrets. So love the people who treat you right. Forget about those who don’t. Believe everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would most likely be worth it.”
    ― Harvey MacKay

    "Dear Candidates,

    You are receiving this email because you took the IELTS test on 7th December 2013 and the results are due to be released today.

    Please be advised that Cambridge has informed our test centre that due to an ongoing investigation with this batch of results, we are unable to issue the results to candidates as scheduled.

    It is stated in the IELTS Terms and Conditions:

    13. I understand that my result may not be issued 13 days after the test if any of the IELTS Test Partners deem it necessary to review any matter associated
    with my test or the administration of my test, including making enquiries as to whether any rules or regulations have been breached, as outlined in the
    IELTS Notice to Candidates. I understand that in exceptional circumstances I may be required to re-take one or more IELTS components.

    @appledeuce ano topic mo sa writing? Thanks
    @Burberry
    Topic 1: summarise and compare distribution of graduates in an advertising company in 2000 and 2010.
    Topic 2: science tells us that some activities are healthy and some are unhealthy. In spite of this, people continue to do unhealthy activities. Why do you think this is and what can be done about it? Give relevant examples from your own experience.

    Hello again! Just thought to share this video made by one of the forum members here in Pinoyau:

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=HpVmuMqAoiw

    She made this for those who are losing hope in getting their visa. I find this very inspiring. Just thought that it might help others to gain more confidence.

    God bless you all guys! :)

    Will the physical TRF be available for claiming from the IDP/BC office on the same day that the results are released online (13th day after the exam)?

    @michel_75 salamat. I think I was blessed to have had very generous speaking and writing examiners. Sabi ko I will be happy kahit 7.0 lang across all components para pwede na rin gamitin for migration later on haha. Huwag lang magbago ang 3-year validity rule ng DIBP. :)

    @filipinacpa yes, I took the exam in IDP Manila. :)
