Hi guys! Took my Academic IELTS also yesterday at SG BC.
Compared to my first take, I made sure that this time I manage my time well, last time kc nakulangan ako ng oras sa reading at nanghula tlga ng ibang sagot. Kaso wala pa rin tlga oras mag double check ng answers.
Also, as I see it, mas madali ung listening at reading this time. Sa 1st exam ko, sa listening maraming multiple choice questions na ang bibilis, ngaun I think about 4 questions only. Tapos sa reading ang marami is ung "choose the right headings" for each paragraph at di masyado ang True, False at Not Given questions.
Sa Writing Task 1, there is a line graph comparing estimated annual income of men, women with children and women with no children based on age.
Sa essay, the topic is something like "Now when people travel in other country, there is a lot of similarity in his own country. What are the causes of this similarity? What are the advantages and disadvantages?
Then, speaking, which for me the topic for part 2 is really not so interesting and I talked less than 1 minute. Wala talaga ako maicip. The irony pa is, this question is the exact question that my friend got when we both took the exam last Sept at wala rin sya masyado na discuss. And since natanong na un, I did not bother to think about it....and boom! I got the same question! tsk tsk!
Also, nakapost po ito sa website na http://www.ielts-blog.com/category/recent-ielts-exams/
which naitanong din sa mga IELTS exam sa ibang country. In case you have time you can check it here and try to answer as many because you don't know if it may be ask again, like what happen to me, surprisingly.
Good luck sa atin...ang hirap mag intay ng result :-SS
