hi @the_adventurer,

yes, if i remember correctly, back to back ang mga questionnaire, both reading and listening.

meron din Yes, No, Not Given dun sa General test nung kumuha ako. mga 3-5 questions.

good luck!

<blockquote rel="the_adventurer">hello, to those who have taken the General training Test:

Is the question paper sa Reading Exam printed in back-to-back or walang print yung likod ng page? (i find it hard to manage question paper in back-to-back)
Is it possible to have Yes, No, Not Given question type in GT or sa Acad Training lang?

Thanks a lot! </blockquote>

I assume you also hate the yes, no, not given or true, false, not given type of question in the exam. Ako rin hate ko siya. Lol unfortunately, when I took the general exam last November, natiyambahan ako sa dami. Lol so maybe we should start learning how to love it. Lol

By the way guys, I attended the mock exam of niner last Saturday and I met some people there and heard about the exclusive exam of niner given in the provincial areas. They told me examiners are more considerate in giving points there. How true is it??? Any thoughts??

@gotstamped thanks. aw back-to-back pala. so mostly yung passage sa harap tpos questions sa likod nung passage, vv. mejo hassle kasi pag titingin sa likod then harap then likod kaysa kung nasa next page yun questions.hehehe. At may Yes, No, NG din pala! Thanks thanks congratz ang taas naman ng scores mo sa IELTS! 🙂

@filipinacpa. Exactly! I really hate those type of questions haha. I'd like to have more Short-answer and Gap Fills hehe. Kaya pala, sayang yung reading mo. yup mahalin at tanggapin na natin ang question type na yan. Btw, ang galng naman nung exclusive exam ng Niner. Kung totoo man, jan nalang ako mag-take ng exam. hehehe

Just found out na limited nalang ang slot of ACT SS for my nominated occupation. Hayahay! Looks like I need to take GT Ielts soon or switch to Acad Ielts. :/

@the_adventurer, sa pagkaalala ko di naman madalas mag turn ng page between the text and the questions. parang booklet kasi siya. yung reading passage nasa left side tapos ang questions nasa right side, most of the time.

sa pag practice - use cambridge ielts 5-9. ito yun suggestion dun sa free workshop na napuntahan ko.

sa writing at speaking, nakatulong sa akin yun sample essays sa ieltsbuddy.com.

sa speaking, pasang awa lang ako hehe. it's easier said than done, but just try to relax. there were a few times where i paused for a few seconds because i was trying to find the right word or phrase to say. nakakababa yata ng score ito in terms of fluency.

goodluck!

Sis @filipinacpa, aren't the official exams administered only by either BC or IDP? I think baka parang marketing ploy lang nila yung to promote Niner via word of mouth. Or who knows, really.. 🙂

the_adventurer

@gotstamped. really appreciate your inputs! i see. ok naman pala. so parang lumiit ng konti yung font para magkasya sa page.

nice. na-try ko din yung cambridge 5-9 and yung ieltsbuddy.com looks good

really.haha. ako rin nga kinakabahan sa speaking, hopefully i could talk more than 1 minute sa part 2! haha. Yup I think so too, kelangan ata fluent talaga. Kumakapit na lang ako sa Pronunciation which is one criteria sa speaking. Sana i-9 na nila para mahatak yung ibang criteria like cohesion and grammar hehe. I'm not sure though if a good accent/intonation could help raise your score.

thanks again! helpful advice indeed! 🙂

Yes IELTS Exams are only administered by either BC or IDP. Niner arranges an exclusive exam only for their students to be administered by BC in provincial areas. 🙂

to all, may napansin lang po ako sa website nang IELTS yung grading system.

yung Reading for General Migration pala talaga mataas...kelangan yung raw score of 35 above maabot or 34 atleast para makuha band 7.0

any tips or learning techniques para sa reading, ginagawa ko yung mga mock up exams sa reading at so far hindi ko maintindihan kung maingay lang ba sa bahay, out of condition probably kulang ako sa tulog, or sadyang mahirap yung passage...

out of 4 ace the ielts exams 2 dun yung doing ok ako...pero yung 2 din medyo mahirap

sana po may makatulong...maraming salamat

if you are taking GT reading, prepare for it by practicing AC reading passages.

the rest is the same, skimming, scanning, synonyms, tsaka try using roadmaps

for the passages
