<blockquote rel="rpspanilo">Good day everyone!
I would like to know the pointing system in Writing category.
For both letter and essay type, how are the words counted? Like for example:
car racing - (two words/ 1 word?)
determinants/preposition counted? - (eg: the, at, to, of, as,and )
his/her - (is this two word/ 1 word?)
Pronouns are counted?
I would appreciate any kind of additional information.
Thank you.

Yes 2 words
I bought the practice material from cambridge nung tiningnan ko kasama sa count nila yan, otherwise, kulang yung words sa mga sample specially dun sa mga 'ideal' sample.
1 kung ang context eh for example "it depends on his/her ability".
Yes
Ang kagandahan dun sa cambridge material, they'll show you samples kung ano itsura ng say writing na ang score eh 6.5, 7.0, 8.0 and 'ideal' response. Yung una kong score, 7.0 sa writing, confident ako sa writing and I thought at least kaparehas ko yung sample sa book na ang score eh 8.0. I applied for remarking and eventually was given an 8.0 sa writing (balik pa S$185 ko hehe).
Ang technique na ginawa ko, kada paragraph na matapos ko, bibilangin ko. Then gawa ako small mark for my count. Of course, sinosobrahan ko. Burahin ko na lang mga mark ko later. Btw, hindi lang number of words ang basihan ng pointing system ha.
