My Journey - Australian Skilled - Independent

Salamat sa inyo. Bale ang gagawin ko na lang ay ito:

1) Nagparemark

2) Magtitake ng test sa April 21

3) Magtitake ng test sa May 12 (backup)

Pag OK ung remark cancel ko na yung April 21 and May 12 (which is slim chance nag)

Pag pasado sa April 21 cancel din agad May 21.

Haay...

Nagself review ako eh. Pero dodoblehin ko na lang yung effort ulit. Imbis na 1 hour a day. 2-3 hours a day ang pare review ko at pagpractice.

@jeffrey_craiglist, puwede po ba malaman kung ano breakdown ng score niyo? Besides reading, ano po yung grado ng iba?

I don't think it's possible to remark an objective type exam (Listening, Reading)...kasi iisa lang naman sa pagpipilian sa bawat tanong ang tama.

Bago po kayo kumuha ng bagong IELTS exam, tingnan niyo po muna kung aabot kayo ng 65 points kahit 0 points kayo sa English...Sa points-tested visa, passing mark naman ang IELTS all 6, yun nga lang walang maccredit na point sa inyo...pero malay niyo di niyo na pala kailangan.

Secondly, check other visa options that do not require a high IELTS score (ENS, Regional, Temporary Visa)...baka puwede rin kayo dun

wag mawalan ng pag-asa @jeffrey_craigslist

tama ang suggestions ni @LokiJr, kung pwede naman na abot na 65pts kana khit walang ielts pts..

goodluck!!

Pag di po kasi ako kumuha ng IELTS 60 lang ang score ko. 🙁 Gusto ko nga sana maprove na OK ang English communication ko kasi 4 years naman ako na dito sa States. Di lang kasi nagbibigay ng Green Card dito sa company namin kaya nagi-explore ako sa iba.

Kaso di naman daw pwede yung experience ko dito sa States para maprove na ok ang english ko. Kakakalungkot nga eh, kasi kung di naman ako marunong magenglish at umintindi di naman ako tatagal dito 🙁

Yung Writing, Listening, Speaking ko ay 7.5, 7.5, 8...

Salamat po pala sa moral support. Siguro kailangan ko lang ng pagaaral ng matindi pa.

Salamat @lock_code2004, laki kong tao pero napaiyak ako nitong test na ito. Medyo naapektuhan nga ang araw ko kahapon. Pero ito, kasalukyan ako nagaaral at nagtsi-tsek ng forums regarding IELTS.. 1 hour a day lang ako nagaaral dati. ngayon gagawin ko ng hours a day.

@jeffrey_craigslist - here are my suggestions:

1) kung 60 ang score mo ngaun, why dont you apply for 176 -State Sponshorship, so magiging 60 + 5 (SS) = 65 total points..

2) continue with your remarking

3) re-take IELTS sa April 21 (as planned).

so habang naghihintay ka ng option2 and 3 above.. it will not hurt you to do option1...

check which state accepts your nominated application na hindi masyadong mahigpit sa ielts score (ex WA and SA)

@jeffrey_craigslist

wag po kayo mawalan ng pagasa. meron pa pong 3 months bago mag July 2012. may napansin lang po ako na similarities sa scores natin. i took the ielts exam on march 10th din. after the exam, i really felt confident sa Reading part. feeling ko after ng exam e dun ako highest. but when i got my scores, sa Reading pa ako lowest. medyo sinuwerte lang at nakasabit pa din sa 7 but that was close. so i guess baka nagkataon lang na ang mga given choices dun sa reading ay mahirap piliin. pero im sure kayang kaya nyo na yan sa re-take nyo.

LokiJr

@jeffrey_craigslist kung may asawa na kayo, may partner points din na puwede iclaim. Anyway, try niyo po ang 176 state sponsorship, IELTS 6 ang requirement ng ilang states at mukhang mabibilis ang turnover ng results ngayon base sa mga posts ng iba.

Huwag po kayo mawalan ng pag-asa...I get the feeling you're pressured by that "July" change, but as I have mentioned several times in the forum, hindi dapat katakutan yung SkillSelect..baka nga mas pabor pa sa inyo yung ganung processing 🙂

This is a good option. Basta @jeffrey_craigslist tuloy lang po ang laban. Wag pong ma pressure to beat the deadline di ba sabi nila "Patience is the partner of wisdom" focus lang po sa review sa reading but wag nyo din kalimutan reviewhin yung ibang subtests baka todo focus ka sa reading e ma neglect muna yung ibang subtests. Accenture ba kayo sir? Just asking.

My husband and i took the exams on march 10 den.... And like you guys, sobrang confident kame sa reading... We were both thinking na baka 8.5 kame dun... But as it turned out, 7 lng kme... Buti sumabit pa... Hmmm weird lang...

@jeffrey_craiglist

Reading comprehension is relatively tricky and has full of twists and turns. It does NOT test how well you have understood the passage. It tests specific skills called Scanning and Skimming, but if you know the techniques, you can say that it is the easiest among the subtests.

Since it is under time pressure, skip the passage/advertisement/story for a while. Jump directly to the questions, read it all thoroughly. Once you are through with reading all the questions, skim over the text and underline / mark important parts. You may even be able to answer some questions as you read. Then proceed to the first paragraph of the passage. Usually the first answer can be found immediately in the first two sentences. The answers are sequential, meaning the next answer has to be in the succeeding sentence - don't bother to read the previous sentences.

True, False, Not Given

If the statement clearly appears in text – it is True

If the text clearly says the opposite of statement – it is False

If you didn’t find the statement to be True or False – it is Not Given

For example:

“Smoking is dangerous and can lead to cancer” – T, F, NG

1) If the text clearly says that “smoking is dangerous and leads to cancer” than the answer is T.

(the word dangerous may be substituted with HAZARDOUS or RISKY, is any synonyms). The answer is still T.

2) If the text says that “No research showed evidence that smoking is dangerous and leads to cancer” than the answer is F.

3) If the text says “The research included smoking people of both genders of ages 30 to 45″ and nothing else about smoking – your answer is NG.

Don’t assume anything based on your knowledge and experience, read the text! It is the oldest trick in the book and they use it a lot in IELTS.

Don’t “over think” your answer – you could start building long logical sequences that will take you to the wrong answer.

Salamat po ng madami. Sige tandaan ko yan. Saka Dapat complete na word - TRUE, FALSE, NOT GIVEN ang gagamitin ko sa exam tama ba? Basta depende sa instruction...

Actually sa T/F/NG type talaga maraming nalilito na IELTS examiners. Yan din challenge ko nung nagpa-practice ako for IELTS. Pero nung may nabasa ko na same tip nung kay Tootzkie, naging ok na ko sa reading and naging ok din score ko. Don't be sad @jeffrey_craigslist. Meron akong booklet on IELTS Tips and Preparations, may mga tips on reading. PM me your gmail account, I'll share it with you and several practice booklets. 🙂 Smile na Mr. Big Boy ha. 🙂

Natumbok ni sir tootzkie yung susi dun sa T/F/NG hehe:

If the statement clearly appears in text – it is True

If the text clearly says the opposite of statement – it is False

If you didn’t find the statement to be True or False – it is Not Given

Yan lang kelangan tandaan...Straight-forward naman ang tanong dun 🙂

@jeffrey_craigslist, ituloy lang ang laban hehehe

tootzkie

@itchan

thanks kung na-appreciate mo ang signature ko, medyo maangas ang dating pero nakapagbibigay ng inspirasyon sa mga applicants na nawawalan na ng pag-asa. Parang ikaw, lahat ng paraan ginagawa mo. Yun naman dapat di ba? kapag gusto, may paraan.

Akala ko noon nang mawala ang old occupation ko (Network SEcurity Specialist), end na ng australian dream ko. Pero hindi ako nawalan ng pag-asa, nagpa-re-assess ako ng new occupation - Systems Analyst. PInatunayan ko sa ACS na since IT job is a complex one, network security job involves systems analysis.

gusto ko ring malaman ng lahat na kung ano mang hirap o failures ang pinagdadaanan nila, natural lang yun, kasi kapag nalusutan nila yun... VISA GRANT ang kapalit.

Kumusta naman Sir @tootzkie ang first few weeks mo in AU and sa work mo? 🙂

LokiJr

san na si threadstarter? hehe ano na kaya nangyari sa kanya 🙂

unanimous21

@tootzkie , uu nga kumusta ka na jan? lahat kami naghihintay ng kwento mo...

k_mavs

Baka lang po busy sa work si TS. 😃

PogingNoypi

Hello po,

Pasensya na kayo, tama nga po si @k_mavs medyo busy nga po ako sa work. 🙁 Di nga ako masyado nakakapagaral kasi maski weekend nag wowork ako.

Anyway, nakakapagaral na po ako ulit. May tanong lang po pala ako.

Nalilito po kasi ako dates and digits/words. Paano ba ang tamang pagsulat ng date, halimbawa sinabi nung nsa listening "Give no more than three words" ay "available during the 28th of November...." sinulat ko kasi sa sago ko ay 28th of November... pero sa answer key ay 28 November.

tapos sa number po, paano ba yung tama halimbawa sinabi sa recording ay "Fifty cars are available........" paano ba ang sagot pag sa how many na tanong? "Fifty cars" or "50 Cars"?

Sagot ko kasi ay "Fifty cars" pero ang nakalagay sa answer key ay "50 cars"...
