    Tips ko for those taking IELTS.

    Don't worry about it. I didn't enroll in any training centre or IELTS classes, I just bought an IELTS reviewer for $15-$20. I read and practice 1 week before the exam (1hr a day) and managed to get a 7.0 - pasado na for my visa lodgement.

    Hindi po ako magaling sa english at hindi rin ako mahilig sa mga books (komiks lang at movies/tv shows). It's one of my weakest subjects back in school pero for those na graduate ng college/uni, we already have like 6 years of english language nung elementary, 4 in H/S, tapos meron pang mga additional english for business at kung anu-anu pang english ek ek sa college. Just concentrate on the general areas na may difference ang us and aus english gaya ng "s" at "z" (realise, finalise), etc.

    Confidence lang at yung natutunan ko nung elementary if it doesn't sound right, it's probably not the correct answer.

    My first experience inquiring with IDP, parang rough yung entertained nila sa akin kasi i was asking what test should i have to take GT or academic, actually inquiry stage palang yung sa akin last time i think April pa curious lang sa contents ng pamphlets. Hindi ko lang nagustuhan yun reply nun front desk officer nila after handing me the pamphlets na medyo hinihingal pako dahil they are about to closed few mins. kasi halos takbuhin ko na yung place sa Makati after i asked them sabi ko for migration purposes sabi ko dun sa girl, replied nya " was'nt it was written on the information materials you are holding, what test should you have to take do you think"...sungit o kelangan lang alisto ka. Pero wala namang koneksyon yun how they assessed your test. Natapat lang cguro nasungitan ako...he he. Pero hindi dapat ganun pag nasa public service ang work mo dami mo kayang iba't ibang klaseng tao nami meet tapos bad impression pa pakikita mo.

    Salamat!! aolee, pasensya na, yan kasi ang daming pino promote na inbox ng yahoo, i did'nt realised na ganyan pag may nag send sa akin. Automatic computer generated msg. na nabasa mo mag register daw muna.

    Ako nag-ppromote ng BC instead of IDP. :)) I personally like BC kse helpful tlaga sila and they offer free seminars to help you. Also, yung Resource Center nila is open Mondays to Saturdays 10-4pm so more time to review.. yung sa IDP ata Tues and Thurs lang open.. something like that..

    If you want, you can visit both centers and inquire.. tapos kung san mo feel, dun ka mag-apply. :) Pero maganda talaga sa British Council. Hehehe. :p

    @ Katlin924, Like ko rin ang BC, yun din ang narinig ko sa iba BC is helpful...pero ok lang kc yung iba they take the test sa IDP pag hindi nila nakuha ang required score nila sa BC pero sa amin ng husband ko BC muna sya magti-take. Parang hindi accomodating yung lola na nakausap ko last time in April sa IDP, he he he. :-)

    Kung mas convenient sayo ang Makati, go for IDP.

    At the end of the day, IDP and BC just provide the IELTS exams...nasa kamay mo pa rin ang kalalabasan :D

    @LokiJr, tama ka dyan pero dun muna kami sa BC kung saan at peace ang feeling namin.
    @katlin, After that experience, the next morning i pm my friend in another pinoy forum about my experience in IDP meron din xa bad comment about IDP. The time she took the test in speaking medyo old lady na may feeling sick ang nagbigay sa kanya, may sore throat at namamaos, meron din daw konting ubo't sipon kaya naka tape na lang yung topic na pinarinig. Medyo hindi nya nagustuhan yung episode na yun in taking the IELTS sana raw hindi pinayagan ang ganun, mababa ang result nya 5.5-speaking :-( and then when she took another test that time in BC na. Sabi ko nga bakit hindi muna BC, anyway taga Cainta sya mas publisized daw ang IDP kesa BC kaya dumayo pa sya ng Makati.

    Ah talaga? Tiga Cainta din ako! Kaya mas accessible ang BC kse sa Ortigas lang..

    Ang sad naman ng experience nya, dapat pag ganon i-refund or i-retake nya yung speaking. Di acceptable yung ganon. Pano sila mkkpag-test ng skills nya sa speaking kung yung kausap nya eh tape recorder or paos? :(

    Hi @unanimous21.. ito sagot ko sa mga tanong mo:

    what time po ba ang listening/reading/writing?
    Sa exam day ba ang tanong mo? Well, usually umaga to naka-schedule eh.. kse sa hapon ung speaking exam nung iba.. Pero yung Speaking exam schedule ay depende dun sa center kung san ka nag-register to take your IELTS.

    saan po usually and venue ng British Council at ng IDP?
    Sa BC - Crowne Plaza sa Ortigas (katabi ng Robinsons Galleria)
    Sa IDP - Mandarin Hotel (tama ba?) Basta some hotel in Makati

    saan po ba mas convenient para sa aken? i mean saan mas malapit na testing center?
    Mahina ako sa geography eh, kung sa cavite.. sa tingin ko mas malapit ang Makati.. tama ba?

    can i go out the testing room or should i wait until the exam is finished and go out along with the rest of the examiners?
    Sayang naman kung ganon.. If the exam starts, no one is allowed to go out of the testing center eh.. Yun ang alam ko.. Manghula ka na lang kung di mo talaga kayanin.. sayang ang almost 9k na binayad mo just to take the exam!

    Sana nasagot ko ang mga katanungan mo. :)

    Ito po ang alam ko about IDP. Kapag mataas yung reading and listening (e.g. 8 or above) then yung writing and/or speaking is below the passing grade, ir-recheck nila automatic, walang babayaran yung examinee...sa BC walang ganung policy. May raffle lang ang BC, ang prizes e free trip to HK, refund ng payment, apple gadgets, etc.

    For second or succeeding take ng IELTS:
    if previous exam sa BC e failed then nag take naman sa IDP, may chance na pumasa yung examinee. ganun din if from IDP to BC.

    10 Dec 2011 - Submitted ACS Online Application and sent docs via Fedex
    3 Dec 2011 - IELTS 1st take (L7.5 R8.5 S7 W 6)
    14 Dec 2011 - ACS received my documents
    10 Jan 2012 - ACS Positive result
    18 Feb 2012 - IELTS 2nd take (L8 R9 S6.5 W7.5)
    3 Mar 2012 - applied for IELTS Remarking (no changes)
    5 Oct 2012 - submitted EOI (65 points, subclass 189)

    Ang sosyal pala ng test centers pag dyan sa Pinas sa hotel ang venue ng exam.

    Ako naman sa IDP nag take ng IELTS, may nabasa kasi ako before, nakalimutan ko na kung saang forum, na mas hindi strict sa speaking ang IDP compared sa BC.

    Hi @wisha, Myth ata yang alam mo sa IDP. Opinion ko lang.. Kasi wala namang Pass or Fail sa IELTS dba? It's just a matter of getting the band score you need for the purpose of school or work. So hindi alam ng mga examiners kung anong band score ang kailangan ng candidate..

    Yung pag-recheck, same goes with BC. Kapag sobrang laki ng difference, they have 2nd examiner to re-evaluate kaya naka-record yung speaking exam. If you notice sa IELTS Writing Exam, meron dun parang 1st and 2nd na decision. So they usually evaluate talaga..

    Sa BC, ang raffle lang nila this year was a FREE IELTS EXAM and BC souvenirs. So if naka-bayad ka na, i-refund nila. If not, sympre di ka na magbayad. Other prizes was mugs, bags at pencil case. Pero di ko na-experience ung mga gadgets. Usually sa Facebook page nila ung mga ganyang prizes. Hehe. :)

    Yes @mimaahk, sosyal nga test centers.. Malamig din! Kailangan mag-jacket :))

    @issa, you can take it on the same day or puwedeng mauna ang speaking exam bago yung iba... I would suggest taking the exams on different dates para less stress and pressure :)

    Yep, kelangan magjacket at dala kayo ng matapang na candy para hindi antukin hehe...

    Regarding re-evaluations, they usually will entertain that kung 0.5 lang ang agwat sa nakuha mo...anything greater than that...umulit ka na lang ng exam :)

    @LokiJr yung re-evaluation kaya is applicable lang sa writing & speaking?... or pede din kahit sa reading & listening? :)

    @mimaahk, you can request for re-evaluation for Writing & Speaking Exams :) Mangyayari nun ibang assessor magchcheck ng exam mo.

    Yung Reading at Listening objective type questions kasi so there's no way for us to change the grades on that :)
