    Listening was average. I totally missed two items in sections 3 and 4. In section 3, multiple choice number 29, I think, the question was about Lynne's opinion. In Section 4, (blank) observed on town walls by one researcher suggest blah blah blah. I wrote a colleague while listening but the answer seemed unfit. I wasn't able to listen anymore... I made a guess.

    I am not also sure about the time in section 1. Was it 4:30 or 6:30?


    Reading was easier than the last time I took it. Ten items were dedicated to true, false, ng. I didn't have time to review my answers in passage 3. Section headings was really confusing in passage 2.
    Hello @Born, same tayo ng problem sa Listening test.. it was a bit tricky. Section 1 pa lang nawala nako sa focus, not sure kung magkano ung fee if 2.50 ba or 6:50 (kasi parang my sinabi sya na mas mahal di ko lang narinig). Then sa time din but I still answered 4:30 kasi un ung after, ung 7:30 start then 6:30 is pag pumunta sila an hour before start.
    ____ was observed on the temple walls by experts/researchers (Paintings lang ang pwedeng imatch. Dahil di ako sure sa term ng mga wall sculptures kaya paintings lang ang wild guess ko.) Plus ung ilang types of bones 162 __ di ko na masundan. Grrr....

    I hope we get 7 sa listening dahil walang chance na ire-mark yun. :(

    I am sure about 2.50 because it was the booking fee, the other price stated was the ticket fee itself. I Am not really sure if I answered 4:30 or 6:30, I erased it so many times I can't remember my final answer.

    Paintings was my answer too. It was really a wild guess. I don't really remember hearing that word.

    I am now a bit terrified. Haha.

    I don't remember that part on bones. Some of the answers I can remember were: 10,000, women, big toe, paintings, ground, stone, bacteria.

    How was the reading part?

    @cylin its 162 individuals, and 2.50 because they are looking for much cheaper booking fee, the 1st choice on the list is 5.0 right? so I answered 2.50. I heard according to the tapescript that the activities in the pictures on the town walls observed by one of the researchers blah blah, so I answered The PICTURES, but I dont know if I got it right. :(
