    @filipinacpa defense and defence are both correct, because there's American and British spelling differences. Defense is American English, while defence are used by British,Australian and New Zealand English which are all accepted in IELTS standard.

    Thanks for this. I checked this to the grammar book and you are right. :)

    @filipinacpa it's Occupational English Test, the test was designed by Professor Tim McNamara at the University of Melbourne – one of the original developers of IELTS (International English Language Testing System) owned by Cambridge Boxhill Language Assessment and a joint venture between Cambridge English Language Assessment and Box Hill Institute. Para sa mga health care professionals, mas mahal sya sa IELTS pero mas madali para sa amin kasi hindi diverse ang topics, tungkol lahat sa profession namin kaya mas madali, yung friend ko nga na nasa AUS ito rin ang sinusuggest nya na kunin ko. Yung ibang nurses daw na kilala nya 3x na ng IELTS failed pa rin, nung nag take ng OET one take pasado. Ang band score dito is from A-E, unlike sa IELTS na 1-9. Kailangan maka A or B ako in all four bands. http://www.occupationalenglishtest.org/Display.aspx?tabid=2411

    @filipinacpa sinabi mo pa sis, kainis kasi yung pathway namin, yung assessment ko 3 components yun, yung 1st part pasado ako for educational qualification and work experience, yung 2nd part English test, then 3rd part qualifying exam, pag na cleared ko na ang lahat tsaka palang ako pwede mag claim ng 15points under skill select sa qualifications, kasi dun ko lang ma papatunayan na equivalent ako ng Australian graduate as Bachelor's degree, grabe talaga ito pahirap ng Aus!. Lahat ng pharmacist ganun ang pathway, tiis-tiis lang talaga, para sa pangarap.

    Eto pala yung questions ko:

    Writing:
    As a result of technology, adults are likely to work at home while children are likely to do home study. Is this a positive or negative development?

    Speaking:
    What shopping street do you go to?
    Why do you go there?
    What are the things you find there?
    What do you think of commercialism? Do you think people buys things even not needed?
    What effect online shopping has on small vendors?
