Congratulations to all who achieved their desired IETLS test scores!!
Goodluck to those sitting the test today!!
I just wonder, how long does it take to wait for decision on EOR?
Wouldn't the turnaround time be too long?
Sabagay, if you were confident to demand for a remarking and sayang din nga ang bayad.. Definitely hnde sya mura.. Pangshopping pa sana this Christmas;)
Goodluck and Godbless everyone!
