    Took the Academic module in Singapore last month. Reading and Listening 8.5, Writing 8, Speaking 9. Very happy with my results :) Napansin kong writing talaga ang pinakamababa sa karamihan. Praktis praktis lang. Yung sinulat ko akala ko mga 7+ lang makukuha ko. Nag-bolpen ako sa exam, nakatulong kaya yun? Hehe kumbaga inisip nung checker, "oh my, she's brave... plus points!" :))

    Sa reading, may yes/no/not given sa amin, confusing rin yun kaya makakatulong na magpractice test.

    Good luck sa mga mag-e-exam!

    May your amazing scores rub off on all of us soon-to-be takers. :D

    Dalawang tulog na lang!

    Dun pala sa Yes-No-NG questions, I know this should be intuitive (hello, common sense!) but I found it really helpful to use the process of elimination. Is it TRUE? No. Is it FALSE? No. Then it must be Not Given. :))

    Sorry I'm babbling. Nervous energy. :D
