    iniintay ko lang mga bossing at mam yung confirmation nang ahente...excited ako kasi nakaraos na din sa ielts compliance pero akala ko kasi makukuha ko sobrang baba tipong di ko magugustuhan tapos sobrang dramatic nang effect nito sa application ko...yun pala hinde...

    kaya naover excited din ako sa mga lumitaw na numbers...anyway atleast IMO alam ko capacity ko lang pagdating sa english...: )

    I haven't lost everything except my mind...

    "CAMBRIDGES 1-9"

    sobrang kelangan yan...eto lang papasa talaga lahat kayo...unless hindi nyo iintindihin yung material...nasa sa inyo na yun

    You only need to take GT but there is no restriction that you can't take Academic if you want to.
    Korek. If you're assessing authority doesn't require ielts, you can either take gt or acad your choice. Either DIBP does not require a specific module of ielts.:)

    awwww nakita ko na online scores ko from IDP...heartbroken ng V-Day

    Listening - 8
    Reading - 9
    Speaking - 7
    Writing - 6.5
    OBS = 8

    i need at least 7 for each section.

    I was worried sa score ko for speaking coz I thought hindi masyado maganda yun interview...it went fast and I was talking too fast. yun writing (together with R/L) medyo confident ako kase hindi naman ganun kahirap yun topics ko, letter to tell a friend good news. saka something about people joining dangerous sports.

    gaano katagal pag nagpa recheck? saka how much? short pa naman sa budget T_T

    @fyi_12 mataas naman yung results mo sa iba, I have a good feeling na successful magiging remarking mo for writing. P7K ata EOR fee pero mas matagal lumabas result around a month or longer ata. Not sure, may mga remarking threads dito check mo n lang.

    it is your own gutfeel if you are confident that your writing score shall go up. pero you might want to consider a plan B which is sitting for another test while waiting for remark results which takes about 8 weeks or less. in my case i did remarking twice with no luck.

    @sonsi_03..i see. mataas din scores mo sa ibang sections, pero no luck pa din sa pagpapa recheck. unahin ko muna yun pa recheck akala ko nasa 5k lang halos same price din pala ng exam fee. :-O

    @appledeuce sana nga maging totoo ang paniniwala natin =)). pero i might reconsider na din sitting in for another exam. matagal din kase yun result pala ng remarking, tapos not sure din naman how it will go. #-o

    @filipinacpa and the rest

    mga sir at madam...i stand corrected, mali pala ako nang assumption at the same time advise na din nang agent ko...pasensya sa misinformation...sorry sa lahat..akala ko lusot na din..**sigh

    though medyo nakakalungkot hindi pala counted yung present year ko for years experience for work...so pasok lang ako sa 3 years or more...sayang..8 na yung kasama present pero hindi pala ito yung kaso for my recent..

    kelangan ko daw pala ipasa yung IELTS which is a very daunting task para saken dahil yung skilled occupation ko nagrerequire din (talking about a case of misunderstood in my part), iniisip ko tuloy paano iimprove yung tatlong bands ko hindi ako pinapatulog nito haha:

    writing
    reading
    listening

    sana po may makatulong, speaking for me is easier than the 3 kasi considering yung grades ko itong tatlo yung pinaka malas, saka english kasi normal na language dito SG though hindi ganun ka precise still english pa din sa nature nang work ko kelangan lagi makipag communicate eto ok lang ako..

    gaano kaya katagal ako magpeprepare i have my march 15th schedule na pinili ko...

    enough kaya yung for 1 month magprepare ako 2-3 hours a day ako magrereview?...or i adjust ko pa kung maari?...maraming salamat po sa lahat...

    I haven't lost everything except my mind...

    two parts po ang writing. first part is graph/table interpretation then second part which has more points, is essay writing for a certain topic/question.

    @thegreatiam15
    papa remark ko po muna, if ever I'll take another test baka april na since we have releases/ongoing projects now sa work. Ace the IELTS eBook ang magandang guide. Meron sya useful tip and study guide. Nun nag review ako weekends lang may time, hindi ako masyado din nakapag practice esp sa writing and speaking, parang ang ginawa ko lang eh read through topics from previous exams (ielts simon site) tapos list down guide/topics on how to attack the question, kase kahit sa school dati ganun ang strategy ko.


    ganun pala mga questions sa writing, akala ko mga interpretation ng graph
    sa Academic module po yata yun may graph sa writing. Sa general na module, letter yun first part (150 words) then essay yun second part (250 words). Second part has more weight/points.
