Baka last week ng May or first week June. Sana makalusot na. Buti ka pa malapit mo ng makamit ang OZ dream mo hehehe!

sonsi_03

@michel_75 sana nga po maka-finish line na. Basta focus lang po kayo sa IELTS in the meantime at tingnan natin ang mga changes after July 1, sana favourable para tuloy tuloy lang ang application natin.

Oo nga. Ipagdasal natin yan ng bongang bonga hehehe

Hello, I also took the exam last 15 March and I am so depressed with reading.

S - 7.5
W - 7.0
L - 7.0
R - 6.5

Mejo nahirapan ako sa reading. Kailangan pala maka-34 out of 40 to get 7.0.. Parang ang hirap naman maka-34.

Need to retake.

@the_adventurer

papi pwede remark yan...mas maganda lagay mo kesa saken kung pwede lang idistribute mga scores mas maganda hahaha

the_adventurer

Really, pwede paremark? sabi kasi hindi daw kasi fixed na ang sagot sa R at L.

I remember I put T instead of TRUE, F instead of False and NG instead of Not Given. Sabi naman tinatanggap daw nila pero baka may deduction pionts. Akalain mo yung speaking pa na pinakanahihirapan ako ang pinakamataas hehe. salamat sa tulong mo sa tips mo sa speaking. sinwerte lang ako sa examiner na mabait hehe. may mga times din na mga 5 seconds ako bago nakasagot sa question. Sana ma-maintain yan sa next exam ko hehe

onga kung pwede lang i-distribute ang scores or sana kung ano yung below 7, yun lang ang i-retake hehe

Just a question... if I retake IELTS but the result is lower than my previous, can I still submit my previous result rather that the latest?

My current result now if R:6 L:6.5 W:7 S:7 which is good enough for me to proceed since I already reached 60pts.
Age:32 = 30pts
ACS Assessment (Work Experience): 8 yrs = 15pts
ACS Assessment (Education ): comparable to AQF Bachelor Degree with a major in computing = 15pts
suitable for migration under 263111 (Computer Network and Systems Engineer) of the ANZSCO Code

Please advise.

Thanks in advance.

Hi @sonsi_03 and sa lahat ng classmates ielts batch march 15!! Eto result ko
L 8.5
R 7.5
W 6.5
S 8.0

Kainis ang W grrrrr...magkano po ba remarking sa BC? Feeling ko my fighting chance pa ko na ma.beat ang July 1. Kung pa.remark ako asap,mtanggap ko sa may 30. Pa.assess agad (kung mahila to 7 ang W).

Wtya think guys?

sonsi_03

@hopeful_mea 8 weeks ang remark, S$185 not sure kung magkano yan sa peso. Ngayon, iisipin mo kung worth it ba na magpa remark, sa pakiramdam mo unjust yung score na binigay sa iyo go ahead. Pero kapag alanganin talaga ang writing mo at naghahabol ka na ng oras, my advice is take the soonest IELTS schedule available.

hopeful_mea

sonsi_03 hndi po ba nila tinaasan ang W nyo after ngpa.remark?

@persephone30 kaloka po R nyo prfect! Nkapag.decide na ba kyo if it's retake or remark? Pwdeng pakopya na lng ng desisyon?npagod na ko mg.isip :O

hopeful_mea

Pano kung matanggal na occupation natin by july, knocking on wood, our ielts will not be wasted right? Kc we can opt for 190? :-/

hopeful_mea

@sonsi_03 hey Godbless sa visa! Tuloy2 na yan. And i envy you kc you were not at the mercy of IELTS like many of us here.

hopeful_mea

Tsk..cge..btw sir @sonsi_03 sa pg.papa.assess ng skill, in my case sa CPAA,kelangan ba anjan na agd ang hard copy ng ielts test result?

sonsi_03

@hopeful_mea Unfortunately sa 2 beses akong nagpa remark, my writing score remained unchanged. You can opt for 190 just along as nasa SNOL po ang occupation ninyo.

Wag po kayo mag-envy dahil lahat po ng naka-grant at naka-lodged na eh dumaan diyan sa IELTS na yan. Instead take it as a challenge na makakarating din kayo sa lodging stage and eventually the grant. :-bd

Kelangan ninyo ng hard copy for CPAA assessment according sa site. So you should be getting it in few days time, unless na ipi-pick up po ninyo sa BC ang orig test results.

Q. How do I provide my IELTS documentation?

A. A certified true copy of your IELTS Test Report Form must be sent to CPA Australia with your other supporting documents.

@hopeful_mea panira nga po ang writing, wala pa rin akong points makukuha... plan ko po magpa remark baka lng magka miracle hehe... kung mapa early ang result ng remarking tas positive naman ang skills assessment baka di nako mag retake... if not, most likely retake ako sa late april or early may.

hopeful_mea

Thanks sa pgpapa.inspire sir @sonsi_03! Itulog ko na nga lang muna to.

What's your profession mam? @persephone30? Sorry cp gamit ko now hirap mg.back read heheh..parang im thinking of retaking april na lang. Mukhang mas mabilis yun,delikado mtanggal sa list prof ko e #:-S

hopeful_mea

@sonsi_03
Oo nga din..looking back, i dont think i did good sa writing so if i opt for remarking bka sayang lng pera. Sobrang nghabol ako sa oras nun.

sonsi_03

@hopeful_mea no worries. sleep well

sonsi_03

@sonsi_03
Oo nga din..looking back, i dont think i did good sa writing so if i opt for remarking bka sayang lng pera. Sobrang nghabol ako sa oras nun.

3 options:

1. Retake
2. Remark only (risky and long wait 50/50 chances)
3. Do both. (money constraints but more chances to achieve passing score)

Do not waste time if you choose option 1, register ka na kung me available kang budget.

Remember, this is your lifetime investment kaya kung me pera naman for the test, just carry on.

tama mga advice ni sir @sonsi_03..Im more on a system admin field pero ni nominate ko eh Computer Network and Systems Engineer... konti lng hinhandle namin na network pero ni risk ko na since close na yung mga sys ad na jobs for SS.

im planning to remark den retake sa May. so if everything is well, makahabol pa before july. sa yo since naghahabol ka oras and kung mi budget ka naman...do both pra may backup ka... if issue ang budget for both, retake I think is the best option.

sonsi_03

@persephone30 kung sa writing ang problema, i would recommend na aralin nyo yung mga lessons ni IELTS Simon very interesting tsaka marami kayong matutunan doon. I can share a copy if you want.

Hi Sir, newbie sa pagcomment.. puro basa basa lang po ako. Pwede din po ba makahingi ng copy ng kay Simon. Sablay ang writing ko, plano ko sana paremark sa BC Singapore kaso baka no change lang. undecided pa ako... any suggestion? 6.5 ang score ko sa Writing

sonsi_03

@ArvieP Mahirap po natin kasi i-assume na tataas ang score pag nagpa-remark pero kung optimistic po tayong tataas nga at confident naman sa ginawa nating essay if it is worth taking the shot at meron naman pong budget, why not? Go for remark. Ngayon sir kung sa tingin po ninyo you can do much better on sitting for another exam you can simply register and have that sweet revenge at the same time save some SGDs while you achieve your desired scores. In my experience with IELTS 2 remarks at 4 takes po ako, I did a lot of practice pero aminado ako medyo me gap ako sa Writing 2-3 days ko lang pina-practice dati yan kasi but in the end that is where I always fail. So give more time to practice in Writing well of course wag po ninyo pabayaan yung 3 modules, balanse lang kumbaga. If you have dropbox i can share my materials po sa inyo. Goodluck.

@sonsi_03
Salamat Sir pero girl po ako . Yun nga sabi ng husband ko retake na lang pero this time IDP naman. Kakafrustrate lang din kc feeling ko madali, at confident ka na na pasado. Pero yun nga po ang mali pag sumobra sa confidence. hehe. Nagbasa lang din kasi ako ng sample writings sa internet. puro basa walang practice. Mali tlga ginawa ko. Gusto ko rin makuha yang sweet revenge na yan... This time di na kelangan ang petics, mahal ng exam. Kelangan n siguro magleave before ng exam para makaconcentrate sa review. Eto po email address ko [email protected]. Salamat po.

@sonsi_03 hello, does the Simon's e-book that you have is the same with this one? https://www.dropbox.com/sh/j8islzkkry6ub1c/1Fmok68q3m
