Failed again.
Well, mas bumaba pa reading ko from last time na 6.5 (S-7.5, W- 7.0, L-7.0, R- 6.5)
Why am I having so much difficulty with reading. Yung mga katabi ko 10-15 minutes before tpos na sila sa reading exam. I think they are just skimming the passages and not actually reading the whole. Ako kasi I read one paragraph then check all questions kung may sagot sa paragraph. Proceed to next paragraph, check all questions and so on and so forth.
Bakit sila mabilis matapos??
Also, what's your techniques sa matching info? What I do is read the one paragraph then choose the best answer from the choices. Next paragraph, choose and so on and so forth. I do it systematically (top-down). How about you guys?

@johnvangie, thanks already sent po.
@brspace, nahirapan din ako dun sa sports sa writing. I thought mga 6.0 lang ako kasi kung anu-ano lang pinagsusulat ko haha, but I noticed I made my words simple and may cohesion. Each para has a topic sentence then develop the topic sentence by giving examples. then each sentence dapat connected sa last. Tuloy2 ang flow. Do not digress! Luckily I got 7.0 hehe. But still so sad with my reading.

My favorite is reading which is why I wonder bakit nahihirapan yung iba. I got 9.0, 8.5 and 9.0 sa reading. I think there are two kinds of IELTS takers. Those who excel in reading and listening tulad ko and those who excel in writing and speaking tulad ng iba. When I take the IELTS sa reading, always mga 30-40 minutes I am done na and that included checking and re checking. Here are some tips on reading:
1. Do not read the article first. There are articles na hindi ko binasa all throughout and I am able to answer the questions. I only read the title to get an idea then diretso questions.
2. READ the questions and directions. Like look how many words are needed and usually if you have to get it directly from the article. Do not put words which are not in the article. Like kung kelangan 1 word lang yun that will be easy kase exact yun dun sa phrase na missing sya. Also remember, when filling up, kahit phrases lang yun kelangan check pa din grammar. When the grammar is off, it means that is not the answer.
3. T/F/NG? True if what is written in the question is stated in the article. False if it CONTRADICTS what is stated in the article. If wala sa dalawa, don't think. Not Given yun.
4. Paragraph headings. I think eto mejo mahirap because you have to read and understand the paragraph. What I do here is test taking strategies. Yung mga sure ko is cross out ko na. Like if A is for par. 2 cross out ko na yun. So less choices and pili na lang sa natira. Pero dapat talaga you have to understand the paragraph.
5. If it's too hard for you, leave it. Balikan mo na lang. Go to the next article or questions. All of them naman is equally 1 point each.
Ok wala na ako maisip. Hope this helps you guys. And nothing beats reviewing and practicing. I learned that the hard way.
Disclaimer: The tips above works for me. I cannot assure if they will work for everybody.

tanong ko lang po..pwede bang iparemark ang speaking?
Ang result kasi ng ielts ni hubby, kinulang ng .5 sa speaking e..
L -7.5
R- 7.5
W - 7.0
S- 6.5
Sobrang nakakapanghinayang yung .5..
haay..which is better ba?..retake na lang or iparemark yan?
Gaano ba kataas ang chance na mabago score niya sa speaking pag pinaremark yan?
thanks in advance sa mga magrereply..

@brspace yup sa BC KL, onga sayang di tayo nagkita. Mag-exam ulit ako sa 10 and 17 (probably my last exams, otherwise I have to accept the fact that I am not meant for Australia. drama hehe). Just let me know kung mag-exam ka din sa sked na yan.
@littlefinger and @yotsuba i appreciate your help.
I am learning a lot from your tips. I think di ko talaga need maintindihan buong passage. Ginagawa ko kasi I understand each and every sentence 'intensively' para masagutan ko effectively ang questions. But by doing so, I am wasting a lot of precious time. You are correct yotsuba, i should underline important keywords first and immediately think of synonyms para yun ang hahanapin ko sa passage. Just skim through the paragraph and look for the synonyms (reading with purpose)
Ok so madaling sabihin, mahirap naman gawin hehehe.
