    Question po sa mga nakapag take na ng exams. Pwede ba magdala ng timer? Yung timer na pangluto na maliit lang. :) I don't want to buy na kasi a watch na may timer e. Sa IDP me mag take ng exam next week. :)

    Isa pa pong tanong, sa Reading nakaspecify ba don sa exam yung mga nasa reviewers na "you should spend 20 minutes on this passage"..

    TIA sa mga magrereply. God bless us all..

    @karl_amogawin mag-prepare ka ng maigi pre mahaba-habang hintayan kay IEA so puwede ka mag focus ngayon kay IELTS ang kagandahan ay walang changes sa SOL sa July 1 kaya pasok na pasok ang occupation mo.

    Updated yang signature ko pre, wala pa lang talagang kasunod, nakatengga pa rin.
    Kasi quota na ang 190 kaya nag aantay kami mag-reset sa July 1.

    Sir/Ma'ams, hingi po sana ako ng input regarding below concerns:

    1. During writing exam, alanganin ako kung sa 1st line or 2nd line magstart ng sulat. That is because at the top center portion ng answer sheet, just above the 1st line, may text na nakasulat and if magstart ako sa 1st line ay tatama sa nakasulat nayun. But since ang turo sa review center is magstart sa first line, ayun ang sinunod ko. Any idea po?

    2. Any dos' and don'ts po for writing?

    3. Also links in particular kasi magretake ako by August after ko maipasa ang docs sa EA.

    maraming slamat po in adv.

    1. Wala naman sigurong bearing yan kung 1st o second line ka magsusulat, yung content ang importante at penmanship na rin malamang.
    2. Do make sure to maximize your time and write legibly and understand your topic and start at the right foot. Proper momentum. Concentrate.
    20 minutes sa task 1 : 5 minutes brainstorming, 10 minutes writing and 5 minutes proofreading (nothing more nothing less dapat balanseng balanse)
    40 minutes sa task 2 : 5-10 minutes sa brainstorming including pagsusulat ng keywords 20 minutes magsulat at 5-10 minutes sa proofreading.

    Do not be distracted and wag na wag ka ma-idle tuloy tuloy lang ang flow.

    3. If you have dropbox account i can share some cambridge, and some other review materials.

    Goodluck sa next IELTS attempt.

    @johnvangie hello pa send din po sa [email protected] Thanks po!
    @karl_amogawin Already sent. Writing tips - practice lang na ino-orasan ng 1hr, kasi para during actual exam, sanay ka na sa 1hr exam. Si hubby naka 30 sets ng Writing practice bago nag retake... Iwasan na inuulit ang gamit ng words, dapat use synonyms. Need na di ma out of topic. Yun mga practice ni hubby na sinend ko, naka note dun ang mga correction ng checker... Good luck! Kayang kaya mo yan.

    hello sir, pwede po makuha yung link for the good news na no changes sa SOL this coming July 1? Thanks!
    @karl_amogawin mag-prepare ka ng maigi pre mahaba-habang hintayan kay IEA so puwede ka mag focus ngayon kay IELTS ang kagandahan ay walang changes sa SOL sa July 1 kaya pasok na pasok ang occupation mo.

    @johnvangie yup sa liit ng sulat ko, at haba ng essays ko umaabot sa bottom lines ng 2nd page, palagay ko ok ako sa length. baka sa content ako nadadali, may nabasa ako na need mgkaron ng topic sentence per paragraph. Ilang paragraph po ba usually yung composition ng hubby mo for task two? pati sa task one narin. ako kasi usually 6-8 paragraphs.

    @danz1213 more chances of mistake daw pag too long. Sa task 1, ideal is 180 words, sa task 2, mga 280 words, up to 4 paragraph. Tsaka mwawalan ka na hg time mag check pag masyado mahaba. Yun mga sinend ko na actual na sagot ni hubby, we make it sure na nag comply sa minimum number of words pero mga over lang ng 30 words...

    @danz1213 very important na nasagot mo ang topic na hinihingi sa task 1 and 2. Pag chine check ko ang mga writing practice ni hubby, pinapaulit ko pag out of topic na yun sinulat nya. Tsaka mag cite din ng example sa task 2. Much better kung may mag gauge ng mga practice mo.

    @danz1213 Sa www.writefix.com, explain nila dun ang use ng 3773 sa question na discuss both sides, it means 3 sentence sa 1st paragraph -introduction, 7sentence sa pros, 7sentence sa cons, then 3sentence sa summary. Then yun 35553 para sa question na isang side lang na answer, for example, you opt to answer na positive views, so 3sentence na introduction, 5sentence/3 paragraph na you state 3 views or sample, then 3 sentence na summary so bale max of 5 paragraph...

    Question po sa mga nakapag take na ng exams. Pwede ba magdala ng timer? Yung timer na pangluto na maliit lang. :) I don't want to buy na kasi a watch na may timer e. Sa IDP me mag take ng exam next week. :)

    Isa pa pong tanong, sa Reading nakaspecify ba don sa exam yung mga nasa reviewers na "you should spend 20 minutes on this passage"..

    TIA sa mga magrereply. God bless us all..
    may timer na dun sa mismong board tapos every 20 minutes ireremind kayo nang proctor kung ilang oras na lumipas or minutes basically ikaw lang may hawak nang oras mo pero dapat pagka start nang exam lalo sa writing makita mo what time kayo nagstart tapos dun mo pagbasehan kung ilang minuto kana sa task 1...: )

    totoo lang medyo nakakairita yung mayat maya nireremind ka kasi natataranta ka e IMO


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