Consider these factors which i think may greatly affect your performance especially people taking the exam in the morning:
eating breakfast
proper sleep probably around 8pm to 10pm dapat tulog na kayo for optimum performance
drink water first thing in the morning before any other drinks
proper clothing e.g. jacket or naka pantalon kayo at socks na makapal para maiwasan ang shivering while taking the exam. basically keeping yourself warm parang magoolympics!
listen to music on your way to the exam center take it as a grain of salt gawin nyong mantra to importante masaya kayo papasok sa exam para makalimutan ang kaba
hehe share ko lang to kasi eto yung mga kababalaghang pinagagawa ko and it turned out okay for me way too okay for me hehehe

sabihin nalang po natin na nakuha ko na yung desired scores at more than pa sa ineexpect ko.
btw yung Listening at Speaking ko wala ako maiaadvise kasi nagcallcenter ako before for 2 years.
LISTENING siguro eto lang : be prepared to focus on listening at wag kayo magiisip in tagalog or nang kung ano ano pa practicin nyo yung tipong naiisolate nyo yung sarili ninyo from outside distraction, uminum kayo sa mga english sports bar at mangausap nang random foreigners kahit magkautal utal kayo sa alak at beer walang utal utal! >> hehe optional lang to.
manuod kayo nang aussie films e.g. wolfe creek 1-2 at kung ano anong western films siguruhin ninyong maiintindihan ninyo sinasabi nila nang walang subtitle.
SPEAKING - practice lang magsalita kahit magmukhang tanga minsan. madalas mukhang tanga talaga pero know this sa country na pupuntahan ninyo is english ang lengwahe so better suck it up or not deal with it, up to you.
reading = practice nyo academic 100% proven significantly will improve your scores under 5, 10, 15, 25 TIME pressure in minutes yan yung interval strikto dapat ang oras consider ninyo na fail kayo sa exam kapag dinaya nyo at hindi nyo nasunod ung oras na inalot nyo sa sarili ninyo, bakit? sa tunay na exam hindi nyo nakikita oras maliban sa malaking wall clock.
once hindi ninyo nafollow ang striktong oras at nagcheck na kayo answers at mali mali ulitin nyo yung buong proseso from listening to reading para maimprove concentration ninyo hanggang makamove on kayo sa writing to speaking. i know overly tedious to pero kinonsider ko sarili as no genius pagdating sa english kaya siguro nagset ako nang conditions na sobrang hirap sa sarili ko para maipush ko at ika nga sa paboritong cartoons ko
"magsupersaiyan ako" hoho
writing = bbc, english news papers, (no yahoo news), simon ideas for topics, 2 hours lunchbreak review, 2 hours evening review, hanap kayo nang native english speaker to check yung writing composition ninyo, make sure na kaya nyo ibreak yung cycle nang style ninyo kung hindi nagwowork last time iba naman approach
hindi necessary na gawin nyo yung normal na paraphrasing at firstly secondly thirdly minsan nakakairita pakinggan yun yung last writing exam ko brineak ko yung norm at nagsulat ako ayon sa dikta nang "puso" ko hehe hindi ko ginamit yan pero nakakuha ako mataas.
ito na siguro pinaka best way na kaya ko iambag sa community na ito : )
btw, GENERAL yung tinake kong exam
so ibebreak down in summary ko:
READING = academic practice dapat
WRITING = both kung kaya
SPEAKING = parehas lang pero make sure up to date kayo sa current events nang today's world
LISTENING = films more films, (sinuggest ko to kasi gusto ko yung learning curve ninyong lahat is maging enjoyable as possible at hindi kayo mapressure)
pasensya na po sa mahabang post pero take time to read baka makatulong
