    @hotshot: Thank you... download ko maya pagdating sa bahay.
    May suggestion po ba kayo kung saan OK mag-exam? kung IDP ba or BC?

    Hindi pa ako nakakakuha ng schedule ng exam, online po ba ito?
    Help!
    para sa akin same lang po sila kasi standardized naman yung exams. ako po sa BC kumuha. :)
    Pwede po ba malaman ano ang naging steps ninyo sa pagkuha ng schedule + exam?
    Online daw po kasi pati payment eh.
    Thanks po.

    @arlene5781, pag sa reading exam po, try to highlight the key words in the questions...then go back to the article and scan it one paragraph at a time...Kumbaga magiging process of elimination gagawin niyo...mas madali makuha yung sagot sa ganitong paraan hehe

    Hi everyone! I'm undecided if sa IDP or BC ako take ng ielts.
    I heard some say that IDP is easier than BC esp sa speaking daw.
    In addition, mas mataas daw magbigay ng grade sa idp?
    How true is this?

    GT po ba ang test module for Skills sa AU?
    Thanks po sa info. :)

    @iammaxwell1989 kung impressive naman yung sagot mo e walang bearing yung bilis...although pina-play back nila yung interview at kung wala silang naintindihan, dun lang siguro magkakaproblema hehe

    @cnel_26, standardised po yung exams at grading so walang kaibahan kung IDP or BC...
