    @dreambig hi dreambig! i just took the acad exam last Sat.. sobra sa haba ang mga passages and time is the greatest enemy when it comes sa acad reading tlga. When it comes to answering, try not to focus too much on the first passages - ako kc dahil medyo gusto ko i-sure mga sagot ko sa 1st 2 passages, so bawas ang tym na natira ko for the final passage and i realized mas madadali sagutan ang mga questions sa last passage. so see to it tlga na mapagkasya ang time till the last questions. I had no time to review na, sakto lang sa "pens up" ni invigilator :)
    God is good! sana okay pa rin ang results :)

    @aeyo10 Exactly! Ang nangyari skin I focus too long sa reading passage 1&2 then 15 mins ntira for passage 3. Ayun nataranta na ko, wala na pumapasok sa utak ko sa last passage. Hinulaan ko na tlg mga sagot dun. :( Nkakataranta pa lalo pag announce nila time remaining, distracting tlg.
    Anyway, best of luck! balitaan mo kmi. Sobrang kainip din mag intay result.

    @dreambig, pareho tayo ng naging pakiramdam.. distracting ang announce sila ng announce ng time when for our case there's a big timer in front namn to look at from time to time if you want to. i practiced on long passages pero natatawa ako na di hamak na mas mahahaba pa ang nasa actual test. Well we can only hope for the best! :) sa 26 pa results namin.

    Ginawa ko nung IELTS exam ko nagdala ako ng watch na may lap time. Tapos binigyan ko sarili ko ng siguro 5 to 10 minutes per passage. Pagkatapos ng 10 minutes finished or not finished dederetso na ako sa susunod na tanong :)

    Question lang po tungkol sa IELTS points...

    Halimbawa, running points ko po ay 55

    Age - 30 pts
    Skilled employment outside Australia - 10 pts
    Educational qualification - 15 pts

    Kung sakali po bang makakakuha ako ng 6 or 6.5 points sa Speaking module at mabigyan ako ng OBS na 7 (or halimbawa 7 sa Reading, Writing, at Listening). Since may 6 or 6.5 points ako, required ba na mag-retake pa rin ako kahit ok naman ang OBS (7) ko? Considering din na hindi ako mag-aaply for Regional Sponsorhip?

    kung target nyo po makakuha ng 10pts sa 7.0 band ng ielts, dapat po 7.0 sa lahat SLRW ;-)

    Question ko naman: if ever 55points ka and ang pang puno sa 60points ay manggaling sa SS, makakapag lodge kaba sa Skill Select? on the case of Renjo, 55pts sya, though 6.5 nakuha nya sa ielts, pasok sa isang State sponsor ship, makakapag lodge kaya sya?

    Thanks @legato09,

    Good question. What if may 55 points ako tapos OBS - 6.5 lang ang IELTS. Pwede po ba mag State Sponsorship na lang ako to get 5 points so that Ill get the minimum 60 pts requirement. Maganda ba yung ganong plan? o mas maganda kumuha na lang uli ako ng IELTS?
