Hi Amedina, Pinoy ba nag-interview sa 'yo o foreigner?

Ako kasi kahapon naman, sa IDP Makati.

Sa Oct 27 din yung ibang modules ko, sa Hotel Intercontinental

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?

@Renjo, puede ka naman mag lodge na, malay natin baka mainvite ka na sa 60points mo, or habang nag hihintay ng invitation eh mag ielts ka ulit baka maka 7.0 ka, then update mo lang yung eoi mo para tumaas yung score mo. Ngayon, importante ang 7.0 lalo sa mga ANZCo Code na ito ang required.

@amedina, naku kung 'umms' lang yung inaalala niyo sa speaking exam, malamang maganda kalalabasan ng results niyo

@j_sky good luck sa exam hehe

@amedina, naku kung 'umms' lang yung inaalala niyo sa speaking exam, malamang maganda kalalabasan ng results niyo

@j_sky good luck sa exam hehe

gumamit din ako ng umms, isama mo pa ang "I never thought of that, well, let me think"..
sabi sa mga blogs, magandang gumamit ng mga "fillers" sa speaking module wag lang sobra baka mahalatang hindi ka prepared.. So sana magclick this time ung strategy ko.

amedina

LokiJr: parang naparami nga ahmms ko eh pero sana 7.0. ang cute nung examiner ko kasi she's jolly kaya nag enjoy ako. compare to my last examiner na soo boring, poker face pa. hehe.

Hello po, sa mga nag ielts nuong 13 Oct sa IDP. Na check nyo na ba online ang results? ilang beses ko sinubukan check online pero no results pa din kahit na nandun na sa list ang oct 13 results.

Anyone here with same experience?

dreambig

@Isyut Hi Isyut! Ganyan din experience ko sa BC nung early morning pero mga 10 am meron n rin. sbi rin nman kc smin nung exam 3pm mag start mag check ng result, pero excited lng.

Isyut

@dreambig chineck ko again ngayun indi pa rin 'no results found' di ko maintindihan bakit. Baka sa fields ko ng kamali

Nakuha mo naba results mo?

Sa BC ako nagIELTS, alam ko 10am nirerelease ang results. I just saw mine, L = 8.5, R=8.0 ,W=8.0 ,S=7.0 OBS = 8.0.

Sayang ang 20 pts. (

dreambig

@iammaxwell1989 WoW! ang galing mo naman! Big Congratulations! pa remark mo kaya speaking...

@Isyut Last Sept ung skin, ganyan din nung una, pero maya maya lang meron na. Try mo ulit. But I failed that one, so I will retake this Nov.

Isyut

@iammaxwell1989
WOW congrats sayu!!! Pwede ka mg remark baka ma change pa to 8 ang speaking mo at maka 20pts sayang din.

Sakin wala pa rin di ko ma gets bakit no results found ang sa IDP

iammaxwell1989

@dreambig, I was thinking that. Pero may bayad di ba? Magkano?

amedina

@iammaxwell1989: galing mo! sana ganyan din scores ko. for student visa like me, taas na nyan. kainggit.

dreambig

@iammaxwell1989 $185 po pagkakaalam ko...malay mo, sayang ang additional 10 points..

Isyut

@dreambig
Ganon po ba? Sana maka 7 manlang ako dun. Take 2 na kasi dun :-(
Sayang ang gastos

dreambig

@Isyut Ganyan din skin nung una no results found, baka naglo-loadi pa cla. Double check mo rin details mo. Take 2 ko na rin this Nov, need to pass syang ang $310.

iammaxwell1989

@Isyut: If you do that, what are the chances that you'll get a better score? Were there cases na mas bumaba yung score? Sayang yung 20 pts, pang-PR na sana after 476. haha.

@amedina: I'm sure ok din scores mo. Update mo kami.

Meron pala kong reviewers, lahat yata ng nasa british council meron ako soft copy, di ko lang alam kung paano ko ishashare kasi mga 20Gb yung size.

dreambig

Kamusta rin kaya cla @aeyo at @RobertSG, alam ko ngaun din results ng IELTS nila.

iammaxwell1989

@iammaxwell1989 $185 po pagkakaalam ko...malay mo, sayang ang additional 10 points..

Malaki din pala, that's roughly 7k. I'll check kung hanggang kelan pwede magparemark. Nakakahinayang kasi ang 7k. hehe.

dreambig

@iammaxwell1989 If di po kayo magpapa-remark ano ang estimated scores nyo for DIAC?

iammaxwell1989

@dreambig: I'm applying for Visa 476 which is actually not points tested. But I'm looking forward sa PR application.

Eto yung magiging computation ko when I apply for PR visa.

Age = 30
IELTS = 10
*EA = 15
*Experience =5 (At least one year Oz experience)
------------
Total = 60 pts

dreambig

@iammaxwell1989 Hmmm you are looking at 60 points pala, but it is advisable kung mas mataas ang points pag apply ng PR, more chances of getting an invite very soon. If I were you I give it a shot sa pa remark ;;)

iammaxwell1989

@dreambig Sige try ko siguro. If I got 8 sa speaking 70 pts na yun. Sure ball. Oh well.

dreambig

@iammaxwell1989 Excited na ko pra sayo...balitaan mo kami ha.
