Confirmation lang po...

Nakuha ko na results ko...L-7.0 R-7.5 W-7.0 S-7.5 OBS-7.5

Ibig po ba sabihin wala rin ako makukuha ng IELTS points dahil may 7.0 ako sa score band? I recall sabi ni @multitasking na dapat above 7.0 makuha ko para makakuha ng extra points?

Congrats Renjo...buti ka pa, me, as expected i got 5 in writing since I was not able to finished both tasks. Nahihirapan talaga ako since nasa early 40's na ako, medyo mapurol na rin, and then my job puro numbers and formulas, most of the time sila variables x and y lang ang nakikita ko. here are the results of my exam L/R/S - 7.0, W - 5.0 (huhu) OBS - 6.5

@guro_ako me too. ang baba ng writing ko. i dont know why i got 5.5 eh natapos ko naman and maayos essay ko. i think na off-topic ako or other reasons. hayz. i dont know what to do now, if I'll go retake or enroll in a english language course in OZ. malapit na pasukan and I am too late.

guro_ako

@amedina di mo ba nameet yung required ielts grade ng prospective course and school mo? take the next exam available, if may extra budget ka pa, if wala naman, try other course and school. sa case ko naman, i might take the last exam for the year, try and try until makuha yung desired grade. kasehodang maging hobby ka na ang magtake ng ielts every month, lol!

8 na pala an kelangan. Hirap naman.

@guro_ako yap I did not met their required score (all 7.0). I think hindi na muna ako mag retake kasi I am not sure if makukuha ko na for the third time. I am

Hi... im sorry to hear na di ko makuha yung desired score mo.... ako.. i've taken the IELTS 3x and laging Writing yung bumababa sa 7.0 .. noong ni analyze ko yung first two ielts ko.. i noticed na parang na limit yung mga ideas ko.. kasi lagi kong iniisip yung structure based sa mga review materials....parang im thinking more of the structure rather than yung mga ideas... ayon feeling ko laging kulang sa 450 words yung nasusulat ko.. on my third try.. i tried my best to be more relax... still think of the structure but make sure na di ako nalimit sa ideas... ayon.. at the end humingi pa ako ng extra sheet of paper.. parang nag flow ng husto yung mga ideas ko... then ok naman yung structure... thank God.. naka 7.0 ako...

Hope this helps...

Helo po question, yung sa Writing, hand writing po ba yun or type using keyboard?
Worried kasi ako sa handwriting ng asawa ko pang doctor baka mahirapan magbasa ang examiner hehe..

iammaxwell1989

@alexamae Handwriting.

RobertSG

@multitasking inspirasyon ka Sir! Sana makuha ko na rin sa ika 3rd time ko. hehe. Hindi ko mai-7 ang writing ko

@RobertSG : kaya yan sir...basta focus lang at isipin nyo lang san kayo nagkamalis sa previous exams nyo. good luck!

R_Yell

Hi all...pls help me confirm na ung IELTS Center dw ang sabihan na magpadala ng IELTS TRF sa DIAC and AITSL (teachers' assessing body)??? totoo ba yan? panu ako magkaroon ng kopya?

thanks for the reply.

LokiJr

Congrats sa mga kumuha ng exam. IELTS all 7 will give you 10 points...all 8 will give you 20 points. Di naman katapusan ng mundo kung di kayo umabot sa 7 (unless your visa / occupation requires you to get that)...kasi marami pa namang paraan para makakuha ng additional points

joestrummer

@R_Yell, usually po tinatanong nila after ng exam if you want to pick-up the results or send through regular mail kung medyo alangan po kayo dito kung paano yung sa inyo you can always call them up to ask kung paano makukuha yung results niyo basta kumpleto detalye kayo like yung ID number and yung Candidate Number ng IELTS.

Then yung para sa assessing body, meron po usually list ang IELTS kung anong mga assessing body ang kelangan po e galing sa kanila (IELTS) yung results and scanned copies are not accepted. Tignan tignan niyo po sa website nila most likely naka-post po yun. Yung pagsend naman po sa from IELTS to Assessing body, may babayadan na po kayo diyan for the courier pero hindi naman kamahalan. Try to ask din po yung Test Center niyo kung paano process nila. Dito kasi sa may lugar ko online na lang yung request ng TRF to be sent to the assessing body pati payment is online maaaring iba po diyan sa Indonesia.

Hope this helps.

hi guys... help naman... dahil sa sked ko... and sa travel (out of the country) due to current project... d ako makahanap ng tamang sked sa IELTS... the only possibility I have on taking the exam is to take it in Hongkong... has anyone tried taking it abroad? where do I get information on the process and registration details. I hope you guys can help me... I really want to take it this dec 1 so I can joing the invitation round for december... help...

cchamyl

hi @joestrummer

can you give some tips on how you prepared for the exam? you got really good scores...

cchamyl

@LokiJr

i totally agree with you... i started my blog because I was inspired with what Kath Madula did... Having a blog is a great practice since you get to think on how to construct your sentences in ways that readers will understand. This method enhances the comprehension part of the 4C's rule in writing essays.

hi @amedina

if you decide to take the IELTS exam again, I hope the following tips will help you in the writing part of the exam. First, practice writing. You can do this by starting a blog which I did. It helped me a lot. Second, look for writing tips on the net. I found a very good tip I learned from writefix.com and this is to use the 3773 technique. I find this technique very useful in constructing paragraphs and gathering your thoughts.

cchamyl

hi @iammaxwell1989

can you also send the reviewers to me? it would really help a lot.

joestrummer

@cchamyl ,

Kung abroad po niyo plan mag-ielts try to look at the website nung ielts po for that certain country. (eg. www.ielts.co.kr - Korea not sure po kung ano sa HK)


With regards to po sa band scores ko, I answered everything on Cambridge 7 and 8 except for the Academic Modules on which nagtry lang ako then concentrated on the General Training Modules sa Reading and Writing.

I concentrated on writing, as in I wrote and wrote and timed myself. After which there are some samples din naman sa Cambridge (Actual answers with Evaluator's comments/Model Answers) and try to measure my ability to write. A good thing to take note in writing I think is concentrating on the content all the while thinking of coherence, organization and vocabulary. Medyo mahirap pero kaya naman po with practice.

Sa speaking, I was not able to practice that much but I did try to answer some questions in the internet. One advice ko lang is keep your answers short, concise and complete lalo na for parts 1 and 3. Ang naging problema ko diyan is pinuputol na ako even though di pa ako tapos magsalita. Ayun pala kelangan niya tapusin lahat ng tanong and it should be done in 14minutes. Sa madaling salita. Madaldal po ako.


Anyway feeling ko po medyo tsamba lang din po yung score ko. Hope this helps.

@iammaxwell1989 Thank you.. Haayy isa to sa challenge namin, ang handwriting nya.

iammaxwell1989

@alexamae Me too. Be sure to bring extra pencils so that you don't have to sharpen during the exams. yung katabi ko nakakatawa isang kahong mongol and dinala.

cchamyl

thanks @joestrummer

yup... i've looked it up... and they still have open slots for dec 8... so happy... thank you for the advice... i did the same.. i'm practicing both my writing and speaking skills religiously... i'm very fortunate to have very supportive colleagues who tolerate me speaking to them in english... HAHAHAH... having foreign clients helped as well... if you can check my blog and give your inputs on what I need to improve on, i'd really appreciate it. my blog is theaussiedream.blogspot.com...
