    Saw my results na. L: 8.5 R: 8.5 W:7.5 S:7.0 OB: 8.0

    Kaka-disappoint. I was hoping for at least an 8.0 sana on all bands. :( Dapat kasi nag-prepare ako ng matagal at hindi pumetiks!

    wala pa akong nabalitaan..

    but still, an application can be denied based on several reasons:
    - medical condition (threat to public health)
    - criminal record/s
    - falsification of documents
    - etc..

    Yep, first take. Sayang nga lang yung 10 points pa sanang pwede ko makuha. Anyway, wala na akong magagawa kundi mag-move on or mag-retake. Haha. Ang mahal pa naman ng bayad sa exam so ayoko na ulitin, pwede na yang score na yan.

    @dreambig Cheer up! May bukas pa sabi nga nila :) Nag-research din ako about remarking kasi di ko din matanggap yung score ko. :D Hindi ko actually alam ang sagot sa tanong mo, pero suggestion ko lang i-try mo magpa-remark kasi madami dami din naman ang nabasa ko na na-adjust ang score after remarking.

    Pero ako nagdadalawang isip kung magpapa-remark ako kasi bukod sa mahal ang bayad, it would take at least 8 weeks para makuha ang result. Ano ba ang required band score for Accountants?

    got my IELTS result straight from BC office. Sadly I wasn't able to achieve my target band score. :'(

    Listening - 6.5 (inasahan ko na ito dahil nga nawala ako sa section 4)
    Reading - 7.5 (parang nadalian ako dito, baket kaya di ko na 8?)
    Writing - 7.0 (natuwa naman ako, eto yung weakness ko at minadali ko pa ang task 2)
    Speaking - 6.5 (this is unexpected, I was able to answer the interviewer quite well. sya nga puro "WHY" lang ang maisagot saken)

    Moving forward, I need to really take time to review and practice. Try and try until you get poor! [-O<

    @dreambig Cheer up! May bukas pa sabi nga nila :) Nag-research din ako about remarking kasi di ko din matanggap yung score ko. :D Hindi ko actually alam ang sagot sa tanong mo, pero suggestion ko lang i-try mo magpa-remark kasi madami dami din naman ang nabasa ko na na-adjust ang score after remarking.

    Pero ako nagdadalawang isip kung magpapa-remark ako kasi bukod sa mahal ang bayad, it would take at least 8 weeks para makuha ang result. Ano ba ang required band score for Accountants?
    Accountants need at least 7 in all parts of the IELTS exams...

    Academic IELTS yesterday. Feeling ko hindi aabot ng 7 scores ko lol.

    Sa speaking more on nagsusuot ka ba ng mga bags, like backpack, etc. Nagpapalit ng bag. Talk about importance ng weekend. Sino ang paborito mong kausap, bakit mo paborito at ano pinaguusapan nyo madalas. Importance ng communication, kaibahan ng communication sa bata at sa pakikipagusap sa matanda.

    Medyo mahirap2 hirap reading. OK pa yung writing. =(

    Good morning folks! Question po to those who have taken their IELTS... I am planning to book my IELTS dito sa BC sa SG, and I noticed there are slots which have the written & speaking test scheduled on the same date. Written sa morning, Speaking in the afternoon. Advisable po b to? I was thinking of getting a sched like this so I wouldn't need to file a VL for the weekday Speaking test but I am not entirely sure if it's a good idea having no knowledge ng amount ng stress involved if you take both exams on the same day. Baka may opinion po kayo dito. Hope to hear your thoughts mga IELTS gurus :) Thanks po!

    Naku, sabay mo na speaking sa lahat ng test. Ganun din yun, isang hirap nalang. 15-20 mins lang naman speaking parang kwentuhan lang kayo. hehe

    Agree with @vhoythoy - as much as possible, do everything in 1 day. you can save your VL and apart from that wala ka na ibang iisipin pa except the results... :)

    Ako magpapa-re-assess na kahit na aabutin pa ng 8 weeks baka sakaling umabot ng 8.0 yung writing saka speaking scores ko. :D Halos puno na yung ceiling sa occupation ko sa most likely kailangan ko pa mag-intay ng July.
