    Results of IELTS last February 2, 2013 are finally out!

    I got L-7.5 R-7.5 S-8.0 W-6.5 :(

    Should I ask for a remark? How long would it take to get results? And how much? I took my IELTS with IDP.
    @islaman I think you should try out remarking, isang module na lang sayo, it cost 7k and waiting period of 8 weeks.

    I got a heartbreaker also:
    L-8.0 R-7.0 S-6.5 W-6.0

    I already knew medyo sabit ako sa writing but speaking hmm... Anyway! Charge to experience :)

    May sinuwerte ba sa batch natin? Almost made it but not quite

    L-9.0 R-8.5 W/S-6.5 OBS:7.5

    I would like to take IELTS again but since tax season namin, I probably wouldn't have enough time to review/practice for the writing and speaking component. Siguro by May or June na lang ulit ako take. I thought I did well on writing portion pero hindi pala. I'm considering having my scores remarked since no plans to take din naman in the next 2-3 months.

    Good luck saten.

    Ok naman po nakuha kong score ksa IELTS sa awa ng Diyos, kaso I am eyeing sana for 20points kse ung ACS ko baka 3 yrs lng maapprove sakin since my ex-company (where i worked for 3 yrs) did not give me a detailed COE.

    @LokiJr - Thanks! Sayang nga lang, sana napunta na lang sa writing and speaking ung .5 :) Try ko nga magparemark. I was surprised dun sa result ng writing ko kasi medyo confident ako. Medyo sumobra pa nga ata sa required words ung saken eh. Hopefully, tumaas xa after ng remarking.

    hi guys... i took the IELTS exam twice... first in january and then yesterday. :) here's my two cents on how to prepare for the IELTS exam...

    1. Cambridge reviewer is THE ANSWER. :) I did not enroll to any review classes. I studied on my own, using only this reviewer.

    2. Prepare. I got 6 in writing the first time I took the exam because I had difficulty managing my time. I made the mistake of over thinking everything which caused me to erase a lot of what I had written. I researched tips online on how to manage my thoughts to not repeat this.

    3. Practice the modules that you know you are weak at. It is good to do self assessment. This would help you focus on the modules that might give you the low score. Avoid the heartbreaking result of getting 6 in just one module! :)

    4. Make time to learn how to organize your thoughts and time.

    5. Psych yourself to think positive! Optimism never hurt anyone. If you think you'll get the score you need, your body will respond. :)

    6. PRAYERS! Only God can grant the wishes of our hearts.

    I took the exam for the second time yesterday and I walked out happy. I was prepared and now I'm looking forward to getting the results on the 27th.

    I hope that this can help you guys. :)

    Hello everyone! ano obs dapat sa skilled sponsored visa? thanks
    OBS does not matter.. it should be the score in each band..

    There are several considerations:
    a) 6 in each band is the minimum requirement... but you wont get any score for EOI points..
    b) minimum score required by your assessing authority
    c) minimum score by your State if you require State Sponsorhip..

    so what ever is the highest requirement among these factors, that is what you need to satisfy..
