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.

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.

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..
