Medyo worried ako sa nangyari kay filipinacpa. It could be that it was indeed a glitch in the system.
Bibigyan po ba kayo ng chance to test if the mic and the speaker are working?
@filipinacpa, sa tingin mo, which part of the Speaking test was the hardest?
Paano rin po pala ang checking ng test ng Speaking part. Is it entirely graded by the computer? Walang human intervention?

Tip lang ng wife ko e dapat malakas boses mo magsalita at sound confident. Sabi nya mukhang hindi lahat ng items ang binigyan ng grade kasi madami daw siyang sablay lalo sa graphs as in feeling nya mali ung description nya sa analogy ng graphs pero may sinabi pa din siya.
Halos 90 lahat scores sa enabling skills except vocabulary na 74 at oral fluency na 86.
She took IELTS 2 years ago July 2013 at December 2023 at 6.5 lagi scoreung reading nya then the rest e 8 or 7.5. Tinamad na kasi nawalan na ng pag-asa but PTE turned the table for us.
Waiting na lang kami ng invitation this coming Friday sana bale 65pts siya for 189 and 70 for 190 ng NSW. Expiration ng ACS namin e end of July 2015 kaya dapat ma-process na agad visa para hindi na siya magpa-reassess ulit.

Kakatake ko lang ng exam at kagaya ng mga earlier post.
kelangan ng full concentration, pag di cgurado or nagkamali, move on na agad sa next item at huwag na isipin dahil nga sa time.
Hintay ko na lang ang result and sana pasado.
Good luck!!

Eto medyo madali sakin kasi sanay ako mag type. Parang repeat sentence pero pwede mo balikan at i-re-write. Ang advise daw dito, wag na isulat yung mga vowels o kaya abbreviation lang ang i-type, parang txt spk siguro. Pero hindi ako sanay so kung di ko mabuo yung word, i-type ko lang kahit wrong spelling kasi nga pwede naman balikan. Basta make sure maalala mo yung word. Ganyan din ako nun, dami ko palpak dyan sa describe image. Yun pa naman ang ni-review ko haha. Kaya kala ko fail na naman ako.

Ano yung points nya nung nag submit sya ng EOI? Ceiling na kasi yung nominated occupation ko sa VISA 189. Tapos sa 65 points and up lang yung prorated invitation nila nung May 8. So baka 65 and up din onwards.
Salamat. Oo, sana nga dati ko pa kinuha. Laki na din nagastos ko sa mga retakes.
@KEM
Congrats pala! Taas ng scores mo, 20 points!

magbasa ng mga sample essays at try din gumawa ng essay.
Manood ng english news or movies na walang subtitle.
Check nyo rin yung IELTS ryan pati IELTS simon = search sa youtube.
Sa essay writing, kelangan lang na alam mo yung structure (intro, body, conclusion) at nasa required number of words ok na.
Sa repeat sentence pati dictation = wag mag isip, makinig ka lang. di naman mahaba yung sentence.
Summarize written text = get the main idea of the passage, usually sa intro at conclusion makikita, di mo na kelangan isama yung mga examples at same na nasa required number of words.
