    @Skye24 sis, malakas rin boses ko, pero during the test i tried to minimize the volume of my voice. Hindi nakakatulong yung lakas ng boses sa exam. Kelangan lang during the mic test, clear ang magiging boses mo. Kung pano mo sabihin yung test 123, ganon lang rin ka clear dapat pag exam. At sa read aloud, usually, natatapos ako ng 22-28 secs. Pag 5 secs nalang tira, medyo mabagal ang pagbasa mo.. kelangan medyo mabilis na parang normal na nakikipagusap ka sa friend mo. At ganon rin ang speed sa describe image and retell lecture..

    And during the mic test, i make sure na walang buga ng hangin at walang ibang naririnig na voice. Station number ako that time..

    @Skye24 tama yan. Look at it this way, speaking ang pinaka madali diyan. You just have to be confident and comfortable sa language. And I think give yourself a few days na makipag inglesan ka Kung kanino man, kayang Kaya mo na yun

    @Skye24 try niyo ganito, tell him wag ka na icorrect. Basta mag inglesan Kayo. You have to understand kasi, Mas kailangan Di ka nag iisip. Parang pag nag usap tayo now, Di ko na iniisip yung sa sabihin ko. I just type. Pag exam mo, you have to rely more on your instinct. Para kahit masira line of thought mo, tuloy tuloy ka pa din. Don't worry na if mabarok ka. Basta masabi mo yung gusto mo sabihin. Word recognition Lang yan. If you say he died yesterday, or sabihin ko he will died yesterday, ang mababasa Lang ng machine is died at yesterday. Keywords Lang. Basically the more words you put in, the more chances of winning. Parang raffle Lang :)

    Oo ngtagal nga ako sa pagtest eh.. Ang hirap din para mkuha ang isolation room from fairview to makati 3am plng gcng n kmi 5am umalis n kmi pra d mtraffic 610am ndun nko s tapat ng bldg ngbabantay.. Pinaguusapan pa namin ung possibility ng isa pa ulit kasi malaki n din gastos nmin para sa AU.. If lam mo ung international criminal check twice nko ngfile kasi ung una expired na din mahal din bayad dun and valid xa for 3mos lng.. So isa un s reason bakit parang gusto ko pa magtake ulit.. Pero last na talaga..

    @Skye24 hi i posted ung tips sa previous post ko sa speaking lalo na sa retell lecture na wala ako nasagap na main idea pero naging 89 speaking ko. Ung sa indian sa youtube ko lang sya nakuha lahat ng sinabi nya sinabi ko. Sa read aloud ang pinaka mataas na score kaya dun ka din dapat mag focus. God bless you and good luck

Gnawa ko writing lng tinake ko d pla pwd yn.. Nglapse n 6mos pra habulin ko sna ung 1st result ko kya ako ng pte..mas madali oet.. Reading lang sumpa dun.. Speaking nya ang dali din imbento ka lng if d mo alam ung sakit or procedure oral fluency din gusto nla..and s writing you need to know the letter format ng australian ayaw nla ung ielts type na pgsusulat..madali din writing nya d ko lang lam kasi nung 1st take ko ung tamang format kya sumabit ako..

    @ajbxxx disadvantage lng s oet ang tagal ng result.. 21days.. Tapos 1month bago mo mtnggap hard copy ng result.. At saka nga pla s oet competition ang speaking and writing scores.. For example B k n s writing tapos may nabasa cla n mas mgnda compares sau ibaba nla score mo s C.. Un ang nkktkot dun pag ang ksabay mo mga super gagalinv s speaking and writing delikado ka pag medyo d k ready magexam.. Hhtakin k kasi ng mkaka A s mkksbay mo.. Tapos ung maginterview sau d xa mgscore sau.. Ppdla sa AU ung recorded conversation mo and 2 australians ang mgcheck n d nla alam score n bbgay ng isatisa same din s writing.. Den maganda if mgkasalungat cla ng bgay ichcheck ng senior nla..kya d mo masasabi na bias or topak lng ngcheck sau..
