    @MsVi and @MSS thank you! halos a month po... Note taking practice every lunch break (para sa re-tell and summarize spoken text since same concept pero diff approach lang); essay writing (using the compilation not sure if na share na dito.. Hehe) and summarization every night (kahit pa isa-isa lang po) at every saturday and sundays (complete test set ng mcmillan na paulit-ulit kong sinasagutan)... Tpos every byahe to/from pa work is basa-basa ng graph para sa describe image - http://www.ielts-exam.net/academic_writing_samples_task_1/ at practice-practice ng pagsasalita while walking na parang medyo baliw lang. Haha..

    And lastly, dasal ng dasal kay Lord! :) God bless! :)

    Share ko lang din po, sa mga hindi po bibili nung paid practice/mock test like me, better po na familiarize yourself sa pagkakasunod-sunod ng mga items ng exams saka sa mga time po.. Like sa speaking, may allotted time to finish all the items. Tpos sa writing nmn po individually ang time (10 mins for summarization per item; 20 mins for essay per item din); sa reading ganon din po isang time lang (min of 30 mins) for all items; at sa listening (separate 10 mins para sa summarize spoken text) at isang time para sa the rest.

    Yung familiarization po ng mga sequence of items will help you para hindi ka mabigla at magulat like me. Hheh.. Kasi I've noticed na mabilis ang transistion ng mga tanong..so hindi na ko naka prepare tpos considering pa po yung time.. Hehe..

    HTH. God bless us all!

    @filipinacpa Hi I always see your comments s IELTS forum dati.. sinubaybayan ko if nakapasa ka na ba or hindi.somehow you inspired me..Then nagbreak ako s forum to focus on my exam but was disappointed that I still got 6.5 on writing and almost perfect on the other 3. Dont give up on your dreams. Marami tayo nadisappoint ng English Test Hopefully PTE A will be the answer.. God has a reason for everything. You have blessed many people with your tips and inspire others to strive. I will include you in my prayers. God bless your exam

    @MyOZdream awww thank you po.. na touch naman po ako.. hehe.. I took a break as well for a year after I took my 2nd take in ielts.. that was march 2014 din.. then i told myself i'll just take a rest and apply again by 2015 once I get yung 30 points for age and i will have 5 years of employment na.. so kahit 6 lang ang english, maka 60 points pa rin ako. Til I found out tinaasan ang requirements ng vetassess so mag fall pa rin ako sa 3 years employment.. so i need to take another english exam nanaman and obtain 7 in each band.. then i found out that DIBP will be accepting new set of english qualifications from different institutions. Dito na ako nag ka hope ulit.. until this month, naka 2 pte ako. haha! bongga lang.. nakakaiyak talaga lalo na sa mga kapos na yung budget nila.. may iba nagsasabi baka hindi para sakin yung australia.. even sir ervin of niner, when i consulted him, he told me maybe it's time for me to consider other options. di ko naman ma imagine ang canada at uk.. gusto ko talaga dyan sa land down under.. :) hays! sana malapit na rin ako.. nakakatuwa rin yung iba na talagang nagsstrive para makamit yung dream nila.. actually, sa dami ng na meet ko sa forum.. mas marami na nakainspire sakin.. yung iba mas worst ang experience pero punong puno parin ng pag asa.. so yung mga taong tulad nila rin yung nagreremind satin to try and try lang.. balang araw, magkikita rin tayo sa finals. di nga lang alam kung kelan.. hehe.. siguro sabi ni Lord mag train more pa ako dito para pag mag isa na ako sa Oz, kayang kaya ko na talaga maging independent.. hehe..

    @filipinacpa If your heart says Au then its Au. I am not ashamed to admit that I took the IELTS 5x and failed the writing test at 6.5. Super kakadisappoint and even questioned my capability. I even asked God if what Im doing is according to His will. Everytime I stop, nkakakilala ako ng mga tao na gusto pumunta ng Au and somehow I blessed them with my tips on how to pass IELTS LRS. That is the purpose kung bakit nya ako dinedelay, to help others. I know that God wants me to continue. This is just a test of faith. Kaya go lang ng go. Surround yourself with positive people.. see you s finals. God bless you

    @kristine_1377 lusot yan trust me! :) sundin mo lang po yung mga tips na binigay ng mga ka forum natin dito.. kuha na po yan.. and more practice.. :)

    @superluckyclover eto po yung changes effective Jan 1 2015: "Applicants will need to hold a qualification which is assessed as comparable to the required educational level for their nominated occupation in a highly relevant field and one year of employment that is highly relevant and at the required skill level.Additionally, based on the applicant’s qualification and employment evidence provided within the last 10 years, VETASSESS will determine the date at which the applicant is deemed skilled based on closely related employment. "

    So prior to that, kung 5 years total work experience na ako. Qualified ako to claim 10 points sa skillselect. But due to the recent changes po ng vetassess, ang ma credit lang na work exp ko will be 4 years nalang (5 less 1 for post-qualification). So ang ma claim ko pa rin na points sa skillselect for work exp will be 5 points only. Sayang kaya na sana ng 60 kung walang bagong requirements.

    @filipinacpa: wow kakainspire naman ang mga nabasa ko... keep it up! God is good! in His perfect timing makakamtan din natin ang dream life natin sa OZ. :)

    @cpa_oct2011: congrats! ang taas ng scores mo... kabado na ako for my exam sa Wednesday pero nung nabasa ko itong mga comments sa forum nabuhayan ako ng loob. :)

    A big thank you to the organizers ng forum kasi kahit nga hindi tayo personally magkakakilala e we see to it na we tap each others shoulders in our own little way. God is good talaga! :)
