    @amedina ask ko lang kung kelan start ng classes mo. pagkakaalala ko kasi sa dating timeline mo, feb 2014 ang intake mo. same tayo. i actually submitted my requirements na sa IDP. kaso naoverlook ng agent na 2014 pa nga ako. kala nya, this july na. she told me it's yet too early to lodge my application. the earliest is 6 mos. before the start of classes daw. i remembered you, that's why i'm asking. baka pwede na nga maglodge earlier 'coz you did na nga, di ba. so yun.

    @amedina yun nga din gusto ko sana, makapaglodge ng maaga para iwas stress. kung october nga ELICOS mo, swak lang sa 6 mos. before. so baka nga, wala rin akong lusot. hehe. hintayin ko na lang reply ng IDP. thanks for the reply. good luck! :)

    @amedina visa grant nalang matatangap mo from the embassy... wala din ako nareceive na confirmation from them regarding my medicals dati... after a month visa grant notice nalang natangap ko... Goodluck.. you need a lot of patience sa pag aantay ng visa grant notice... magtetext nalang sila sayo na for dispatch na document mo through courier... :)

    @Jonjie1322 dapat grade mo not lower than 5.5 in all bands (writing., listening, reading and speaking). Tpos yung avg mo sa lahat should atleast be 6.0. If I'm not mistaken. Ung husband ko 5x nagtake ng ielts bago nya nasatisfy yung 6.0 minimum score.. hehe. Lagi may sablay sa isang band, kundi writing, listening. Kaya ayun, andaming retake. Yumaman idp. Self study lang kasi sya. I think malaking tulong din pg ng enroll ka sa review center. Para madaming trial test bago actual. ;)
