Btw, appreciate if you can send some of your review materials to my email: [email protected]
Thanks

there are also a lot of practice tests you can get online for free which will help you get the feel of it, again as i said even if you enroll in a review center but you don't put your heart into it, it will not give a good yield.
hitting your target on the 1st take is an excellent goal; tiwala ka lang brad and everything will fall into place.
I will email my materials anytime soon... for the meantime, you can gather some materials as well from the people here who are always ready to lend a hand. gudlak brad and all is well! ;-)

My feedback on my 1st visit at the test centre?
Good:
1. Well-ventilated
2. Quiet
Bad:
1. I waited for nearly 2 hours
2. The interviewer may have been tired already, so she cannot prevent from yawning several times while I speak. Hehehe... It is a major distraction for me, so you must learn how to handle disturbances.
Good luck po sa lahat!

Sample questions about myself were:
1. Where do i currently stay
2. What do i like about the place
3. Weather of the country i am in
then shifted to:
1. Movie that i do not like and why
these are questions that i found when i googled "ielts speaking test 2014," so i think my research skills paid off

Don't forget to try and fun while you're honing your skills! From my experience, trying to devote "serious hours" of study usually leads to serious hours of sleep. It helps to trick your mind that what you're doing is cool and fun and awesome and that the world will never be the same once you have finished writing that Type 2 essay (ahem, curse you Writing)!
Goodluck and Godbless mga ma'am/sir!
