May nag-try ba magpa-remark ng writing sa BC KL? I'm open to suggestions. Ok naman results except sa writing. 6.5 score ko, konti nalang kulang ko! Thinking if i-retake ko sya or pa-remark ko nalang.

Hi @soulsurfer if u r confident sa writing mo and not in a hurry, i think you can try pa remark. subjective kase and writing eh. approx 8 weeks ang waiting time sa remarking.

@Stidleyfied may result na takers from SG in British Council.
Parang gusto ko magparemark sa speaking kase confident ako na slightly better yung speaking ko compared to 1st take pero yung score ko nag drop ng 1.0.
Pwede kaya umangat from 6.0 to 7.0 ang score sa speaking? Yung nag interview pati saken yung 2nd take medyo suplado compared sa 1st take ko. Nakakahinayang kase mag retake after ibuhos ko yung time of review ko sa writing.

may result na takers from SG in British Council.
Parang gusto ko magparemark sa speaking kase confident ako na slightly better yung speaking ko compared to 1st take pero yung score ko nag drop ng 1.0.
1st take:
Listening - 8.5
Reading - 7.0
Writing - 6.0
Speaking - 7.0
2nd take:
Listening - 7.5
Reading - 7.5
Writing - 7.5
Speaking - 6.0
Pwede kaya umangat from 6.0 to 7.0 ang score sa speaking? Yung nag interview pati saken yung 2nd take medyo suplado compared sa 1st take ko. Nakakahinayang kase mag retake after ibuhos ko yung time of review ko sa writing.
