    @tweesh, wisha, rocksteady, salamat! hehe...kung may nagawa akong nakatulong, nanonood ako ng BBC at CNBC kasi kaya familiar na ako sa accent na ginagamit sa Listening Exam...

    Dun sa writing, huwag na ninyo aralin to...ang mahalaga makagawa kayo ng outline ng isusulat niyo para tuloy tuloy yung daloy ng mga ideya...Meron nung exam date namin nirereklamo ng isang babae parang 100 questions ata inaral niya para sa Written Exam, wala ni isang lumabas dun hehe

    Practical TIPS: Always PRACTICE in Speaking, Writing and Listening. Sabihin mo sa kasama mo lahat sa bahay nyo na ang bagong rules English ang salita hanggang matapos ang IELTS exam mo. Mag englisan kayo sa bahay. Kausapin mo din sa work place mo mag english kapag magsasalita kahit anu. Sabihin mo ng seryoso ka sa pag take ng exam ng IELTS. Sabihin mo na rin sa Jowa mo na Magenglisan kayo kahit sa Jeep (over na to), sa mall habang naglalakad at saan pa at kung may bibilhin kayo. Very effective ito guys... cheers \:D/

    Hi @aolee! Pa-share ng IELTS reviewer. Send it to [email protected]. :)
    Thank you.

    Also, do you suggest enrolling sa mga review centers o self study na lang?

    @aolee Thanks po I received your email na.
    @katlin924 I was thinking of enrolling din, if you plan to, you can try to visit the British Council website to check for the list of accredited review centers. Kasi I was almost tricked before sabi dun sa isang review center accredited sila ng BC, yun pala when I checked the site of BC, wala naman sila dun.

    its a big help kapag enroll kayo sa IELTS review centre... basta piliin nyo yun legitimate IELTS review centre. i research nyo na lang sa internet pinaka mababa ata 6 thou. Punta din kayo sa british council sa Ortigas libre dun mag review sa loob ng office first come first serve basta may schedule na kayo for exam. cheers

    Actually big help din yung group review or friends review sa IELTS exam kasi di kayo mahihiya mangEnglish magsalita at tulong tulong mag review lalot may target Band score kayo.

    Isa pa pala pong tip sa Speaking. Kung wala po kayong accent, huwag po nating piltiing magka-accent sa speaking exam hehe...Ang titingnan naman po ng examiner ay kung tama grammar niyo, kung appropriate yung gamit niyong vocabulary at kung mabilis kayo makapag-isip ng sagot...Walang extra points sila iaaward sa slang :)

    yeah I agree with you LokiJr the examiner is not listening for accent is about relevant sa mga tanung ng Examiner yung right grammar. additional points din yung malalalim na salita and most especially lakasan ang pagsasalita iwasan ang mahina ang boses kasi i rerecord pa yun. Ipakita nyo din na confident ka sa pagsasalita mo. cheers

    Thanks po sa lahat ng tips. Tama din po na ma-inform un readers like me na hindi importante un accent. Kasi baka isipin ng iba kailangan Aussie accent para more points.

    I checked with British Council already and signed up for IELTS orientation.. I'm planning to pay beforehand so I can use their Center for reviewing. I think self study will be fine if you're really focused reviewing. right? Good luck to us! :)

    Hindi niyo naman po kailangan aralin yung test samples talaga...ambilis din kasi sila magbago ..ang mahalaga makuha niyo focus niyo at klaro ang isip sa exam. May mga nakilala ako tuwing kukuha siya ng IELTS exam kumukuha rin siya ng review session pero natataranta siya sa test date mismo.

    @LokiJr ah ganun po ba, sige siguro dapat lang talaga is prepared ka and naka-set ang mind mo sa dapat mo ma-accomplish, in that case makakuha ng mataas na band score sa IELTS. :D

    @aolee, yung first part 'tell me about yourself...what is happiness for you...what do you think of unhappiness...do you find accomplishment with your work and why'....dami pa e basta 5 minutes siya na Q&A hehe

    yung second part...'what is a job that will make the world a better place, what kind of people can be part of that, how did you know about this job, how does it contribute to the world'...kailangan mo magsalita deretso--walang tigil nang 5 minuto...tititigan ka lang ng assessor kaya dapat walang dead air o stutter (nakarecord yung conversation so bawas points yung mga ganun)...

    yung last part tungkol sa trabaho ko (insurance broking) so kumportable ako sa pinaguusapan namin. Ang napansin ko sa last part malalalim yung tanong na parang hahamunin niya yung alam mo sa topic..siguro sinusubukan lang niya kung nag-iimbento ka lang ng sinasabi hehe

    @katlin924 BC po ako siguro later this year, sa Ortigas. Kasi yun din malapit sa akin. :) Mukhang okay naman sya. I think advantage na malapit sa iyo yun kasi if ever gusto mo gumamit and magreview using the review materials there, anytime pwede ka pumunta without too much hassle kasi malapit nga lang un location.

    Mukhang challenging yung speaking part ng ielts. Nabasa ko palang tanong kay LokiJr e kabado o kinabahan na ako eh. Mukhang kapag on the spot eh hirap mag-isip ng isasagot. Sana lang wag ma mental block at sana swertihin din. Goodluck nalang sa atin na kukuha ng ielts!
