I was 3 months short to 7 years of experience nung nag submit ako ng assessment for ACS, that was in April 2014. Then minus 2 years pa di ba so 3 months short ako to 5 years para maka claim ng 10 points. But now na 6 months na ung nakaraan and I plan to submit my EOI na, ok lang ba na mag claim ako ng 10 points kahit na sa ACS is hanggang April lng ang nakita nila? Same company and same position pa rin naman based dun sa last assessment. Mag ka issue po kaya eto?
Thanks.

AFAIK, you'll need to get reassessed by ACS, cause it's says in the guidelines that the validity of the result is based on date of submission.
I'd also like to know the answer this question. Can anybody confirm this?

Nagsisimula pa lang ako sa pag-prepare ng requirements. Pansin ko kasi, karamihan inuuna ang pagpa-assess ng skills sa ACS kaysa IELTS. Ganun ba talaga? Or ganun yung recommended process? Thanks!

I am assuming that some does ACS first because of the amount of work in drafting the reference letter, gathering of documents however I believe both of them have the same effort and both of them have similar wait time (in terms of results being available)
I am also assuming some would prefer to have a good result from ACS before spending 8.9k in IELTS.
What I am doing (might be not the same with everyone) is that I have already submitted my ACS documents last weekend and will be taking IELTS on the 18th so that if ACS will be done with my application and IELTS result on the 31st will be in good standing then I can file EOI and may have a chance getting invited on the first round in November.
Whatever the ACS result will be, suitable or not. I will take the risk and do my best in IELTS. The objective is to get invited as early as possible and get that limited invitation spot.
I guess what I am trying to say is.. Is there something you can do today to get you closer to your goal for tomorrow.

Sa case ko inuna ko ang IELTS e. Base sa status ko ngyn mas gusto ko sana kung nauna ang ACS, kasi after ko makuha yung result mas naging clear yung motivation ko sa IELTS.
Yung IELTS kasi ang malaking panghatak ng points pra sa application.
