    @wizardofOz sakin, inassume ko na siya yong mag-assess sa akin, kaya masaya ako nung lumabas ng room kasi medyo maayos naman pakikipagusap ko sa interviewer ko. Siguro nag stop lang ako magsalita nong sa task 2, may nakaligtaan akong sagutin dun haha tapos sumenyas siya medyo kinabahan ako pero tuloy parin hehe.

    @J_Oz yung sakin naman katatapos lang ng L/R/W exams ko ng 12pm, then “A” kasi surname ko, ako yung unang-una sa Speaking test hindi pa ako nakakapag-lunch saka medyo masakit pa ulo ko sa Writing, sumalang na ko agad.

    Nung una na-intimidate ako examiner ko sa Speaking… Scottish sya, tinanong nya bakit daw ako nag-ttake ng IELTS, sabi ko engineer ako and plano ko mag-migrate as skilled worker sa Australia, tapos tinanong nya kung saan daw sa Australia ko plano mag-settle.. that time sabi ko sa Perth…

    Nung sinabi ko yun parang nakita ko na nagkaroon sya ng affinity sa case ko… then sinabi nya na actually immigrant din daw sila ng family nya from Glasgow to Perth din ngayon. Mabait pala sya kaya naging at ease na rin ako during nung mismong Speaking test, then nakikita kong parang gusto nyang maka-attain ako ng magandang score.

    @wizardofOz sa akin naman ibang araw ang speaking ko, pero sobrang aga. Kami ata unang batch that day haha, tas ako pa yong second na na interview. Kinabahan ako kasi yong unang tinawag, yong interviewer nakakatakot sobrang strict nagdasal ako sana yong mapunta sa akin ok. Tas biglang tinawag ako, nakangiti yong babae kaya medyo gumaan loob ko.

    During the interview may mga gestures sya at reaction na parang ni-assess niya na on the spot yong mga sinasabi ko. Kaya ako naman tuloy lang sa salita kasi di ko naramdaman yong kaba dahil ang bait niya kausap parang nakikipagusap lang ako sa ka-close ko haha.

    And nga pala, few weeks before ng IELTS eh nagbasa ako ng book. Dalawa yong nabasa ko kaya siguro medyo napractise din ako sa reading at lumawak ng konti vocab at imahinasyon haha.. yon lang po.

    Goodluck po sa lahat :)

    Hi @ana_gdel.. kasabay mo yata ang misis ko na nag-exam din last Sat. Same kayo ng sentiment about sa audio quality. Maliban dun, reklamo niya din yung sobrang lamig sa ballroom. As per her assessment, mukhang sasablay daw siya sa writing kasi nagkaroon siya ng hindi inaasahang 'dalaw'..nawala yung focus niya at nasayang din yung oras niya sa pagpunta sa restroom. We are also hoping for divine intervention. Otherwise, retake. :(
