I want to thank you all here sa forum. Ang dami ko nakuhang tips. Feeling ko kanina hindi malakas yung boses ko habang nag speaking test; but, I am happy with the results. Twice na ko nag ielts lagi sabit sa speaking. The online mock exams helped me a lot lalo na sa pacing pero pansin ko iba yung timing sa actual exam, sa mock exams nka blocked time sya pro sa actual may sariling time un essay ska un summarize paragraph.

Ang weird lang ng score ko:
Listening- 76
Reading- 59
Speaking- 42
Writing- 84
I know kelangan ko talaga ng improvement sa reading, pang academic talaga sya compared sa IELTS general na straightforward and easy lang.
Pero sa speaking, bakit ganun? Nagsalita naman ako, Mahina ba masyado boses ko hahaha.
Medyo maliit ang boses ko at soft spoken talaga ako. Okay lang bang pasigaw magsalita sa actual?
Clinick q dn pala ung Next button before matapos ung timer or before mag auto stop. Will that matter?
