  @pinoytalker Good luck on your exams! Make sure you identify what kind of essay is required based on the question. if you're confident with your grammar, i suggest just concentrate on contents. Read articles, news, watch documentaries, listen to interviews and get ideas. Para sa kin yun ang pinaka challenge. Doesn't matter if your opinion is right or wrong.. as long as you're able to explain it and write it without or very minimal errors. Focus on answering the questions.. make sure you cover everything. And watch out for punctuations. Unleash the opinionated version of yourself para marami ang masulat
  
  Wag ka rin kakabahan masyado.. Kung nagready ka naman just pray for calmness, confidence and focus

  Nominated Occupation: Software Engineer (261313)

  Helpful sa writing yung writefix.com and ielts-blog.com. I also watched TED talks para may idea ako about certain topics.
  
  Tapos ang inaral ko naman is ace the ielts na book. Nakuha ko lang din here yung pdf.
  
  Question sa speaking ko, when you're stressed at work, where do you go to relax? sa part 3 naman, ano ginagawa ng companies para makapagrelax ang employees at work. Medyo disappointed ako sa score ko, kasi nasagot ko naman lahat and wala naman akong wrong grammar, I think. But di kasi ako gumamit ng idioms and yung mga firstly, furthermore. so baka mababa ako sa coherence.
  
  Sa writing naman, part 1 - write a complaint letter to your landlord about the increase of rent.
  part 2 - advantages and disadvantages of technology sa communication with families and friends today
  
  Sa listening, alisin ang kaba, and focus! underline keywords
  
  Sa reading, I read muna the questions para alam ko alin watch out ko. Unlike sa tips na wag basahin lahat ng sentences sa paragraphs, binasa ko lahat. hirap kasi intindihin pag topic sentence lang. Tayong mga pinoy, magaling tayo magbasa. Matatapos yung exam before 1 hour, so I suggest read and understand carefully.

  Anyone here nag take ng IELTS nung Oct 24,2015 (GT) ?
  Ask ko lang sana kung ano yung specific instruction sa Reading dun sa True False Not Given na section: Write T/F/NG ba or Write "True" / "False" / "Not Given" ?
  Gusto ko kasi malaman if yan ung reason baket ang baba ng nakuha ko sa Reading - i.e not reading the instruction carefully :-(

  usually ang testing centers may lockers..n my case since mga 200plus kami nag take sa school pinapunta kami sa isang room and nilagay sa zipped lock bag ang things (phone, watch..etc) then may claim tag ..nakuha lg namin pagkatapos ng exam..

  @khatt23 hi Cathy, nag take din ako ng IELTS couple of months ago with the results on my ticker.. I prepared for 8 days for the written exam. Hindi masyado maganda yung result dahil may 6.0 ako na score. But I depended on youtube (highly recommended si Emma) and the tips given on this thread when you start from page 1. There are links here as well if you will read through. Will be very helpful din sayo as you can also read and learn from the experiences of others who took the exam. Good luck sa exam mo.. >-

  @se29m Thank you for the info. Actually this is my first time to take IELTS I don't have any idea how it is conducted that's why naghanap ako ng thread na pwede ko makuhaan nang other information..Yung sister ko kasi asa Canada na at kinukuha ako to migrate din doon and one of the requirements nga is the IELTS band 7-8 ung preffered na score. Balak ko din mag enrol sa review center. hmmmm do you still have the review materials? nakakahiya man pero pwede makahingi kahit soft copy lang? Thanks

  @pinoytalker Yes, you can even apply for EOR ng W and S together since parehas sila subjective in scoring. Good luck!
