@Makaryo if this is the same case as linking to your previous application then see what pinoycoder posted, acs will refer to docs previously assessed & you only need to upload updated or new work references.

kakasubmit ko lang for acs assessment nung friday. so ngayon waiting game. trying to simulate my points and plans for the next step.
Medyo nalilito ako sa visa 189 vs 190. pag 190 ba may state/territory sponsorship ibig sabihin dun lang sa lugar na yun pwede tumira/magwork for a certain period of time? and hindi kasama dun ang mga popular/common cities like Sydney, Melbourne?
@psalms5110 nakita ko visa 190 pero Sydney kayo. pano yun?
Thanks!!

basically, kpg magsubmit ka ng EOI, itick mo si 189 and 190.
dahil 60 points lang ako, and alam naman natin ung high supply ng 2613* jobs, I also ticked 190.
I actually chose any state. Gladly, si NSW (which includes Sydney) ang naginvite sa akin.
You can choose specific states.
You are obliged to stay for 2yrs sa state na un where you are sponsored.

1.) British Council - https://www.britishcouncil.ph/exam/ielts
2.) IDP - https://www.idp.com/philippines/ielts
Silang dalawa ang nagbibigay ng IELTS exam dito sa Ph. Basically, pareho lang sila - format, grading, etc. In fact, sinasabi nila na pareho lang ang IELTS internationally.
So read on that.
About sa ACS, everything you need to know - https://www.acs.org.au/migration-skills-assessment
kung may clarifications ka post mo na lang, madami naman willing sumagot. I suggest concentrate ka muna sa isa (either IELTS or ACS). Pag clear na sayo lahat, tsaka mo pagaralan yung isa.
