Meron kasi akong nababasang post that they send supporting documents to ACS via LBC or DHL but i repeatedly read the pdf file for "Skills Assessment Guidelines for Applicants" by ACS and it never mentioned about submitting hard copies of docs to them. Everything is done ONLINE and supporting documents are asked to be certified, then scanned and upload in a pdf format.
Is there still a need FOR NOW to send hard copies to ACS?

focus ka sa IELTS... aim ka ng overall 8 na score para additional 20 points sa EOI... sayang din... alam mo na... ang mga highest scores ang usually binibigyan agad ng invite... sa nov na din ako take... kaya magprepare ka na... lalo na sa listening... practice ka din ng pag answer... mag set ka ng time limit same ng limit sa exams...

1 month before scheduled exam is ok to book it, 15 days before the schdule is not advisable ;-) as most of them are fully booked.
