Just to share, Ako natagalan ko sa ITA, 4 mo. Kc nag prorata ung occu ko tpos paibaiba cutoff, tumataas fr 65 to 70. Nung naglodge ako ng EOI tumaas sa 70pts cutoff. Nag PTE p ako 3x to get superior English for the addl pts. 3x din n di pumasa. Ung 3rd take ko pa nagmalfunction headset ko naapektuhan grades ko. Til now nkapending parin ung incident report ko Pearson. Di ko na hinabol kc sinwerte bumalik sa 65 ung cutoff at nakaabot s Mar29 invi round. Tpos eto, ayan nakarating din sa finish line.
Basta mga kasama, tyaga lang. Try to relax and divert your attention and energy sa iba para less anxiety. And always remember, all is in His perfect time. God is always faithful to His promises.

Ano bang mga dapat i-prepare na docs before mag-EOI? nabasa ko na IELTS and skills assessment lang ang required. How about yung police clearance/nbi, medical? Ano bang advisable period na asikasuhin ko lahat ito?
I'm currently compiling my docs for EA assessment and will be submitting them by next week. Thanks po sa mga sasagot ^:)^
