    @amedina I had mine in British Council (academic), my assessment...reading, passages were longer and not common, i guess there were at least 15 true, false and not given type of questions, also sentence completion with no choices. listening...pamatay ang section 4, walang pause, words used in questions are totally diferent from that of the speaker.

    heavy concentration dapat sa listening - one false move and mawala ka na costing you at least 1 question...

    oo nga...nangyari din yun sa akin. dapat sa listening e mabilis kang maka "move on". kumbaga, pag di mo narinig yung sagot para dun sa current question...dapat kalimutan mo na at skip mo na yun. pag nag-isip ka pa kasi about it...di mo din maririnig yung answer dun sa susunod na question. kaya sa mga ganung cases....let it go. hehe

    @renjo : as what @multitasking mentioned, wala po yun points kasi ang tinitingnan ay yung inidividual scores for each band...not the overall band score.

    OBS is misleading - I got 8 in my OBS but I got a 6.5 in one of the individual scores. Had I been the main applicant, I would have gotten 0 points because of the 6.5

    Buti nalang, andiyan si misis... aahah!! :)

    Oo e...kung immigration pag-uusapan, individual scores talaga ang batayan...

    Pero kung mataas ang OBS, ibig sabihin lang nun, competent na kayo sa English, which will be helpful if you decide to work and live in Australia in the long term hehe.
