you need the organizational code... example Engineers Australia has some code ex. X12345..
or baka naman hindi kailangan sila ang magforward ng results..
normally pwede mo kunin ang actual copy.. and then give/forward a copy it to who ever requires it..
you need to check that if that is what they want..

For VETASSESS, ielts score is not a requirement for the skills assessment process. So you don't need to send anything.
Get the original copy of the result, keep it, you will need it for EOI/Visa application..goodluck!!

Listening - Do not always expect na kung ano yung exact words sa selection of answers eh yun din ang babanggitin sa audio lalong lalo na sa 4th section ng test. Understand the topic being discussed then select the most logical answer.
Reading - Again, same with listening, intindihin mabuti ang topic. Hindi kailangan i-memorize word by word, basta nakuha mo lang yung gist ng story you'll do fine. Pag hindi mo makita ang keyword sa tanong, himayin ang passage para makita ang sagot. Yung 1st, 2nd and 3rd section madali lang... pwede mo ngang basahin muna ang tanong bago hanapin ang sagot. Pero yung last part, eto na yung medyo mahirap kasi ang mga sagot sa tanong hindi masyadong obvious. Yung content nya is comparable sa Academic Reading. Kung itong section ang weakness mo, I suggest you practice using Academic materials para masanay ka how to read between the lines.
Writing - Ang swerte ng mga nag-exam kanina kasi madali lang yung topics assigned. Yung 1st part is personal letter, you just need to write to a friend and describe the vacation you just had and how the guide book you borrowed from him/her helped you in planning the trip. You also need to mention when you will return the book. Yung essay naman is you need to discuss why some people believe that children should always follow what their parents say while some believe that children should learn how to think for themselves. Then state which side you agree with. Eto lang ang tips ko:
1. Do not write your answer in the question booklet! Nasayang lang yung oras ko sa pag-transfer sa answer sheet kaya medyo nastress ako during the last 10 minutes of the exam. Pwede ka naman gumamit ng pencil so in case may gusto ka baguhin madali naman magbura.
2. Stay in familiar territory, this is not a time to explore on a subject you are not familiar with. Nagsayang ako ng halos 10 minutes sa 1st part ng writing kasi ang una kong napili idiscuss is yung dream vacation ko in Egypt. Eh since hindi pa naman ako nakapunta talaga sa lugar na yan kaya nahirapan ako i-describe yung details ng holiday. So binura ko yung ginawa ko at kinwento ko na lang yung bakasyon kunyari sa pinas, problem solved.
3. It pays to be naturally curious. Read, read, read! Remember na ang topics for the writing exam is diverse so kung hindi ka familiar sa topic eh mahirap magpaka-creative.
4. Focus on practicing how to arrange your thoughts logically and how to link your arguments. Do not forget the 3 main parts of an essay (Intro, Body and Conclusion). Practicing will help you a lot, which I didn't do, unfortunately. Buti na lang madali lang yung topic sa Task 2 kaya hindi ako masyadong nahirapan at buti na lang din nagbasa ako ng IELTS tips sa writing at nakinig ng IELTS podcasts.
5. Wag i-max out ang oras sa pagsusulat ng content. If possible, spend at least 5 minutes to count the words kasi sayang naman ang score mo kung below the minimum ang word count.
Yan lang ang mase-share ko. I am hoping and praying na makakuha ako ng mataas na score. Goodluck sa mga mag-eexam pa lang.

i totally agree with what @rara_avis said at kahit BC Ph ako nagtake, we had the same set of tests. yan na yan din yung exam ko dito pinas.
ako po nahirapan talaga sa section 4 ng listening. i totally got lost on the last 6 items. yung katabi ko kinausap ako after the exam, sabi nya saken nadalian daw sya sa reading pero yung listening daw hindi na nya nasagutan yung last part din ng section 4. tapos nakichika na rin yung 2 pips na nasa likod namin, nahirapan din daw sila intindihin yung section4.
sa writing, same question, personal letter and yung task2 yung sa children should follow what their parents tell them. madali lang po yung both task. kahit sino kaya sagutan yun pero ang challenging is yung time. nagahol po ako sa time. sulat doctor kasi ako kaya sobrang naging conscious ako sa handwriting ko kaya naubos kakaayos ng sulat ko. kumain ako ng 38 mins sa task 1 and this was my downfall. dapat hindi ko ininsist na tapusin yung task 1 at dapat nagproceed na ako sa task 2. ang nangyari tuloy, maayos ang task 1 ko pero ang task 2 ko sobrang halatang pinilit lang matapos.
goodluck po sa mga test takers and sana naman makuha ko ang required bandscore. thanks po pala sa mga napulot kong tips dito sa forum. nakatulong po yun.

Sa task 1 naman po, there were two pie charts, one showing the reasons people in the UK live and work in other countries and the other chart showing the reasons they stayed in the UK.
@blackrose nawala rin ako sa last 6 questions sa listening....ang hirap nung part na un. Sa listening, never ever let yourself tlaga na ma distract.
My speaking test is on Thursday pa. Balitaan ko kau sa mga questions after

@blackrose - Nakakalito talaga yung last part ng listening kasi hindi explicitly mentioned sa audio yung mga answers. Kelan nga ulit yung release date ng results natin?
