Thanks thanks! Si Katlin ata nagsabi nun na practice at least 3x a week - and it helps a lot, kasi masasanay ka sa format ng sagot... Challenging lang talaga yung Writing and Speaking kasi nga di mo maevaluate level mo...
For future test takers, laking tulong nung cambridge reviewers (BC offers them for free sa facility nila) para sa Reading and Listening... Then I dont know kung meron pa (cant find it in their website anymore) but worth inquiring about is yung free speaking assessment din ng BC (ni-plug din ni Katlin to dati) since dun ko naintindihan how it actually works...
So yun, parang ni-plug ko rin yung BC hehe, di ko alam kung same benefits din sa IDP though, kasi di ako nakapagtry maginquire sa kanila...

Thanks Thanks! May deposit counter for listening, reading, writing... For speaking, iiwan sa guard, 5 at a time lang naman ang nasa waiting room para pumasok sa interview room so it's relatively safe naman....
I dont know if you can request specifically pero mas okay kung yung speaking mo maschedule ng ibang araw para di ka masyadong ngarag... Yung schedule ko was 9-12am and L+R+W then yung speaking was 4.15pm magsimula same day...

Thanks Thanks! Hmmm... di ko kasi sure kung anong situation or qualifications nyo ni hubby mo and ilan pa kulang na points? I responded to you dun sa "online application" thread din about ung possibility of exploring credentialed community language whatnot if all else fails hehe... Pero kung sakin lang, retry na lang yung IELTS kasi nga nagka "practice session" na naman sya sa last take nya under real test conditions so I would think ma-pinpoint nya some of the things na kinapos so makaconcentrate sya dun sa practice nya for the re-take...
Ako kasi nag-piggybank na ng budget para sa second take ko and magpaschedule ng take two the moment I get my results sana sa sobrang wala kong kumpyansa sa writing and speaking hahaah! So yun, pandagdag na lang sa mega-gastos sa application mismo haha
Sooo... Go lang ng go!
