is it true na pag bumagsak sa ielts, after 3 months pa ulit pwede mag-retake? btw, thanks aolee sa materials!
Hi Sipareko,I've read this somewhere:The policy on candidates retaking IELTS was amended on 1 May 2006, so that the restriction on retaking IELTS within 90 days no longer exists. Candidates will be able to repeat the test whenever they wish.

@itchan,siguro during practice dapat i try ko na mga 5 mistakes lang makuha ko under time pressured.Kasi naglalaro grade ko sa 6-7 tapos nung makita ko yung babasahin sobrang natakot ako kaya parang nagdilim paningin ko hehehe.Thanks

Basta alam mo na ngayon na pde kang makakuha nang 5 pts kay hubby mo basta comply mo lang requirements. Assume ko nalang mas mataas qualifications mo compare kay hubby mo kasi ikaw Main applicant.

uu, medyo kareer lang dapat... at least 3x a week siguro... analyze mo din yung result ng praktis mo to make sure na:
1. naintindihan mo kung bat naging tama yung sagot mo, so next time na u come across with something similar in nature, masasagot mo pa din ng tama
2. para sa mga maling sagot e, maintindihan mo din kung bakit sya naging mali and learn from it... Ganto yung ginagawa ko nun, nino-note ko kung bat ako namali like: a. mali ang format ng sagot ko b. naduling ako sa pagbasa (to remind myself to pay attention) kasi may ADHD ata ako hahahaha, hirap concentrate
Also, sa test mismo:
1. save the best for last so, skip yung more difficult questions muna, para di ka magtagal sa isang item... kumakain din kasi ng oras yun and eventually magadd-up sa time pressure, e 1 pt lang din naman yun... balikan mo na lang in the end...
2. sa mga passage, ang ginagawa ko, binabasa ko muna yung tanong, saka ko hahanapin yung sagot 1 paragraph at a time, kasi more often than not magkakasunod lang yung tanong and kung saang paragraph sila nagaappear... kapag di mo mahanap (i.e. medyo difficult for you) skip mo muna... sa kaso ng TFNG, malamang NG to pag binalikan mo hahaha...
3. napansin ko lang sa IELTS (hindi ito absolute rule a) pero may good balance ang sagot, i.e. sa 6 item na TFNG, malamang 2 yung True, 2 yung False, 2 yung NG... Wala pa akong naencounter sa mga praktis na mas madami ang NG kesa sa T and F... so kung medyo off yung balance ng sagot mo, baka kelangan irecheck... same with multiple choice, usually balanse kung ilang beses lalabas ang a,b,c (and d)... pero yun nga, hindi naman absolute rule to, one thing lang na pwedeng mag-flag sayo na theres something fishy hehe...
Anyhow, mga pinoy tayo so yung english e, it's in our blood, so di ako naniniwala na di natin kaya yung band 7... most likely ang kulang lang satin is focus and poise under pressure, kasi malamang sa tagal na din nating graduate (nagkakaalaman edad haha!) hindi na tayo sanay sa exam conditions na minamani lang natin nung mga estudyante pa tayo

Hi to everyone! I would like to ask, especially for those who already took the IELTS, if a 2 weeks preparation/review would be enough to do well in the test. Thanks in advance for the reply.
Follow your heart but trust your gut.

@gemini23, as long as you have a good grasp of the English language, 2 weeks is enough
If you are not comfortable especially on writing and speaking, then allot at least a month to prepare

Hi Itchan,thank you so much sa tips.Sumasang-ayon ako sa iba mong observations.Kasi tumagal ako sa mahirap na mga questions kaya nung nakita ko yung oras na konti na lang,literal na nagdilim paningin ko.Nalilito din ako sa F at NG hehe.Siguro I need to allot more paractice talaga sa reading.Eto kasi yung medyo hindi ko napaghandaan dahil takot na takot ako sa listening at doon nag focus.
@Unanimous21:Standard ang ielts exam worldwide kasi yung mga questions dito were formulated by IDP,British Council and Cambridge.

Eto ang link ng mga IELTS-related websites na nabasa ko habang nagrereview:
Sa British Council ako nag-register for the exam, makakagamit ka ng library nila from Mon-Sat, since may work ako at that time, every Sat lang ako nakakapunta dun. Maganda kung makakabili kayo ng book para makapag-aral kayo sa bahay. Swerte ako at binigay nung friend ko yung book na "Action Plan for IELTS" sa akin kasi tapos na sya mag-test. Mas madali lang magreview for Listening and Reading kasi objective type. Yung Writing at Speaking kasi depende sa examiner yung score. Basa na lang kayo ng madaming sample writing sa net at sa books para makakuha ng pattern. Yung sa Speaking, practice kayo with a friend or family.
Mag-mock test kayo madalas at orasan nyo yung pagsagot nyo. Kaya nyo yan, goodluck sa lahat

Introduction
Second paragraph, my opinion na agree ako and give my argument.
Third paragraph - "However, some people dis-agree......."
Consclusion.
Tama po ba yung approach na yun? sana po may makapag bigay ng opinion nyo. salamat

uu, medyo kareer lang dapat... at least 3x a week siguro... analyze mo din yung result ng praktis mo to make sure na:
1. naintindihan mo kung bat naging tama yung sagot mo, so next time na u come across with something similar in nature, masasagot mo pa din ng tama
2. para sa mga maling sagot e, maintindihan mo din kung bakit sya naging mali and learn from it... Ganto yung ginagawa ko nun, nino-note ko kung bat ako namali like:
a. mali ang format ng sagot ko
b. naduling ako sa pagbasa (to remind myself to pay attention) kasi may ADHD ata
ako hahahaha, hirap concentrate
Also, sa test mismo:
1. save the best for last so, skip yung more difficult questions muna, para di ka magtagal sa isang item... kumakain din kasi ng oras yun and eventually magadd-up sa time pressure, e 1 pt lang din naman yun... balikan mo na lang in the end...
2. sa mga passage, ang ginagawa ko, binabasa ko muna yung tanong, saka ko hahanapin yung sagot 1 paragraph at a time, kasi more often than not magkakasunod lang yung tanong and kung saang paragraph sila nagaappear... kapag di mo mahanap (i.e. medyo difficult for you) skip mo muna... sa kaso ng TFNG, malamang NG to pag binalikan mo hahaha...
3. napansin ko lang sa IELTS (hindi ito absolute rule a) pero may good balance ang sagot, i.e. sa 6 item na TFNG, malamang 2 yung True, 2 yung False, 2 yung NG... Wala pa akong naencounter sa mga praktis na mas madami ang NG kesa sa T and F... so kung medyo off yung balance ng sagot mo, baka kelangan irecheck... same with multiple choice, usually balanse kung ilang beses lalabas ang a,b,c (and d)... pero yun nga, hindi naman absolute rule to, one thing lang na pwedeng mag-flag sayo na theres something fishy hehe...
Anyhow, mga pinoy tayo so yung english e, it's in our blood, so di ako naniniwala na di natin kaya yung band 7... most likely ang kulang lang satin is focus and poise under pressure, kasi malamang sa tagal na din nating graduate (nagkakaalaman edad haha!) hindi na tayo sanay sa exam conditions na minamani lang natin nung mga estudyante pa tayo

Sa British Council ako nag-register for the exam, makakagamit ka ng library nila from Mon-Sat, since may work ako at that time, every Sat lang ako nakakapunta dun.
Maganda kung makakabili kayo ng book para makapag-aral kayo sa bahay. Swerte ako at binigay nung friend ko yung book na "Action Plan for IELTS" sa akin kasi tapos na sya mag-test.
Mas madali lang magreview for Listening and Reading kasi objective type.
Yung Writing at Speaking kasi depende sa examiner yung score. Basa na lang kayo ng madaming sample writing sa net at sa books para makakuha ng pattern. Yung sa Speaking, practice kayo with a friend or family.
Mag-mock test kayo madalas at orasan nyo yung pagsagot nyo.
Kaya nyo yan, goodluck sa lahat

This is an example question from previous IELTS exam. Pano po ba tina-tackle iyong statement na "To what extent do you agree or disagree?" Tama po ba strategy ko kung sakali.
Structure:
Introduction
Second paragraph, my opinion na agree ako and give my argument.
Third paragraph - "However, some people dis-agree......."
Consclusion.
Tama po ba yung approach na yun? sana po may makapag bigay ng opinion nyo. salamat
