    @dft sa experience ko naman baliktad ang nangyari. while doing my review im using headset pero nung actual exam saka naman kami hindi gumamit ng headset. pro how was your exam, im sure you can assess naman with your gut feeling how you performed. :)

    @bytubytu hello, ang natatandaan ko, yung first part ay letter writing. merong situation na binigay paano ko daw ipapadala ang luggage na naiwan ng friend ko. So ayun, dun umikot ang istorya. hehe. Syempre dapat makabuluhan, you have to establish how, why, what, when and where, ganun lang ka simple. Pangalawang tanong ay medyo malalim, sa naalala ko, it's about justifying whether it is practical to rent or buy house in poor countries. Yung second question ang may pinakamataas na points. Sa British Council Singapore ako kumuha.

    Hello @bytubytu

    i believe the reason why i got 6 the last time is because I did not finish writing task 2... :) yun pa naman yung malaki ang points.. if you backread... i only got to write 2 paragraphs (introduction and first supporting statement) no definite conclusion... naubos kac oras ko sa kakabura... i over analyzed kaya ayun...

    so ang pinakauna ko advise is to know kung san ka maaaring pumalya... :) in my case, it was over thinking everything... kaya puro erase kac d organize yung thoughts ko... so organize your thoughts... after kac the fist take... i researched online regarding writing tips... i found a good one... ielts-simon.com... meron magagandang tips dun regarding organizing your thoughts... take 5 mins to write your ideas on the scrap paper provided tapos start ka na sa writing tasks mo... practice din how you spend your time... gnawa ko.. pag nagpa-practice writing ako.. i time myself... 20 mins for task 1 and 40 mins on task 2... tapos read ka ng mga previous exams and kung pano cla nag-answer... makakakuha ka na ng ideas... and gaya ng sabi ko in my previous comments... details.. dagdag ka ng details to support your statements.. yun ang magpapahaba ng writing mo... :)

    i hope this helps.. :)

    Tip ko pala for Reading:

    basa ng isang paragraph tapos sagutan yung related questions. chronological yung mga tanong, ex. questions 1-6 based on paragraph 1, Qs 7-10 based on paragraph 2, and so on.

    hindi lang ito applicable kapag match the paragraph number with the topic/title given.
