yup, nagreview ako for almost a month din. hehe pero kung ayaw mo naman mag review, marami din sites about IELTS, may mga examples sila. search search lang sa net. Pero helpful din kasi yung review, lalo na sa writing kasi pwede mo ipa-check yung ginawa mo sa mga nagtuturo at malalaman mo yung mga errors mo.

Ito po yun after kung mag take ng online exam nila...
Dear Daryl,
Thank you for completing the Oxford online English test. Based on your results you will need to study at least 1 year of English before you gain direct entry to a mainstream course such as the IT pathway as we have previously discussed.
I am very happy to send you a Letter of Offer for 1 year of English followed by the Advanced Diploma of Computer Systems Technology Pathway, which would be a further 3 years.
This offer will be conditional on your successful completion of level 3 English before you can start Certificate II in Information, Digital Media and Technology .
I look forward to hearing from you soon so I can further process your application.
Regards,
Alex
Ask ko lang po kung anong klaseng Student Visa yung kukunin ko tsaka kung required pa ba akong mag take ng IELTS???
