    hi, question po para sa mga nakapag take na ng IELTS sa SG thru British Council, Regent Hotel venue:
    1- saan po ang combined storage area ng mga belongings, sa loob po ba o sa labas ng examination room? meron po kasing lakad sa hapon kaya kailangan ko po magdala ng gamit.

    2- pwede po ba magsuot ng relos para po may guide during exams?

    salamat po at good luck sa mga examiners!

    @aehlydlam, chinat ako nun examiner bago nagstart ang Speaking ko. kinamusta nya at sinabi ko na yun nga nahirapan din ako sa listening. yun din daw ang sabi ng karamihan ng nainterview nya. hopefully magbigay sila ng general consideration para marami ang makakuha ng expected marks.

    "IELTS reading and listening scores

    Students often ask how many correct answers they need (out of 40) to get a band score of 7 in the reading and listening tests.

    According to official IELTS guidelines:

    Band 6 is about 23 out of 40
    Band 7 is about 30
    Band 8 is about 35

    Note:
    The score needed for each band can change depending on the difficulty of each test. If you have a really difficult test, the score needed for band 7 might be 28 or 29. If the test is easier, you might need to score 31 or 32 to get a 7."


    sana nga :). meron po bang mga past takers na makaka-attest?

    @tutik - no one can attest to this for the simple reason that you don't know how many correct answers you have.

    after around 2 wks when you get your results, all you will get are 5 number which would indicate your score on the 4 sections and your OBS...

    Goodluck!! Just practice hard, mejo mahirap ang maka-7 sa lahat (more so an 8 in all sections) but definitely not impossible.
