Hello guys, esp. sa mga nakapagIELTS exam na. Share nyo naman yung feelings nyo before taking the exam. Is it normal na madalas mawala sa focus habang nagppractice kayo at sobra kayong kinakabahan? How about during exam, kinakabahan pa rin ba kayo or parang mas confident na kayo lalo nung nakikita nyo na mga questions?

Lapit na exam ko, feeling ko parang bigla akong naging hindi ready. hahaha.. Think positive!!! Band 8 all the way.

clickbuddy2009 · July 2013

Uyy.. si @bevs_castle24, batchmate sa vetassess. Mukhang magkakasabay tayong magrant ng visa this December. Nyahahaha..

bevs_castle24 · July 2013

@clickbuddy2009 hahaha...uu nga batchmate tayo...sa IDP ka rin pla mag-IELTS... matagal pa ako...good luck and godbless sa IELTS..:-)

kickerz · July 2013

question po.. pano po ba scoring, average po ba? o yung pinakamababang score sa lahat ng band ang kukunin?

di ba po 2 yrs ang validity neto, pano po kung nagtake ako third time, alin pong score ang updated, yung last na take ko? automatic po ba overwritten yung first two takes ko? what if mataas ang nakuha ko sa take 2 at nagdecide ako na yung take 2 ipasa ko.

pasensya po.

solidjeff · July 2013

@kickerz average/OBS does not matter in ielts, score in every module matters. you can't claim 10pts for ielts if you have less than 7 in any module.

Also, it does not mean if you retake, it will nullify your previous takes. the one you will submit to the authority is the one they will treat as your official ielts score. syempre pipiliin mo yung mataas.

clickbuddy2009 · July 2013

Isang narealized ko while practicing for IELTS, mas magandang magfocus sa writing. This way, not only yung writing skills ang nappractice, but reading and speaking as well as you may need to do some research on writing letters and essays. And it really helps if you read it aloud. Try lang na wag maoverwhelmed sa magagandang essays na nababasa at baka madiscourage kayo katulad nang nangyayari sakin. Hahaha..

bluesteel31 · July 2013

Just finished my exam last weekend. Nakatulong talaga yung cambridge reviewers at mga youtube videos(for speaking)..

in my case, nahirapan ako sa listening.. dahil cguro nanibago ako I usually use earphones pag ngppractice, tapos sa actual test is speakers lang. I found the speakers sa exam a bit boomy at nde masyado malinaw compared sa nakasanayan ko na earphones..

now i'm waiting for the results.. fingers crossed! sana pasado......

clickbuddy2009 · July 2013

Hi @bluesteel31, how was your writing test? Natapos mo ba pareho? Naaalala mo pa ba kung tungkol saan yung writing test mo? Share naman..

wizz · July 2013

@clickbuddy2009 hi nkapag exam nko sa IDP Singapore dn. normal naman un kabahan at yung mawala sa focus and tamarin at times pero nung last wk ko nag mindset ako na magfocus ng sobra kahit last wk lang. Sagot sagot ng practice test everyday. Nung exam proper ninerbyos ako sa speaking exam kasi isip ko kung magkalat ako sa written (LRW) test ako lang nkakaalam unlike speaking. Hahaha! Ang prayer ko tlg dbale ng wala akong sobrang taas bsta wala lang akong below 7 para d nako magretake. Aral aral at practice more po to gain confidence and of course pray.

bluesteel31 · July 2013

Hi @bluesteel31, how was your writing test? Natapos mo ba pareho? Naaalala mo pa ba kung tungkol saan yung writing test mo? Share naman..

for writing test ok naman cia, nde ko na nga lang nabilang ilan words naisulat ko, but i think it's sufficient naman.
Nde ko na masyado matandaan yung exact phrases na ginamit, but here's the idea..

Part 1 (150 words): You saw some ad that needs somebody to look after a house in Scotland while the owner is away.
-Write some details about yourself
-Write the reason why you would like to take up the job
-Start with Dear Sir or Madam,

Part 2 (250 words): Popularity of Mobile/Cell phones on young people
-Discuss advantages/disadvantages
-Conclusion

Goodluck! kayang kaya yan, basta focus, practice at be confident

clickbuddy2009 · July 2013

Naku, ganyan na ganyan yung mga nabasa ko. Sana matyempo din sakin ung mga topic na naencounter ko during practice

michel_75 · July 2013

@aolee - pwedeng pasend din po sa email ko yong ilets material [email protected]. many thanks in advance

cylin · July 2013

hello all,

Sino na po dito ang nakatry magparemark ng W (6.5) & S(6.5) parts?

Thanks.

leewrox2013 · July 2013

Hello po sa lahat, I'm going to sit my IELTS exam on 17th of August, but I have one question. I need to arrange to send the result of my exam directly to the assessing authority but the center where I registered said that I should be the one to send it since they don't have this option. So my question is, How do I go about this since the assessing authority (EA) requires it to have the result sent directly to them? Will they accept it if the result was sent by me?

I hope matulungan nyo po ako kasi sayang naman kung di nila tatanggapin ung result in case makuha ko ung band na tinatarget ko.

Thank you po sa makakatulong!!

michel_75 · July 2013

@leewrox2013 san ang review center mo?

leewrox2013 · July 2013

@leewrox2013 san ang review center mo?

@michel sa World English Inc. Actually self study lang ako, pero sa kanila ako nagparegister since sila yung malapit na agent ng BC sa location ko sa pampanga.

michel_75 · July 2013

@leewrox2013 anong target mong band score? dito kasi ako manila. taga pampanga ka pala.

leewrox2013 · July 2013

@michel band 7 dapat para makakuha ng points, pero aiming ng mas mataas kung kakayanin.
Kelan exam date mo?

michel_75 · July 2013

Good luck @leewrox2013

Sungsung · July 2013

@leewrox2013, dyan sa Wo0rld English ako nagreview for 3 weeks.

try mong mag-attend nung final coaching ni Lee few days before the exam, may bayad kaso maliit lang, aroung 150 pesos yata. malaki ang maitutulong sayo. pero kung sa tingin mo confident ka na, kahit siugro wag na.

at kung sa Oasis Hotel ang venue ng exam, wag kang aalis kaagad after ng exam. kasi may refreshment na clubhouse at iced tea. andaming umalis sa amin nung nag take kami kaya binigay sa aming mga natira yung ibang merienda. lol

bluesteel31 · July 2013

hello guys, lumabas na ang results ko sa IELTS.

at naging totoo nga ang kinakatakutan ko, i got low banding sa listening kc boomy or bassy for me yung speakers during the test.. but i got R-9, L-7, W-7 and an overall of 7.5.

ang katanungan, since 6.5 lng writing ko makukuha ko pa din ba yung 10 points sa points for english proficiency? sa overall ba based ang score?

thanks in advance po

jvframos · July 2013

@bluesteel31 you did great on your reading... that's the perfect score. anyway, to answer your question, dahil below 7.0 band ka for listening, you can't claim 10 points. according to diac rule:

to claim 10 points:
IELTS score of at least 7 on each of the four components of the test— speaking, reading, writing and listening

bluesteel31 · July 2013

pwede kaya mg re-take? though i can proceed with skills assesment base sa current results, preo posible ba iupdate yung ielts results ko after i retake para maclaim ko ang 10 points for band 7?

sorry if this is the the wrong thread to open this topic...

raiden14 · July 2013

I have barely a week to study.. hayyss busy kasi sa office.

@bluesteel31 - yes you can do that. proceed with the assessment with your current ielts..
then review/re-take to get your desired score for the EOI pts..
