    Thanks wizz. Sana nga maging mabait din sa pagmmark ung interviewer ko. May nakita nga pala akong marked 6 at 8. Kaso dko na nakita ung iba. Dko alam kung saang area ako nagkamarked 6. Malamang sa grammar and vocabulary un. Nagtago kc lahat ng good words ko the moment i entered the room.

    @clickbuddy2009. ikaw palang yata nakapagbigay ng info na yung tao mismo kaharap natin sa speaking, nagbibigay rin pala ng score yun. All the while, sa pagkakaalam ko iba yung magbibigay ng score natin kaya nakarecord yung conversation...galing ng discovery mo.dapat pala magpaimpress din tayo sa kanila.

    Actually po di lang naman ung interviewer ung nagbibigay ng marks. Kaya po nirerecord kasi meron pang ibang panels na mageevaluate ng speaking test.

    Sana lang talaga magbago pa yung nakita kong marked 6.

    Correct i read about this also somewhere para din maging fair/ independent ang markings. Recording also helps when you plan to request for remarkings. Idp din ako dati room 3 babaeng indian, medyo maputi compared sa local nila and medyo mabait. She instructed me to continue speaking and dont pause =)

    i agree. may nagtanong kasi nyan nung umattend ako ng master class sa IDP. Kung yung interviewer daw ba ang magmamark ng score. Ang sagot ng facilitator hindi daw. Kaya daw nirerecord kasi may ibang magmamark. At sa opinyon ko naniniwala ako sinabi ng facilitator kasi ung facilitator na un sya rin yung natapat na interviewer ko. Sa speaking test proper, sa 2nd part when u need to answer the question straight in 2 minutes, medyo kinukulang na ko ng sagot tapos nakita ko sumenyas sya na parang go on keep on talking parang ineencourage nya ko to consume the requirement kasi nga baka minus mark un pag nireview na nung taong magmamark. Opinyon ko lang naman to... :)

    Napansin ko lang kasi ung interviewer ko, may sinusulat sya kaya tiningnan ko. Ayun, nakita ko nga ung markings na sinusulat nya. Sa sobrang tense ko, dko na nakita ung ibang marks nya para sakin. Masaya na ko na may sinulat syang marked 8. hahaha...

    Since nabanggit nga sa master class na merong 4 na criteria na tinitingnan sa band descriptor, nagkaron na ako ng idea kung saan ako nagkulang. Since nilagay nya ung marked 6 sa 3rd column which is grammar/ range of vocabulary, mukhang dun nga ata ako kinulang. yung marked 8 nilagay nya sa last column (pronunciation ata ung part na yun). Sana lang talaga magbago pa ung mababang points ko pagdating na sa ibang panels na mageevaluate ng speaking test ko.

    Update update: katatapos lang ng LRW ko. Madali lang ang reading at writing. However, sa listening test sumabit ata ako. Same thing with other candidates, sa listening din daw sila nagkaron ng problema. Medyo tricky ung conversation at nahirapan akong sundan. May times din na you need to analyze kasi iba yung mga terms na ginamit sa recording compared sa mga given answers.

    Idagdag pa yung seating arrangement. Nakaupo ako sa corner sa likod and katabi ko wall. There are moments na naddistract ako sa tunog ng elevator na dumadaan at sumabay pa yung malakas na kulog. Nakakawala talaga sa focus.

    Haayyy... Sana umabot pa sa band 7 ang listening ko.

    i also took the exam kanina lang. kala ko ako lang nahirapan sa listening. im even doubting my ears, at nag plan pko mag pa check up. or hindi talaga maganda quality ng audio ng IDP. during my practice tests, since maganda quality ng speaker ko, naiintindihan ko nman. most of my errors during my practice were either mali ang understanding ko or nabilisan ako sa pagsasalita ng speaker. pero kanina, may words akong namimiss dahil hizz/buzz sounds ang dating sakin. hindi ko tuloy nasundan ang flow ng conversation.. hayz... sana naman umabot ng 7 ang score ko.

    I dont know if the recording itself has a problem, or IDP audio really sucks! One thing for sure, I wont take exam at IDP again if ever i still need to retake again in the future!
    BC audio really far better than IDP!

    We'll just hope we can surpass the 7mark

    Yes, agree that BC's audio is far better. I took my 1st test with them. Mas clear at less echo. I think the volume is just fine sana kanina pero the air in the room is not dry enough kaya nagba-bounce ang sound. There was one portion the speaker in the recording was dictating an email address, nasulat ko na talaga yung 1st word (i think "healthcare") pero yung sumunod na word hinihintay ko, hindi ko talaga ma-recognize yung word. Parang ugong nlang narinig ko :( then iyong outside noise like pag-kulog distracting din talaga. Sana ma-improve nila yung facility nila na mas maging noise proof.

    Really hoping na sana umabot sa 7 yung score. Hinayang ako sa nakuha ko nang score dati. Kung bakit kasi kailangang retake lahat gayung W/S lang kulang ko ng half point for each. Hay! Nakakadismaya kung mai-7 yung iba at bababa naman sa L. Tsk Tsk :( Goodluck nlang po sa ating mga nag-eksamen kanina!

    Hahaha... Healthcare lang din ang naisulat ko dun sa email address na binigay ni Patrick. Ewan ko lang kung meron nakakuha ng buo nun, pero para sakin parang imposible ko ata magets ung karugtong ng email add. Ang linaw2 nung pagkakabanggit ng healthcare, kung bakit naman kasi parang blah blah blah ung kasunod.

    Meron pa dun question kung saan nalaman ung event. Talagang pagkakarinig ko ay 'Registrant.' Pero may nagsabing candidate kanina na 'Advertisement' daw tamang sagot dun. Ayy naku, I think I may have failed in listening test big time.

    Iniisip ko nga sanang gawin yan after ng test kaso dko tinuloy. Akala ko kc ako lang ung medyo nagkaron ng problema sa listening, nakakahiya naman kung gagawin ko un. Nakakapanghinayang talaga kung mataas ang magiging marks sa tatlo tapos dun lang sasabit sa listening.

    Sana magkaron din sila ng consideration kung makita nilang madami nga mababa sa part na yun. Pero kung meron namang nakakuha ng band 7, 8, or 9, malamang tayo nga ung may problema. Haha

    1. Write a complaint letter about your recent travel by plane (problem encountered with member of the staffs)

    2. Some countries encourage their teenagers to have part-time jobs. Give your views for both

    Inuna ko munang gawin yung task 2. Mahaba pa sana oras ko to complete task 1 kaso nung nagccountdown na ung sa IDP, medyo nagpanic nako. Ewan ko ba kung bakit sa kaiisip ko ng magandang isusulat, lalo naman ako nawawalan ng ideas.

    Advice ko lang sa mga kukuha, kapag meron nang ideas na pumasok sa isip nyo, isulat nyo kaagad. Wag na magantay na may maisip pang ibang mas maganda dahil baka lalong wala kayo maisulat. Always remember na hindi good english ang pinakakalaban nyo sa writing kundi ORAS!
