    @k_mavs
    Thanks po. :D Sana nga, hehe. Para mabawi ko yun 4k. Sayang din kasi yun. Hehehe. Good luck po sa mga hindi pa nakakapag-IELTS. Paging @heyitsme7_mags, sana okay po result ni hubby. :D
    Congratulations! @Bryann, on for the next move kana...yey!

    Thanks! for your wish...sana maging ok result ng hubby ko, hindi eh, pero tumaas naman unlike nun first take nya. Eto yung score nya...

    2nd take:
    L, R & S - 6.0
    W - 6.5
    OBS 6.0

    Yung 1st take paki refer na lang sa signature.
    Busy kasi ang hubby ko hindi pa nya nakukuha ang result bale i refer online at eto nga yung nakita ko. Pero we have a lot to thank GOD kahit hindi nya na grant yung wish namin about sa score for 2nd take, my husband was hired for a job na gusto na talaga nyang iwanan ang long time job nya presently sa telco before another company took over dahil sa merge. Ang situation namin sa migration never give up ba? hmmm...pag iisipan pa namin dahil if we pursue kelangan ni hubby magpa re assess sa ACS ulit lapit na expiry May 17 then while ACS is on going kelangan rin retake ng IELTS and pag maganda ang result, grabe! talaga try ulet...sana. and then NSW SS parang umulit kami from the start, haah! tapos lapit na rin skill select pano kung all of this things does not fall into proper place at abutan kami ng skill seclect. Best way cguro apply na lang ng visa class 457 o mag agency na lang hubby ko kahit contractual and then after years saka na lang sya apply ng family migration. Sorry nagiging negative na thinking ko...



    :(

    Guys, I've been wanting to share IELTS reviewers but I don't know how kasi malalaki yung files nya. Each set ata is more than 15MB. I'm currently exploring file sharing through Google Docs. If ok yun, I'll upload them there but I think you need to have a gmail account. I have several Cambridge IELTS reviewers. :)
    Sa mga marunong magtorrent jan, may nakuha ako dati na cambridge 1-7 (1 torrent) and cambridge 8 reviewers... pag di pa naman ok yun, ewan ko na hhahaah... gusto ko din sana i-share kaso upwards 400MB na sila and it would be more efficient kung itorrent na lang. I can provide the torrent links, IM nyo lang ako, wag na lang nating i-post dito sa forum at copyrighted yun mga yun hehe :P

    Badtrip naman.. although kita sa results niya nag-improve talaga siya. He learned from his mistakes sa 1st take ika nga. Mahirap po talaga yun exam last Feb 18 eh. Buti na nga lang nakasabit pa ako sa Writing.

    Hirap nyan kasi meron time pressure. And magastos din. March pa naman meron pa time. Although nakasalalay lahat sa IELTS I think, kasi I'm sure okay ang skills assessment ng husband mo. Kailangan talaga bigyan ng more time yun review.

    Oo nga eh sayang talaga, pero okay na sakin yun. Masama maghangad ng sobra, 7 lang naman kailangan ko. Hehe. Salamat sa lahat ng nagdasal para sa exam ko, at sa lahat ng support dito sa forum. Medyo madali na lang yun next steps pero magastos, SS saka sa DIAC. And then sa medical sana wala naman makita na problem sa amin. Pray pray pray lang.

    tip ko lang po sa mga hindi nakuha ang required mark for IELTS...
    bago kayo magtake ulit... take time to study...
    ako nung 3rd take ko hindi ko pa rin nakuha ang gusto kong mark...
    nagreview ako ng mga 1- 2 month... as in yung ang ginagawa ko kahit sa ofc, wala kasi akong boss e, ako ang boss ko kaya kontrolado ko oras ko :)

    everyday yun lang ginagawa ko... at sa wakas pumasa ako sa 4th take ko, payo ko lang naman po :)

    @Bryann, when it comes sa skills assessment nya no problem kasi stragiht 11yrs. and 2mos ang assessed ng ACS sa hubby ko in 1 company tagal nya dun at ngayon nga nag merge na pero eto lang talagang IELTS ang problem namin. Parang antagal na dapat nag review hubby ko and then at saka lang mag take. Talagang pressure as in talaga...kung kelan wala ng problema sa visa apps payment namin dahil pwede na sya mag file ng early retirement. Eto pa kasi yung 1 namin sanang problem bah, eh malaki rin ang visa apps diba.

    @Cinnamon20, like ko talaga sa WA pero Analyst programmer na approved sa ACS palagay ko yun din ulet pag nag re apply kami tsaka nasa flag down list na ang BA.

    @skyline, napapakamot me sa ulo, he he he parang alkansya na BC at IDP sana pautangin tayo, he he he.

    @icebreaker, talagang time lang ang kelangan ni hubby kasi nag i-improve naman sya eh, parang a month and a half lang ang review nya sa Niners pero hindi nga nakuha. Hirap kasi limited time nya monitoring kasi sa telco ng traffic trabaho nya kahit sa home may work pa rin buti na lang makakalipat na sya ng ibang company.

    @itchan, sabihin ko sa hubby ko yung torrent.

    Sa inyong lahat THANK U! may magagawa ang concern nyo for us to propel and think what we have to do...mahirap yung para kang walang kakampi sa mundo at nag iisa ka lang. Pero nandyan naman din si LORD plus kayo dagdag lakas loob. :)

    Oo nga po @heyitsme_mags why not try the 475 visa. Ako po kasi ganun na lang yung kinuha ko kasi hirap din talaga ko sa IELTS. Di ba po mas madali na kapag nakarating ka na sa Oz and madali na rin makakuha ng work kapag nandun ka na. 2 years ka lang naman sa regional and pwede ka na mag-apply for PR after that.

    @heyits7me_mags , bakit hindi na lang po kayo yung mag apply ng visa then inominate niyo yung asawa niyo as "partner"? Mas lenient po kasi ang guidelines sa ganun...

    Or puwede ring mauna kayo sa Australia then habang andun kayo puwede niyo hanapan din siya ng employer. IELTS 6 ang minimum pag employer sponsored kasi :)

    @stolich18 You are going to keep the reading material throughout the testing time for Reading. So you have the chances to go back to certain passages and paragraphs if you still can't understand them.

    Skilled Regional sponsored visa sir. 10 points kasi sa visa application points system kapag regional sponsored ka. Ito po yung other way to attain the passing mark if di mo ma meet yung 7 on all subtests. temporary visa lang siya for 3 years. tignan mo na lang dito http://www.immi.gov.au/skilled/general-skilled-migration/475/

    Ito po yung inaaplyan ng iba if kulang ka talaga ng points for sa IELTS.

    May nakikita kaming 2 options, yung isa apply na lang thru agency ang hubby ko sabi nun agency after 2 two years pwede na i-apply ng PR visa yung 457 i think ganun ginawa ng neybor ko dito sa subd. namin, nag agency and then after two years sumunod si wife and then after a year kids naman, cguro ika 5yrs. na dun ng husband nya at nakita ko sa fb Australian citizen na silang lahat kelan lang this year nung Australian Day. Baka ganun na lang gawin namin or pa assessed sa ACS last week of March tapos IELTS ng May and then NSW sponsorship pagkatapos ng IELTS, haays! grabeng pressure to ah. Pero parang uncomfortable pag ganyan cguro i leave it to GOD kami kikilos tapos bahala na sa kanya ang resulta, naisip namin cguro hindi pa panahon we think in GODS perfect time.

    Talagang nakakalungkot isipin humulagpos ang katiting na pag asa pero never give up dapat bangon ulet side by side ang paraan...importante makapasok ng Oz kahit sa anong legal na paraan.

    Guys, na-test ko na pala yung Google Documents and I'm happy to say na ok naman sya. I have saved 7 sets of IELTS reviewers there with 4 practice exams each set. :) You need a gmail account to be able to access the files. If may gmail na kyo, PM me your email ad so I can share the documents with you. :)

    Downloading the files is as easy as 1,2,3. File sizes are quite huge though. Just be patient in downloading especially if you're on a dial-up :) (Meron pa bang dial-up internet?)

    1) Click the link/s of the files in the email. You will be redirected to Google Docs.
    2) Click File
    3) Click Download.
    4) Wait a few secs, mins or hrs (depending on your internet speed) and then voila!

    Tip:
    Download and read first "IELTS Preparation Tips" before you proceed with the practice exams. Apply what you learned in the Preparation Tips then practice, practice, practice while having fun! I'm very sure you'll ace your IELTS exam. :)

    Sorry, if I just shared the reviewers. I'd been wanting to do so but due to the huge size, I had no idea how unless you're a friendly neighborhood or officemate of mine, I could send you a CD. Don't know how to upload in torrent either (but I do know how to download. Fine, I'm a leacher :) )

    Nominated Occupation: Software Engineer (261313) - Husband is the primary applicant.
