    I don't know if my comment will be helpful or annoying, but it seems like the latest takers had a difficult Listening test. I took mine under British Council in Manila and the listening test was relatively easy (not too many numbers to catch).

    Not sure if the testing center has anything to do with the level of difficulty of a test.

    I also remember that the Reading test did not have any section where you had to match headings with paragraphs (that's always difficult).

    Well, here's what happened to my exam today:

    My examiner is an old Pinay. She didn't asked me a lot of questions like what I really expect her to do. I am really expecting for more.

    Here are the questions:
    -full name
    -do you work or study?
    -do you find your job interesting?
    -do you still want this job in the future?
    -what birthdays are more important in the Phil? 18? 21? 60?
    -what do you usually do now for your birthday?
    -what do you expect on your bday when you were a kid?
    -describe a tourist attraction that you really like / what did you do there? / why do you like it?
    -what type of attraction does every age wants?
    -what is the effect of international tourist resorts to the culture? (This was the last question i failed to answer correctly)

    I was really frustrated after that. Well I recovered now because my bf just arrived today as well. Lol
    I actually need a bandscore of 8 in every subject. But I think it's impossible for me to comply that score already. So I think I should buy a ring and mgpropose nlng. Haha

    Anyway, dala na rin ata ng pagpayag ko na mauna maisalang. 11.15 pa sana ako kaso nung tinanong ako kng ok na mauna nlng ako kasi wala pa yung mageexam sa 10.55 slot pumayag na ako. After nun pinapnta na kami sa room.. pgkapicture sakin nagulat na lang ako pinapasok na ako sa room 10.25 palang yun ah. Ccr pa sana muna ko kasi najijingle na talaga ako nun.. sobra aga.. sana di pala muna ako pumayag mauna kala ko kasi keribels na.. haha nakakapahamak talaga ang akala.. hehe

    Thank you. Good luck din po.

    Simple words (but not repetitive) and sentence structure, shorter essay, answering the task fully were my weapons for Writing tasks. I got 6.5 before and perhaps because I used creative vocabulary and complex sentence structure. I made very long task 1 and 2 essays also.

    @SolemateD Hi, no conclusion is needed in Academic WT1 because you just need to describe and summarize the trends according to the graph,table or pie chart presented. You need to summarize the important data/s only.
