yung Reading for General Migration pala talaga mataas...kelangan yung raw score of 35 above maabot or 34 atleast para makuha band 7.0
any tips or learning techniques para sa reading, ginagawa ko yung mga mock up exams sa reading at so far hindi ko maintindihan kung maingay lang ba sa bahay, out of condition probably kulang ako sa tulog, or sadyang mahirap yung passage...
out of 4 ace the ielts exams 2 dun yung doing ok ako...pero yung 2 din medyo mahirap
sana po may makatulong...maraming salamat

yung writing, nagpractice talaga ako paulet ulet kahit umay na napansin ko lang dumali yung pagsusulat, nasa taga correct nalang siguro kung ipapasa nya tayo
about sa reading, para saken naramdaman ko talaga yung reading dumali lalo yung part na animals 1 month puros reading ako salamat sa mga tips dito, vinavary ko activities for 1 month reading listening writing minsan sabay sabay buong araw ganun, yung exam ngayon walang masyadong TFNG, ang meron YFNG pero tatlong questions lang.
pinaka mas nagaalala ako ngayon is yung listening if ever kasi yun nga yung part na may Antony regarding organizations at types of walks medyo nalito pero the rest nadali ko lahat sana lang maminimize ko yung errors dun to 10 makakakuha ako 7 if ever. sana less than 10.
anyway tip ko lang sa second takers mas maganda kung napaghandaan in 1 month, yung difference nung first na walang aral at yung second sobrang laki nang diperensya.: )
if ever makapasa malalaman ko din haha..for now back to reality work mode
