I dont mind retaking the exams kasi alam ko na papaano magprepare para dito kung meron mang factor na makakaapekto saken yung kundisyon nalang e.g. breakfast, tulog at mental preparedness mo.
liban dun comprehension speaking listening alam mo na lahat yan e saka reading. nasa kundisyon nalang talaga.
salamat sa feedback, hopefully may good news din ako para sa iba dito nagbabalak magparemark.
.5 nalang yung kulang, if ever mag papasched na rin ako for another exam.
