Question lang po about Form 1195 Identity declaration....so kailangan talaga na whoever is certifying it knows you for more than 12 months?

in AUSTRALIAN CITIZENSHIP TIMELINE Comment by kimchiboi July 2019
Tama sabi nila, try 189, 190 and 489 visa...these are permanent resident visas na pwede apply-an ng mister mo. I applied for 189 visa in 2015 as Chemical Engineer and it is actually not difficult for as long as you got the required points. The bulk …

Based on my job-hunting experience: 1. Coverletter is not really necessary unless it specifically asked in the job ads. 100% of my interviews are application without cover letter including my job. I asked our HR why they don't ask for it and she sai…

Buhayin ko lang itong post na ito....anyone here who lives in Rockhampton. I got a job offer there and planning to move next month. Can you share which area is safe (against crime, flood, etc. ).

Para sa akin NAB Classic ang the best. Wala kasi itong fee unlike nung accounts sa other big banks. And once you have the NAB Classic account you can open NAB isaver online which has higher interest rate. Yung ibang account kasi parang ideal sya kun…

@lester_lugtu IELTS Acad ang hinihingi nila...pwede rin TOEFL or PTE Academic. I also have a PR but all Universities na in-apply-an ko (including Univ of Melb) asked for proof of English proficiency. http://futurestudents.unimelb.edu.au/admissions…

@bait0211 : I tooked the IELTS in November last year. I prepared for a month back then. But for PTE I just prepared for a week with 1 scored practice test.

@kristine_1377 : Lahat online. Of course the exam is done in the designated PTE facilities.

@shye428 : There's no limit same as with IELTS

@oyams90 Yung online sample test or booster is only one set so kunin mo lang sya one day otherwise sayang lang. yung scored practice test, 2 set yun, set A and B.

in Alternatives to IELTS - TOEFL and PTE Academic Comment by kimchiboi March 2015
@oyams90 : Yes I also purchase that. In my case I did all the online sample question which is almost equivalent to 1 whole test simulation (not graded). Afterwards, I took the online scored practice test. Just 1 day preparation since my focus is jus…

@oyams90: Yes I took the scored practice test from PTE website. I think very helpful sya para alam mo na yung gagawin during actual test.

@Xiaomau82: Yes I took IELTS last year. Honestly, I don't think PTE Academic is easier...in fact I found its speaking and listening section more difficult. However, that is not my problem area...it is writing. I have a terrible penmanship so I need …

in Alternatives to IELTS - TOEFL and PTE Academic Comment by kimchiboi February 2015
If you have a very special case, maybe...but under normal case, I don't think it is worth it. The application procedure is very clear and information is everywhere in the internet and forum like this unlike in the old days. After all, you are still …

in should i hire a migration agent Comment by kimchiboi February 2015
sa tingin ko same level of difficulty lang...mas prefer ko actually ang essay...but for me, mas ok ang design ng PTE Academic. Tapos some categories are overlapping. For example, you are required to write a summary of a lecture sa listening, tapos y…

@filipinacpa : Base sa experience ko kasi, medyo subjective yung IELTS in terms of grading since it is dependent on human scorer specially sa writing and speaking. Tapos kung hindi ka maganda magsulat kagaya ko...medyo mahirap pumasa sa writing.... (

in Alternatives to IELTS - TOEFL and PTE Academic Comment by kimchiboi February 2015
@shye428: Actually wala syang fix number for each category. Meron syang alloted number of time per section and the computer will randomly assign a number of questions from the test bank. For example sa case ko in Writing, I got 3 items in summarizi…

@whizler Oo sayang yung Speaking ko kasi kinapos ako ng 2 points to get the 20 points for English. Pero ok na rin kasi nasa 65 na total points ko. Dito sa Seoul, South Korea ako kumuha. Mas mura sya ng konti sa IELTS. Price is around Php9000. Nag-e…

I took the PTE Academic last Feb 14. I cannot tell kung mas mahirap sya pero ang problem ko kasi sa IELTS is writing....manually. At least sa PTE Academic computerized so nadalian ako sa writing. Speaking is more difficult though.
