IELTS / TOEFL

[IamDindin]

Hello mga sisses!  Newbie here.  Congrats sa mga naka pasa na for IELTS.  I'll be taking my exam on December 1.  Kabado na ako, kasi nag enroll nga ako sa review center pero bihira ko naman na attendan dahil sa load ng work   Hindi pa ko ready, pero kailangan ko na talaga mag exam, kasi na delay na ng na delay yung papers ko for Canada. 

Any tips from you? Lalo na speaking?   Whenever I go home from work I try to answer my reviewers for reading and listening, kaya ang problem ko now is hindi na ko nakapag practice for writing and speaking.  Hay....

Planning to take IELTS din sana this December kaso wala pa akong lakas ng loob, takot pa ko siguro hindi pa prepared kasi naman 7 ang score na need ko. I've decided na January na lang. Sana 1st take pa lang makuha ko na yun score of 7 on each subtest. Please help us lord.

Okay lang yan mga sis. If you have good understanding in english passages/situations/readings wala kayong problem sa listening and reading. Tricky lang sa listening kasi one time lang ipeplay pero sunod sunod naman yung answer sa tanong so kung may malampasan ka recall mo nalang pero kung nasagutan mo ng sunod sunod ur on right track.

Regarding writing, practice the 150 and 250 words style. yan kasi minimum ng 2test eh tapos grammar, logic. Yan chinecheck. Kame ng ate ko parehong 5.5 lang dyan eh. (Min grade usually)
Speaking naman spontaneous ka lang and give some words na malalim lulusot ka nian. Hehe. Ako nun mejo namemental block ako pero naka 7 pa.

Kayang kaya yan! Saka for sure on the exam date d kana kakabahan kasi mga kasabay mo from all ages talaga

Hi sis glacy_rein, thank you for the tips!:)  I practiced more on Reading and Listening, hindi ko na practice ang writing, maybe mamaya hanggang sa day before the exam.  Sabi nga nila ang writing ang medyo masalimuot. hehe  by the way, Acad ba yung tinake mo or GT?

[glacy_rein]

@princess_chill

If 5.5 lang need mo na score madali lang basta kaya mo magtutugma ng sagot in english and logical order. Kahit simple words lang gamitin basta maayos ang grammar at logic ookay yan.

@roxykarlo

See the british council org in ortigas. May nov 20,27 then dec 4,11 worth 2,200 lang pero very helpful.

@iamdindin

GT sis. Same lang lahat ng tests ata except sa reading. Dun lang yata nagdidiffer ang acad exam sa gt exam

@iamdindin

GT sis. Same lang lahat ng tests ata except sa reading. Dun lang yata nagdidiffer ang acad exam sa gt exam

They differ in writing din sis, sa task 1 lang naman   GT din ako, kabadong kabado na ako! Hahaha  By the way sis, do you still remember kung ano yung tinanong sa yo sa speaking?

[glacy_rein]

^ah talaga? Sa task 1? Sana wag ako irequire kunin nun. Hehe. Sabe kasi okay na gt thats why i took the gt instead of acad.

Random questions eh as in siguro mga 4-5 questions.. Then follow-ups pa.. May photography, school, future, youth, mentors, likes... Sister ko about artista eh. Hehe.

[Princess_Chill]

@glecy_rein

sis may reviewer ba or need ko ba kumuha ng reviewer?

hai naloloko ako..hindi ko alam kung itutuloy ko ba ito or what....

[glacy_rein]

^ano ba itetake mo? Better take one na sis para matignan mo na talaga ang makukuha mong score. Kapag d ka satisfied pwede mo ulitin agad, nga lang sayang pera. Hehe.

Better take the one day workshop then review the materials from the place itself, sa ortigas mismo. Ok na un wag na magclasses kasi babayad kapa don.

Ive been there, in that situation pero determined ako na makaalis this year and as i pass now waiting nalang ako sa visa release.

Go na!

[roxykarlo]

i have to take that dec 11 one day workshop sa ortigas ba yun? eto need ko sis L-7.5, W-6.5, R-6.5, S-6.5.. hay.

[glacy_rein]

Yes sa ortigas sis, wait mo mag dece,ber baka may mag-open pa na slots na mas malapit sa january exam mo.

Kaya yan sis just do your best.

Okay na yun sis glacy_rein, no need to take the acad anymore, kasi immigrant visa naman ata yung ina applyan mo?  

Nakaka kaba ang speaking sis, baka mag stutter ako at ma mental block. 

[glacy_rein]

^i hope so sis,

Okay lang yun sis saka simple random questions lang naman parang pang ms.universe lol. Go ka na

[IamDindin]

Sis glacy_rein, may question pala ako. Yung task card sa speaking, si examiner ba ang magbibigay ng task card sa akin, o may bubunutin ako? Thanks sis

[glacy_rein]

^in my case she gave it, ask muna ilang simple questions bago nya binigay tapos aun expound nalang.
