I need IELT's to be combined with my CGFNS for my papers to be processed going to US. I am bound for US and the passing rate is a total band score of 6.5 but in speaking the standard passing score is 7. It doesnt matter what is your score in reading, listening and writing as long as you can achieve a total score of 6.5(including speaking).I took my IELTS exam 2 days ago in Baguio City. 2 days prior to my exam I asked my friends in Baguio about hotel where I can stay for 1 day and I also checked the internet to look for hotel so I have many choices to choose. I list down all the hotels I found and called each of them to asked for details like accommodation fee, available rooms, availability of television, hot shower, and blah blah blah. Im planning to stay for 1 day only but all of them have a cut off time of 1200 pm. Since my speaking exam was 1830 I have no choice but to extend my time. If I will extend my time I will be charge for P100 per hour and my plan was to leave Baguio by

I want to read Nursing books rather than reviewing IELTS. IELTS is boring compared to reading pedia, OB, med surg and psyche but I dont have a choice since I need to pass it as soon as possible. After IELTS, I dont really know what to do I want to work to polish some of my skills but I also want to study again for NCLEX, my problem is I havent pass any requirements for NCLEX. My friends in MRLRC already pass their NCLEX and CGFNS, they simultaneously pass their requirement in CGFNS and NCLEX thats why they took their NCLEX a month after CGFNS where their review was still fresh, most of them are my competitor in MRLRC in getting awards. My target workplace is New York because my agency is based in New York. I hope its a better place for me and I hope I can get there within 2 years time. My eldest sister waited for 18 months for processing of her papers after she got his CGFNS certificate so I need to wait that long. For me thats enough to get the practice that I need. I havent take my I

Here's a useful technique I learned from an English teacher that you can use for your own English exam. This can be used either when taking the Writing or Speaking modules in TOEFL iBT or IELTS.When being asked your opinion on any subject matter, you can use a simple formula. For example, if you were asked: "What are your favorite tourist destinations in Manila?" You can answer this by using a formula: General statement + List + Explanation of each subject on list + summary.To apply this formula,this is how I would answer the question:(1) Manila is a beautiful city with many tourist attractions. (2)Among these attractions, my favorites are Luneta Park, Intramuros, and Manila Bay. (3)I like Luneta Park because I can just sit down on the grass and relax and enjoy a picnic. (4) I like Intramuros because I can look at many historical artifacts displayed there and get to see different products from the provinces that are being sold at a fair inside Intramuros. (5) Lastly, Manila Bay is als

I get asked a lot about what English exam is best to take when applying for a license in the US. People who read my blog know that I took the TOEFL iBT for my own licensure application but most people I know take the IELTS.The Test of English as a Foreign Language (TOEFL) is administered by ETS, a private nonprofit organization that develops and administers tests for educational measurement and research. The TOEFL and its latest product, the TOEFL iBT, was primarily developed to test English skills of foreign nationals to see if they would be able to communicate effectively in an academic setting in the US. That's why the content of the test simulates situations on campus that potential students would like encounter.On the other hand, the International English Language Testing System (IELTS) is jointly managed by the University of Cambridge ESOL Examinations, British Council and IDP Education Australia. Unlike TOEFL which is geared primarily for an academic setting, IELTS offers two m
