I am not a nurse but I saw this website after searching "IELTS 7 Philippines". I had a terrible experience with this IELTS and really just because of this, I was not able to apply for a 176 VISA where my State Sponsorship already expired, it is really disheartening. Anyways I took the test 4 times, and always have a 6.5 score either in writing or speaking. I passed the speaking once with a score of 7 but not in writing. When I got 7 in speaking, my interviewer was an old lady. I can say that of all my speaking exam it was the worst, yet I got 7. Others would say, you cannot judge IELTS it is a very cunny exam. Well, I am there four times and if I will compare all four interviewers, the old lady is really generous in giving grade. Before, I had a young Filipino and Filipina interviewer, both of them gave me a score of 6.5 where I know in myself I performed better than that. Some of my friends fly to Singapore just to take the exam, my other friend even score 4 here in the Philippines but scored a minimum of 7 on all band in Singapore. ******** Filipino assesor in short. Lucky are those who passed IELTS here in the Philippines. IDP and BC earns 13 million minimum a month because of this papers, it's a REAL money making business. Anyways, I already get rid of this by earning higher points on other factors in the Australian Point System.
