1.       IELTS or OET??
Ahmmm, OET?? IELTS?? – bahlakajan! 😁😁


Before you create an account in NMC, please make sure you have met their ENGLISH LANGUAGE REQUIREMENT!

> IELTS UKVI       (Listening/Reading/Speaking = 7 / Writing = 6.5 )                                           
> OET     (Listening/Reading/Speaking /Writing = B )
                                 

or check NMC’s list here:  (might be applicable to you)



NOTE:  If you took OET, you still need to take UKVI IELTS for UK Visa application, but don’t worry you will only need a band score of 4 in all subtest. πŸ‘ (keribels na yun)  Estimated Cost? OET: Php 25K  /  UKVI: Php 14K – so if you want to hit two birds with one stone, you can Go for UKVI!

(In my case.. Nachambahan ko OET πŸ˜‚God is good.. Dasal lang~ Manalig!  Im still hoping they will have deliberation also for IELTS Speaking band score like what they did in Writing. Pray tau mga besh sana babaan din nila! πŸ˜ƒ
