it's just spm english..no positive correlation with your command of english

it's just loads of formats to be followed, just like 1119. You know, rpg games. Just finish the quests and you win...

i already did it that's why I have the right to comment here...and u can bet my score was pretty damn above average.

point is, i have friends who can speak very fluently and write with a natural flair but just ain't able to get the hang of writing like what the ielts format dictate...she got 8. Another friend of mine, can tell she's not that english-educated yet she can write like SPM english.. u know..very robotic...'Firstly...blabla..Secondly..blabla..Conclusion is..blabla" ..and she got 8 too.

it's totally possible to get band 9 for Listening and Reading. Well of course the test isn't invalid...neither is SPM english..

the usual requirements are just a band 6.5...and why do you have to relate the level of stupidity of universities with the test? My whole point from the beginning is just even english professors can screw up the test if he doesn't know the format at all.

because not everyone can finish ALL the quests

Sigh..lazy to explain further

Btw, just to let you know i aint bullshitting, i got a band of 8.5. Yupe i screwed up speaking(7.5) because you cant really train that aspect unless you speak alot of english with your peers

The grading system is flawed in the sense that they round the overall scores up. My friend had the exact same scores as me for the rest(9,8.5,8 except for speaking 8.5), we still ended up with the same overall band. See? One whole band difference yet we still get the same band score.
