@jwolf oo naman kaya lang baka di mo makita kung ano words ang kailangan iprepare na ipronunce sa read aloud. Yup, katulad ng sinabi ng iba, mas maganda imemorize mo ung format para di ka magulat sa transition ng exam
@jwolf ay, pero sabi sa rules ng test center bawal daw. Pero may nakagawa na niyan ayon sa ibang member ng forum.

hi all! my husband and i would just like to express our heartfelt appreciation to those who unabashedly shared their experiences; generously contributed links, reviewers, tips what not. we would like to give back somehow by giving an account of our own challenges and our victory.
my husband's first brush with the IELTS was in 2014, in Singapore which was for the Uni application. he scored 8.5 - 7 -7 - 8.5 in the academic module.
since he did not do so bad the first time, we thought getting a band 8 in all four components in the general training module will not be so difficult. my husband sat the exam last july 16 and was dismayed/frustrated that he got the same exact marks 8.5 - 7 - 7- 8.5 despite his efforts to improve on his writing and comprehension skills. we could not point a finger to how else he can better his scores. it is like an itch that we cannot scratch. we knew the only course of action was to take the exam again but we thought, there might be a test more suitable for the likes of him (whatever that means).
PTE academic.
i read this thread, from page 1 (!) and was convinced it was worth the shot. we booked it,
since the husband's weakest components were reading and writing, we focused on those.
his practice marks as follows:
12 August TEST A L76 - R72 - S79 - W67 this was raw with little preparation. We wanted to find out how he would fair. The session took 3 hours and the marks were available after as little as 2 hours.
17 August TEST B L90 - R78 - S90 - W82 this was the night before his actual PTE. It took him 3 hours. This was after he has studied the collocations, he has watched the YouTube video and answered all four sets (reading and writing ONLY) of the MacMillan reviewer. The results took FOREVER (20 hours) to upload! By the time it was updated, the husband was already done with his ACTUAL PTE!
when my husband sat the test, he was under the weather. he had a fever the day before, he was having the sniffles and his voice sounded different. i gave him sambucol capsules but he restrained himself from taking panadol for fear that it will make him sleepy/less alert. we were prepared to book another session but last night we received one amazing news, my husband's marks were beyond what we dared hope for L87 - R90 - S85 - W90 TO JESUS BE ALL THE GLORY AND PRAISE!!! GOD INTERVENED, my husband could not have possibly made it on his own devices!!!

@xiaolico Hi I was seated sa computer no.1 when i took PTE.

Important po na kalmado lang ung voice while taking the exam. my other tips po are on page197 of this thread. God bless on your next exam po.

@mrfifi88 Ako tuloy tuloy Lang. Some are saying better if you have an intro body and conclusion. Ako tuloy tuloy Lang. Bunch of sentences put together. I passed naman. In my opinion, the machine can not know if there's an intro body and conclusion. And I think, the simpler the better. Para pag daan nung parang bar code reader Nila, mas madaling mababasa. Don't over think it

@aje15 as much as possible we maximize the 40 seconds. based on my experience kinukulang ako sa ibang graph. if in case na tapos kana. you can click next agad, no issue.
I see yan siguro I would apply in describe image na complete na 40 secs. What about sa 'Read Aloud' natapos ko na basahin pero may time pa rin so click ko na agad next kasi kapag three secs d na ako nagsalita baka magingzero score ko. Ganun din ba gnagawa nyo?

Mas okay sa read aloud na wag masyado mabilis para ma interpret ng PC pero wag din over sa bagal, then pag tapos kana po magbasa, click next after 1 sec para di nya ma-record yun background noise from your seatmates.

my husband's first brush with the IELTS was in 2014, in Singapore which was for the Uni application. he scored 8.5 - 7 -7 - 8.5 in the academic module.
since he did not do so bad the first time, we thought getting a band 8 in all four components in the general training module will not be so difficult. my husband sat the exam last july 16 and was dismayed/frustrated that he got the same exact marks 8.5 - 7 - 7- 8.5 despite his efforts to improve on his writing and comprehension skills. we could not point a finger to how else he can better his scores. it is like an itch that we cannot scratch. we knew the only course of action was to take the exam again but we thought, there might be a test more suitable for the likes of him (whatever that means).
PTE academic.
i read this thread, from page 1 (!) and was convinced it was worth the shot. we booked it,
we bought the GOLD KIT.
we watched this
we printed the academic collocations list http://pearsonpte.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/07/AcademicCollocationList.pdf
we downloaded these files
https://drive.google.com/drive/u/0/folders/0B-SWiaKXacYAUzBwdWgzd1A2UHc
since the husband's weakest components were reading and writing, we focused on those.
his practice marks as follows:
12 August TEST A L76 - R72 - S79 - W67 this was raw with little preparation. We wanted to find out how he would fair. The session took 3 hours and the marks were available after as little as 2 hours.
17 August TEST B L90 - R78 - S90 - W82 this was the night before his actual PTE. It took him 3 hours. This was after he has studied the collocations, he has watched the YouTube video and answered all four sets (reading and writing ONLY) of the MacMillan reviewer. The results took FOREVER (20 hours) to upload! By the time it was updated, the husband was already done with his ACTUAL PTE!
when my husband sat the test, he was under the weather. he had a fever the day before, he was having the sniffles and his voice sounded different. i gave him sambucol capsules but he restrained himself from taking panadol for fear that it will make him sleepy/less alert. we were prepared to book another session but last night we received one amazing news, my husband's marks were beyond what we dared hope for L87 - R90 - S85 - W90 TO JESUS BE ALL THE GLORY AND PRAISE!!! GOD INTERVENED, my husband could not have possibly made it on his own devices!!!
