    @j_fangonilo I agree with @bjsad214. Nagtry nako magsearch ng promocode before but to no avail. Yung price kc sa PTE site is already discounted.

    @Skye24 hi! Newbie here. Nagtake din ako PTE exam kanina sa Makati and like you nag aabang din ng reportable scores online. Anyway same din nakikita ko sa Pearson acct ko. Not available pa daw.. hindi nga ako makatulog. This is my second English proficiency exam na kasi.. the first one was IELTS, 7.5 overall rating ko but sadly may 6.5 ako sa reading. So ayun nagtry ako ulit but Pearson na this time kasi may nag advise sakin na mas malaki daw chance na makakiha ng superior rating.. hoping for the best. Goodluck to us!

    @miranda82 @Skye24 I also got mine, but unfortunately hindi rin ako nakapasa for the first take. L63 R63 S44 W75

    For the speaking (OF37 & PR35), bakit kya ganito? Sobrang baba naman kahit spontaneous naman ung pagsasalita ko (except sa may naririnig akong hangin sa headset, na sabi nmn ng test admin ay normal lang nmn daw).

    Dahil sa cases naten hindi ko maiwasang matanong. Nagwowork pa kaya yung mga standard templates or somehow nadedetect na rin ng PTE/computer yun. Hmm. Anyone kumuha rin recently and positive ang result sa speaking? Please help us po. Salamat.

    Hi guys, silent reader lang ako for the past few months dito. I'll be sharing my experience and tips later, sobrang laking tulong nung mga nagshare ng templates and experience dito so sana makatulong din ako.

    Nagtake ako nung jan. 9 and I can attest na nagwowork ung templates sa speaking.

    @bjsad214 eto mga comments ko sa recording mo:
    - parang mejo nag he-hesitate ka.
    - nag stutter ka before saying doctor. Any reason why?
    - mejo off yung pronunciation mo. Specifically these words: fast, balance, staff. Letter A sa words na yan dapat parang 'ae' hindi 'uh'. Sa words like legal, stress mo yung e na parang 'ee'
    - commas = half pauses, periods = full stops

    Eto recording ko nung sentence mo. Pasensya na sa sound quality hahaha nagddrive ako eh.
    https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B3WkIVufGvawRXBYUFF0NTVoQUk/view?usp=drivesdk

    Yung reviewers na ginamit ko like MacMillan, meron mga sample recordings to compare. Helpful tong mga to. Try to google din mga pronunciation ng words na di ka confident.

    Another tip, diba may timer before mag start yung recording? Dun pa lang nag read aloud na ko para ma practice before nung tunay na recording. This can help lessen stuttering due to hesitations kasi napasadahan mo na yung sentence.

    Hope this helps! Kaya yan practice lang.

    @Heprex binagalan ko yan actually kc ung una kong mock test binilisan ko umaabot lang ako 20 seconds so binagalan ko pra mreach around 25-30 seconds. Ayun, tumaas naman score ko.

    @freakazaa di ko maaccess recording mo. Ayaw magplay. Try ko ulit. Anyways, ung sa doctor, the reason behind is nag scan kc husband ko from image gamit app so medyo natakpan nya ung binabasa ko nun. Check out ko ulit pronun ko sa mga words na yan. Thanks sa comments.

    Also, ginagawa ko din na binabasa ko aloud ung sentence dun sa timer, pra alam naskim ko na sya at alam na ung thought nung sentences.
