@cp101030 kunti na lang.. try nya gamit template sa writing. yung template ni @MissOZdreamer mataas ang nakuha nya sa writing at improve nya spelling nya. Sulat lng sya ng sulat ng essay para practice sa MS word para Makita nya agad san mali spelling kasi nag ha highlight doon pag mali.

hi guys, i've been a lurker here and decided to create an account to ask questions and at the same time, i was inspired by the PTE journey of each and everyone!

will take PTE but no exact date yet due to busy sched.

sir @dark_knight!, pareho tayo ng area kung saan nahihirapan. may i know how did you approach and prepare for describe image and retell lecture?

dark_knight · July 2017

@shuroro eto nakalagay sa notes ko na sinend ko din kay MissOZDreamer.. practice lang ng practice tapos focus lang kasi mahirap magisip ng sasabihin pag nawala sa focus. sa retell lecture important na makapagtake ng notes, tapos iparaphrase mo lang yung main points.

shuroro · July 2017

gwapita_me · July 2017

shielalables · July 2017

@mayskie nag-email sila now lang pero nung pagbukas ko empty yung form. kabado pa naman ako pagbukas at nanlalamig pa kamay ko haha. balikan ko ulit mamaya. ayaw ko mag expect ng mataas kasi mejo nagstutter ako sa speaking and naturally mabilis akong magsalita. hindi ko na matandaan kung ok ba yung pacing ko. kakaba naman to haha

kh@L3L · July 2017

guys plano ko mag enroll sa e2language, sa mga nka try ng e2, ok lng ba ang bronze na package?

dark_knight · July 2017

@kh@L3L e2language po ako nagreview pero mga free videos lang sa youtube ang ginamit ko. depende din kasi sa fundamentals if need pa ba talaga magenroll dun sa paid subscription.

kh@L3L · July 2017

@dark_knight cge try ko mamaya mag pa assess sa e2 ung mini mock test nila

nag wonder lng kc ako kung ano mangyari pag naka enroll ka, like paano ang training, study plan, writing and speaking assessments, grammar lessons etc?

mayskie · July 2017

@shielalables nag exam din ako yesterday 8am s makati. hehe unang take ko nung june after 2 weeks lumabas ang result.

shielalables · July 2017

@mayskie Good luck satin! Try ko ivisit ulit mamaya. i think last attempt ko na to for superior

if hindi padin pahinga muna

rvrecabar · July 2017

@kh@L3L Nag E2 language lang din ako sa youtube. 2 weekend lang ako nanood then exam na. Mukhang dun din nakuha ni @dark_knight notes nya kasi halos same kami ng notes haha

BTW, start mo panuorin ung WEBINAR playlist ni E2 Language, halos nandun na lahat nung summary/methods/tips. kaya mo tapusin un half-day. Sobrang dami ko natutunan sa webinar playlist na yun. Try that first then assess yourself.

MissOZdreamer · July 2017

@cp101030 hello. Tama po si @batman nung 1st take ko ginamit ko sa essay writing ung format ng e2language tas nung 2nd take ko ginamit ko template ni steven fernandes. Ayun tumaas score ko sa writing from 77 to 88. Nag improve din written discourse ko from 79 to 90 then vocabulary from 74 to 84. Effective po talaga ung template ni steven. Sinubukan ko lang naman gamitin sa 2nd take ko. Naka 293 words pala ako sa essay.

Sa listening naman tumaas din score ko from 72 to 84 kasi during my review for 2nd take nakikinig ako sa BBC news kaya ang laking bagay talaga.

God bless sa next take. Dont give up. Kaya yan

lizzzie · July 2017

@MissOZdreamer pwede po ba makahingi ng template mo sa writing? thank you ung nasabi mo ni sir @batman

rvrecabar · July 2017

@MissOZdreamer looks like I need to check that. Writing din yung need ko iimprove kasi. yun na lang sana superior na.. Do you have links to all of his templates?

MissOZdreamer · July 2017

@rvrecabar hello. Wala akong link. Sinearch ko lang sa google. Eto un... modify mo lang ibang words para maging academic collocations tas practice mo sya sa different types of essays. God bless

Eto po @lizzzie

cp101030 · July 2017

Thanks @batman and @MissOZdreamer sa support, greatly appreciated!

@MissOZdreamer , yung s 2nd paragraph ba is focus sa disadvantages (negative), 3rd paragraph should cover advantages(more on positive) side? Thanks po sa advice.

MissOZdreamer · July 2017

@cp101030 hello. Yes correct po

kh@L3L · July 2017

doublemint · July 2017

Took PTE last weekend for the first time and got the results 3 days later (86,86,80,90 - R,L,S,W)

Nagfocus lang ako sa retell lecture, describe image, and essay writing, i winged the rest. I downloaded the PTE book posted here with answer key. Speaking section was hell for me kasi I was seated beside a "pana" who was literally the worst seatmate you could ever imagine (im sydney based atm). Pero focus lang and be confident kahit mejo walang laman basta tama grammar and on point ang pronunciation.

@doublemint congrats

mga katoto, for those who want to boost their score on ORAL FLUENCY and PRONUNCIATION . You may want to try and download my reviewer and give a try. Promise BIG HELP to sken. I used text to speech and converted "The Academic Collocation List" of PearsonsPTE into MP3 format and I uploaded the output online. I'd just want to help we may use it and learn the correct way to PRONOUNCE and also REMEMBER academic collocations which a big plus in scores.

My technique:
Listening to this in my MP3 3x a day until I get used to it.
Pray everyday and ask GOD for mercy, wisdom and knowledge

GOD bless us all.
