So maririnig mo sarili mo pati katabi mo saka yung iba pa sa tabi tabi lalo na kung malakas boses 😆 Practice in an environment with noise, so you can establish focus on your test day. Ang laking factor nito pag nadistract ka ng ibang test takers--happened to me. I tried sa PTE Magic seems like mas madali yung samples nila sa speaking. Sa E2 Language naman napansin ko medyo advanced yung samples sa YT especially sa DI. Should I stick with APEUni or is it better to practice with several resources online?

For people who are based in SG and are having problems s evidence of payment for ACS, I highly recommend Austral. They are based in SG and they are an expert based on our experience. Too bad I actually signed with an agency in Australia but they didn’t manage to help us on our documents - waisted 3500 aud on them and time.

Rummy also contributes to emotional intelligence. In competitive play, maintaining composure, reading opponents, managing frustration, and making rational decisions instead of emotional ones are essential. This helps players develop emotional control, empathy, and the ability to handle pressure—key components of emotional intelligence [visit here](https://cardrummy.io/ "visit here"). Over time, this translates into better relationships, more effective communication, and the ability to handle conflicts with maturity and grace.
