March 15 Test Taker po ako. Hindi rin po talaga madali ang NAATI-CCL. Pero sa awa ng Panginoon ay naka pasa pa rin. I owe God everything. <3 Walang saysay ang preparation kung walang dasal, hindi natin kontrolado lahat ng bagay sa mundo.
Nahirapan po ako sa actual exam, lalo na’t hindi Tagalog yung native tongue ko, at feeling ko din mas mahahaba po talaga yung mga segments ko sa dalawang dialogues compared sa mga nakasanayan ko sa practice. Hindi ko po kasi masyadong na practice yung mahahabang segments na nasa cram course ni Ms. MumVeng. Only 10 - 12 segments lang per dialogue yung nasa exam ko pero kadalasan mahahaba. I think pag konti lang yung number of segments, mas mahahaba po. Yung usual po kasi last year ay 14 to 16 segments.
Nag avail po ako sa Cram course ni Ms. @MumVeng (https://crack-ed.thinkific.com/courses/ccl-10-day-cram-course). I highly recommend her CCL course. Sobrang dami ng materials, mainam para makapag practice talaga. Maganda rin yung pagka design ng review course. Napaka galing din mag turo ni Ms. MumVeng, aalamin nya talaga yung mga weaknesses mo based po dun sa mga results ng Practice Tests at talagang tutulong sya para ma improve yung performance. The best CCL Teacher!

Note Taking:

• Ito po yung mga samples ng ginawa ko (Sorry, my handwriting is terrible!). Malaking tulong po ito, napabilis po yung note taking ko.
Have a convenient note-taking experience like never before.







Actual Exam Tips:
• Before clicking the “Record” button, evaluate first the spectrogram/voiceprint. Minsan dito ka magkakaroon ng idea gaano ba ka haba yung dialogue and it would help you decide or anticipate na you might need to Repeat that specific Segment kung sakaling di mo makuha ng maayos.
For me, isa ito sa mga indicators ko to decide whether I will use 1 repeat/1 correction or not.

• Be sure to make notes kung ano yung sinasabi sa Introduction per Dialogue. Malaking tulong po ito kasi may mga details po sa Intro na magagamit mo po as you proceed with the segments.
• After delivering your response, huwag muna magpa dalos2x sa pag pindot ng “Stop” button. Isipin mo muna kung need mo ba ng Correction o hindi. Any corrections should be prefaced by some suitable phrase (Sorry I’ll just say that part again).
• Kung feel nyo po na hindi mo talaga nakuha yung details ng segment, you can use One Repeat per dialogue without penalty. Sinasabi po doon sa Policy na, You may repeat any segment before you begin your interpretation. Ang ginawa ko dito, pag feel ko na di ko talaga nakuha, hindi muna ako mag sasalita (baka kasi may violations), dretso na po ako dun sa Stop button, then click the “Record” button to proceed with the Repeat Segment.
- Pero, based on my experience, parang contradicting ata sa policy yung pag ka design ng exam interface (I'm not sure though). Kasi kahit may nasabi kana na interpretation, you can still repeat the segment by clicking "Stop", then click Record to repeat the segment. Di ko alam kung may violations po ito. Walang akong nabasa about it.
• Kung sakaling gusto mong gawin yung above-mentioned ambiguity sa Actual exam mo:
- Then, always think twice before clicking “Next”, you may realize na kelangan mo talaga ng Repeat, so pwede mo pa ring e click yung “Stop” button, then click “Record” button to proceed with the Repeat Segment. Kasi kung nakapag click ka na ng "Next" , wala ka na talagang pwedeng magawa sa specific segment na gusto mo sanang i-repeat, kasi walang "Back/Prev" button.
Sana po ay maka tulong ito sa inyo :smile:
God Bless us all :smile:
