Hello po, I'm planning to retake PTE to increase points sa EOI. Mababa po ako sa Reading. Any tips po para sa Reorder Paragraph? Yun po kasi yung identified weakness ko. Thank you po 😊

How much did you get sa Reading? Mas malaki bigay ng FITB R at FITB R/W e, around 40 pts. I'm assuming mga nasa 75+ ka na sa Reading?
I only got 72 points po 😢 talaga po ba? Medyo naggets ko naman po yung sa FIBs, nakakasagot naman po sa practice tests. Pero sa RO po talaga, minsan okay, madalas nakakagulat bakit po yun ang 1st sentence 🥲

On a pts perspective kasi, eto break down

FITB R/W - 24

MCMA - 4

RP - 8

FITB R - 20

MCSA - 2

So since 72 palang range mo, I recommend na konting push pa sa parehong FITB. Mababa lang kasi talaga bigay ng re-order, so kung mataas ka sa FITB I'm confident na aabot ka ng 75+, like 78. Hindi ka bababa ng 72 dahil lang sa re-order, may ibang subtest na naka affect nyan.

Hirap din po ako sa RO during review kasi andaming pwedeng lineup ng sentences. Pero eto po ang ginawa kong techniques:

c.3. Reorder Paragraph

> Sometimes the first sentence can start in pronoun
> Identify the first sentence which can stand alone. Apply elimination method.
> For the succeeding sentences, take note of the keywords used. They are interconnected to each other. They may be used as a reference for the next sentence. Don't split 2 sentences with the same keywords.
> The last/final sentence has a concluding tone

Thank you po sa tips 🙏🏽 Naalala nyo pa po ba tungkol saan yung RO question nyo po? Baka po kasi may chances of repetition 🥲

Check mo yung kay Jay ng E2 language. Maganda yun technique nya doon. It was my weakness back then itong ROP. Haha. Pero baka kulang karin doon sa first time ng speaking part, kasi malaki ang bigay nun sa reading. Try to practice sa Apeuni and saguting un monthly or weekly test nila.

Hindi na eh. Pero to be honest, mas nadalian ako sa actual exam compared sa mock test and ApeUni tasks.

Tama si silverbullet, focus on the Big 4 which are Repeat Sentence, Read Aloud, Fill in the Blanks, and Write from Dictation.

Ang napansim ko during my actual exam, sobrang dami ng Fill in the Blanks sa Reading category. You might want to focus and gain score from that task.

Medyo nahirapan din ako sa Reading since yun ang pinakamababa ko at 83/90. For Listening, Speaking & Writing kasi I managed to get 90/90.

PS: Always pray na madali lang ang maibigay na questions sayo during your test day. Pray na lumabas din mga nireview mo. Tiwala lang po and have faith, God will help you. 🙂

2 years validity. So Feb 2022.

Thank you. So to address the expiration, I shall take the PTE again by Feb 2022 and achieve the same score last time right? No need to edit anything on my lodged EOI? Thank you

Kailan po exam niyo? Sa November 18 ako haha! First test date after the changes that will happen on November 16 sa PTE. Sana gumana pa lahat ng templates.

And yes, tama sila. Focus on these 4 question types (listed in order of importance): Write From Dictation, Repeat Sentence, Read Aloud, and Fill In The Blanks (Read and Write).

Focusing on these doesn't mean you should not practice the other question types. Based sa mga nababasa ko, ito yung may mga malalaking weightage sa scores and they affect 2 strands. Sunod sa mga yan are SWT, SST, and Re-Tell Lecture.

Good luck sa atin!

Hi @olew, I believe for visa purposes, PTE validity is 3years. You can also search for it. 🙂

Thank you po ❤️ Balitaan nyo po ako sa magiging changes 😊 Good luck po! Baka next quarter na po ako mag take, if ever di pa rin mainvite, para po magpa taas ng points 🙏🏽

So far po yung changes is decreased duration sa overall time (from 3 hours to 2 hours); so that means may mga test items na nagreduce ng number of questions. You can watch yung E2 Language PTE Update video on what specific question types yung nagreduce.

Thank you din po and good luck sainyo!

Yes, this is accurate @MLBS if reordering paragraph and concern mo. Hanapin mo lagi yung magkadugtong na 2 sentences kasi by pair of sentence and scoring.

Sino pong nakakaalam ng iba pang reliable dito na PTE learning website? Natry ko na yung ApeUni, Language Academy and 79Score.

Also yung may free mock exam sana haha! Na-take ko na din yung free ng Language Academy tapos mamaya ko ittry yung sa 79Score.

Just received my PTE exam results! Nag-take po ako kanina lang (November 18), 7:30am. Sa mga kasabayan ko diyan, grabe ang ingay pala talaga!!! HAHA NO OFFENSE! May isang babae dun kanina grabe ang ingay talaga huhu!

First take, naka-Superior po ako! Thank God need ko kasi ito to reach 70 points sa EOI.

Sa mga mag-ttake po, here are some of my personal observations and tips sa loob ng testing center:

1) Sa loob ng testing center, MAINGAY TALAGA. Kaya mag-practice po kayo with background noise (specifically this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnGI1NPTIi4). Dapat marunong din po kayo mag-zone out ng ingay.

2) Ang challenging lang talaga is the Speaking part. Lalo na ang daming maingay kanina (no offense kung kayo yun tapos kasabayan ko kayo kanina haha!)

3) Sa Reading and Listening, wag masyadong mag-focus sa mga Multiple Choice questions kasi nakakakain ng time yun.

Experiences with the test:

1) Ang dami kong stutter sa RA (siguro mga 3 items), same with RS (2-3 items din) pero for some reason naka-90 pa din ako sa Speaking di ko ineexpect haha!

2) Challenging ng kaunti yung Reading section sa test ko, kaya yun yung pinaka-mababa ko. Pero at least, Superior pa din.

3) Feel ko nakabawi ako sa WFD, kasi na-perfect ko siya. So maganda din na mabilis kayo mag-type para ma-type niyo as you're hearing the audio.

Good luck po sa mga mag-ttake!
