Wahhh, thank you sa forum na'to!! Just took my exam yesterday and may results na today :blush:
__
Grateful for the people here for sharing their tips. I was aiming for at least 79 but I got scores na beyond my target! :blush:

Saan ko po nagtake? Anong templates po na ginamit mo? How about sa placement po ng mic? Thank you po and congrats!

Sa Trident Makati po ako nagtake.
For the:
templates:
DI & RL: I used Jimmyssem's technique (I used APEUni as my practice tool but its AI isn't the same as that of the actual PTE so if you're using it too, you might get lower scores, but it's okay. then, you may check Jimmyssem's here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hDheXo2epi4)
SWT: I used APEUni's = <sentence 1> and <sentence 2>, which means that <sentence 3>, so <sentence 4> <sentence 5>
ESSAY: I used APEUni's too (nowadays.. first & foremost .. additionally..)
SST: I used APEUni's too but in past tense (emphasized, mentioned, believed..)
mic placement: I took my time tlga to make myself comfy like okay ba ung upuan, ung keyboard if smooth ba ung pagclick, ung mouse, ung given pen and paper (if working perfectly), ung sitting position ko, since no timer naman ung first part which is basically reading instructions lang.
for its placement, nagwork sakin ung 3 fingers away from the middle of my mouth and chin. (I'm semi-loud when speaking.) take note lng din na ung 1st window ng exam, dun mo maadjust ung volume na magfefeedback sayo. initially, nasa middle ung volume nya and super lakas. i adjusted it mga around 1-3 bars nung volume indicator and it worked well naman! once magnext ka na from the 1st window, di ka na pwede bumalik. so double check it lang rin :wink: I watched this also before taking my exam:

i wanna share lang rin my score tracking using APEUni, to gauge lang rin pano ung scoring nya:

i hope this helps :>
