hi! you might wanna check ung mga categories that contribute huge percentage sa exam. so for both listening and writing, I think it'd be really helpful for you to practice the highlighted categories below:

it's also important to take note to practice/try different techniques that will work for you. π so, for the highlighted ones, what worked for me for:
RS: I created an image in my mind na connected sa sinasabi ng speaker + I wrote the initials of each word (so that I can refer to it once I started repeating the sentence + I copied the speaker's intonation
WE: I followed APEUni's template + double checked the grammar/spelling/capitalization/punctuation/number of words before hitting submit + I always wrote first ung template, then input nlng my opinion/stand to save time rin.
FIB-RW: click muna ako ng random answers sa lahat ng blank, then when I was reading na, dun pa lang ako pipili ng right answer + I look for keywords before and after ng sentence na binubuo ko, madalas kasi need makuha muna ung context para mapick ung right words.
SST: I followed APEUni's template, in past tense lang hehe.
FIB-L: I used tab key to go to the next blank so I won't need to use the mouse. that way, I could save time and focus on the speaker + I gave extra focus rin dito since possible may -ed, -d, -s, -es ung word hehe sayang rin points + while may timer pa, chinecheck ko agad ung paragraph, if may blanks na magkadikit para I can make myself ready enough sa pagtype faster or just type muna the first 2-3 letters while remembering the word. i can go back nlng to this after I finished all the blanks. + I double checked spelling before hitting submit button
HW: my favorite part kasi maghihighlight lang π my strategy here is I hover my cursor word per word + I listen first before reading the word. yes, medyo challenging at first kasi automatic if may mkta tayong word, nababasa agad. pero what I did is listen ko muna ung speaker then check if same sa word kung nasan ung cursor ko. matic if hindi same, click ko na ung word.
WFD: while remembering the context what the speaker said, I just wrote muna ung 2-3 letters of each word. then after magsalita ng speaker, I then completed each word + I double checked my spelling, punctuation, pronouns, singular/plural, with -ed/-d words. if I'm not sure, nilalagay ko na lang ung present and past tense. hehe wala naman minus points sa extra word.
i hope makuha mo ung technique that'll work for you and benefit you π
