PTE ACADEMIC

jedh_g

@hopeful_mea wow expert hehehe! Thanks here's where I am now on my review stage as follows and in accordance to your tips in order below:

I only bought the PTE Mock Test - Set B only thru iam_juju along w/ free practice test
Planning to take my mock test Set B a week before my exam date (1 month from now).
Quite confident on my fluency, diction and loudness of my voice. I just have to practice coherence and master the template to avoid stuttering during the actual speaking part of the exam.

My strategy now is learn more vocabulary words per day. I have kept a notebook where I had written the (1) Test format, (2) Speaking template including Essay, (3) Listen to downloaded PTE online source audio's on my way home (2 hours din on my way home). Then mixed alternately with my favorite songs just to balance my ears.

So far so good. From my analogy of the test format, answer short questions has a lot of items followed by repeat sentence. Not to focus on these exam sections but they weigh much on quantity. I find read aloud a good starter to gain confidence as its the first part where you will vocalize a lot followed by describe image. Re-Tell Lecture & Summarize Written Text requires practice every day to master. Good thing on the last part which is Write Essay, it will just take exposure by reading lots of essay samples. Mabuti I am fine with my previous IELTS Writing score consistent at 7.0

Practice, persevere and pray!

@hopeful_mea ung unang take ko dec 11 lumabas ang result jan 5 na. nkakainis tlga un. ok lng sana pag psado. eh bagsak nmn

hopeful_mea

@kymme hala that long?? omg para nman akong kinabahan bigla. wag nman sana ='(

hopeful_mea

@jedh_g naku sir mdyo mahaba yung describe image nyo. Highest and lowest lng and you're good na nyan.

1st sentence- yung one line script

2nd-3rd sentence-highest and lowest point

4th sen-conclusion (invent kahit ano)

last sen- Also, the chart is concise and accurate blah blah yung script

Sa writing if you got 7 sa ielts don't bother studying po you'll surely get 80+ sa pte. No need to study na din sa summarize written and spoken test. Just remember to maximize the no.of words. 60-70 words dpat ang masulat pra mataas score. Sa summarize written text nman, one sentence lng so ok lng kunting words pero make sure complex ang sentence and yung key words from the text andun sa sentence nyo.

@hopeful_mea pwede ba dun sa image banggitin ko na lang yung tig iisang line gaya ng:

In 1750, Asia's population started with 62% of population and has a slight decrease of 2% in the year 2000 which is 60%

In Europe, the population started off with 21% in 1750, and a significant decrease of population with only 10% in the year 2000

then script ulit . . . .

@mokong pwde ding gnun sir. Anyway i think ang tinitingnan lng nman dn dun ng computer e nsabi mo ang key points, yung figures and places considered as data points na.

Guys nakuha ko na result, nkakapanlumo. Mali nga talaga ang position ng mic ko at hinayaan ko na ma.breathy ang recording. I was confident na ok lng yun pero hindi pla. Sobrang bagsak ang Speaking ko this time 49 lng. Hindi na ko reliable source ngyon wahhhh...signing off na muna ako while waiting for my ITA -na sa tingin ko e mga last quarter this year pa siguro darating bilang 60pointer lng ako.

I really hope though na mg.work for you guys yung mga tips ko knina. Yung POSITION ng MIC nyo talaga unahin nyo bago ang lahat... Now I'll be relying on my first take na score, yun na talaga yun parang hindi ko na malampasan yung score ko dati.. 🙁(

@hopeful_mea ano ba dapat positioning nung mic? ano ung gamit mo na position sa recent exam mo?

hopeful_mea

@kymme @redmartrichard masyadong mataas ang mic ko nitong recent exam ko. looking back now, i knew something was not right sa mic i should have listened sa instincts ko. yung first exam nsa in between ng mouth and chin..gnun dapat, wla msyadong hangin na na.capture nun.

pinoycoder

@hopeful_mea nice thanks sa tips. buti nalang sinabi mo, nag ppractice din ako now dito, eh medyo sablay din mic ko (cheap logitech headset), try ko sana bilin yung gold kit pero ayusin ko muna equipments para mas accurate yung result sa speaking.

morena89

I agree positioning nang mic importante talaga. 4 to 5 mins siguro ako nag mic test bago nag simula. Inadjust adjust ko xa. Mga 9 volume din siguro yung mic ko. 10 ata pinakamataas na volume. Ako pinakalast nag start nang exam kasi sa mic test ko, sobra natagalan ako dun. Nasa left side yung mic ko, harap lang xa nang lips ko. Nung nilayo ko yung mic mga 2 to 3 inches ayaw malayo ang ginawa ko nilakasan ko nalang yung volume ko sa mic.

pinoycoder

@hopeful_mea okay nga theory mo, between mouth and chin, kasi pag nasa tapat ng mouth "baka" my tendency na madetect yung noise sa breathing.

pinoycoder

eto siguro pinaka ideal?

kymme

@morena89 panu lakasan boses ng mic? kasi ung sakin sa naririnig lang na audio lang nalalakasan. sa mic wala.

kate27

@jedh_g take mo yun test b cguro pag practisado mo na un speaking template mo to see if your style in speaking is working.

kate27

@jedh_g true, agahan mo to avoid unnecessary stress. and sana dun ka ma assign sa solo seat. maganda kase dun di masyado maingay kase nasa room. and un signature sa passport dapat magaya mo sa actual, ako kase dati nastress kase di ko magaya un sarili ko na signature sa passport kase compressed un sa passport sobrang liit.
