@powmic23 Mejo tricky ung listening. madali sya, yes. pero complicated sya sagutan kaya don't underestimate Listening sa PTE. kelangan sa write from dictation, mabilis ka magtype kahit mali spelling. you'll have the chance yto correct naman before proceeding to next question. same sa missing word. type initials or abbreviations muna. Use can use tab key to move from one box to another. no need to use mouse. then summarize spoken text, ginawa ko, ni-list down ko lang mga important words. parang bullet form then arrow na lang kung connected sya sa isang idea na nabanggit. then pag gagawa ka na ng summary, use template. 🙂 ganito sa kin, "The lecturer confabulated about the....", "He expatiates that the......", "He also aforementioned....." ikaw na bahala how you'll connect the sentences para maging fluent pa din sya.
sa writing, make sure mabasa mo ung mga essays dito:

sobrang effective yan! instead na mag-alot ka pa ng time for formulating ideas, derecho ka na sa writing kasi may idea ka na how to answer it. more on word choices at grammar check na lang gagawin mo. No need to memorize mga essays na nandun sa link. make sure you get the idea and how will you answer it. in my experience, both essay question ko nanjan sa link so swabe na lang ung pagsagot ko hehe. pansin ko madalas lumabas ung essay about kay Einstein. yan din kasi ung essay question sa kin. haha
Sa summarize written text, make sure madami kang baon na academic words. ung summarize in one sentence, pwede ka gumamit ng malalalim na salita dun na kahit wala sa paragraph. para mas maging academic ung dating.
