jedh_g @engineer20 hey...still awaiting for the PTE exam result, as of this writing no results yet upon checking online on their website. Hopefully, my desired outcome would appear next. No expectation that big, just need to pass the mark. Kamusta ka na din?
ihsan21 @hannahmi Same tayo ng situation... Parang ang hirap mag review kase daming distractions. In our case it is a good distractions naman kase family. Kaso parang achievable pa rin ang 79 to all components. We just need something...... to achieve it.
hannahmi Waiting pa rin sa result, kumusta exam nyo @jedh_g & @markiemark? Pare pareho kaya tayo exam? Eto yung essay topic ko "Value added by travel in Education. Is travel a necessary component of education or not ?" Andun sya sa list ni dylan kaya lang walang corresponding essay sample. Mejo nashort ako sa time sa writing, di ko na na proof read and bitin yung concluding paragraph ko. Whatever the result is happy na din ako kasi na experience ko na yung actual exam, grabe lang ang dami ng describe image, naumay na ako sa sarili kong boses haha.
hannahmi @ihsan21 true, i'm currently pregnant pa kaya mejo mahirap pero dream, pray & believe lang dadating din tayo sa success. Goal ko lang muna is kahit 65 lang para makapagpasa na ng docs for assessment, im not so confident sa speaking, mababa kasi yung mock tests ko and wala naman akong na feel na improvement sa sarili ko during the actual exam lol.
jedh_g @hannahmi I think the same essay on education acquired online than traveling long distance on a university something like that argument. Sumobra pa nga ako sa word limit required and hopefully I ditched that essay part. Balitaan tayo sa scores natin...
engineer20 @jedh_g invitation round nga pala mamaya. ready mo na EOI mo para update na lang ng PTE scores pag nakahabol ang result.
dtrax @hannahmi aw swerte , hehe ako dalawa, natuyo utak ko eh, haha siguro yung mga nag tatake ng tuesday and thursday, isa lang essays then MWF dalawa essays, pero hula ko lang yun haha
hannahmi @dtrax Monday kami nag take, swerte swerte lang siguro hehe. Ako sa describe image natuyo ang utak, masyado nagasgas yung mga spiels na hinanda ko, parang walang katapusan na graphs and tables lol. Good thing about Saudi test center, 5 lang kami na nag take, mga ibang lahi kasabay ko pero yung receptionist is Pinay, she placed me sa medyo malayo ng konti sa ibang mga examiners 🙂
jedh_g @engineer20 hope so and I keep my fingers crossed until I pass this one...nag derecho ako agad sa agent ko pagkatapos at may abiso na sila to update my EOI for 189! Salamat sa encouraging words bro!
jedh_g @dtrax dalawa essays that I remembered. Good thing marami Ako bala vocabulary words and set of collocations. Mahigit 300 words ako per essay.
jedh_g @se29m hopefully nga sana. I am leaving my result in the hands of God. Di nya ako pababayaan in HIS perfect time. Keep you posted once positive na
allej @jedh_g more than 300 words talaga ung essays mo? Correct me if I'm wrong pero parang may deduction pag more than 300 words according dito: http://pearsonpte.com/manual-essay-scoring-guide/
jedh_g @jella yes I think if maximum score credit is 2, if lumampas sa 300 word limit, score credit shall be 1 point instead. Sana hindi naman maka effect largely sa over-all score ko. I think nasa 303-305 words umabot ang essay ko kasi it will affect my sentence cohesion as I reduce it when I tried sa actual exam.
engineer20 @jella may tolerance naman sa number of words na kulang sa 200 or sobra sa 300. mga +/- 10 worda ay tolerable pa. sobra din yata ako ng 4 words sa essay ko.
