@Liolaeus What do you think happened to your speaking?

Georgie335

@Liolaeus Makukuha mo na yan sa susunod! Tiwala lang hehe.

Sa Reading/Writing ba ang timer per each item, or isang timer sa buong module?

Hello! i took PTE-A last Aug 11, 2015, in Singapore.

Eto results ko:

L-90 R-90 S-90 W-90

i hope my tips would help:

the louder your voice, the clearer it will be recorded.
improve your typing skills. very useful sa listening questions. more advantage pag kaya mo magtype ng di nakatingin sa keyboard.
Try the mock/practice exam, like all others are recommending.
Sa essay writing, make sure use correct punctuation marks and grammar. And as much as possible, do not repeat words. Use synonyms.

@gelotronic wow congrats! Perfect!

gelotronic

thanks! mag PTE ka pala...basta dont forget, malakas na boses sa speaking. 1st part ng exam, speaking na agad .

parang videoke machine yan, mas malakas na boses at di pahinto -hinto, mas mataas na puntos. 🙂

Julian

@gelotronic Wow Congrats, How you do it?

gelotronic

@julian i just followed all the usual tips from here and expatforum.

and i think practice exam is a must.

what i did differently are:

i made sure my voice are well recorded by speaking loud. ako ang pinakamaingay sa exam room.
im into IT, so talagang advantageous na mabilis ako magtype kahit di nakitingin sa keyboard, kaya fully concentrated ako sa listening.

napansin ko lang din na 2hours ko tinapos ung exam, dere-derecho lang, di na ko nag-break. mabilis ko natapos ung mga multiple choice questions. i dont know kung may effect sa points pag tinapos ng mabilis.

hope this helps.

@gelotronic congratulations po. Question. Sa tingin mo po nasagutan mo lahat ng multiple choice ng tama? I mean you got perfect scores. So it means na walang mali? Im having difficulty sa pagmanage ng time ko sa pagsagot ng mga multiple choice lalo na pag unsure ako. Will it affect big time? O ang importante is you can talk fluently and write academically? Thank you.

Fault ko yung speaking, di ako nag prepare hehe. Dagdag na lang yung nakak distract na kasama sa test room.

Buong module na yun, kaya kinulang ako ng oras sa remaining questions kasi nag stay ako sa naunang mahirap.

Congrats @gelotronic! Ilalakas ko na boses ko next time. hehe

Georgie335

Is it possible na inext ung reading question tapos balikan kng may time pa?

Liolaeus

Nope, once lang daanan each question. After clicking next, no going back. Kelangan talaga mindful sa time per question. Check upper right section ng screen para makita yung remaining time. Sa first take ko, hindi naman ako kinulang ng oras, may 5 minutes remaining pa, mali talaga na nag stay ako ng matagal sa mahirap na question.

gelotronic

@smile0127 yep, almost all. Mga 2 questions di ako sigurado, ung technique ko dun e eliminate ung siguradong mali, then choose na lang yung pinakamalapit na mukhang tama hehe.

Lahat importante, balance dapat

gelotronic

@Liolaeus

Thanks! Importante di ka madistract ng katabi mo, kaya mas malakas boses mo dapat para di mo sila naririnig.

Nagfocus din ako sa emphasis ng mga key words, ug mga pauses sa mga commas, pati ung sa tono. Dapat pababa ung tono pag patapos na ung sentence. Parang news reporting ba.

Sa mga graphs, gumamit ng mga synonyms. Dont always use what is written in the graphs

Nagsisilbi kayong inspirasyon sa marami

filipinacpa

@inGodsTime i'm so glad kahit pano nakakatulong kami.. 🙂

@gelotronic congratulations!! please share your whole story and tips so I could also share it in the blog to inspire everyone who are aspiring to get their desired scores with PTE 🙂

filipinacpa

@smile0127 use a good headphone. pag wala kasi, macacapture at macacapture yung mga background noises. hence, it couldn't give you a more accurate scores then.

with regards to summarize written text, eto yung 1 sentence lang tama? short concise po definitely. then make sure to include all the key points of the passage in your sentence. i usually write 30-35 words in 1 sentence.

filipinacpa

@smile0127 in my case, yung two takes ko ng pte with bright, yung isang summarize written text is pareho and yung dalawa kong essay. Lol

So i suggest to research on the actual topics provided para may idea sa actual exam.. In reading essays naman is like you are hitting two birds with one stone because you also practice your reading skills here kaya wala mawawala kung magbabasa rin ng ibang sample essays.. 🙂

then make sure to follow ielts simon's structure.. same with writefix.. pare pareho lang naman sila.. make sure coherent ang flow ng essay..

@gelotronic with regards to speaking in a loud voice, I think I will have to agree with this. Soft voice kasi ako but since nasa house lang ako nag take during my practice exam, kaya medyo malakas talaga ang voice ko so siguro mas maganda ang capture ng computer sa boses unlike kung medyo mahina.. the thing is, diba naririnig mo rin sarili mo sa headset kapag nagsasalita ka..so baka mabingi rin ako.. hehe.. pero i'll try it nextime.. thanks for the tip! 🙂
