Ito lang po yung mga unang pumasok sa isip ko sa tips na pwede kong ishare base on experience sa first attempt ko ng PTE-A , LRSW- 73,74,90,74.
I hope this would help.
Speaking
For read aloud, just read the paragraph in moderate pace, not too fast and not that slow, if you finished less than 40secs just click next.
For repeat sentence, just focus, so you could repeat exactly what the speaker says.
For describe image, use a template and fill it with the informations you see in the graph.
- The (pie chart/bar graph) is the graphical representation of a research entitled (Title of the graph). It is subdivided into ___ parts. The highest area was ______ and the lowest area was that of _______. Overall, the graph seems concise and accurate and can be used for further studies with the same topic.
For retell lecture, you can also use a template but I suggest you just listen to what the speaker says, take note of it, and make a brief and concise summary of what he says. It does NOT need to be a one sentence.
Answer short question
Just focus on what the question asks, usually they will just ask you of practical ones. If not, they are giving you two or three choices.
Listening
Multiple choice choose single answer
Highlight correct summary
Before you pick your answer, take note of the main points tackled in the lecture, so when you choose from the options, you will be able to eliminate those options that are obviously not what the speaker talks about. Some options are nearly close to the right answer, but it is not yet the answer. You have to be vigilant whether it is really the correct one.
Multiple choice choose multiple answers
Do not guess on this part. You do not want to lose points for wrong options. The pointing system is right minus wrong.
Know your synonyms and paraphrasing.
Reading
Fill in the blanks
Read and know collocations by heart, those words that usually come together. If a word is grammatically correct in fitting the sentence, that must be the right answer.
There are some available online practices in the internet, at http://www.bankersadda.com/p/english-close-test.html
Arrange paragraphs
Pick the sentence that can stand alone. It is then followed by a sentence related to it. Usually, what comes next is followed by Hence, Moreover and the like. But its not always the case.
In order to be a hustler in arranging paragraphs, you need to have a tough practice.
You can practice online at lofoya jumbled paragraphs. It can be seen in google.
Multiple choice choose single answer/multiple answers
Check what the question asks.Before looking at the options, skim the text. After that, you can look for main points and that would help you finding the right answer.
Writing
Summarize written text
Take note of the main ideas in the text. After that, you make a brief concise summary putting the main points in a detailed sentence, you dont have to make a 70 word maximum. In my case, I reached like 50 plus words.
Write an essay
Follow what the task description asks for.Make an argument if it demands for it. You have to have an introduction, body, and conclusion. You can make 4 paragraphs that need not to be more than 300 words.
- I hope this helps everyone. Those are just for some parts of the exam that I remember. Practice everyday, allot time for your practice if you know you are weak at something. You can purchase Pearson scored mock tests gold kit, that helped me a lot, my scores in the actual exam are mostly close to what I got in the scored mock tests.
I also practiced in Pearson Test of English- Academic books that I borrowed from the library here in Sydney. If you have resources to buy, you should and its recommended.
