Supersaiyan @ClmOptimist, sa tingin ko po ok sa JRooz or Niners, pero usually po yung sa tngin ko po na advantage ng mga review centers (IMHO) is that you can have a per session coaching kung san ka po mahina, pero in overall, yung mga strategies na tnuturo nila and yung mga materials na binibigay po nila parang nakikita ko dn po dito sa forum. Pero bottomline po, need more patience and practice sbi nga po ni British Council there is no substitute for that. 😉
rb111985 Hi @Supersaiyan I suggest to just memorize the templates by heart. Since memorize mo na din sya no need to write na. During the exam you don't have enough time to write the templates. Kasi once nagstart ka from Read Aloud e tuloy tuloy na yung exam. Others suggest to use the Read Aloud preparation time to write the templates which I think not a good idea kasi tendency is you will lose focus in Read Aloud. Take note Read Aloud contributes to your overall Speaking score, kung ma ACE mo to pedeng mahatak yung score mo kung mababa ka sa ibang speaking task. Just my two cents 🙂
chucky @MissOZdreamer @hyperdex based don sa essay template ok lang ba khit hnd na magbgay ng examples? Thanks
zeus09 s mga ng rereview check nyo hotshot24.com/pte-academic madaming sample with samples and explanations of answers pwedeng gmitin for self review
zeus09 @patrickcpacia baka lang kasi mababa ung score mo for the content if d m sinunod ung word limit
patrickcpacia Hi guys ask ko lang if alam nyo yung klase ng keyboard ang ginagamit sa exam center sa Makati? yung traditional keyboard ba na di-cable tapos malutong yung tunog? hehe Thanks! Also, anyone has more links of test banks kung saan pwede magpractice? Thanks again 🙂
cailynragsdepot Guys survey lang. Ano ginagamit nyong headset? Bumili ba kayo for PTE practice? Pansin ko kasi sa iphone earphones, although nakapag record ako, pero maingay yung background. Balak ko pa nmn bumili ng gold test kit.
archeam Hello! I'm new here.. Magtatanong lang.. effective ba yung template para describe image sa kahit anong graph? highest and lowest lang sasabihin? isang conclusion lang? Thank you sa sasagot...
bokz42 @cailynragsdepot yes good investment yung gold kit. Practice ka dun and apply yung mga tips na napagaralan mo. Try mo ding itake yung exam ona croweded place (sbux or kahit saang medyo distracting) makakatulong yun sa focus mo. I used yung headset ng s8 and yes medyo maingay pero i think hindi naman sya nakaapekto nung ng practice exam ako. Most likely na account na ng pte yung ganung scenario.
bokz42 @archeam hindi lang graph ang lumalabas, minsan merong map, buildings etc. Familiarize yourself with the examples found on youtube and dont forget, wag mag panic kung merong prinesent sayo na (graph/image/kahit ano). Merong nakapag sabi dito sa forums noon na hindi alam ng computer kung ano yung nakikita mo, basta derecho ka lang ng salita and wag mag hhesitate.
archeam Pero sa line/bar/graph/chart and table po ba effective yung template na posted dito? sa maps/images.. sabi nila just describe what you see daw eh.. hirap po kasi talaga ako sa describe image.. nablablank ako sa coconstruct ng sentences hahaha
bokz42 @archeam sorry pero hindi ako nag template talaga eh. Kasi mas nahihirapan ako pag meron akong mimememorize, tapos pag nakalimutan ko pa, mas lalong yare. What i did was to practice and pray and understand nung tips ni e2language.
archeam Sa speaking talaga ako kinakabahan... i tend to mumble.. ang hirap mag isip pag time pressured haha Anyways.. thanks sa reply.. hope maipasa ng 1 try -_-
