@JosephDaryllRN hello, written discourse is for essay lang ata as far as I remember. Madaming type of questions ang nakakaapekto ng writing scores, hindi lang essay. Sample is write from dictation, one point per correct word sya, contributes to both listening and writing scores. Also, pede din mataas ang written discourse pero malayo sa content. I think WD is about form ng essay mo. Not 100% sure dito. I suggest review mo scoring guide ni pte, google mo lang. Para malaman mo pano scoring.
Sa speaking, malaking factor ang OF(speed,pause) at pronunciation(clarity, less noise sa inhale exhale). Better test your mic, until comfortable ka. Baka may habit ka na hawakan ang mic, or sa earside. Parang may mga buttons sa side ng ear.
