Just taken my PTE-A yesterday at Pearson Vue Trident Tower. Thanks God I was able to get more than my target score. I was able to get 90 on all skills.
I didn't expect din to get such scores kasi madami akong sablay sa repeat sentence. I also was cut on one of my retell lecture.
Ang tip ko lang sa speaking, tuloy tuloy lang magsalita wag magstop to maintain your OF. Sa read aloud ko, I followed Heprex's recommendation of speaking at a fast pace but with the consideration that your pronunciation is clear para mabasa ni computer.
I almost went below my essay at 203 words. Hinabol ko na lang in the end. Yung summarize written texts ko halos 27 words lang nagagawa ko.
As for listening, I suggest magtake down notes sa multiple choice multiple answer, single answer, highlight correct summary. Pagdating sa fill in the blanks consider nyo kapag malapit lang ung mga blanks sa statement and ung speed ng speaker when choosing kung magttype or magsusulat. I had one test wherein ang lapit ng mga blanks so I decided na magsulat para cguradong makuha ko.
For reading, meju kumonsumo ako ng time dito. Meju madali ung nasa exam compare sa mga sample practices.
I studied every weekend lang this month. Did practice more on speaking.
