As promised i'll post yung strategies na ginamit ko sana makatulong hehe
Speaking and Writing
sa speaking ako medyo nahirapan kasi sa day ng exam I have sorethroat and colds and I was feeling feverish but still pumunta ako sa exam, inisip ko na lang sayang yung exam fee. lowest score ko dito pronunciation kasi nahirapan talaga ako magsalita that day.
Read Aloud - you have 40 secs to read aloud yung passage wag magmadali just read in a normal pace.
Repeat sentence - Sa review and mock test ko I tried yung mag takenotes while listening pero hindi effective saken lalo lang ako nahirapan. kung kaya nyo magtake notes while listening mas okay. ako kasi i just listen and repeat whatever ang words na naalala ko.
Describe image - 40 secs din ang time dito to discuss. I used yung templates na naipost dito sa forum. What i did here is intro ko lagi kung about what ang graph tapos sinabi ko din kung ano yung nasa x and y axis. emphasize the highest and lowest values or trend if line graph. While discussing be mindful din sa time, 2x yata hindi ko namalayan na tapos na pala yung 40 secs nagsasalita pa rin ako hehe.
Re-tell lecture - listen attentively while taking down notes tapos intindihin kung ano yung main topic. take down important key words sa topic.
Answer short question - general knowledge lang ito. I guess ito ang pinakamadali.
Summarize written text. - read first sentence and last sentence tapos scan na lang the remaining. allocate atleast 2-3 minutes of your time to review grammar and spelling.
Write Essay - yung format ng essay na ginamit ko parang sa ielts din. big help if you watch yung ryan ielts sa youtube.
Reading
Multiple choice - basahin muna ang question and choices then read the first and last sentence and do the skim and scan method. After reading, read carefully ang choices.
Re-order paragraphs - useful din ang skim and scan dito and be mindful sa transition words usually yan ang pang 2nd or 3rd sentence.
Fill in the blanks - medyo mahaba yung paragraph and you have to drag yung word or using drop down menu . Ang ginawa ko dito after answering i scan the whole paragraph and checked kung tama ba yung words na i chose.
Listening
Summarize spoken text - this one very impt to take notes, analyze what is the main point of the speaker. while typing the sentence be mindful sa time kasi 10 mins lang ang time allocated. Again check grammar and spelling.
Multiple choice - hindi agad magstart ang audio so may time ka to read the question and listen attentively sa audio and while listening look at the choices and click it right away kapag narinig mo.
Fill in the blanks - while listening dapat word by word mo din sinusundan ng tingin ang paragraph and you have to type fast, nevermind na lang muna ang wrong spelling kahit puro shortcut lang ang itype and then tsaka mo na icorrect kapag tapos na yung audio.
Highlight correct summary - what I did here hindi ako nag take notes but instead while listening i try to look at the words sa choices, ang napansin ko kapag binabanggit ang key words medyo tumataas ang tone ng voice.
Select missing word - ang strategy dito read sa screen what the topic is all about and listen carefully. If mabilis kayo mag takedown notes big help yun.
Highlight incorrect words - this is much easier than fill in the blanks pero kailangan pakinggan ng mabuti and be mindful sa intonation ng voice.
Write from dictation - you have to type fast. wag muna intindihin ang grammar and spelling you'll have time to correct this.
so yun lang guys sana may maitulong ako sa mga mag mage-exam pa lang, btw mcmillan ang ginamit ko na reviewer.
basta think positive, pray before going to the test center and feel confident na makakapasa ka.
