    Planning to take this test also. Gaano po ba kalakas dapat ang boses para maintindihan ng computer ang boses para sa Speaking part? Puwede ba yung bordering on pasigaw na? Hehe..

    Medyo worried ako sa nangyari kay filipinacpa. It could be that it was indeed a glitch in the system.

    Bibigyan po ba kayo ng chance to test if the mic and the speaker are working?

    @filipinacpa, sa tingin mo, which part of the Speaking test was the hardest?

    Paano rin po pala ang checking ng test ng Speaking part. Is it entirely graded by the computer? Walang human intervention?

    My wife learned about PTE here last 2 weeks. Nagbasa lang ng PDF file galing sa reviewer na na-post dito. Inalam nya lang ung format then booked for an exam agad-agad last June 6. Received the result today and she was really shocked sa result. Gusto na nga nyang mag-sched ulit this coming Thursday e pero buti na lang pumasa at in favor samin ung result.

    L-72
    R-76
    S-76
    W-84

    Tip lang ng wife ko e dapat malakas boses mo magsalita at sound confident. Sabi nya mukhang hindi lahat ng items ang binigyan ng grade kasi madami daw siyang sablay lalo sa graphs as in feeling nya mali ung description nya sa analogy ng graphs pero may sinabi pa din siya.

    Halos 90 lahat scores sa enabling skills except vocabulary na 74 at oral fluency na 86.

    She took IELTS 2 years ago July 2013 at December 2023 at 6.5 lagi scoreung reading nya then the rest e 8 or 7.5. Tinamad na kasi nawalan na ng pag-asa but PTE turned the table for us.

    Waiting na lang kami ng invitation this coming Friday sana bale 65pts siya for 189 and 70 for 190 ng NSW. Expiration ng ACS namin e end of July 2015 kaya dapat ma-process na agad visa para hindi na siya magpa-reassess ulit.

    Hahaha pede naman daw kasi mag-isa lang siya nag-exam kaya confident siyang magsalita talaga plus mataas kasi confidence ng wife ko. Sisiw na daw ung PTE para sa mga nakapag-IELTS na.

    Nice. Ok nga yun mag isa ka lang dun sa room. Nakaka conscious kasi kung may kasama. Pero yun nga, confidence is really the key. Kahit may sablay ka na sa grammar or pronunciation, nadadala talaga ng confidence especially for the Speaking test.

    @itchard and @CPAofOz thanks, laking tulong at minus sa expenses.

    Kakatake ko lang ng exam at kagaya ng mga earlier post.

    kelangan ng full concentration, pag di cgurado or nagkamali, move on na agad sa next item at huwag na isipin dahil nga sa time.

    Hintay ko na lang ang result and sana pasado.

    Good luck!!

    @Liolaeus ano po ginawa nyo sa write from dictation parang super bilis nya sa reviewer eh. sa 4 sentences lahat kulang kulang sagot ko. malaking points ba yun? thanks po

    Eto medyo madali sakin kasi sanay ako mag type. Parang repeat sentence pero pwede mo balikan at i-re-write. Ang advise daw dito, wag na isulat yung mga vowels o kaya abbreviation lang ang i-type, parang txt spk siguro. Pero hindi ako sanay so kung di ko mabuo yung word, i-type ko lang kahit wrong spelling kasi nga pwede naman balikan. Basta make sure maalala mo yung word.
    Tip lang ng wife ko e dapat malakas boses mo magsalita at sound confident. Sabi nya mukhang hindi lahat ng items ang binigyan ng grade kasi madami daw siyang sablay lalo sa graphs as in feeling nya mali ung description nya sa analogy ng graphs pero may sinabi pa din siya.
    Ganyan din ako nun, dami ko palpak dyan sa describe image. Yun pa naman ang ni-review ko haha. Kaya kala ko fail na naman ako.

    @Liolaeus Wala ka pa din invite? May kasabay kang ng-lodge kasi at nakatanggap na daw siya ng June 5. Ang akala ko kasi e every 2nd and 4th Friday ng month.

    Anyways ayun buti na lang e naipasa mo na ung PTE na yan. Sana dati pa naimbento yan para d na nagsasayang tao ng pera sa IELTS.

    Ano yung points nya nung nag submit sya ng EOI? Ceiling na kasi yung nominated occupation ko sa VISA 189. Tapos sa 65 points and up lang yung prorated invitation nila nung May 8. So baka 65 and up din onwards.

    Salamat. Oo, sana nga dati ko pa kinuha. Laki na din nagastos ko sa mga retakes.

    @KEM
    Congrats pala! Taas ng scores mo, 20 points!

    Me mag eexam ba dto ng june 20?June 20 kasi ako hehe .Kinakabahan ako kasi wala ko masyado practice and considering na next week na un.
    Wag ka kabahan, basta isipin mo i-accomplish mo lang lahat ng tasks/questions. Di ako kinabahan sa PTE-A. Sa IELTS speaking ako kinabahan, yung feeling na jina-judge ka on the spot ng examiner. Naalala ko yung dalawang IELTS speaking exp ko, nag papatawa yung examiner sa mga gestures nya, nung about sa health/fitness yung topic, uma akting sya na mataba. Tas nung about communication yung topic, ngumu nguso sya tas kumikindat habang nag state ako ng opinion ko. Nakaka distract. Sa PTE-A, computer yung kausap, walang makikipag eye contact sayo or mag pakita ng g-gestures. hehe
    @Liolaeus Ayy yun ang dko alam. Sana ma-invite kami this Friday if meron or next week para dire-diretso na.
    Congrats din pala sa inyo, naka lagpas na misis mo sa english requirement. Tuloy tuloy na yan.

    Mcmillan din ang ginamit ko sa pag review. hanggang page 26 nga lang nabasa ko.

    magbasa ng mga sample essays at try din gumawa ng essay.

    Manood ng english news or movies na walang subtitle.

    Check nyo rin yung IELTS ryan pati IELTS simon = search sa youtube.

    Sa essay writing, kelangan lang na alam mo yung structure (intro, body, conclusion) at nasa required number of words ok na.

    Sa repeat sentence pati dictation = wag mag isip, makinig ka lang. di naman mahaba yung sentence.

    Summarize written text = get the main idea of the passage, usually sa intro at conclusion makikita, di mo na kelangan isama yung mga examples at same na nasa required number of words.

    @FrenchMilk: I think sa reading kasi sobrang binasa ko word per word. Yun last 4 questions na as in hula na lang kasi (2 minutes na lang natira sa kin). Tapos sa speaking nun nawala ako sa graphs nagtuloy tuloy na kasi iniisip kong mali na yun mga grammar ko. Kaya nasabi kong need ng presence of mind at all times. Yun writing naman sa essay ok sya for me kasi ang bilis lang magsulay unlike sa ielts. Medyo masyado lang me naging kampante yun summarize into 1 sentence medyo hindi ko minaximize yun 70words talaga (siguro max na yun 30-40 na sinulat ko). Sa listening medyo sisiw lang sya.

    IMO, PTE is more lenient in scoring and much more forgiving to mistakes than IELTS. I got an overall score of 90 even though i had tons of slip-ups. Don't get me wrong, the exam is not easy, the time pressure will get to you. Sa mga mag take pa lang , i suggest practice your pronunciation and make sure your spellings are correct , also,don't over think the questions too much. I just used the Macmillan testbuilder and bought the practice exam for my preparation. Don't waste your time (and money) taking IELTS :) . Good luck to everyone!
