    Guys do you think mas ok kung hindi American accent ang gagamitin sa speaking? Mas ok ba kung typical, natural Pinoy accent na lang? Mas magegets ba ng computer yun?

    Yung mga sample audio recording na dinownload ko sa mismong site ng PTE (offline test) very noticeable ang mga accents nila like Chinese, Indian etc. pero these were sample audio files provided by PTE.

    @FrenchMilk I think mas importante yung clarity ng pronunciation at fluency pagdating sa speaking, so I guess Pinoy accent should be okay as long as clear yung pagsasalita mo..

    help! huhuhu kausap ko ang PTE call center now. sabi sa kin once daw na I have answered YES don sa reportable scores it will automatically sent don sa pinili nating institution to receive it. pano yun? magkakaproblema ako once na magsend ako ng visa application. hindi magtatally yung record once na magclaim ako ng points. hayz! huhuhu. kinakabahan na ako e...

    Eto ang sagot sa kin: Unfortunately, once the score is send, it cannot be cancelled.

    Naka tanggap ka ng email na ganyan, ibig sabihin, na click mo na yung "Send Scores". Sinend mo yung scores kahit di pa available yung results?

    EDIT: Ahh you mean walang points sa immi. Ok lang yan kasi may Reference number ka naman ilalagay sa EOI. So yung pasadong test mo yung ilalagay mo sa EOI, yun ang tignan nila.

    Hi @bl_blitz pano ginawa mong review? Minsan kasi nakakawalang gana na yung paulit ulit. After kong maka 4times na exam nagpahinga muna ko. Pinag iisipan ko kung try ko mag PTE or IELTS. Reading and writing ko lagi sablay. Pag pasado sa reading, writing namn problema. Pag writing pasado reading naman bagsak. Sa Sg ka ba nag exam? Haiissst

    @itchard Oo nga eh. Yun nga rin sabi nung iba. Nakakaumay na IELTS. Share ko lang experience ko sa speaking test. Nung 3rd time ko same question and same person yung nag interview sakin. Wala ng challenge parang tinamad akong sumagot. Bumaba tuloy ng .5 score ko hehehe. Ano bang effective na review materials for PTE?
