    Took the exam yesterday!
    Mahirap sya since it is time pressured.

    Ako yung last na dumating at pagpasok ko madami na nagsstart. I didnt know kung tama ba posisyon ng mic ko since nung tinest ko medyo may buga ng hangin.

    But to my surprise ako yung unang natapos kinabahan tuloy ako kung tama ba ginawa ko. Basta right after I speak, I click next right away. Hindi ko tinatapos yung time.

    Just now, I received the scores and thank God I passed!

    Hi everyone, can somebody interpret the last two sentence in this Q? I've encountered this twice sa PTE Academic exam but still clueless ako kung anong sagot.

    Multiple Choice Multiple Answers: Turks and Caicos


    The Turks and Caicos Islands are a multi-island archipelago at the southern tip of the Bahamas chain, approximately 550 miles south-east of Florida. The islands are an overseas territory of the United Kingdom although they exercise a high degree of local political autonomy. The economy of the islands rests mainly on tourism, with some contribution from offshore banking and fishing.

    Primary schooling is divided into eight grades, with most pupils entering at the age of four years and leaving at twelve. After two kindergarten years, Grades 1-6 are covered by a graded curriculum in maths, language and science that increases in difficulty as pupils get older. There is little repetition and pupils are expected to progress through primary school in their age cohorts. At the end of primary schooling, pupils sit an examination that serves to stream them in the secondary setting. Primary and secondary school enrolment is virtually universal.

    There are a total of ten government primary schools on the islands. Of these, seven are large enough to organize pupils into single grade classrooms. Pupils in these schools are generally grouped by age into mixed-ability classes. The remaining three schools, because of their small pupil numbers, operate with multigrade groupings. They serve communities with small populations whose children cannot travel to a neighbouring larger primary school. Pupils in these classes span up to three grade and age groups.

    As far as classroom organization is concerned, the multigrade and monograde classrooms are similar in terms of the number of pupils and the general seating arrangements, with pupils in rows facing the blackboard. There is no evidence that the multigrade teachers operate in a particularly resource-poor environment in the Turks and Caicos Islands. This is in contract to studies conducted in other developing country contexts.

    Which is true about the last paragraph?
    __. Not correct choice - forgot
    __. Not correct choice - forgot
    __. Organization in both multigrade and monograde classroom is the same. – correct
    __. Multigrade teachers operate in a resource-poor environment. -- ??
    __. Studies in Turks and Caicos is better than that of the developing countries -- ??

    @smoothann1 roughly 1 month, I purchase the gold kit in PTE review. In Both practice test A and B I failed in speaking maybe because of the headphones that I used. But on the actual test I got 83.

    @garfield @tobby The mock is more difficult than the actual exam. They purposely do that so that the test takers are prepared for the actual exam. I got R67 and W77 for the mock exam. Don't feel too bad about the mock. Just keep practicing. Sobrang helpful din yung advice sa Page 98 and 166 of this thread.
