    hello po, been lurking silently. hehe
    question lang po for anybody who already took the PTE-A exam. I find the re-tell lecture difficult in the Mcmillan Practice test. Will the actual PTE-A exam be as difficult as given in mcmillan? Im not fast in jotting down notes.. huhu. should do more practice. but pls tell us how was the actual exam with regard to this section..

    THanks po, and Congratulations to all who passed this level! ^_^

    hi @shye428. taking down notes and practice lang talaga ang key sa re-tell lecture.

    in my case, dun sa isang re-tell lecture item sa akin, may kasamang picture (illustration) din kaya pwedeng describe mo na lang din yung image kung may image na naka display.

    ang technique ay yung pag note mo ng keywords or phrases not whole sentences.

    kaya mo yan :)

    Here's my results on Scored Test A:

    Overall Score - 64

    Skills Profile:

    Communicative Skills:
    Listening - 69
    Reading - 59
    Speaking - 60
    Writing - 69

    Enabling Skills:
    Grammar - 67
    Oral Fluency - 55
    Pronunciation - 44
    Spelling - 55
    Vocabulary - 85
    Written Discourse - 90

    It is now clear to me that I need to calm down during exams especially the speaking part. The nervousness got into me when the test has commenced. Thus, my intonation and pronunciation flunked because I lost my focus. I can do this. I am hoping to improve on my lowest skills to pull up my scores. I predict a 5 points margin of error for the result. :)

    @kristine_1377 @filipinacpa @KEM @cpa_oct2011 are you guys referring to the Real Aloud test? For that, I usually finish it in 20-25 seconds. Maybe that's why my grade is low because the pronunciation and intonation is sacrificed.
