    @hoel07 imo, kaya naman pumasa through self review plus yung tips na makukuha mo dito sa forum. Kung gusto mo ma familiarize sarili mo sa exam, bili ka lang nung gold test kit. But that's just my opinion. Ganun kasi ginawa ko nung first take ko, pero silver test kit at wala pa tong forum at that time. Target ko lang was to score equivalent to 6 ielts (pang temporary visa muna kako) hehe, pero I got over 70 in all components. Siguro kasi binabaan ko din expectation ko sa sarili ko kaya less stress. Relax lang during exam. Unfortunately, for accountants, kailangan na ng 79 in all bands in order to get an invite kaya yun na ang target ngayon.

    Also after nung 3rd take ko, I was able to avail a free review class in PTE. Sa tingin ko, depende din yan sa review center kung makakatulong sayo o hindi. Kasi yung iba, parang back to basics lang. Hindi nagbibigay ng tips how to score higher in PTE. After reading through this forum, mas madami tips na galing sa mga actual test taker. Hindi lang puro theory. ;)

    Hi @extrastrongbeer, sabay tayo nag exam kahapon. :)

    Took the exam yesterday at 9am tapos mga 8pm last night meron nang results. :) At last graduate na ako sa english test. Here are my scores:

    PTE-A 28-Mar-16:
    L-90; R-83; S-63; W-90 (I thought may problem system or sa mic bec hndi ko mtanggap ang score ko sa speaking)

    PTE-A 18-May-16:
    L L-90; R-75; S-52; W-90 (I hated PTE Speaking)

    Assessed my performance sa speaking, analyzed what's wrong and trained myself to the correct reading and speaking that the computer accepts. Finally,

    PTE-A 06-Jun-16:
    L-90; R-88; S-90; W-90 Overall: 90

    Sa speaking ko, from 52 to 90. That was a 38-point improvement. :) The struggle was real but hey, practice makes perfect. Literally. :)

    In fairness sa testing center kahapon (trident) hindi nagsisigawan mga test takers.

    Writing:
    This one is easy. Just follow the standard format in writing an essay: 4 paragraphs. 1st par: intro – rephrase the question, define the given (e.g. an computer is an electronic device that blah blah), introduce your argument. 2nd par: advantages/pros, 3rd par: disadvantages/cons. 4th par: summary of opinion

    Listening:
    Just focus. Multiple choices - write down all key points and imagine what the speaker is saying so that understanding the article and answering the questions will be easy.
    Highlight incorrect words – use the mouse cursor
    Write from dictation – just type, then correct the spelling of words before moving on to the next question

    Reading
    This needs practice, checking of the answers and understanding the logic of the answers. Use the macmillan reviewer, sobrang hirap ng mga tanong dun but remember na wag magmove on unless hindi naiintndhan ung mga sagot. Took me 5 nights (after work) para mamaster ung 4 tests sa reading and ung logic behind lalo na sa re-order paragraphs. (2-3 repititions, sa 2nd take ko ng tests nagkakamali prn ako).
    Practice speed reading, sa unang mga take ko nauubusan ako ng oras but on my last take may 10mins excess pa ako. What I did was every paragraph pansin ko nasa choices ung thought, either true or false lang. So every after paragraph hinahanap ko sa choices (ng mabilisan kasi mauubos ang time) and then madedetermine kng maeeliminate ung choice nay un or not. Usually kasi negation ng statement sa article ung nilalagay sa choices, pampalito. This needs practice. I took all the reorder paragraph sample questions na nakuha ko kasi eto tlg ung critical and for me mahirap mamaster. Then the time na natatama ko na almost all ng re-order Qs sa book ni Kelly N. on first reading, that’s the time nagging confident na ako sa reading.

    Speaking
    Most people struggle here. Here are my tips:
    1. Don’t shout. Speak in conversational manner just like kapag nkikipag usap in tagalog.
    2. The read aloud items are not declamation pieces, don’t read as if nagpeperform sa stage. That’s not conversational speaking. These are also not story-telling or oration sentences. Just read in a very relaxed manner. For girls, wag mahigh pitch and sumisigaw parang nasa palengke.
    3. Don’t stress every single word. Wag magbasa ng masyadong mabagal, again that’s not the natural way of speaking. Just read. Listen to the model answers nung software ng pte-a exam. Someone uploaded it here. I think si hunter_08 somewhere. Use that for practicing.
    4. Read aloud – pababa ung tono ng boses sa last words ng sentences (except for questions – pero very rare ito). wag masyadong matagal sa stops pag comma lang lalo na pag nag eenumerate ng examples. Again, pababa ang tono ng boses sa pagbasa.
    5. Repeat sentence – focus. immitate the tone of the speaker
    6. Describe image – merely describe what you see. wag na masyadong mag isip wala nang time para dun. Read the title, describe what you see. Again, pababa ang tono ng boses in finishing a sentence.
    7. Re-tell lecture – take note of the key words and then speak naturally and spontaneously.
    8. Answer short questions – very straightforward, just answer the questions. :)
    For sample read aloud, please pm me your email address. :)

    hello everyone, sorry po sa mga nagmessage medyo mabagal ako magreply naflood ako ng messages. Para po maishare natin sa isa't isa ung concern ng bawat pinoyau-er, eto po ung link ng sample read aloud: http://vocaroo.com/i/s1FAyPtdOPBm -> please listen to the whole recording, ung first reading ay ung incorrect way of reading tapos ung second reading ay ung correct way.

    Here's another sample of reading: http://vocaroo.com/i/s0Y5Ob1reeFh --> ganito lang ata dapat, relaxed lang hndi masyado iniistress mga words

    also, eto po ung review materials na ginamit ko:
    - PTE Academic Testbuilder (Macmillan)
    - Kenny N. - PTE Academic Practice Tests Plus with Key - 2013
    - Mock Test Software --> strongly recommended! very realistic ung mga model answers sa speaking. ginaya ko lang sila. :)

    anyway eto po ung link ni @Hunter_08 where you can download these: https://www.dropbox.com/sh/rgjeqns1mpyhh88/AADFqk_2uTiFee6O6dkxRSgsa?dl=0
