@kendz_shelou thank you sa paganswer ng questions ko!
@Jedh_g thanks for sending the review materials. Ikaw nagsabi sa kin na Practice and focus and lastly pray!
@jella thanks for giving me great tips at pag send ng link ng pearson!
@liyah22 galingan mo! alam kong yakang yaka mo rin yan.
@filipinacpa Thank you for creating this thread. Ang dami mong natulungan! Isa na ko dun. Sobrang frustrated ako sa scores ko sa IELTS. 2 beses akong nagfail na makuha yung 7 all across bands. Aral ako ng aral. Maraming lakad na sinacrifice. Buti na lang nalaman ko ang PTE-A. I took the chance and studied every material possible. So after 7 mos. pasado na ko sa english exam. Mag momove -on na ko. Walang forever sa PTE-A!
All the glory to God for this blessing!
I realized how helpful is dylan's blog. Check niyo pa other posts nya.
http://dylanaung.blogspot.com/2015/04/pte-academic-essay-questions-and-ideas.html
read also tips and links na sinend ni jella, filipinac at ni jedh_g helpful din.
Maingay ang batch namin. I realized it's better if you arrive earlier or late so you can have a better chance of speaking in a quite environment. In other words, di kayo sabay2x sa speaking.
Use the 10mins break. It is a must so you will be refreshed for listening.
There are a lot of bar graphs in Describe image
Essay encountered: Who should be more responsible? Governments? Large corporations? individuals? 270/300 ang words used ko.
I will end with @jedh_g tips : PRAY.PRACTICE.FOCUS
