@batman bro, sa speaking, just maintain normal conversational tone. and I think na less relevant ung content, kasi sa describe image ko, nag stick ako sa ganitong template:

Intro:
The graph illustrates/shows/manifests/represents "title of the graph"

Content:
The y-axis/vertical axis denotes the amount of _____ measured in _____
While the x-axis/horizontal axis denotes ______

Based on the data provided, the largest/highest sector was from _____ while the smallest/lowest portion was from _____

Conclusion (if you still have spare time):
The chart/graph/diagram was very accurate and concise which can be used as a reference for future studies with the same objective.

Salamat sa mga tips ng mga naunang nag take ng exam. struggle din ako sa pag describe ng image nung una. practice lang lagi, record your voice, and listen to it.

Try ko ung writing tips mo bro. aminado din ako na nakakatamad magbasa ng essay, pero ngaun na force ako basahin ung tips sa blog ni Dylan at writefix hehe

goodluck sa next exam!

Nag mock test ako just now.

R 61
S 52
W 74

Hahahahahaha. Kakaloka. Pano na ang pangarap kong all 79? Mas madali ang ielts!

Sa speaking, problem ko talaga ang describe image. Natataranta ko. Tapos mabilis pako magsalita. Sa reading naman lagi akong nahihirapan sa arrange para. Mag mock test b ako sa thurs. Hopefully mag improve ako.

Exam ko na sa Friday.

batman

@haunter08 thanks, actually ang struggle ko is the pronunciation mismo I tried recording myself at pinakingan. may mga words na di ko gets din sa sinsasabi ko hehe. though I discovered this new technique from you tube they call it shadowing. where in you are goin to mimic the speaker with what he is saying. I tried recording myself while doing it. and medyo clear na ang pronunciation ko. hopefully this will work in the actual.

batman

Asha

@alfa nagpurchase po ako ng gold kit sa pte. USD59.99 sya with 2 mock test pero may mas cheap. Yung silver kit nila pero 1 lang mock test.

batman

@Asha mataas sana writing mo pero nahatak ng written discourse at spelling. try mo improve yung mababang enabling skills mo makikita mo effect sa take 2 ng mock mo.

to improve spelling. correct as you write. we are used to Microsoft word that there is an auto correct. we tend to correct at the end of the writing but sometime we run out of time we no longer have chance to correct the errors. This is per my own experience.

coolhart

@jedh_g Thanks, received . God bless you more. Taking 4th time of IELTS hirap makuha ang target band grabe. Sana ito na sagot .

batman

@coolhart good luck! salute to your determination!

Asha

@batman waaah panic mode nako. Salamat sa tips. Di ako confident sa PTE kasi andami kong hindi gamay. Nahihirapan talaga ako. Pero may time pa naman to review. By Thurs mag mock test ulit Ako in prep for Friday's exam.

coolhart

@batman Thank you , Good luck to your take 2 exam. Ang PTE exam ba ay wrong minus correct and result?

batman

@Asha relax lang kaya mo yan.

@coolhart thank you din! only in reading part. in multiple choice questions multiple answer. ang correct minus wrong.

coolhart

@batman @ jedh_g Hi, can you please guide me, how to clear reading section as the time is too short Para jumbles and fill in the blanks section is hard to clear it out. Once the you loose the pace, whole section got disturbed.
While doing practice I can solve both sections but the time limitation is causing huge issue
is there any best way to crack

@Asha hi. un isang mock test lang ang kinuha ko at try kona sya later hehe. konting praktis pa at makukuha dn ntin yan. goodluck sa Friday. Sa Thursday nman ako. balitaan mko ha

bourne

hi @Asha, kailan ka nagstart nagreview or practice ng pte?

bourne

@greatsoul , nagback read ka na po ba sa thread? maraming tips sa thread na to lalo na sa unang mga pages. Ganun ginawa ko, halos binasa ko lahat ng pages sa thread na to. hehe..

Asha

@bourne nung 21 lang. Hahaha. So bale halos 1 week lang review ko.

jedh_g

@Sufian.Tariq well expose yourself with lots of practice test. There is no assured formula on this beside practice and exposure to the test format. If you got email address, I can help you by sending test materials. Good luck!

bourne

hehehe @Asha, kung 1 week lang, kulang talaga yan. 1 month ako nagreview. Pero nung last week ng review ko before ng exam, feeling ko hindi pa rin sapat. Pero salamat sa Diyos kasi ok naman result ko.

Yes, mahirap tignan at pag-aralan ang PTE. Overwhelming ang content. Pero once nakuha mo yung technique (i.e. using template sa describe image), mas dumadali sya.

I still recommend PTE over IELTS based sa experience ko lalo na sa Writing module. Yung speaking ko sa PTE, akala ko hindi papasa kasi dami kong palpak pero medyo mataas pa rin kaya nagulat ako.

Kaya yan, focus ka lang sa review. Good luck.

@jedh_g hi please also send to [email protected] thanks a lot!!

mrkanncpa

@Asha Halos ganyan din results ko nung unang mock test ko. Wala pa kasi talaga akong idea nun kasi wala din akong background kahit sa IELTS. Focus lang and give it time Anyway about sa speaking, make sure na maayos yung assessment nung website sa microphone na gamit mo. May part dyan na Test Your Computer diba, make sure na ang lalabas is "Acceptable" pag nag-mic test ka. Issue din yan kasi pag too loud and too soft yung recording sa mock exams. Best of luck!

Asha

@bourne @mrkanncpa salamat. Time is my enemy. Hahaha. But yeah, konting practice pa para mas mag improve. I still have 3 days to do that.

greatsoul

@bourne lumabas na mock exam A ko kanina. tama ka, yung sa speaking part, bat antaas mag score don? pero ayaw ko parin mag take for granted sa actual exam na. yung repeat sentence, wala ako gano nasagot, pero bat mataas parin? haha

actually yung listening at speaking ang problem ko, pero sa mock exam, sa reading ako may problema. kaloka. bat ganun

Asha

@alfa kamustang mock test mo?
