    @pinayinmelb hello. mababa din po ang speaking ko. ang problem sakin hindi ako confident magsalita. madaming pauses, uhmms and false starts/sentences.

    hindi ko alam kung may effect pero pag di ako sure sa sinasabi ko, nagiging question and tono ng sentence ko sa dulo. so instead na statement, nagiging question ang sentence.

    sa enabling skills, mababa ang oral fluency at written discourse ko.

    @pinayinmelb Did you ensure that you have a clear recording playback? Did you position your mic properly?

    Unsure po ako kung anong ibig sabihin ng 'clear'. When I tested the mic, I felt it was okay naman po. Naririnig ko naman ang boses ko pero i would say parang medyo malayo yung boses ko. Normal po ba yun? It was positioned a bit below my mouth, about 2 inches away.

    hello @jaceejoef... aware po ako about the pauses and ummms at false starts...Siguro out of the 12 describe image, 2 ang alangan ko. but the rest was okay. Sa retell lecture naman, 1 ang medyo hindi clear.

    Naka-ilang try ka na ng PTE?

    Hello guys, bago po ako sa thread na ito. I've been a silent follower for quite some time now. Si hubby ang primary applicant and I read this thread to help him with the tips. Recently we received his results and yung speaking medyo frustrating. Sabi kasi sa youtube tips na napanuod namin, dapat yung pag sabi ng sentence is per segment... pero sabi dito sa forum dapat tuloy tuloy. So I guess thats the reason why mababa sya sa fluency.. PTE Academic results L:82 R:80 S:66 W:86 :(

    We are aiming for 79+ per band for 189.

    Mag exam ulit this month end using solely mga tips dito sa thread. Hoping and praying to get our desired score na.

    Congratulations sa mga nakapasa na and sa mga nasa Australia na!
    Really inspiring stories. :)

    @DrAgKurt mostly dito is sariling sikap lang dahil sa gastos na babayadan sa agent. makikita mo sa signature/timeline nila. Halos lahat ng info ay nadito na at may mga handang tumulong. Punta ka lang sa tamang thread to get your answers. Like sa thread na to, its all about english assessment taken via PTE-A. :)

    MsVi said:

    @filipinacpa thanks! sa may Ortigas branch ako nagtake sa Tektite building.. @cinnamon20 wala gaano nageexam pa, yung 2 exam ko ako lang magisa sa exam center which is mas okay para di ka distracted sa ibang nagtatake..

    For me kasi mas mahirap ang exam format nya..for example ang speaking nila..you have to describe a graph in 40seconds..may mga 25secs ka to study the graph..then may part din na repeat sentence..uulitin mo yung sinabi ng recording, retell lecture - you'll hear a lecture then after 10secs you have to retell yung sinabi ng speaker..then yung short question - eto madali lang..in short time pressured and you have to think quickly..pero ang technique dito is just speak fluently and dpat tama ang grammar and as much as possible speak for atleast 35secs sa describe graph and retell lecture..based on my experience mukhang di masyado strict sa content ng sasabihin mo..

    Writing ang susunod..madali lang ito usually 2 items isusummarize mo ang isang article into one sentence..then the other one is essay 200-300 words ata in 20mins..tip here is correct grammar, spelling at syempre meet the number of word requirements.

    Reading, walang TFNG..medyo madali ito..mahirap lang na part yung arranging paragraphs..don't spend too much on the question kasi may allotted time dito..based sa experience ko, sobrang sakto ko lang natapos itong reading part..

    Listening, madali lang din ito..focus ang kailangan dito..

    I suggest practice using the Macmillan guide, nashare na ito ni @filipinacpa and take the online practice exam from PTE website...and most of all..pray! :)

    Goodluck everyone!

    @filipinacpa hello po, pwede po humingi nung nabanggit ni MsVi na Macmillan guide.salamat po

    Hello everyone! May suggestion b kayo kung saan makapractice ng repeat sentence? Kasi sa macmillan, youtube, pte practice, kelly, etc are pretty much exhausted na parang memorise ko na yung sentences kaya narerepeat ko nalang yung sentences. pero I think kapag sa exam iba yung sentences dun so baka di ko makuha. anyone who can suggest kung ano other sources of review for repeat sentence?
