Yes through Paypal lang. Anong package balak mo?
Don't forget to download their software on your pc/laptop. Mas madaling magtest using it. Although after taking the test, submit pa rin ng software sa website yung answers mo for analysis. Tapos dun mo sa website, makita stats ng test mo at kung san ka nagkamali/tama

i fond tcyonline more difficult sa actual exam and yung repeat sentences nila ang haba talga kaya pagsit sa exam, madali lang actual.

@auitdreamer @dorbsdee Maraming Salamat sa inyo. The best agent talaga si pinoyau.

@auitdreamer yung may isang mocktest. 45$. hahaha balak ko gamitin lahat ng mock exam ko a week before ng exam. para sanay na sanay sa format. ahahaha

dorbsdee

@Heprex goodluck bro... yung basic pack lang kinuha ko. nalilito pa ako sa website kung paano gamayin.. hehehehe.

auitdreamer

@Heprex Medyo iba lang ng slight yung tests sa tcy ah? Nanibago kasi ako ng kaunti nung nagmock exam ako. Nasanay kasi ako sa tcy na laging may recorded na nagbabasa ng instructions before every question. Dun sa actual wala. Tapos walang "beep" bago magstart recording sa Repeat Sentence. I would recommend to do at least 1 PTE mock scored exam (from PTE website) para lang di ka magulat. Hehehe!

@auitdreamer thanks for the tip

Hi guys, just want to thank you all sa mga contributions nyo. Sobrang helpful po tlaga. 1st take ko ng PTE nung Monday, sobrang saya kasi di ko po talaga ineexpect na papasa ako lalo na sobrang nahirapan ako sa mock test tas limited time lang kasi ako nakapag review.

Magreretake pa po ulet ako need ko kasi at least 79 sa lahat ng category para umabot ng 60points. Sana makabawi na po ako next take. Need more practice talaga lalo na sa retell lecture, dun talaga ako pinaka nahirapan.. tas sa writing naman, nagkamali ako na hindi ko narecheck lahat ng spelling. nag-panic kasi ako sa oras

Important po pala talaga na may "noisy crowd background music" while ngrereview and practice, kasi isa yun sa mga major challenges sa actual test. Lahat pala talaga ng kasama mo sa room maririnig mo. Eto po yung noisy background music na pinapracticehan ko:

@franchelle1001 Hi! I finally made a recording. I got the paragraph from Science Daily.

Climate change is already altering the environment. Long-lived ecosystems such as forests are particularly vulnerable to the comparatively rapid changes in the climate system. A new international study published this week in "Nature Climate Change" shows that damage from wind, bark beetles, and wildfires has increased drastically in Europe's forests in recent years.

My tips for Read aloud would be to take note of phrasing especially when there are commas. Remember that your tone should go up (parang patanong) at the end of phrases and go down at the end of sentences. Enunciate!

Medyo mahina lang recording ko kasi di ko nalapit yung mic ng headset but remember to also speak confidently.

Have you downloaded their software for PTE? That's what I use for the tests. Tapos dun sa mismong website, I just always go to PTE under Categories

@bailey kaunting kaunti na lang kulang mo para sa goal mo na 79! For sure kayang kaya mo yan sa next take.
Baka lang makatulong - Ginamit ko yung tips and template from ieltsadvantge.com (task 2) para sa writing and I practiced alloting max 2-5 mins for planning my essay (very important), 10 minutes for writing and then 5 minutes to review for cohesion, grammar and spelling.

@bailey

Regarding background noise, akala ko noise cancelling yung headphones?

Gusto ko lang makakuha ng idea sa background noise sa actual testing center - umaabot ba sa point na yung background noise, mas malakas pa kaysa sa nagsasalitang recording (for Repeat sentence exam) o di kaya e, nakaka-interfere na sa thought-process habang nag-gagawa ka ng essay o nagsa-summarize ng text?

Gaya nung youtube background video na nilagay mo sa post mo, ang practice na ginagawa ko, 100% yung volume nung mismong computer ko pero yung youtube background noise video, around 25 - 40% volume lang habang nagte-take ng practice exams (kumbaga ginagaya/inaanticipate ko yung pwedeng mangyari sa actual). Mas malakas pa ba don dapat yung background noise?

Salamat.

I made a recording that I shared here din yesterday. Sana makatulong @Skye24 @inGodsTime

@pakjo Regarding sa background noise, swertihan talaga cguro sa mga makakasabay mo at makakatabi mo. Try to get there as early as you can para sana ikaw mauna at mapunta dun sa separate room. Also if you're early, minsan pinapastart na nila kahit hindi pa kumpleto at wala pang 9am. Ako nun, natapos na ako sa Speaking nung nagdatingan na yung marami sa mga magtake ng exam.
Just focus and concentrate lang kasi di mo talaga maiiwasang marinig yung mga katabi mo.

pakjo

@auitdreamer

Anong number yung room na separate?

Plano ko sana mag-exam ng 12pm o 3pm. Mas advisable ba 'yung 9AM slot kung gusto ko tumiyempo na konti lang kasabay ko in case magsimula na sila na hindi pa kumpleto?

Saka may nagba-barge ba sa room para magpapasok ng late examinees habang nasa kalagitnaan ka ng exams?

Salamat.
