Hello po ask ko LNG kelangan ba talaga ma consume 40sec sa speaking describe image/retell led or OK LNG at least 30sec? Failed ako speaking 56 LNG score ko, nasa chin naman yun mic ko. May effect ba pag may colds ka nung exam Baka di accurate pronun ko or super sensitive computer Kaya ma affect quality of voice?

kokoc

Hello @janine0511 sa experience ko, i did not finish 40 secs sa describe image pero sa retell lecture naka 39 sec cgro ako tinitignan ko kasi yung bar kapag mga 1mm nalang natitira (tumatakbo yung bar dun) tinatapos ko na sentence sa retell lecture. then sa describe image, 35 secs nga natapos na ako pero di ko pa click next, hinihntay ko makita yung completed. Di ko binago yung speed ng pagsasalita ginaya ko way ng pagsasalita ko from read aloud.

no idea kung maka affect ba yung colds. Kasi that time I've got rhinitis (controlled) pero still got 87 sa speaking.

Hello peeps, sa PTE write essay. Ilang words normally ginagawa nyo? Do you go for more than 200? Or at least 120 words is okay na? Salamat sa makakasagot agad.

Stay within the boundaries. If 300 words is the maximum, try to reach 280. If 200/300 lang, mababa ang makukuha mo.

Exceeding the maximum will incur deductions. Nasa PTE scoring guide yun.. watch out.

Heprex

@rich88 Thanks, notes taken. I believed that it is the form of the essay which is being scored for its length. You get 0 for form, if you write below 120 words, and exceeds 300.. But, makakakuha ka ng 1pt sa form if more than 120-199, and get 2pts for form if 200-300. Diskarte ko na lang is to write at least 120, kung madame tlga ako idea sa topic, i might reach 200. Ayaw ko lang i sacrifice yung other scoring factor just to reach 200. Heheh

Sumabog ako sa repeat sentence dun sa mock test ko. Hahaha kulit ng utak ko sabing makinig at intindihin, ang nangyari, tinandaan lang unang part at di na inintindi. Haha

Any tips pala sa repeat sentence? Practice lang tlga? Or try to distinguish it by part to memorize?
Thanks ulit.

@Heprex try to memorize by phrase, usually nasa 3-4 phrase po, karamihan 3 phrase. mahirap na kasi pag apat na di ko rin nakukuha pag apat.

Heprex

@dorbsdee Thanks, will try.

@Heprex If you aim for 79+, need mo talaga i-exhaust yung 300 word limit. 280 - 300 will get you 79+. Pag 200/300 baka maapektuhan yung written discourse mo.

Repeat sentence: Don't memorize. Understand the main topic of the sentence and repeat it verbatim as much as possible. Hindi naman kelangan tlga 100% word for word (though mas ok if verbatim talaga) pero ang importante is yung mga key words, prepositions, conjuctions, at yung order nya ay tama.

Heprex

@rich88 Thanks ulit. Will take note of it

Jaehaerold

Try to watch english movies and shows na may accent, tapos every now and then gayahin mo ung mga sinasabi nila. Worked for me

Heprex

@Jaehaerold Thanks! any tips naman sa reading? lakas ng time pressure.

Question to all, mas mahirap ba talaga yung mock test? ahahah

Jaehaerold

@Heprex For reading, ang ginagawa ko mas una ko binabasa ung choices bago ung mismong passage. Saves so much time kasi once na mabasa mo ung thought nung passage alam mo na kung ano ung sagot.

Hindi ako nag mock test so I cannot answer your second question.

@queencee Hello po. Ask ko lang kung saan ka sa Abu Dhabi nagtake ng PTE? sa UAE Academy ba? May iba pa bang location na pwede? kasi sa website UAE Academy lang ang available na location sa Abu Dhabi. Thanks in advance.

Gee

@Heprex pasado na rin po ba kayo sa pte?

Gee

@auitdreamer thank you po. Hindi naman po kelangan na sobrang bilis talaga magsalita? Kesa medyo mahirap po mag pronounce mabuti kapag mabilis.

Heprex

@Gee wala pa ako result, pero I doubt na maabot ko passing. Nagulat lang ako sa environment nung nag start na. Para kang nasa palengke na puro kano. ahahha

Jaehaerold

@dorbsdee

Isa lang ung essay ko e, eto ung topic.

1. Agree or disagree: Mass communications have greatly affected the way society functions both positively and negatively.

Ung ibang writing ko puro summarize the passage in one sentence na.

Jaehaerold

@Heprex Sa Trident ka ba nag-exam? Nung sched ko last week late ako nakarating mga 9:30am na, tahimik na lahat ako na lang nagsasalita. Got my results also in 11 hours exactly after the exam. Keep checking your e-mail baka meron na yan mamaya and makahabol ka pa sa December 21 na invitation round.

Heprex

@Jaehaerold Ou sa trident, tama ka, mas maganda pag late ng konti. Hinahanap ko pa lang kung sino yung na-late dito sa forum, ahahaha Ganyan gagawin ko next time. Kagulat as in yung situation na yun. Yung tipong di nag eend in 3 sec yung recording dapat. Todo testing pa naman ako ng mic.
