@jerm_au16 hi. i had 2 PTEs and na trauma na ako

1st take: Took it Dec 8 ata un. January 2nd week ko na na receive ang results. I failed sa speaking.

2nd take: Ng take ako ng March. after 1 month ng email na error ang results ko and they asked me to book another exam, which is 1 month away pa ang next available kasi always full sa Perth. so i decided to have it refunded instead. na refund in 24 hours. took OET nalang.

kymme

@dorbsdee yes! i replied to her na. haha kaka trauma yun

jerm_au16

@kymme what gnyan katagal? OMG, sayang ung oras ng paghihintay. oo nga, nkakatrauma tlga yan. Is there a case n ginawan k ng Incident Report in any of these exams?

kymme

@jerm_au16 ano un incident report na gnwa sayo after exam? yung gnwa skain is the late release. after 5 days na wla pa, ginawan ako ng incident report. idk if its due to holidays kaya matagal. pro yung 2nd time sakin, matagal din kahit di holidays. and i hate their customer service. grrrrr. mas marunong p ako mg english. hahaha

@dorbsdee thank you!! Ginamit kong style yung sa IELTS since nasanay na din ako.

Intro - short intro + paraphrased topic then 2nd sentence yung viewpoint (agree/disagree)
Body 1 - Argument 1 (by using the A-nswer, R-eason, E-xample method)
Body 2 - Argument 2 (by using the A-nswer, R-eason, E-xample method)
Conclusion

wingleaf

Kris_New

2pe

@Kris_New padamay na rin po whatever template po yung nirerequest nila @ClmOptimist and @wingleaf. TIA.

ClmOptimist

@Kris_New, Describe Image and Re-Tell Lecture po. I read that you have different template for those.
For now kasi, dependent ako sa techniques ng e2Language.

Thank you.

Guys just took the 2 scored PTE mock test. Sinunod ko naman ung mga templates, advices sa SPEAKING. 1st take 59 tas 2nd naging 56.

Heprex

@bjsad214 ano enabling skills scores mo?

bjsad214

@Heprex naputol ung msg ko. Mahaba ung tinyoe ko eh. GR 82; OF 44; PR 45 SP 90; VO 87; WD 90

bjsad214

@Heprex feeling ko tlg ok nmn kasi sinunod ko nmn ung templates and advices, worry ko bka dhl ung normally speaking volume ko is too loud and recognition ng computer (kahit hndi ko nmn nilalapit ung mic sa bibig ko). Nakikita ko rin na naghihit ng red mark kung minsan ung voice bar.

bjsad214

@Heprex ngyon napapaisip ako kung dapat ko bng ibaba ung normal speaking voice ko sa actual o baka naman dahil lng sa gamit kong computer. Hmmm

Heprex

@bjsad214 tingin ko same tayo ng exp. Dahil yan sa gamit mong computer. Yung unang mock test ko is internal mic ng laptop ang gamit, so mababa.Yung next mock test ko, nanghiram ako apple earphones na may mic. Tumaas score ko from 56 to 71. Then sa actual exam, mas maganda ang mic, so naka 83 ako.

bjsad214

@Heprex pero bro ano gamit mo comp? Mac kasi ung saken, nagtetest mic ako normal speaking tone ko too loud daw kahit nakabagsak lang ung headset. Tas kapag hininaan ko na nagook na. Kaso un lang hndi aq 100% kung dhl nga ba tlga sa comp kaya iniisip ko kung anong timpla gagawin ko sa actual. Bukas na pa man din PTE ko.

bjsad214

@Heprex congrats bro amen sa 83 na speaking. Ano full scores mo bro and kelan u nagtake ng PTE.

bjsad214

@Heprex bro and speaking of mock test, para sau ano mag madali2x, ung mock PTE or ung actual? Salamat sa reply mu bro. God bless.

Heprex

@bjsad214 nasa signature ko yung scores. Pero in my own opinion, mas madali yung exam mismo, lalo na sa repeat sentence. Mas kayang imanage. Last december pa 1st take ko. 2nd take ako sa january 16, need maka superior eh.

As long as nakukuha ni siri or ni google mga salita mo. No need to worry. Best tip sa speaking is yung mic is nasa level ng nose. Test it sa actual exam until masatisfy ka at hindi marinig hinga mo. Kung feel mo tlga na sobrang lakas, then try to adjust. Godbless sa exam mo. Ganda ng score mo sa mock. Makukuha mo superior.

ginelgomez

Hello po. I am planning to take PTE this month. Ask ko lang po yung booking kung ilang weeks yung requirement before the actual exam? or pwede kahit 1 week before lang?
And ask ko lang din po kung sobrang dami po bang nageexam sa Makati?

Thank you and God bless to all of us.

Heprex

@ginelgomez hello, okay naman yung a week before mag book ng exam. Wag lang 3 days before ata. May late booking charge, mas mahal. Since isa lang ang exam center dito sa pinas, tingin ko marami tlga nag ttake.

misterV

Hi guys! I took the PTE Mock Test Set A (L78/R69/S76/W78). I was surprised na mababa ako sa Reading. I am aiming for 79 each. What do you suggest I do to improve this? And yung sa writing essay, I only wrote around 230 words each, do you think i'll get a higher score if I write a longer essay? Thank you!
