    @Ern naka agency ako. Bukas ko pa malalaman. Sana nga meron na. I know, mahal and Sayang sa pera talaga. Buti nga may voucher na. 8900 Lang, unang take ko ata 10k. Dollars chinarge sa card ko. Wag kang sumuko. Sayang naman. And try mo madaliin ng kaunti. Parang humihirap na yung process. Hirap na din sched ng PTE :)

    Hi @Ern sayang, ang taas na lahat ng scores mo, nadale lang sa reading. Anyway, share ko lang ung natutunan ko from E2Language regarding fill in the blanks (dropdown):

    To get the correct answer understand:
    1. Meaning - alamin ung idea nung whole text, from then, malalaman mo ung most applicable word sa choices.
    2. Word Choice - kahit puro synonyms ung choices, isa lang lang pinaka-appropriate answer dun.
    3. Word Pairs - ito, ung mga words na usually appears together, they call it "collocations".
    4. Grammar - sa choices, may noun, adjective, adverb etc. figure out anong part of speech ung hinihingi.

    Remember: Articles and Adjectives comes before the noun.

    Sana makatulong, goodluck sa next take. :)
