    @vanessajoy Payment sa tcyonline is via Paypal lang. You can pay via credit through the Paypal website kahit walang Paypal account.

    Regarding yung minimum specs nila - best kasi to take the practice tests using their software pero pwede din namang online. Try mo muna with their free sample tests kung ok. Sa kin kasi di ko magawa yung speaking ng maayos w/o using their software.

    Tingin ko di naman siguro na di mo maaccess yung mock test nila pero it's possible na magkaroon ng performance issues yung software (i.e. mabagal, etc.)

    Hello All! Just received my test scores from last March 3 and I got 90 in all sections. I don't actively participate in this forum but I wanted to share what I know as I got a lot of tips from here that were very effective!! :) Thanks for all your help!!!

    I initially took IELTS but found my writing score frustrating so I decided to take PTE-A instead. I think it's a better test and it's fairer as it checks for your mastery of English as a language and not your creative writing skills (IELTS checkers, in my opinion, check more of the content of your essay than the grammar, form, etc.).

    Sharing some tips from my end! Good luck to those taking the test soon! :D

    SPEAKING

    You will be in a room full of people talking loudly at the same time so remember that when you're practicing. I imagined that I was in a train/bus talking to someone else (in this case, my exam machine) to drown out the voices of my "classmates".

    Repeat Sentence - I found this section difficult but it helps to write key words while listening to the sentence. If you forget some of the words, just go on a say what you remember. I forgot a couple of words in this section but still got perfect marks so I think knowing the gist of the sentence counts for something :) Fluency is a point here so remember that throughout the speaking part.

    Describe Image - You can use the template for this section. Describe what the image is and the highest and lowest points. Avoid using fillers in this section (Umm, ahh) and just keep on talking. Again, fluency is important here. Also, I only used the Macmillan and offline test reviewers so I was surprised to see a pyramid in the test! When I started reviewing for PTE-A, I really found this section difficult but it helps to practice out loud! The key here is to get comfortable describing what's in front of you.

    Re-tell lecture - The items from the test were easier than what's in the Macmillan reviewer. Focus on the main point of the script and try to use synonyms for the terms you hear.

    WRITING

    For writing, be mindful of your spelling, punctuation marks and word count. If you check the score guide, spelling and form (word count) make up a huge chunk of your score. Keep it simple and avoid compound/run on sentences. It's not really an essay writing contest. Use the normal templates like intro-supp1-supp2-conclusion.



    Also, the tips from this page are good:

    Hello guys! I took the exam yesterday (Take 1) and got the results this evening. I'm very happy to announce that I've passed the exam. :)

    Back story lang.. plan ko talaga mag-take ng exam nun January but during Xmas holidays, nagkasakit ako and what's worst, nagkaubo ako and namaos for the whole month. Tapos nagbook ako via online nun Feb 6 and super dami na pala test takers ng PTE compared to last year. Ang earliest schedule na available na lang was March 7 tapos 2pm lang. So I grabbed the chance habang may available slots pa.

    As a way of giving back, magpo-post ako ng mga tips and references na ginamit ko while preparing for the exam. To all the future test takers, goodluck! Kayang-kaya nyo yan!

    @siena101 tama si @Ozlaz. This may have something to do with your mic. Anong mic gamit mo? ako kasi iphone headset mic gamit ko - inayos ko sya para malapit sya sa mouth ko pagnagsasalita. Otherwise, mahina yung kuha nga and yun yung posibleng dahilan kung bkit mababa yung speaking scores mo.
    Another thing to consider is kung mahina ka ba magsalita? Ako kasi likas na mahina boses ko so kinailangan kong mag effort na magproject na boses. :) sana makatulong. :)

    @dorbsdee pre, hindi ko na inaral ung McMillan at Kennedy na materials this time around. Binigyan nila ako ng access sa isang software na may mga sample exams na sobrang hirap, doon lang ako nag-focus talaga, sinagot ko lang lahat ng makakaya ko. Never ako bumalik kay McMillan at Kennedy notes.

    @dorbsdee sa reading ang style ko is inuuna ko basa ang questions saka na ang paragraphs pra 1 quick look lng alam mo na saang part ang need mo basahin ng buo. Tas sa fill in the blanks binabasa ko muna ng buo without thinking or looking at the blanks. Once u get the feel of the attitude/position of the writer,saka na isaisahin ang blanks.
