    @julian Kesa Po magbayad ako Ng $330 aud pag nagretake. Ok na yung $85 na additional fee. Basta by this one whole month magrereview ako Ng todo. Sa Melbourne Po ako magtatake. Mas mahal ata Ng konti yung exam fee dito kasi added tax pa.

    @kristine_1377 sa practice test, nag take down ako ng key words, mas lalo ako nalito. preferred ko mental, dahil maiintindihan ko din yung buong sentence, mas madali i-retell para sakin.
    try mo both, so you can assert which is better for you. cheers!

    @smile0127 yun setting sa discovery english parang call center. May divider each computer tapos okay naman kahit nadidinig ko un katabi ko na magsalita, enough na yun headset para ma bawasan un ingay. mabilis un phase ng exam. lalo sa reading, take note of your time para makapag adjust ka. Siguro kung bumili ka nung mock test mas makakatulong, kasi ako ang ginamit ko lang ng review materials is un mcmillan test builder saka un pearson app kaya medyo nag panic ako sa time management ko LOL.

    Hello guys, I took the exam awhile ago and here are my results:
    Listening: 83
    Reading: 81
    Speaking 71
    Writing: 82

    I want to thank you all here sa forum. Ang dami ko nakuhang tips. Feeling ko kanina hindi malakas yung boses ko habang nag speaking test; but, I am happy with the results. Twice na ko nag ielts lagi sabit sa speaking. The online mock exams helped me a lot lalo na sa pacing pero pansin ko iba yung timing sa actual exam, sa mock exams nka blocked time sya pro sa actual may sariling time un essay ska un summarize paragraph.

    I just took the practice test scored exam a.

    Ang weird lang ng score ko:

    Listening- 76
    Reading- 59
    Speaking- 42
    Writing- 84

    I know kelangan ko talaga ng improvement sa reading, pang academic talaga sya compared sa IELTS general na straightforward and easy lang.

    Pero sa speaking, bakit ganun? Nagsalita naman ako, Mahina ba masyado boses ko hahaha.

    Medyo maliit ang boses ko at soft spoken talaga ako. Okay lang bang pasigaw magsalita sa actual?

    Clinick q dn pala ung Next button before matapos ung timer or before mag auto stop. Will that matter? :(

    sumisikat na talaga ang PTE. ang dami na nagttake. Better to take as early as possible kesa later baka biglang hirapan nila ang scoring system.

    Ito ang avaible slots sa SG.:
    27 and 30 Aug
    6, 11 and 13 Sept
    Oct and Nov Fully book
    4 and 18 Dec
