Hi po! I have been reading this thread po for a long time. And nainspire nga po ako mgtake ng PTE. Actually, this morning lng po aka ngtake ng exam. And i received the result around 8pm tonight.

Sad to say, mababa po ung Speaking ko, my score is 53. While i got 66 for oral fluency, my pronunciation is 45. Any suggestions po on how to improve it po? I had tried the talktyper nrerecognize nmn nya po yung sinsabi ko. Anung factor p po kaya ang nkakaaffect dito?

@eun08 how was the content of your answers? If you think you did well, baka masyadong malapet at malakas boses mo to the point na d na sya na recognize. Based sa nabasa ko slow and clear ung mga nakakakuha ng mataas na points. How was your score sa ibang parts? Ung iba kasing question types, dalawang component ang gngrade.

@Zaire I scored 61 for listening then 74 and 75 for reading and writing respectively.

Medyo nahirapan ako s repeat sentence. Prang cguro mga 4 out of 7 lng un nkuha ko correctly. Then for describe image, ngpanic ako s ibang items, lalo n s maps and pie chart. Prang d ko msyado naorganize ung sasabihin ko.

Another thing is, dun s answer short question, late ko n nrealized n dapat nga pala hinhintay ko ung mic if recording n sya. So s repeat sentence ganun din ung ngyari. Malaki din b impact non?

Hindi ko kc tuloy malaman if mali b tlaga ung pronounce ko or dahil p dun s ibang factors kaya mababa sya.

Yes kung outside window ng recording ka nag salita, considered as no answer yun. Make sure your answer is recorded.

Repeat sentence hindi ko naman perfect. May mga words ako di nakuha pero tapusin mo pa din yung sentence with confidence.

@Liolaeus nbasa ko n nga yun dito dati, cguro s sobrang kaba and s takot n mkalimutan ko ung sasabihin, ngsasalita n ako agad..

Sayang. Compared p naman practice test mas mdali ang actual test.

Need to do more practice pa..

chapoy

Samnne

Hi guys. Habang binabasa ko mga posts I'm getting excited to take the PTE exam as well though I'm not familiar about it. Very encouraging kasi ang mga shared experiences ng mga members and with all the beautiful souls in the forum na handing tumulong.

Kung my nkakapgPhD sa IELTS, isa na ata ako dun. D ko na matandaan kung ilang beses nako ngtake. cguro nasa 6 na since 2007 and as always my isang section na tagilid so hoping na sa PTE ko naman makuha ang mark na kailangan ko.

I've booked an exam a month from now and I don't want to be aggressive at the same time too relaxed.

Just a question, are you actually allowed to book multiple exam? All the best everyone!

Julian

@Samnne we are not allowed to book multiple exam. We can only book immediately after taking the test and not satisfied with the result.

Samnne

Thanks Julian. Ibig sabihin nyan kelangan mahabang pacenxa sa pghihintay sa exam date. What's happening kasi is after a month or so na ang makukuhang booking. I guess its not surprising as PTE is getting more popular.

Julian

@Samnne where k b mag take ng exam? Dito sa pinas 2 before yun test center, pero now pearson makati n lang, 3 or 4 times a month ang sched pero minsan madali mapuno.

Hunter_08

@chapoy alam ko meron tlga silang free pero yng scored test yun ang alam kong may bayad....heheheh

Samnne

@Julian dto sa Sydney, dto 3 lang ang test centers kaya punuan na din halos. Malamang after ng exam ko sa Sept ang makuha kong booking eh December or next yr na. Hopefully hindi, wait, bakit ba super negative ako. Sana maipasa ko ng first take para d mako umulit. Sana lahat ng mg-eexam na makuha nila ang desired marks nila.

eun08

Question po, pag po ba retake s pte mas lower ang exam fee? Or same lng po?

Julian

@eun08 same fee lang. But if you want to avail of 10% discount, use promo code PTE2015.

eun08

@Julian oh i see. Ngbooked kc ako s Malaysia, the price is lower compare dito s SG. I paid in Malaysian Ringgit kc, if converted around sgd190+ sya, compare dito s SG i paid around 315sgd.

Mababa nga pala ung value ng myr against sgd ngayon, bka kaya ganon. Akala ko kc nung una mali ung npurchase ko or bk iba ung offer nila. Fully booked n kc dito s sg until november kaya try ko don. Thanks!

Urlilangel_christy

Good day.. ano suggested introduction ninyo for summarize spoken text. Thank you

shaynetot

Hi @filipinacpa! I've been reading this thread for a week now, and nainspire ako sa story mo. . I planned to take IELTS pero when I encountered this thread, parang mas strength ko ang computer-based exams. Sobrang daming info and tips napupulot ko dito, and it helps me a lot sa review time ko. Pwede po bang pasend sa personal email ko ung niload mong doc abt per module type ng lahat ng PTE-A questions? Hindi ko kasi madownload. Thank you so much in advance, and kudos sa lahat ng pumasa, or those who get the desired scores! All the best!

gelotronic

@kristine_1377 ang style ko sa reading, babasahin ko muna ung question, then babasahin ko ng buo na mabilisan yung essay/paragraph.

rondi

RMD

Hi po! Saang test center po kau sa Malaysia nag book? Appreciate your feedback sa test center nila if ever naka exam ka na. TIA

BreakEven

@RMD Done my test also sa KL. Dun ako nag take sa University of Sheffield. Oo tama si Julian na mas mura nga siya kesa dito sa SG mag exam. Daming slots available din dun kaya dun ako kumuha. Punuan din kasi dito sa SG.. During the exam naman, dalawa lang yung computer dun sa examination room kaya advantage din kasi di maingay. Goodluck!
