Hi po. Ask ko lang kasi nung magbook ako ng PTE, tinick ko yung send to DIBP yung result kaya lang di naman umabot yung score ko kahit sa 10pts. ok lang ba na masend sa kanila yun?

Tapos if magbook ako ulit, need ba i-tick ko ulit yun o wag muna kasi di ako sure if papasa na ako next take? If pumasa naman ako, pano ko isesend sa kanila yung score ko if di ko sya tinick nung nagbook ako? Thanks po sa sasagot.

@mikaela07 Hello, Okay lang kahit na tick mo.

Next take mo, pede mo wag muna i-tick. Pag nakuha mo na desired scores mo, saka mo manual i-send scores.

@MLBS congrats!!!

I wanna share details sa test ko since gusto ko rin makatulong sa inyo.
1. sa read aloud, I spoke really fast. As in wala pa sa kalahati yung progress bar minsan nagnenext item na ako agad. As in mabilis guys, I feel na slang na ung iba kong words and I thought na di na sya mareregister na napronounce ko ng maayos
2. Sa repeat sentence I did the same thing. Dito ko napatunayan na sobra sobra ang items sa PTE, kasi I messed up 2 sentences sa repeat sentences, 2 questions sa answer short question. I pressed next agad once I finished speaking
3. Sa describe image naman, I used templates ni sir @heprex. Nothing else. Nag stumble pa nga ako sa ibang items kasi I was forcing myself to say something related sa image kahit minsan mahirap magrelate ng content due to time pressure. Just say the highest and lowest figs, etc. 30-35 secs ako nagsasalita cause I wanted to be sure e haha.
4. Sa writing din templates ni sir heprex ginamit ko. This helped a lot kasi this will save you a lot of time thinking of your essay structure. I've been doing this for a long time and guys - mema lang ako sa essays. My question is about the usefuleness of television and how it can be a companionship for the lonely. Sabi ko lang na harmful ang tv dahil sa gamma rays at di sya pwedeng substitute sa real person haha. Just maintain good grammar and spelling. 293 words halos natype ko
5. Sa summarize written texts, summarize lang talaga ginawa ko. I copied whole phrases sa passages, and I'll find synonyms nalang sa ilang words to add points to my vocab. I think the least I wrote was 35 words, and the most was 65.

Sa reading and listening, achievable yun kasi objective type of test e. Fresh pa kasi ako from my IELTS exam back in june so medyo hasa pa ako. Confidence is key sa PTE guys. And sa speaking talaga wag kayo magpadistract haha mind you I kept checking my mic just to waste time to have a feel kung pano magsalita kasabayan ng iba

I'll check my ptepractice account for my voice recordings and essays. I'll link em to my signature later kasi sobrang lala ng globe ang bagal ng internet namen

All the best guys!

Sa mga taga singapore, may available slot pa po ba this october to take the exam? Paano po ba natin malalaman if what date is available? Thank you

MLBS

@mikaela07 Thanks po! Slightly below nose level kasi iniwasan ko na mapick up ng mic yung pag inhale ko sa bibig e. Habit ko kasi na take a deep breath before speaking haha
