@Heprex better ba bumili ng voucher? Ano ba ang advantage? Kung sakaling mag-purchase kami ng voucher, after that i-book na sa Peasron VUE ba yun, tama ba yung process ko? Salamat ng marami!

Heprex

@rai102302 mas mura kase ang voucher sa AECC. compare sa standard price sa Pearson, na iconvert mo sa peso.

rai102302

Thank you @Heprex! Sige bili muna ko ng voucher then key in ko yung code sa Pearson

rai102302

@Heprex pasensya na...may follow up question pa ko. Kailangan ba i-tick yung sa consent to allocate score to DIBP?

Heprex

@rai102302 depende po sayo. Kung gusto mo automatic send scores, tick mo yan, whether you got your desired scores or not. Kung hindi mo naman tick, you can send it manually if satisfy ka na sa scores mo.

Exam memories: Konti lang naalala ko sana makatulong

Sa Summarize Spoke Text: Yung tungkol kay Typhoid Mary, yung origin ng term na yun...buti me nabasa ako dati so familiar sakin ang topic..

Sa Write Essay: "Most pressing problem the world is facing and possible solution"
Sagot ko is Global Warming/Climate change, and most effective solution for me persistent lobbying and electing responsible and caring leaders

Sa lahat ng writing sections, I made sure to write up to the maximum...Twineak ko lang yung ibang sentence if sumobra...

Patulong naman mga sir Mam 3 times na po ako nag try ng PTE pero ni minsan hnd pa umabot score ko sa 65 kahit saan LRWS laging 50 to 64 lang OF ko po is 19 ano po ba dapat kong gawin para magaya ko naman score nyo kahit 65 lang sa lahat...patulong naman po

ceasarkho

@PinoyUAE, don't worry may solution sa probs mo.
1. Study what subskills are being tested by PTE.
2. "Divide and Conquer"
3. I suggest, prioritize Writing and Speaking, then Listening and Reading.
4. Pick the right study materials. Few suggestions;
- Writing: Study the IELTS approach in writing ESSAY. The IELTS has an in-depth and clear explanation how to write intro/body/conclusion. All fits into PTE objective. In addition, SWT, SST, and Re-tell lecture, E2 Language videos are very effective. After all these, it will be easy to apply either template or impromptu. In my 5th take, perfect ko na ang Writing, although my Essay total words were 215 only.
- Speaking: Memorize the template by heart. You can check Heprex signature for that template for Describe Image and others. The secret here is to master the Oral Fluency and Pronunciation in order to achieve a high score. Nung last take ko, my sipon ako ang ubo kaya na apektuhan score, hind ko na perfect compare to my last 2nd-4th take.
- Reading: E2 Language videos. Read newspaper or Science Daily website with a purpose on different topics. For example, know what is the topic/main idea/supporting/key points/conclusion, writers tone/purpose of writing/style of writing(cause>effect, describe, problem>solution). Sa last take ko, from 69 to 84 na.
- Listening: E2 Language videos. Listen to BBC podcasts, academic lectures. The same thing like Reading, know what is topic/main idea/key points/conclusion. Study "signposting", it will help you to capture the relevant information. Last score ko dito was 75. Matindi na focus need to during exam at of course practice to train your focus.

Mock test lng nang mock test. It truly reflects your score sa actual.
Mahirap pagsabayin ang pag review, trabaho, family. Anyway, my solution tayo. No pain no gain.

Hope it helps. God bless.

@Heprex @Supersaiyan @ceasarkho @warfrekk

Salamat!

ceasarkho

@rail02302, do more practice na lng po and make sure aware kayo sa objectives ng bwat task. Effective book ang "PTE-A Practice Tests Plus w/ key" to learn from examples.

1st time nyo po pa mg take? If yes, take note nyo mga strategies nyo pra ma assess ny if correct or not once lumabas na result ng exam. In this way, every exam may matutunan na what are the correct strategies.

PinoyUAE

mga sir mga mam ung ung po bang template sa writing ni steven fernandez pwede po ba un kahit hnd advantages at disadvantages ung hinihingi, or meron pa po bang ibang template para sa ibang topic

Heprex

@rai102302 improve your reading comprehension with time limit. Pra sa reading socres, madali masagutan yun pag naintindihan.

rai102302

Thank you @Heprex @ceasarkho

Actually scores yan nung partner ko. Medyo nakulangan nga sa oras kasi nasanay kami sa practice tests (YouTube) na timed. Then sa Speaking, mistakenly na-click ng na-click yung next and na-miss lahat nung Read Aloud na part.

May nabasa ako about E2 Pronounce na app kaso when I read reviews, medyo hindi maganda. Have you tried it? Otherwise, meron ba kayong ma-recommend na other apps to use? Medyo crunch time na kasi...

@ceasarkho yung ni-recommend mo na book, san ko pwede i-purchase? Yung PTE Gold ba pare-parehas lang ng set of questions yung A&B? May ma-recommend pa ba kayo na mock test resources?

Salamat ulit!

ClmOptimist

Hello po.

Nag Mock Test A ako kagabi and hindi maganda ung results.
Hihingi po sana ako ng tips bakit sobrang baba ng pronunciation ko? Tapos ung Writing 70 lang kahit 90 ung Writing Discourse? Ibig sabihin ba may mali sa pagsagot ko sa prompt? feeling ko sa Summarize Written Text ung problem ko dito. Any tips po?

Ung sa Reading and Listening, tanggap ko ung scores kasi nahirapan din talaga ko dun.

Salamat po sa mga sasagot.
Happy New Year sa lahat!

joycegf

@bcondepascua why po change of migration plan? Are there unovercomed difficulties?

Heprex

@ClmOptimist I believe written discourse if for Essay lang. madaming nakaka apekto sa Writing score, hindi lang essay, like WFD, FITB-Reading and Writing, SST, atbp. Better review the PTE scoring guide sa pearson site para kuha mo kung ano ang mataas magbigay na question type. Sa pronunciation mo naman, I believe it has something to do with the quality of mic mo during exam. or the clarity.
