    Guys Thank you sa lahat ng tips! Sobra useful! Di ako marunong magtag pero thank you talaga!

    Sa speaking lang ang mapapayo ko katulad sabi iba gumawa ng speech template! Kahit na di related stick to your speech template! Medyo naging shy lang ako kasi iniisip ko naririnig katabi ko paulit ulit sinsabi ko hahahaha! Kaya i know i could have done better.kung di ako nahiya. Tapos make sure sa speech template mo academic words ginagamit mo like variables, correlation, and etc. Tapos smile when you speak, mas magiging maganda pagsalita mo believe me.

    Graduate na ako salamat sa Dios!

    Here's mine...for the describe image.

    1. Type of graph
    "This line graph, bar graph, pie chart, image .. shows".

    2. Title of the graph
    "The number of internet users in uk"

    3. Period
    "for the last 5 years (2010 to 2015)", "In the year 2012", "from year 2000 to 2003"

    4. Legend
    "for both sex", "for immigrants and non immigrants"

    5. Source
    "taken from the UK government website"

    6. Data ( highest)
    "As we can see that the highest number of internet users is on the year 2000, and that was approximately 3Million people". "The largest slice in the chart contributing to the total waste is from plastics which is 75%"

    7. Data (lowest)
    "whereas the lowest is on the year 2003, which is around 1Million"."surprisingly, the lowest portion is from electronic waste which is around 3%"

    8. Trend
    "The overall trend is increasing for the past 3 years (2000 to 2003)", "The number of internet users is directly proportional for the 3 period time frame", "The number of internet users is inversely proportional... "

    9. Others - colours, direction of the arrows(procedures)

    IMHO from the above items, enough na for the 40secs allotted time to speak.

    @kate27 - Actually, in my case reading ang weakness ko..hindi kasi ako palabasa eversince.. sa PTE reading, you must learn how to skim with faster comprehension.. during my 1st take, nagtagal ako masyado sa reading comprehension, in the end dko natapos lahat ng mga reading questions.. I got 64 score.. which is 1 point below sa desired kong score.. In my 2nd take, minadali ko naman.. natapos ko lahat ng questions pero madami akong mali.. I got 63 score.. In my 3rd take, katamtaman lang..I got a score of 70.. In addition sa mga sinabi nila, try the following tips.

    The idea here is only to read the passage once!!!..

    -Read and understand the question first.
    -Read briefly the choices. If you can eliminate at least 1 then it's good. if not, just briefly read
    -Then skim the passage and look for the possible answer.
    -Try using your finger or the mouse to navigate the passage. It's like underlining the words/sentence while you read. In this way, you can comprehend much better. Effective eto para sa akin.
    -Try putting the choices in the laminated pad.. not the whole words/sentence..siguro initials lang as long as you understand. Then put that pad next to the passage beside the screen monitor. Parang the old way of typing a passage in microsoft word. The idea here is not to look in the choices(which is below) multiple times while you read the passage...
    Example:
    Choice A: "Because it was given by the government" - Sa notes mo.. try only putting.. "because govt"
    - If you really cannot find the answer, just make a guess and move on.

    Gudluck :)

    @kymme para dun ba sa scored practice test?
    un experience ko dun sa libreng pte practice test, hindi gumana un mic ng headset sa first set. akala ko ganun talaga di narerecord un voice ko bilang libre lang naman un. pero nung second-3rd set narecord na. difference is, nagsound recorder check ako nun 2nd-3rd set before ako mag practice exam. hindi ko alam kung same problem tayo. ginawa ko lang was i recorded a few seconds of my voice using un sound recorder sa pc tapos i played it, gumana naman. tapos nag ok na din un recorder ng practice set na review ko na un response ko.

    Sa actual exam ba, can we test the headset before the exam like the test recording functionality sa pte practice site? para malaman kung too loud, soft or acceptable?

    Everyone, i'd been lurking this thread for a while, and i'd like to thank all of the contributors. Last October 02, i took the exam and got 90/90/90/90 for R/S/L/W! Nasurprise ako ng sobra kasi i'm not expecting to get perfect score but it turned out to be true, and finally nakuha ko after taking IELTS. Overall, para sa hindi pa nakaka take, mag PTE-A nalang kayo swear. IELTS is partly subjective so may chance pa for lower scores that you don't deserve. PTE is scored by computer so you can study and learn the techniques to get high scores! I purchased the Gold package too para ma familiarize sa types of exam plus scoring. For the 2 sample exams score ko is etween 70-80++, pero in reality, mas mataas sila magbigay. I only spent 2 weeks for review and ok naman..

    In return, I'm sharing my tips here:

    1. Do not be worried with the headset and mic. PTE-A Makati uses a high-end headset and lapat na lapat sa ears so you can really hear listening tasks well. As mentioned earlier, please make sure na un mic is on a 45degree angle.. so parang nasa side na pababa direction. make sure na malakas register ng boses niyo sa mic test before starting the speaking exam.
    2. For speaking test, lakasan yung boses and make sure na natural un flow ng words. I had some minor glitches pero i made sure na tuloy lang ako sa salita. It's true na marami ka makakasabay ( around 8 ata kami last october 02), pero focus lang ang kelangan. Wag mo pakinggan mga katabi mo macoconscious kalang. speak as if magisa kalang sa room. Sa describe the graph, tama naman earlier comments na start with telling what type of graph and title ng graph, tapos describe highest and lowest points, yung trend, and overall note. Minsan sa final sentence sinabi ko nalang the graph displays good summary.
    3.For reading, medyo malalim and nakakalito tlga words, pero you need to be mindful of the time. i budget niyo un time remaining sa # of questions remaining. For me eto pinakamahirap na part, pero you really cannot study it unless you read dictionary and use complex words everyday. context clues nalang ginamit ko dito para masense ano tamang isagot.
    4. For writing ielts style lang ginawa ko and ensured na may malalalim na words and wala masyadong umuulit na words. Saktong 300 words ginawa ko.
    5. For listening,madali lang. dun sa repeat the lecture, isulat mo lang yung important keywords, pero make sure na wala ka at least malilimutan na important keypoint sa sasabihin mo. Since computer magchecheck importante na un key topics in the talk have matching keywords sa answers mo.

    Goodluck to everyone!

    @coffe,
    Wow na wow ang score mo.

    1. Ilan nakukuha mo sa practice exam?
    2. Ano tips mabibigay mo sa reading

    Nag try kasi ako ng isang mock at ang baba ng nakuha ko

    Communicative Skills

    Listening 68
    Reading 50
    Speaking 45
    Writing 62

    Enabling Skills

    Grammar 83
    Oral Fluency 49
    Pronunciation 37
    Spelling 19
    Vocabulary 72
    Written Discourse 90

    Yung speaking eh baka di nakuha ng MIC yung ibang sinabi ko, medyo nautal din at mali ng ibang sagot sa short answer.

    Sa reading ko naman eh di ko natapos last 3 questions at per questions eh 4-5 items ata so talagang bumaba score ko

    Writing ko naman eh mali ata yung nasulat ko sa essay kasi yung Television nagawa kong capital T kahit nasa gitna ng sentence, baka wrong spelling na yun.

    Tips naman please, lalo sa reading yung reorder sentence at sa last part rin, mukhang malalalim kasi yung words hehehe
