Hello! Silent reader lang po ako on this forum for the past few weeks and received a lot of valuable info preparing for the exam.Took my PTE-A exams yesterday and thankfully received superior overall score

I would like to share my PTE experience because I understand the feeling of anxiety and pressure of preparing and taking this exam so I am hoping this might help others.

Feb 26: Booked my PTE-A exam (11k), Purchased E2 Language Basic Package (3.7k), Purchased PTE Practice Gold Kit (3.2k). In total, I spent around 18k.

Mar 6: Took mock exam A - Overall Score: 54 (L:61, R:55, S:35, W: 69). I took this exam to assess my current skills so I can determine my focus items (Reading and Speaking in my case)

Mar 7 - Mar 24:
- Studied E2 Language extensive methods video, very helpful tips and method structure
- Took the sample practice questions in E2 language
- Practiced in PTE app on my mobile phone kapag may free time, like waiting for food sa restaurant or commute on the way to work
- Spent around 3 hours a day practicing only 1 area (e.g. Mon is for Speaking, Tue for Writing).

Mar 25: Took mock exam B - Overall Score: 77, (L: 90 , R 71:, S: 64, W:90). I did this to assess my skills before I took the actual exam. For the next few days I spent my time practicing only Speaking and Reading.

Mar 28: Actual exam - Overall Score: 90 (L: 90, R: 90, S: 90, W: 90) .

Just let me know if you have questions, I'd like to help kasi nakakastress talaga preparing for this exam )

kareen

@drape grabe nakakaiyak! congrats! nakaka boost ng hope promise. nagtake ako ng mock test set 1 ito score ko L- 69 R- 55 Speaking - 77 W-68. Focus ako sa Reading kaso d ko na alam paano pa mag ppractice. huhu!

WingardiumLeviosa

@drape congratulations!

drape

@kareen thank you! For reading, I practiced the sample questions in E2 Language and PTE mobile app. Sa method naman, I just read and understand the whole text rather than skimming. Medyo time pressure nga lang. Although kapag continued practice naman eventually bibilis ka magbasa ng texts.

ginpo

@drape Wow! Congrats!

drape

thank you @ginpo and @WingardiumLeviosa !

kareen

@drape thank you. Today ka ba nag exam?

Supersaiyan

@drape, congrats po. Any tips po sa Listening tngin ko po doon ako nagkaka problem. Saka na perfect nyo po ba yung write from dictation sa listening part? Thanks po.

drape

@kareen yesterday, then this morning lang yung result. bilis nga eh

@Supersaiyan thanks! sa write from dictation sir I think may namiss ako na isa. Ginagawa ko dun is tinatype ko yung words as fast as possible kahit mali mali muna spelling sa una, then icocorrect ko na lang after nung dictation.

For listening, in general hindi na ko nagnonotes, pikit mata na lang at iniintindi ko na lang ng maayos yung sinasabi. Anong section ka ba sa listening nagkakaproblem sir?

Supersaiyan

@drape, thanks sa reply. Usually sa lahat ng take ko sa highlight correct summary, replaced beep saka yung mga multiple choices madalas ako nahihirapan parang andaming choices na tama kaya confusing. Tapos napansin ko nung last take ko laki ng binaba nung score ko sa listening at writing kasi nanghula ako ng isang item sa write from dictation kasi nasa 1 minute n lng remaining time with 1 item left tpos nakalimutan ko yung start nung sentence kaya hinulaan ko n lng. Laki ng impact ng write from dictation sa tingin ko both listening and writing.

drape

@Supersaiyan usually bro yun ang mahirap sa highlight correct summary. Kaya usually ginagawa ko elimination method. After mo mapakinggan at maintindihan yung lecture, isa-isahin mo na options, kapag meron dun contradicting sa napakinggan mo eliminate mo na agad para konti na lang pagpipilian mo.

sa write from dictation kung mabilis ka naman magtype, try mo na lang itype ang sasabihin rather than memorizing or actually writing it.

Supersaiyan

@drape, I see. Maraming salamat bro. GODbless.

kareen

@drape nakukuha mo ba 100% ung words sa WFD?

drape

@kareen More or less siguro at least 80% nakukuha naman. Also helps siguro na I do grammar check then spell check before proceeding to the next question.

Hello everyone! I just received my scores and I am very thankful to our Lord for giving me enough wisdom and courage to take my exam yesterday (2nd take). I am also very grateful to @jedh_g @hpizon @lexmeightan @69ersss @nomier for sharing their tips and review materials. Thanks din kay @Supersaiyan @batman madami din ako natutunan just by reading your response sa inquiry ng iba. And of course, sa pinaka-idol ko @Heprex , maraming salamat din sa tips at higit sa lahat, sa inspirasyon, napakalaking bagay sa akin nun. At sa lahat ng ng-share ng journey nila dito sa forum, madami ako napulot sa bawat isa sa inyo. Naka-graduate na ako sa PTE. Maraming salamat at napadaan ako sa discussion na ito. Masaya akong uuwi ng Pilipinas mamaya to be with my husband and kids to celebrate this wonderful blessing.

L/R/S/W - 90/85/85/90

I will share my experience later on.

@Kaye28 congrats!
