Bagong salta po Tips naman po on where to start. Anong pattern ang advisable? Reading>Listening>Writing>Speaking? o ang ginawa ng iba ay binase sa difficulty level? Pa-share naman po samin mga maguumpisa pa lang kung ano yung detailed stages ang ginawa nyo.

Maraming salamat po ">

familiarize yourself with the exam. Then review. nanood lang ako ng youtube to get tips and sample question and answer. check E2 language videos. it's very helpful. review on the bus or train or kopitiam para masanay ka sa mejo may maingay na surroundings kasi it can be annoying sa exam day kapag napakingan mo yun boses ng mga kasabay mo. got superior on my first take.

Guys, ask ko lang. Planning to take PTE pero bakit PTE academic lang ang nakikita ko. Kasi I've already took IELTS -General exam. May PTE General exam ba?

you'll need to take Pte academic for PR visa application purposes.

wnchitman

thanks kaidenMVH. Nasaan kaya testing centers dito sa Pinas?

fruitys

@wnchitman There's one testing center in Trident Tower at Makati. There's a new one in Cebu but I'm not sure where that is.

@iamnotfromriverdale I studied following the exam order: Speaking > Writing > Reading > Listening

Based on my experience, mas mababa yung scores ko sa mock exam. Maybe it depends on various factors during your mock exam such as microphone, internet connection, etc. Tsaka i think mas madali yung actual exam kaysa sa mock exam. Aim for superior, God bless on ur exam! :-bd

timtam88

hello all! Ask ko lang po kung meron senyo ang nag take ng mock exam then ang result ng lahat is okay except pronunciation and oral fluency, as in 10 lang score, meaning parang wala sila narecognize sa boses ko? i am just worried kasi i thought i did well. I don't know kung anong problem.

Meron po bang magttake ng PTE at the end of this month?

JoieStar

Mam @JoieStar . good PM ask ko lang po kung umabot kayo sa write from dictation?
These 2 test kasi are interrelated.

JosephDaryllRN

@MumVeng ako mam sa May 2

pangky_town

Hello guys... i noticed that the PTE Exam seems so difficult these days more difficult than my previous PTE takes... Any others who felt the same?

JoieStar

@JosephDaryllRN umabot nman po. natapos ko nman on time ung exam.

chyrstheen

@JoieStar kumusta po enabling skills nyo? san kayo nahirapan? ang naiisip ko po Summarize Spoken Text yung pwede magcontribute sa low listening and writing scores. try nyo po makinig ng iba ibang topic and accents, then practice everyday. kaya nyo po yan

chyrstheen

@pangky_town yung sakin po mas mahirap yung exam ko ngayong april kesa nung march. merong nakaka-alien na topic ako sa SWT tapos 2 essays. yung listening sets ko rin, puro non-native english speakers na very thick accents. sa describe image naman, mas complicated yung mga graphs, pero hindi pa rin kasing hirap nung mga nasa practice tests

MumVeng

@JosephDaryllRN good luck sa atin. Naghahanap sana ako ng kasabay. Hindi pa ako nagbbool pero kung meron sa end of April mageexam na ako. Sa totoo lang hindi pa ako prepared.

JoieStar

@chyrstheen yung Grammar, Vocabulary at Written Discourse ko almost nsa 60 lang. Sa SWT at Essay ako prang nahirapan. Gumamit po ba kau ng template sa essay?

chyrstheen

@JoieStar feeling po connected lahat ito. Ginamit ko po structure ng e2 language.

Essay
Paragraph 1
1st sentence: Rewrite main topic
2nd sentence: Rewrite arguments
3rd sentence: "This essay will discuss why (state which side are you on)"

Paragraph 2
1st sentence: Argument 1
2nd sentence: cite example of argument 1
3rd sentence: further elaborate example 1
4th sentence: connect example with first sentence of paragraph 2. use words such as thus, therefore, etc.

Paragraph 3
1st sentence: Argument 2
2nd sentence: cite example of argument 2
3rd sentence: further elaborate example 2
4th sentence: connect example with first sentence of paragraph 3. use words such as thus, therefore, etc.

Paragraph 4
1st sentence: rewrite main topic (must be different composition as sentence 1 of paragraph 1)
2nd sentence: summarize argument 1 and argument 2
3rd sentence: conclude, restate and emphasize your opinion

Tips:
- never write off-topic. intindihin maigi kung anong tinatanong ng essay and make use of examples to support your arguments
- use synonyms to boost vocabulary
- always connect the 4th sentences of your argument paragraphs to boost written discourse
- try to make at least 1 compound sentence each in paragraphs 2 and 3
- practice writing essays with timer
- familiarize yourself with the frequent PTE and IELTS essay topics. try nyo rin po magbasa ng mga sample answers para may idea kayo sa mga arguments
- practice lang para maenhance ang vocab and grammar

good luck po

JoieStar

@chyrstheen thanks po. need tlga more practice.

Based on my research about recent topics on Essay writing.

The university will deduct the student's score for late assignments, opinions OR Universities should penalize students for late submission of their work

In town and cities, the large shopping mall should replace the small local shop. Do you agree or disagree. OR small shops in towns and villages are closing and replaced by big stores. explain your opinion.

Should library use digital gadgets to provide information on different topices? pros and cons.

Supersaiyan

@pangky_town, yup, same feeling here. May nakuha akong item recently sa reading MCQ na 8 ang options nagulat ako at mejo time consuming ksi prang identical lahat ng sagot.

Bridge

@pangky_town agree parang mas mahirap exam this April. Nagretake din ako, feeling ko mas prepared ako this time kasi familiar na ko sa format ng exam, dun pa lang sa WFD at repeat sentence sa dami ng inaral ko at halos kinabisado feeling ko 1 lang lumabas at halos lahat more than 10 words. Sa essay ako medyo natuwa kasi mas madali.. pero the rest mas mahirap.. kung 1st take ko nakakuha ako ng 10pts itong 2nd take ko sa April hindi lang ako nawalan ng points, failing grades nakuha ko.. (

Pero lalaban pa rin tayo... sayang naman e.. Tiwala lang [-O<

kaaate

@JosephDaryllRN un last take ko 10 April yan exactly un essay question pero ganito yun pagka tanda ko sa prompt

In town and cities, the large shopping malls are replacing small shops.To which extent you agree with the positive impact of these large shopping malls.
