    Thanks @tmpvalerio @Kaye28 for the PTE tips and syempre kay sir @Heprex for the templates. Proven effective kasi lagi ako 90 sa speaking. Lol.

    Finally, I achieved superior na on my third take!

    Communicative Skills
    Listening 86
    Reading 83
    Speaking 90
    Writing 86

    Enabling Skills
    Grammar 83
    Oral Fluency 90
    Pronunciation 90
    Spelling 66
    Written Vocabulary 90
    Written Discourse 88

    For Listening, madali lang to. Just focus sa WFD. Make sure u get eveything.

    Reading - Tip ko lang read kayo halos everyday ng articles and if may word kayo na ndi alam, search nyo agad meaning para mawiden vocabulary

    Speaking - just use sir heprex’ template

    Writing - sa third take lang ako gumamit ng template and I used E2 Language. Also I have a compilation ng mga lumalabas na questions sa essay for this year. Sa first 2 takes ko 71 and 77 ako.. so important talaga practice. Try to write kahit once a week and use a template to save time :)

    PTE Writing Tips

    For writing essay I used E2 language format and applying what I learned from Ielts. Sa intro, sa 1st sentence ni restate ko lang yung question using my own words. Then sa 2nd sentence if one sided lang yung question, I give summary of the reasons ( 2 reasons only). Example, if ang essay is about importance of computers (one sided), eto 2nd sentence ko. Computers are valuable resources as they (1st reason) aid in learning and are (2nd reason) used to communicate with others. Then sa 3rd sentence sasabihin ko para pampahaba-- In this essay, I shall discuss my point of view by giving points and examples about the topic.

    Then sa 2nd paragraph, elaborate ko na ang 1St reason. Mga 2 sentences na magsupport sa 1st reason, like if yung 1st reason ko is aid in learning, expand ko ang topic by answering how computers aid in learning,etc. Usually yung reason mo convert mo by asking how, what, when, or who. Tapos sa 3rd sentence, I state examples. Pwede ka din mag add pa ng 4th sentence parang isummarize mo lang ang 2nd paragraph.

    Sa 3rd paragraph discuss naman ang 3rd reason same sa ginawa sa 2nd par.

    4Th paragraph 1st sentence conclusion, then 2nd sentence recommendation.

    If 2 sided naman yung intro pwede mo gamitin yung nasa template like kina Heprex na samples. Then yung 2nd par yung kabilang side, then yung 3rd paragraph yung other side. Tapos same last paragraph.

    If medyo nahihirapan ka sa mga ideas, research ka dito sa forum ng mga recent topics. Tapos based dun sa topic reasearch ka anong pwedeng maging points and reasons para may idea ka na ano ilalagay mo sa essay.

    Ang key talaga sa writing is dapat marami ka ideas. If nahihirapan ka mag construct ng idea try to research as much as possible. Google mo yung mga common or recent topics on pte writing tapos may mga sample questions dun,, then research mo ano possible answers para sa actual exam may idea kana ano isasagot. Tapos dpat familiarize mo mga connectors (like moreover, therefore, for instance, etc) kasi mas mataas ang grade kapag medyo complex ang sentence na ginagamit mo kesa simple sentences lang.

    For summarize written text strategy ko is to first get ano main topic. Then analyze what important points were given, may nangyari ba? If meron ano ang nangyari, kelan nangyari? ano at para kanino ang purpose? Usually kasi sa mga paragraphs naka detail lang pero yung point lang naman dun is parang dinedescribe lang yung main topic. If you can answer who/what, when, how and why about the topic pwede mo na pagdugtungin yung ideas mo thru connectors and form a sentence. If you will have multiple paragraphs, summarize mo muna per paragraph then summarize mo ulit lahat in one sentence

    Another tip also in writing as much as possible do not repeat the same words. If you dont have much stored knowledge about synonyms okay lang. Practice and Research is the key. Kaya malaki ang help sa akin yung pag research sa mga common or recent topics kasi while practicing pwede akong mghanap ng synonyms then mas madali ko syang ma recall sa actual exam kasi nagawa ko na sya before. Tapos if meron kayong word na ma encounter na parang hirap kayo mag elaborate, google nyo din anong synonym or phrases na pwedeng same meaning ng word. Share ko yung nilista kong mga synonyms na possible na magagamit sa mga essay kasi minsan these are the topics commonly asked.

    @Kaye28 hello! Can you please send your materials to me too? Email is [email protected]
    Thank you in advance. :)

    Question @Kaye28 @batman @Supersaiyan : Took my PTE twice, 1st take 90 spelling, 2nd take 18 spelling. Member din ako ng E2 page on FB, so I get to see updates there too. I noticed recently, spelling of most test takers are below 20’s. Which is really frustrating. Clearly, you would know if how many items lang na misspell mo, right? In my case, 1st take I’m sure I misspelled 2-3 items, 2nd take I had no misspelled words. I’m that confident that’s why I’m so shocked when I saw the results. And to think perfect score 1st take. What possibly happened there?

    They say rescoring is not an option.
    In those PTE tests, I just had 56-58 SPEAKING. Based on OF and pronunciation scores of 50’s and 40’s respectively, it would prove why I got low scores on speaking. But I need help guys! Any suggestion on speaking section? I’m planning to take my 3rd on June. My scores on other subtests are not superior but ranging 70’s naman. Grammar 82, vocab 90, written discourse 70.

    Hi @shyf consistent din po akong mababa sa pronunciation scores (45 and 69) pero mataas sa oral fluency. i suggest be confident while speaking, don't hesitate and avoid fillers. kasi kahit mababa ako sa pronunciation, i was able to get 90 in speaking. practice shadowing din sa mga youtube videos to improve on repeat sentences.

    i also have a similar experience with you regarding spelling. super simple words na lang nagamit ko sa essays ko dahil mahirap nga yung topic and yet ang baba ng spelling ko. i'm speculating may kinalaman din sa content yung spelling, but i may be wrong.

    more practice po. kaya mo yan. good luck :)

    @Heprex thank you also, umakyat yung vocab and grammar ko on my second take because of your retell lecture and describe image templates. But my speaking score did not improve. Any tips?

    Di ko din actually natatapos yung template na sabihin on the actual exam kasi time constraint, lagging sa pag-iisip on what to say next. Enabling skills did improve except for of and pronunciation tho.

    You mean I’ll just repeat everything said on youtube for practice? Thank you very much, @chyrstheen :)

    Thanks to this page, I’m able to get better tips to somehow improve. I’m just hoping on my next take, I’d pass na.

    My friend btw (whom I can punch anytime), had 88-90 scores on SWRL. He did not review much, because he just had 2 days off prior to exam date. While I was the one who took a week off pero sablay pa din.
    :(( After exam, mas frustrated pa sya sakin which I understand kasi di sya prepared. Pero when the results are out, voila! Superior scores pa sya. Maybe smart lang talaga sya, kasi sa ielts nkaka 7 din sya in writing even without review, not to mention 8-8.5 on other subtests. Di ko muna sya friend ngyon til I heal myself. Joke! Hehe

    @shyf yup recently na experience ko yang mababang spelling na yan. May spelling ako na 18 lang pero 70+ and up yung scores ko lahat sa comm skills. Siguro may adjustments silang ginawa sa scoring ng spelling. I’m thinking na kpag out of context yung words and idea na ginamit mo sa writing tasks mukang may impact sa spelling scores but not so sure.

    Regarding sa speaking, may recorded speaking ako na naka score ng 89 nung nag mock exam ako. It covers all my speaking tasks from start (Read aloud) to end (Answer short question) kaya 12:39 minutes yun and usually di ko bini bida ito sa iba ksi nahihiya ako ksi mababa pronunciation ko but I managed to get 89 sa OF at 89 sa Speaking. Sinabi ko ngayon because just want to help and encourage you. Pm mo lng po ako and bigay ko po link ng recording ko sayo if you need. God bless po and trust Him always. :)
