I suggest to review muna nya yang macmillan, look for tips(back read) or google, be familiar with the exam.. Then try taking the mock exam which is available in PTE website.. kung medyo mababa ang result nya doon, review sya ulet to improve..
Goodluck..

I strongly suggest na i-take na agad yung PTE-A exam kung may chance na. Baka kasi magkaron ng changes ang AU immigration sa requirements sa scoring anytime later this year or next year. November 2014 nung nag start tanggapin ng AU immigration yung PTE-A. Mag 1 year na next month.

Sabihin nating ganun na nga hehe. Challenge eh yung time, medyo natagalan ako sa unang part at madami pa pala question, ayun natapos ko naman siya pero guess nalang yung iba. Tapos yung sequence eh jumbled din, kala ko una multiple choice then last yung dropdown, pero nauna ang dropdown sakin.
@se29m
Yung template lang na naalala at nakita ko dito eh yung template sa speaking. Ok naman yung speaking ko, dapat talaga ibuka yung bibig, wag mahiya mag basa ng malakas, pero ok din di gaano malakas kasi ganun ginawa ko pero 85 pa rin kahit puro sablay yung answer short answer ko hehehe.

Pang exam lang po yung PTE2015 na promo.
