Hello po. Is it really advisable na bumili ng silver kit or gold kit?

@chococrinkle @Heprex @agd

Heprex

@lily_07 yes. Para matantya mo sarili mo sa actual exam. Pati scoring.

agd

@lily_07 yes po. dito mo malalaman kung san ka dapat magfocus sa review mo.

chococrinkle

@lily_07 yes din for me. You will know how ready you are if you take the mock test. :-)

@JapsRN thanks po and congrats! nung last take mo ba, nakuha mo yung lahat ng WFD? yung 3rd and last item kasi sa akin, sobrang hirap, parang ang sabi nya literal "abburburlshdla blah blah blah..." hahaha di mo talaga maintindihan ang bilis tapos ang haba dami nga nagsasabi na big factor ang WFD sa writing kahit na sa Listening sya

Hello Everyone,

Pahingi naman ng tips for speaking, I've taken mock test A & B, but my reading score is really low.

Sang items ang mataas ang contribution? kasama ba ang read aloud sa points sa reading?

TIA.

JapsRN

@michaelguanzon_ust thankyou! Yes fortunately nung last take ko di ako kinapos ng oras at mostly nakuha ko yung WFD. Focus lang talaga saka be mindful sa time. Hehe

Hi, sa PTE exam po ba for speaking part ano po yung tama after speaking click "next" or "pause" then "next" button? Ang weird lang kasi 10 ako both for oral fluency and pronunciation part :-(

pmond

Allowed din po ba ang Playback sa speaking part and allowed din po ba ang pen and paper?

gibo43

@pmond sa actual exam po eh click "next" button. alam ko walang "pause" dun kasi derecho lang yung exam exept dun sa optional break. wala ding playback option sa speaking part. you will be given a marker pen and notebook (plastic) to write your notes.

Hi sir @Heprex, sa Read Aloud section po ba pag natapos nyo na basahin pero di pa puno yung bar, ciniclick nyo yung Stop/Next, or iniintay niyo mapuno yung bar? Thanks in advance po. ^:)^

Heprex

@its.kc next item. possible na hindi tumigil yung recording dahil sa ingay ng surroundings.

PS: all of my tips are here: http://pinoyau.info/discussion/comment/257891/#Comment_257891

just in case di mo pa napapasadahan.

@Heprex @chococrinkle @agd thank you po ng madami

pmond

@gibo43 ahhh so for speaking yung playing of sound one time lang ?? :O

gibo43

@pmond sa lahat ng may audio, one time playback lang. kaya need mo magfocus. yung mga recordings mo, di mo na machecheck kung anong quality ang narecord. but don't worry, practice lang ng practice. i-download mo yung software ng PTE na may 3 sets of exam, helpful sya to practice the exam. if you can afford a review center or purchase gold/silver kit, do so para may guide ka.

pmond

@gibo43 Nice! nag gold kit ka ba?

pmond

@gibo43 ilang days ka nag practice?:)

gibo43

@pmond nagreview ako sa CEVAS for 10 sessions (every Saturday). So mga 2 months yun before ng exam. swerte lang, one week before ng exam date eh nasa travel yung boss ko, so 1 week nagrereview ako sa workplace then pag uwi review din. Hindi na ako nag avail ng gold kit, which I believe na fulfill naman ng review center.

@Heprex thank you, sir!

@pmond meron lang playback dun sa mic testing part before start ng exam. I remember hindi yun one time lang pero hindi rin naman unli. Use it to adjust your mic, saan yung position na clear at less puffs of air yung marerecord. It's recommended to hit next every after item kasi may tendency na mapick up ng mic mo yung sinasabi ng katabi mo which couldve affected your oral fluency and pronunciation.

For practice, pwede mo irecord yung sarili mo but impt na marecognize mo yung areas for improvement mo. Another way to assess your pronunciation is to try speech to text apps sa phone. Check mo kung narerecognize ka ni google or siri pag nagsalita ka.

@shyla20 I used Sennheiser PC Headset. I think meron nito sa Lazada.

pmond

Bring your own headset ba sa PTE Exam?
