Trainer's name is Ganesh Yirrinki. Here are my scores after signing up with him. It's online training by the way. I bet most would get it on their first attempt. He even evaluated my score card to know where I'm getting it wrong.
1st take L 74 R 90 S 90 W 84
2nd take L 78 R 90 S 90 W 78
3rd take L 80 R 85 S 90 W 81
My personal advise would be to spend money on training classes rather than experimenting it on your exams.
Please tell him Yasmin says Hi! if you speak to him

3PM exam ko pero 12:30 p.m. pumunta na ako sa Trident para makuha ko ung terminal#1. Dahil masyado akong excited pinabalik na lang ako ni manong guard ng 2pm at nakapwesto naman ako sa terminal#1.
Hindi naman ako kinabahan kasi naubos na yung kaba ko sa kakaisip before kung mahirap ba yung exam.
Sa speaking, tuloy tuloy lang ako magsalita. Ginamit ko ung conclusion template ni @Heprex sa Describe Image and Retell Lecture. Tolerable naman yung ingay sa loob ng room. Focused din ako sa repeat sentence though may mga sentences na half ng sentence lang yung narepeat ko ng tama. Madali lang yung answer short question like ano yung pinoproduce ng bees (honey) at ano ung sporting event na every 4 years ginaganap (Olympics).
Sa writing, 3 SWT and 1 essay nakuha ko. Yung isang SWT nakita ko sa Youtube before about 'cow and grass'. Yung essay about deduction of score for student's late work. Nakita ko rin yang essay na yan before sa YouTube.
Sa reading, focus lang sa pag analyze ng passages and may time limit ako per task. Ang priority ko yung RWFIB, FIB and Reorder. May naencounter akong question sa reorder na the same sa ptestudy.com about 'sick scientist'.
Sa listening, 2 SST(new) and 17 other items naman. Parang 20-22 minutes lang yung binigay for the 17 items. Hindi ko namalayan yung oras. Nawala sa isip ko na mag set ng time limit at magprioritize ng items dito. Nagbreak din kasi ako kaya nawala ako sa momentum. Natagalan ako sa highlight correct summary (3 items) kasi ang haba ng sentence per choices para i-analyze. Naubos ko pa yung notepad dahil todo ako mag notes nung listening ayun mga 1 minute din yung nawala sa akin nung kinausap ko ung invigilator at naghintay sa bagong notepad. Tapos may mga audio clip na inaabot ng 1min to 1.5mins kaya konte lang yung time para magsagot. Kailangan din hintayin matapos yung audio clip bago maka move sa next question. Few seconds na lang yung natira para masagutan ko yung WFD. Binilisan ko na lang sagutan ung 1st WFD and na cut na ako sa 2nd WFD. So, huwag masyado magtagal sa multiple choice, select missing word and highlight correct summary para umabot sa WFD na magbibigay sayo ng mataas na points. Need talaga mag allot ng 3 minutes for WFD para may time ka magrecall and magrevise ng sentence.
Ayun, time management is the key. I hope mareach mo yung target score mo and good luck!
