@monlim use the template that is always mentioned here and time yourself and make sure to provide 2-3 minutes for checking your essay.

argelflores

hirap ako sa write from dictation any tips?

Supersaiyan

@argelflores, practice po kayo ng WFD sa mga repeated items like ptestudy.com (if you're lucky, you can get that WFD item in actual PTE) tpos sulat nyo lng po mga abbrev. ng word habang nagdidictate tpos later on ska nyo po ayusin. God bless po.

@monlim if you find hard to construct your ideas, you start with researching first common topics for pte essays then generate ideas from there para you have a background na what to write. The key in writing especially for those na nahirapan mag compose is to research. Example, topics about importance of technology- write down 3 to 4 pros and cons. Madami kang makukuhang sample topics sa internet, and during the actual exam questions might be a little different pero you could atill incorporate your ideas into it. That was what I did and lahat ng mga maencounter ko na sample questions I do research first, do that in a couple of hours and madami ka na makukuhang ideas. I have a previous post about writing tips, hanapin ko lang then Ill post it here again. God bless you sa preps. :-)

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.

Akijo

Sabi po sa pte is within 5 business days and results, bakit kaya yong akin pang 5th day na ngaun wala pang results, lalo naman ako kinakabahan

Marites_47

Yep! Sana nga po. Listening po ako nhihirapan. Pde po ba sa RL, template lng and then kuha k lng ng isang keyword sa lecture like the speaker talked about climate change. In addition, he cited that this is not good.. Panay gnyan lng po super simple lng, enough b yan to get 79 sa listening? Yung iba po kasi super bilis di ko macapture yung sinasabi nila tpos n pla. Thanks po @Supersaiyan

batman

@Marites_47 in other part of the test Listening is being scored as well.

Akijo

@Marites_47 hello sis, ilang days mo po inantay bago na release ang results mo?

kayenzky

@Akijo Wala ka pong nareceive na email na available na yung score mo?

Marites_47

One day lang po. Pero last wik p po yan. Meron atang something kay pearson, madami pong di pa nkakarcvd ng scores nila dis wik. @Akijo

Supersaiyan

Yup, based sa mga nababasa ko sa ibang forums madami pang di nakaka received ng scores esp. yung nagtake on and before Aug 3. Sna maayos na nila yung issue. Yung iba sa knila nangangamba, bka daw nag update ng algorithm or may technical issue sa side nila.

Supersaiyan

@Marites_47 sorry po late reply, sa tngin ko po di pa po ako credible magbigay ng tips sa Listening. 76 lang po yung highest attained score ko po duon. Sana po malagpasan nten 79+ sa listening.

renly2328

totoo po ba na nagkaka-issue si PTE regarding sa pagrelease ng score report? sa mga nababasa ko thru FB page comments nila, marami po hindi pa nakakahuha ng results beyond dun sa 3-5 days.
Sino po dito nakaka-experience ng delay sa pag receive ng score report?
