Ma-share ko na din, laking tulong ng videos ni Jay ng e2language. Lalo na sa Write Essay, SWT, SST at R&W FIB.
Share ko rin yung experience ko sa exam day kahapon na baka makatulong sa mga future PTE takers.
1. Para i-kondisyon ko yung sarili ko sa pagbasa sa read aloud. Binasa ko ng malakas yung lahat ng mga instructions sa monitor ng PC bago i-start yung test. In that way, somehow, mabawasan yung kaba. Sa palagay ko kasi, pag nakuha na yung momentum sa read aloud, magtutuloy tuloy na sa ibang tests.
2. Mga 3-5 beses kung tinest yung mic ko. Napanood ko sa 1 youtube video, 1 paraan para matest kung sumasagap ng noise yung mic e paunahin mag read aloud mga katabe. Habang nag re-read aloud sila mag record. tapos pakingan kung nasagap ng mic.
3. Sa repeat sentence, 4 lang ata nakuha kong tama. Pero ang importante siguro, di tayo mag stutter at wag ulitin kung nagkamali kasi baka mag suffer yung oral fluency at grammar. At 1 pa, try naten tandaan yung unang 4 na words sa repeat sentence. Para sakin kasi, pag nakuha ko yung unang 4 na words, mas madali kong nasasabe yung mga kasunod.
4. Sa Describe Image kahapon, 2 ang lumabas na process/flowchart at 1 floor plan. kakaiba to sa mga pinractice ko. baka lumabas din sa inyo, kaya paghandaan din ninyo.
5. Sa Reading section, importante na i-manage naten time naten ng mabuti. Kung maaari, 2-2.5 mins lang tayo sa lahat ng tasks para mabigyan naten sapat na oras yung R&W FIB, na tingin ko nag contribute ng malaki sa Listening.
Sa ulit, maraming salamat sa mga tips and templates na shinare sa forum na to. Sobrang laking tulong.

Nagamit ko din mga methods ni Jay ng e2language. >-
Nkakapagpractice din ako dito na site: https://pteplus.com.au/
Though limited lang ang free questions, pero nakikita mo kung paano ung pag-grade ng computer sa spoken at written english mo.
Good luck to those who are still on their journey to Superior English!

Sa WE, eto lang yung sinunod kong structure (see attach, from e2language to). Para sakin mas madali yung e2 structure na to kasi d ko na kelangan masyado magisip. Kelangan lang i-restate lng yung mga sentences. Bago lang ako mag construct ng essay, nag buo na ko reason 1 at 2 at tig 1 example para i-back up yung reasons ko.
Sana makatulong. Good luck & God bless!

Suggestion din from e2language, try not to remember word for word, but by phrase, kasi may mga common phrases or group of words that always go together.
Also, try to understand and visualize para masabi mo cya ulit ng mas maayos.

I took my 3rd PTE exam last Nov 1, 2018 in Singapore. I took the 3rd exam since I need to get the 79+ in each section. The latest speaking score that I got was only 21, both the oral fluency and pronounciation is only 10. I find it weird since my last speaking scores are 63 & 69, the OF and pronounciation never got a mark of 10. The spelling mark is also another funny thing. I got only 62 but my previous two exams is 89 and 90. My written disclosure is only 62 but I wrote 257/300 words on essay, 64/70 words on SPT and 60/70 words (one sentence) for SWT. Although I got 73 on written.
In the middle of the exam, all PTE test taker's exam suddenly put on a halt, the exam itself completely closed and we don't know why, only desktop was dispalyed on the computer screen. There was an antivirus related message popped up and the admin installed something for a few minutes. They resume the exam by re-logging us again to PTE, it was the same procedure, only difference is that you'll start on where you left of.
I was on the reading section when that issue happened. My worry is maybe they didn't saved all my speaking test and half of reading test.
What do you think guys? Should I file re-score which will take 14 days?
