    @kymme buti ka nga pwede mo pagpratisan mga Aussie jan. Ako, wala. sariling sikap sa pag gauge ng speaking skills. haha. tapos pag uwi ko, teleserye pa aabutan ko. hahaha. wala akong BBC news exposure or partner sa review. I don't have those luxuries. hahaha.

    Tamang preparation lang tlga. Compared sa IELTS, mas maraming baon na english words sa PTE, mas mataas chance sa 79+. hahaha. kasi kahit listening part na, magagamit mo pa din mga baon mong academic words like sa summarize spoken text. Lalo sa speaking, mapapaghandaan mo tlga PTE. Uupo ka na lang, sasabihin mo ung script mo with feelings at mag aadlib kung kelangan. hahaha

    Goodluck! kaya yan :)

    @EAP unfortunately, based on EA website, hindi pa recognized ang PTE for assessment purposes.

    check mo ung last part >> https://www.engineersaustralia.org.au/FAQ/2217

    "Will you accept the TOEFL, or the Pearsons Test of English (PTE) in lieu of the IELTS

    No. For the Migration Skills Assessment with Engineers Australia, you will need to submit an IELTS test result form with a score of 6 in each of the 4 modules. Alternative English Tests will not be accepted."

    I also checked it last time before taking IELTS.

    Baka pwede ka mag work pa for 5 months? Hehehe, sa 20 points eh ST talaga ang kailangan mo hehehe. Dami naka 20 points na dito, so sure ako kaya mo rin yan, practice lang at bili ka nung gold kit.

    By the way, meron pako isang MOCK review sa KIT ko, MOCK A lang kasi nagamit ko, anyone here na gusto? I can sell it for 1500. Bale meron offline dun sa kit na walang time pero same format sa actual each parts, tapos meron pang isang graded MOCK B na may time at score, same sa actual,

    Let me know guys kung sino may gusto :)

    @kate27,
    Mabilis kaba magsalita? Tingin ko diyan eh meron o madaming words ang di nakuha sa read aloud. Ganyan kasi score ko nung nag mock ako sa bahay, kasi baka marinig ng housemates hehehe. Dapat mabagal lang tapos na pronounce mo ng maige kada words sa read aloud, tapos kung anong phase mo dun eh ganun din ang phase sa describe image at re-tell lecture

    @gfalconx,
    Tingin ko sa multiple choice eh wag ka mag tagal, 2min max per item. Pag 1 answer lang eh read lang question then hanapin mo answer sa paragraph, tsaka ka tumingin sa choices. Pag multiple naman eh read question, basa choices, hanap answer, basa choices, yan ganyan hehehe.

    @kate27
    Sched na agad yan ng next exam ehehe. Wag ka mahiya mag speaking kahit madami kayo, dapat malakas boses mo tapos deretso tapos mabigkas ng maige kada words, yun lang ginawa ko. 2nd take ko eh dami ko utal sa describe image at retell, pero fluent yung read aloud ko at madami ako tamang sagot sa 1 short answer hehehe
