Sa WFD, nagtype agad ako. Type without making necessary correction. Basta itype mo agad lahat ng narinig mo tapos tska icorrect spelling.

Sample Sentence:
I was snippy with him because I was running late for work.
I was snippy with him | because | I was running late for work.
(main clause) (conjunction) (main clause)
For WFD:
Sample Sentence:
I was snippy with him because I was running late for work.
Type mo lang yung narinig mo while nagsasalita si speaker kahit wrong spelling or abbreviations muna. Practice sa pag-type, kailangan mabilis ka din para may time ka pa ma-correct yung spelling ng words na mali, at mag-add ng commas and period kung kailangan.
Sample ng ni-type ko while listening sa speaker.
I was snipy w him bcoz I was running late for work.
Final:
I was snippy with him because I was running late for work.
Basta kailangan mabilis. Practice lang.

You can book via this page: https://pearsonpte.com/philippines/#find-a-test
The one here in Makati is located in Trident Tower (Buendia Ave, malapit sa RCBC/GT Tower)
Not sure sa Cebu testing center though
Good luck!

Acceptable rin ba ang PTE exam for GSM visa application? lalo na sa mga may work experience na sa abroad. If so I want to try taking the pte exam gusto ko malaman ano difference ng difficulty compare to ielts which i've already taken a year ago.
