Maraming salamat @JHONIEL and @Admin
Mababa kasi ako sa written discourse Feel ko more on RS, RWFIB, SWT, Essay need ko. Pero struggling din ako sa RL. Napansin ko sa APEUni, ung mga sagot nila sa RL at DI paulit ulit lang. Like...
The speaker mentioned...
He also talked about ...
He also talked about ...
He also talked about ...
I can see ...
I can see ...
I can see ...
Di man lang iniiba ung first words, as in paulit ulit lang. Puwede ba un? I mean, hindi ba nakakababa ng score un?
Tapos sa RA, sabi sa Moni Magic, speaking fast despite having slightly wrong pronunciation(s) will give you a high score daw. In her case, naka 90 siya kahit nabubulol siya. May videos kasi siya na nagtake siya ng mock exam tapos nung pinakita score niya, 90.

@jaznimbo apeuni is designed for chinese accent. I suggest use it for reviewing reading section.. For RA, speak in moderate pace and avoid long pauses. If you misread a word just continue reading do not stutter..

wag mag aksaya pera sa ptetutorial dahil mas mura ang mock tests nila, better test your skills sa official mock test. yung ptetutorials manual scoring yon, 1week result.
kung free mock tests yan take advantage of it but never pay anything, always stick to PTE official mocks tests its worth it.

Thanks @ahyen sa tips. How about ung ptetutorials? Natry niyo na mag mock dun?

@jdash may 10 free mock test ako sa ptetutorials. Medyo mataas score ko dun compared sa ptepractice kaya medyo nagtataka ako if reliable din ba ung ptetutorials o talaga bang nag improve ako. 1st take ko is sa ptepractice then nag take ako free mock sa ptetutorials.

Wondering if mag work ung "techniques" ng mga indians dun sa apeuni. Especially sa RA, DI at RL. Ung mabilis and super paulit ulit lang ung verba. Im curious on how the algorithm works. If "official" nga ung sa ptetutorials and nakakuha ako ng mataas using their "techniques", malang sa malang gagana un sa actual exam?
Joined: Apr 23, 2018
yung 10 free mock tests ay hindi scored, ginamit ko rin yan, unless you you paid for it para magkaron score. mas reliable ang official PTE mock test at mas mahirap sya compared sa real exam.
Never rely sa scoring system ng iba kundi official PTE mock tests dahil hindi ka naman dun sa kanila magtetake ng exam.
Tsaka napansin ng rin iba dito na yung mga first time taker(real exam), ay mas madali yung scenario ng exam compared dun sa mga 2nd takes onwards, I noticed it too.

Akonakapagtry na ko ng mock test sa ptetutorials, use it as a guide lang kung san ka siguro dapat mgfocus, at sinunod ko padin ang payo nila to take the ptepractice mock test. Hindi padin ako nakakapagtake ng real exam. Compared sa dalawa, mas mababa nakuha kong grade sa ptetutorials tapos mataas na sa ptepractice. First akong ngpagrade sa ptetutorial tpos ng ptepractice na ako. Sana makapasa tayong lahat. Practice practice lang at practice pa more ๐

@Admin i think if pronunciation ka struggling, i guess need to work on how to say the words. Like ung difference ng p and f, b and v, etc. Kasi ung speed ng pagsalita is kadikit ng oral fluency eh.

Yes. In addition to moderate pacing, give emphasis to s/es/th/ph/f/p/d/ed etc. And avoid varying intonation

pinanood ko lang sya sa youtube before i took the PTE exam and followed the format in writing and practice , pero as i understand, may part ng writing score you get not only at essay, sa fill in the blanks may writing score din, write what you hear too, may mga tips si sonny english pagaralan mo lang, yung e2 language din may tips. Hope it well help.
