grabe sakit sa ulo mag aral ng swt. kasi hindi mo alam kung nakuha mo ba ung main topic or hindi.

Congratulations po @renly2328 and @sureball5, sorry po late na nakapag congrats sa inyo. Naging busy ksi sa pag garner ng mga docs para sa ACS at busy din sa work. Happy to help po. Tunay nga po na prayers can move mountains ika nga. Naalala ko tuloy na yung CR breaks ko before beginning exam saka yung bago mag listening, ginagamit ko yung time na yun para mag pray sa loob mismo ng toilet. Anyways, God bless po sa next steps.

Yup, sinasadya nila yun na confusing yung mga paragraphs na nilalagay nila sa SWT. Ang technique ko doon, tinatanong ko ang sarili ko kung tungkol saan at kung ano yung overall na gusto nyang sabihin. Madalas nagbibigay sila ng example na magmumukang iyon ang main topic, pero hndi yon ang main topic. Kadalasan nasa first part ng paragraph yung main topic, pero may few instances na hndi. Hehe.

thanks ng marami @Supersaiyan i need to read more. para talaga mahasa.

@jaznimbo it's like a disclaimer saying that mock test score can be inaccurate.

Yup, isa dn ksi sa reason nito tingin ko, hndi nila certified and controlled yung mga equipments na ginagamit nten for taking mocks like headset and yung lugar kung san ginawa yung mock test. Kung walang noise cancellation yung headset na gamit at sa maingay nag take ng exam, possible na maka affect sa makukuhang score for speakin.

Got my result yesterday. First take overall 90.
Useful yung template sa DI, SST, RL. 2 weeks practice about 2-3 hrs a day. Basta may free time ako nagrereview ako ng DI, WE, SWT, RL, RA, saka inuulit ulit ko mga template hanngang sa kabisadong kabisado ko na. Yung sa listening and reading kelangan lang talaga practice mong magbasa and intindihin yung message and theme.

I'll try to write tips next time.

Thanks sa lahat ng tips sa thread na to

Hi @Admin , you may try watching lecture videos from Sonny English. Search mo lang sa youtube. Super helpful ng method nya. I practiced a lot and used his method sa SWT on my actual exam and effective naman sya sakin. Hope this helps. All the best po!

DI TIPS

INTRO - The image/bar graph/line graph/ gives/provides us information about >> title, x-axis, years, etc.
Note: Pedeng image na lang palagi para di na nakakalito.

2ND SENTENCE - from an overall perspective we can see that.... pwedeng simulan mo na describe dito yung nasa image like highest/largest, process, it is divided between males and females, divided by age group, etc.
Or pag may list minsan eto 2nd sentence ko
-this includes item1, item,2 item3, and others/so on.
Or pag image na medyo mahirap describe ang 2nd sentence ko is filler lang>>
-From an overall perspective we can see that this is a very informative/beautiful image.

BODY:
describe mo na dito yung image, nagiiba iba na dito depende kung bar, line, process, image, map.
I usally start with this line.
--If we follow the graph/image/line closely we can see that......
Few examples ng following phrases/sentences;
For graph/line/pie:
-the highest/largest point/proportion/item is_________ at _________. followed by _______ at _________.
-We can also see that/Meanwhile, ________________ is the lowest/smallest.
-The line is constantly increasing/decreasing before reaching the highest point at _____.
-madami pa pwedeng banggitin few examples lang to
For image, process, and map,pyramid;
-The base of the pyramid is composed of ____. followed by _____. On the tip/top of the pyramid______.
-The first step is _____, then ______, then _______ and so on. (process).
-Pag image or map kuha ka lng ng mga place or area kahit saan like center, left, right, bottom, top, tapos describe mo kahit anong item like color, etc.
-We can see at the top is the sky which is color blue.
-we can see the library beside the kitchen.
-at the center there is the _____.
-On the left part of the picture we can see the_______.
Note:
Dagdag ka pa ng ibang pwede mong masabi depende sa oras pag madami pa. Typically nagconclude ako after 30s mark. pero tansyahin nyo din kung gano kayo kabilis magsalita.

CONCLUSION:
Ang ginagamit ko is yung compact na lang kasi kadalasan 30s+ na ko natatapos sa body and di naman masyado mahalaga to dapat lang magconclude ka. Pag madami pang time hinahabaan ko.
--Overall, this image/graph is very informative.
--Overall, this image is very informative and can be used as reference.
--Overall, this image is very useful and can be used as specific reference for students and educators.
Pag may madaling trend na easy to spot minsan ginagawa ko na ganto:
--Overall, we can see that the _______ will continue to rise in the future.

NOTE:
1. Mahalaga dito is di ka magkamali ng salita or mabulol or huminto. Dapat dirediretso lang kahit mali yung masabi mo or medyo wala ng sense.
2. kabisaduhin yung intro, 2nd sentence saka conclusion, tapos fill na lng yung body.
3. practice makes perfect. ako minimum of 20 image a day ako nun 1 week before ng exam. ginagmit ko APEUNI app sa cellphone para kahit saan pwede magpractice.

raldzlozada

Just got my scores! Bilis pala ng results, kahapon lang ako nag take eh.

Anyway, need ba talaga lahat 79 or yung 4 communicative skills lang?
I have low oral fluency and written discourse scores, not sure why pero i think sa WFD lang ako nagka problem kahapon kasi atat na ako lumabas since need ko na mag "cr" hahaha lol

section3kid

@raldzlozada congrats po! Dont worry, yung communicative skills lang dapat 79+ para ma kuha yung Superior na rating.

Hello po. Sa WFD lang po ba talaga tayo nagkulang? Kasi nung nag take po ako ng exam, alam ko po nagkamali ako ng 1 sa SWT and sa essay hindi ako sure sa sinulat ko doon. hehe

Hi, I just took my first mock exam and here's the result. Admittedly, kinabahan ako sa start ng RA (the feeling na parang real exam, haha) and really messed up in the first two RA prompts. lol. most likely the reason why Reading and Speaking were just low and pronunciation too. Any other views po on the result so I can improve further my score? targeting superior po. Also, in Listening and Writing?

Erwann05

grabe ang galing ng Written discourse mo po. san po kayo nag focus ng husto to get a 90 sa written discourse?

riedbach

I improved a bit in my mock test pero mababa padin yung pronunciation ko.
this time nagfocus ako sa speaking which is nagimprove naman. Focusing on reading now. any view po on my results? Dont know why mababa lagi pronunciation ko. medyo sablay padin ako sa RL at nauutal.

riedbach

not sure if the same interpretation yung ginagawa ng mock at actual exam but looks like slightly similar yung case namin ni @Izagani.
Any feedback is much appreciated.
Will take my exam this weekend. targeting superior score.
