    @batman eto lumabas sa essay ko

    In the past 100 years, there were many inventions such as antibiotics, airplanes and computer. What do you think is the most important invention of the past 100 years? Why?

    Ginamit ko ung kay supersiayan , although pang debate kasi un pero medyo tinailor ko but still same structure

    write from diction namam 3 lumabas, 1 and 2 sure ako perfect, ung third sobrang haba. kaya siguro d ko nakuha. sayang 3pts na lang talaga.

    although laki rin ng improvement ko sa spelling from 17 to 85. kasi talagang every word na sinulat ko chineck ko but still failed sa writing discourse.

    @Admin

    kaya na yan next time. Nabasa ko din na di mo na perfect yung last part ng WFD, baka dun sumabit. hehe

    Btw, minsan kahit mabababa ang WD mo mkakasuperior ka parin sa Writing kung na ace mo yung ibang writing task, parang sakin. Ewan ko ba sa PTE haha.

    Goodluck sa next take.

    Ginamit ko yung trick ni Supersaiyan at ng e2language sa SWT. Kumuha ko ng 3 sentences/phrases na main ideas at most dun sa paragraph, then pinagdugtong ko lang ng FANBOYS like what @Admin said... Tapos check ng grammar kung tama. Kung may time pa, nag change ako ng words to synonyms nila para talagang paraphrased.

    Totoo rin to, haha. 67 lang WD ko. Pero naabot naman yung Writing Superior. Hatak hatak lang rin nung ibang mga items for Writing... Pero pinakamahalaga for Writing ay yung Essay talaga.

    Hello guys, I took the PTE last 2017 and got a 90 overall rating. Planning to take it again this year kasi mag eexpire na. May mga pagbabago ba since 3 years ago? Or the same guidelines and scoring pa din? Thanks!

    Kaya mo yan @Admin onti na lang yan. For Writing, mejo broad yung mga test types contributing sa scores dito, possible sa RW FITB, Listening FITB or sa WFD may mga sumabit. Reminisce habang fresh pa sa isip kung may hndi nkuhang tama. Also, please note na mas higher weight ang iskor na binibigay ni WFD sa Writing kesa sa Essay, so dapat kung hndi na gets yung sinabi sa WFD, make sure na may thought yung sagot kahit guess lang kasi nakakahatak ng malaking score kapag walang thought yung response na binigay na guess. Also, i-mixed yung simple, compound sentences sa SWT and SST part. Will pray for you sa next sit mo. Last note, maling impression na kapag mataas yung WD eh makaka superior na (though much better kung mataas ito. Check my exam history sa signature ko, may 90 akong WD, but then hndi na reach yung 79 sa Writing) God bless!

    Hello po,
    Pede po pahelp kung san ako dpat mgfocus...
    Maraming salamt sa tulong nyo...
    Aiming for superior....

    Practice lang ng practice. :smile: Then make sure na pag speaking, clear ang pagkakabigkas mo ng words, as well as sa mga intonations. Confident dapat. May ibang parts na speaking na mahahatak din ang scores ng reading. Siguro practice lang din sa writing part. Ang alam ko meron mga free online PTE studies, others are paid, so maybe you can try it as well. Kapag mga write from dictation and repeat sentences, make sure na walang dagdag-bawas. Best of luck! :smiley:

    Hello po,
    Pede po pahelp kung san ako dpat mgfocus...
    Maraming salamt sa tulong nyo...
    Aiming for superior....

    Practice lang ng practice. :smile: Then make sure na pag speaking, clear ang pagkakabigkas mo ng words, as well as sa mga intonations. Confident dapat. May ibang parts na speaking na mahahatak din ang scores ng reading. Siguro practice lang din sa writing part. Ang alam ko meron mga free online PTE studies, others are paid, so maybe you can try it as well. Kapag mga write from dictation and repeat sentences, make sure na walang dagdag-bawas. Best of luck! :smiley:

    Super salamat sa reply mo akala ko na dedma na yung comment ko. Thanks much! Yes, super dame ng tab ang internet explorer ko kaka practice.. mahirap pero kaya toh! God bless!

    @silverbull, yes bro paid sya sa PTE study ko nakita yung mock exam, parang nasa 350 pesos lang ata. ok na din sya kasi at least makikita and ma-experience mo kung paano ba yung actual exam ni PTE, and may idea ka kung ano dapat i-improve before the big day ;)
