READING
Multiple choice, choose single answer -
• I only spend 1.5 minutes each item
• You can easily determine if the task is MCSA because of the round-shaped option
button
• Enhance your Speed-reading skills (understand the text while reading rapidly)
• Basta MCSA, binabasa ko talaga ang text kasi maikli lang naman at less complicated
compared sa MCMA.
• Ito yung steps na ginamit ko:
(1) Read and focus on the key words in the prompt
(2) Read the text for 35 secs (usually short paragraph(s) lang ang MCSA). While reading and
understanding the text, bring back the information from the question/prompt into your
mind, para mas madaling mahanap yung keywords na related dun sa prompt.
(3) Binabasa ko ulit yung text for another 35 secs kasi minsan 50% lang yung na iintindihan
ko sa first attempt.
(4) I used to spend 20 secs of the 1.5-minute duration to choose an answer.
• Note: These steps would really require a lot of practice.
• Three sources na ginamit ko para maka practice talaga:
-una kong ginamit ang https://ptetutorials.com/sample-questions/reading-multiple-
choice-choose-single-answer
-after ptetutorials, nag practice ako dito sa https://ptestudy.com/
-Lastly, https://www.apeuni.com/practice/reading?model=r_mcs&num=1&menu=all
Multiple choice, choose multiple answers -
• I only spend 2 minutes each item
• You can easily determine if the task is MCMA because of the square-shaped option
button
• Hindi speed-reading technique ang ginamit ko dito kasi masyadong mahaba yung
texts compared to MCSA. Na try kong mag apply ng speed-reading, kaso mas kaunti
lang yung naiintindihan ko dahil talagang mabilisan yung pag babasa within 2 mins.
• Ito yung steps na ginamit ko:
(1) Understand the question/prompt and collect key words
(2) Hanapin dun sa text yung keyword(s) from the prompt, sometimes yung synonyms ng
word ang nasa text.
(3) Try to locate all possible locations ng keywords dun sa texts para madaling balikan
afterwards. Kasi you need more than 1 answer.
(4) Read that certain sentence/phrases before and after the keyword. Umiikot lang dito yung
answers talaga. Then, look at the choices kung may related idea ba na makikita based sa
binasa mong sentence.
(5) With this scheme, di mo kelangan basahin yung buong paragraphs. Just read one
sentence before the keyword and once sentence after the keyword.
• Itong strategy na’to ay same lang din sa strategy ni Moni PTE Magic
•
• Three sources na ginamit ko para maka practice talaga:

Re-order paragraphs -
Rule:
Obj of 1st sentence becomes Subj of the 2nd sentence
Obj of 2nd sentence becomes Subj of the 3rd sentence
Obj of 3rd sentence becomes Subj of the 4th sentence
Some findings:
• Take note of the sequence of events. Based dun sa experiences ko during practice
session, kadalasan nauuna yung past events followed by current events.
Ex:
(1) So in the agrarian era, if you need to destroy ………
(2) But in the industrial era, destroying the …..
(3) Now in the information era, destroying the …..
• Take note of the paragraphs containing “I”, “I have”. Paragraphs containing personal
pronoun “I” are closely related to each other.
Kadalasan magkakasunod yung sequence ng paragraphs with “I”.
• Active sentences should come first before Passive sentences
• Paragraph with article “A” should come first before paragraph containing “The”
I had tried studying several sources before. Pero, ito yung complete package para sa akin:

*** Listening ***
Summarize spoken text -
• Instead of listening to music for several months, ito yung pina pakinggan ko :
working
• Fast note-taking yung pina practice ko dito. While listening to podcasts, nag susulat
ako.
• Use a lot of abbreviations when taking notes, para mabilis…or make your own
abbreviations.
• Ito yung way ko, for example:
Audio: “The worldwide population of wild giant pandas increased by 268 over the
last decade according to a new survey conducted by the government of
China.”
My writing: “wrldwide populatn wild giant pandas incrsd 268 last decade survey by
govt China…..”
• Practice taking notes while listening & understanding the audio
• Ito yung templates ko:
The speaker was mainly discussing ________.
Firtsly, he/she mentioned that_________.
He/she then stated that ______.
In addition, he/she discussed/expounded that ______.
Moreover, he/she described/elucidated the fact that ______.
Lastly, he/she suggested/highlighted that ______.
Multiple choice, choose multiple answers -
• I spend only 2 minutes for this task
• Spend the preparation time (5 – 7 secs) to read and understand the question/prompt
• If the options have long sentences, grasp your erasable booklet and prepare for note-
taking
• If maikli lang yung sentences (options), just listen carefully and glance at the options
while listening, para may hint kung anong option ang candidate for elimination.
Fill in the blanks -
• I spend only 2 minutes for this task
• Spend the preparation time (5 – 7 secs) to examine the entire boxes and take note
kung gaano ka dikit yung mga “blanks”, sometimes blanks/boxes are only separated
by 3 words. So, be prepared by examining ahead of time which part ng paragraph na
may ganito para ma anticipate mo.
• Di baling mali2x yung spelling when typing your answers, balikan mo nalang afterwards.
Ang importante di ka mawawala sa audio.
Highlight correct summary -
• For me, this is an effective method:
Multiple choice, choose single answer -
• I spend only 1 minute for this task
• Same strategies with MCMA (listening)
Select missing word -
• Yung ginawa ko, talagang pinakinggan ko yung entire audio to get the main idea. While
listening,… tinitingnan ko yung progress bar para ma anticipate yung pag hinto ng
recording(with beep)
• Malaking tulong kung makukuha mo yung main idea kasi sometimes kung babasahin mo
yung options, halos lahat ay correct answers. So, understanding the main idea is your
paramount guide.
Highlight incorrect words -
• Firstly, clear your desk…especially dun sa area ng mouse.
• Yung sa akin, mag lift lang ako ng mouse if may new line na, pero kung nasa isang line
palang yung pinapakinggan ko, I simply slide the mouse para hindi ako mawala dun sa
recording vs. actual words na sinusundan.
• Pag may obstacles when sliding your mouse, it would really affect your focus.
• Ang ginawa ko dito, yung mouse cursor ko naka sunod dun sa mentioned words at yung
mata ko nag babasa ng advance dun sa succeeding words.
Write from dictation -
• Ito yung approach ko:
1) Nakatingin ako dun sa time status (Beginning in 3-2-1 seconds) before mag start yung audio
2) Ginamit ko yung first 2 seconds to clear my mind and focus
3) Sa remaining 1 sec, ito yung anticipation mood ko, gusto kong ma feel talaga na may audio akong ina-abangan. Kasi when I am anticipating for something, mas alert yung mind and ears ko. Parang may feeling of eagerness kung ano kaya ang lalabas na audio.
• While listening, nag keyboard typing na agad ako sa mga words na napapakinggan ko,
unlike dun sa repeat sentence.
• Ito yung effective sa akin, kasi makukuha mo talaga yung mga keywords esp. kung
mahaba yung sentences. Okay lang na may makakalimutan na helping verbs, articles, or
prepositions, unahin mo munang e focus ang pag sulat ng keywords… saka mo nalang
ayusin yung grammar afterwards.
• Ito yung way ko para mabilis yung pag type ng words:
For example: There are people who believe that ------> Dr r pple hu blv dat ...
Dito ako nag practice for listening taks:

Ginamit ko lang din po ang template nina sir @Heprex @steven etc., modified ng konti kung san ako comfortable. Then be flexible nalang sa different types ng charts. At first po may kodigo ako during practice, then sa sobrang paulit ulit po everyday, na-memorize ko na siya. Try to practice regularly po ng different types of charts like bar, pie, line, table, flow chart, map, & pictures.

@nashmacoy101 parang impossible pre. Confident kasi ako sa WFD at RWFIB since madami lumabas galing APEUNI. lalo na sa WFD, 3/4 galing APEUNI.

Nakakapag taka nga lang talaga na halos perfect yung enabling skills mo, pero hindi na-hit yung Superior mark.
Pero agree ako sa suggestion to input your score in APEuni exam history. At least yan yung pwede mong option.
DIY all the way. Avoid preachy, know-it-all, and unscrupulous agents AT ALL COSTS!
