For the PTE instructions po and yung mga what to dos and not to dos, check nyo po sa youtube yung E2 Language na page. Dami sila instructions during the actual exam. For tips naman, jimmyssem and sonny english na pages.

Hello,
Any idea what happened for me to get this score? Overall score is 58.
Joined: Jan 07, 2021
Hi po, quick question lng po. If ang target score ko po is 43 for all sections. Kaya po ba yun kahit walang review yung tipong watching video na lang ang answering the pte test bank?
Joined: Jan 07, 2021
Also anyone na gumamit ng template ni Jimmyssem for DI and RL? Nagwowork ba talaga yun?

Ang tip nila ay mag next ka na agad pagkatapos mo magbasa para wala ng ma-capture yun microphone mo na ibang words o mga nagsasalita baka maka affect sa scoring.
Grabe daw kasing ingay sa testing center dahil lahat palaban sa RA. Ganun din sa iba like RS/DI/RL, i-next na agad after mo magsalita.

Gumamit din po ba kayo template ni jimmyssem sa RL and DI?

@csandres ang ginamit ko is kay Sonny english, may template sya na very similar for both DI and RL. Then nagpurchase ako ng 6mos subscription sa pte magic. Around 2.8k ata yun kasi may promo discount sila na 40% sa 1st time client nila. Madaming exercises at may AI din for speaking yung website nila.
May kasama yun na 8 mock tests. Nagtake lang ako ng official na test nung nakascore ako consistently ng above 79+ sa last 4 mock exams ko. 6 na mock exams lang nagamit ko. Nung official test ko, naka90 ako overall.

Meron din naman template si jimmyssem sa essay. Pili ka nalang kung easy or easier version. Sa SST at SWT naman meron mga templates sila jimmyssem at sonny english dati kaso inalis na nila, siguro di effective kaya inalis.

Hi mam,
Speaking
Sa read aloud ba ay mabagal ka magbasa? if yes, try to speak faster. Mataas din ang points sa repeat sentence, sa tingin mo ba you did good dito? try to get as much correct answers as you can. Sa DI/RL as long as gamit mo un template ni jimmyssem, goods yan basta make sure na hindi mabagal ang pagsasalita mo. Answer short questions, di ganun kataas ang contribution ng test na to.
Writing
macheck mo yung points mo sa essay sa written discourse, at 79 points , i think ok ang essay mo. You can get more points from WFD. DI ako makacomment sa SWT kasi sabi ng mga naglabas ng template na yan, di na daw ganun ka effective kaya nila inalis sa youtube page nila.
As for listening and reading,
Sa tingin mo ba you did good sa write from dictation? Eto ang pinaka important na task kasi, Try to focus sa Fill in the blanks questions dahil mataas ang points jan. Practice ka din sa highlight incorrect words, at lalo na sa write from dictation.
Note: Opinyon ko lang po ito at hindi ako expert or teacher sa PTE hehe. Let us know how you did the test para macheck kung tama ba yung pagassess ko.

Practice lang po, and try to memorize phrases instead na paisa isang word. Try mo rin isulat sa paper yung 1st letters ng every word kung effective sayo.
