    @wrckitjay ano po ginamit niyong template for essay and sst? sa wfd naglagay po ba kayo ng mga extra words or yung exact na narinig niyo lang talaga?

    Yung sa essay po kay jimmyssem ginamit ko kaso first paragraph lang kinaya kong makabisa and ako na lang po bumuo nung mga kulang. Wala akong nagamit na template for SST. Ginawa ko is yung idea from RL ni jimmy ayun na lang po inapply ko. Nilist ko lang mga keywords then binuo ko na yung paragraph. Idea lang po kinuha ko, not the template kasi lalagpas kana sa allowed number of words. Parang,

    The lecture is about...
    Firstly, keywords...
    Lastly, keywords...

    WFD, yes po naglagay ako ng extra words sa mga hindi ako sure ng rinig.

    Hello good day po! Planning to take na din po ako ng PTE tentatively Apr 2 ko balak. First question po, doable po ba na maka-superior with only 1 month of preparation? Last take ko po ng English Test eh 2017 pa at IELTS yun. Second question, sa mga PH-based takers, in your experience po ba may better time slot (AM vs PM)? Sa listening po kasi ko kailangan magfocus talaga kasi minsan nahihirapan ako makarinig pag sabay-sabay nagsasalita although nabasa ko na po sa thread na dapat ready ka dun. Salamat po.

    Hi. In my PTE exam experience last March 7, doable naman po maka superior kahit 1 month prep lang. Ako not to brag, nag review ng three weeks then exam na. I took the exam at 2PM in makati. Preferred ko yun kesa sa 12NN kasi baka magutom pero consider niyo po na baka antukin kayo ng 2PM kasi kumain kayo. For me, may adjustment ako sa kain ko like nagbawas ng dami ng kinakain sa lunch para di antukin ng hapon. Important po kasi yung condition niyo kahit nakareview kayo ng todo tapos inantok, baka mahirapan po. Tips ko lang naman yun. Yung listening, part of my review is everyday ako nakikinig ng balita in english related din sa european war. Hehe ayun lang tips lang po sana nakatulong

    Hello good day po. Meron po ba ditong APEUni mock exams lang yung tinake prior to actual PTE exam pero naka-Superior pa din? Nagtake po kasi ko kahapon ng APEUni mock test at okay naman po lumabas na results kaya nagdecide na ako imove from Apr 02 to March 21 yung exam date ko kasi nasa momentum na ko ng pagrereview kaya laban na. Sinunod ko na din po yung payo nung iba na magplay ng BG noise pati ingay ng electric fan namin rinig ko pero maganda nga po para di na manibago sa actual exam date. Dun lang po ako sa pagsasalita na naka-surgical mask nahihirapan pa kasi nakakahingal talaga. May marecommend po ba kayong type ng mask?

    Medyo mahal din po pala kasi yung PTE Mock Test nasa 1.9K po pala eh bumili din po ako ng headphones kanina kasi naka-earphones lang po ako kahapon baka kaya lowest ko speaking dahil di maayos narerecord sa APEUni pag earphones lang gamit. Kahapon din po pala eh nagspontaneous lang ako muna para sa RL at DI parts. Nung gabi, sinubukan ko format ni Sonny English kaso nabubulol ako sa haba. Susundin ko na din po yung kay Jimmyssem kasi mas versatile para sakin at madami na po nagpatotoo na effective din yun.

    Magkakabisa po muna ko templates ngayong araw at simula bukas 'till Sunday puro mock tests na ulit gagawin ko.

    Me. Apeuni mock tests lang ginamit ko all the way and about sa scores, mababa talaga si apeuni magbigay. Ito scores ko from one mock test in apeuni and actual exam.

    Ayun maraming salamat Sir @wrckitjay sa pagsagot. Sa Thurs nalang ako magdecide kung bibili pa ko ng PTE mock exam. Dami na din kasi mock tests sa APEUni overload na hahaha. Regarding speaking Sir, mabilis ba kayo magsalita o sakto lang? Tapos slang ba kayo o Philippine English accent? Kasi kagabi sinusubukan diff ways ng pagsasalita tapos mas matataas nakukuha ko pag medyo mabilis at slang bumasa ewan lang sa actual kung ganun din scoring. Based kasi sa feedbacks po dito, yung Speaking scoring ng APEuni pinakaquestionable.

    Hello, just to share my experience in PTE speaking, una po kailangan tlaga imitate niyo intonation ng nagsasalita sa repeat sentence. Anyway i got 90 po pala sa speaking, may 2/6 ang ang perfect ko sa repeat sentence ko. May mga kulang na word pero same intonation, pag stress ng words, ganun po.

    Thank you Sir @reemon sa tips. Sa RS po talaga ko nagfofocus na ngayon eh. Okay na ko sa RA, FITB at konti pa sa WFD (namimiss o na-aadd ko yung ibang articles minsan). Dapat prepared kasi kahit gaano kahaba yung sentence na lumabas sa RS. Nung sinubukan ko kagabi yung magkahiwalay yung it is saka yung magkadikit na itis as per @chemistmom 's advice eh mas mataas nga po score kaya yun na gawin ko sa RS.

"The science laboratory is located at the corner side of the building" dapat pero ang nabanggit ko "The laboratory is at the side of the building". I'm not sure bakit 90 pa rin ako sa speaking. siguro dun talaga ako magaling sa intonation and word stress. Also, make sure kahit kulangin ka ng words sa RS, dapat kumpleto pa rin yung thought tulad ng example ko.. yun lang. Here is my score pla

    Thank you Sir @reemon. Yes Sir daily po ako nagpapractice at dun ako nagfofofocus sa mga identified exams kong hirap pa ako, RS at FITB. Sa RA at WFD okay na po ako. Pero lahat ng areas sinusubukan ko pa din icover pero least priority ko yung MC at ASQ exams. Nakakainis nga po nag 2nd mock-exam ako kagabi sa APEUni para iassess sana yung performance ko pero pagcheck ko kanina nag-error yung scoring kahit naka-VIP naman ako. Not sure kung dahil ba sa internet connection mabagal kasi samin. Ngayon sa 79score at sa Language Academy po mag-mock test din ako para magamit ko yung time bukas mag-improve pa kasi pinalipat ko sa Monday, March 21 na yung exam ko. Nakakakaba pero no choice kundi lumaban haha.

    Hello good day po. Meron po ba ditong APEUni mock exams lang yung tinake prior to actual PTE exam pero naka-Superior pa din? Nagtake po kasi ko kahapon ng APEUni mock test at okay naman po lumabas na results kaya nagdecide na ako imove from Apr 02 to March 21 yung exam date ko kasi nasa momentum na ko ng pagrereview kaya laban na. Sinunod ko na din po yung payo nung iba na magplay ng BG noise pati ingay ng electric fan namin rinig ko pero maganda nga po para di na manibago sa actual exam date. Dun lang po ako sa pagsasalita na naka-surgical mask nahihirapan pa kasi nakakahingal talaga. May marecommend po ba kayong type ng mask?

    Medyo mahal din po pala kasi yung PTE Mock Test nasa 1.9K po pala eh bumili din po ako ng headphones kanina kasi naka-earphones lang po ako kahapon baka kaya lowest ko speaking dahil di maayos narerecord sa APEUni pag earphones lang gamit. Kahapon din po pala eh nagspontaneous lang ako muna para sa RL at DI parts. Nung gabi, sinubukan ko format ni Sonny English kaso nabubulol ako sa haba. Susundin ko na din po yung kay Jimmyssem kasi mas versatile para sakin at madami na po nagpatotoo na effective din yun.

    Magkakabisa po muna ko templates ngayong araw at simula bukas 'till Sunday puro mock tests na ulit gagawin ko.

    Me. Apeuni mock tests lang ginamit ko all the way and about sa scores, mababa talaga si apeuni magbigay. Ito scores ko from one mock test in apeuni and actual exam.

    Ayun maraming salamat Sir @wrckitjay sa pagsagot. Sa Thurs nalang ako magdecide kung bibili pa ko ng PTE mock exam. Dami na din kasi mock tests sa APEUni overload na hahaha. Regarding speaking Sir, mabilis ba kayo magsalita o sakto lang? Tapos slang ba kayo o Philippine English accent? Kasi kagabi sinusubukan diff ways ng pagsasalita tapos mas matataas nakukuha ko pag medyo mabilis at slang bumasa ewan lang sa actual kung ganun din scoring. Based kasi sa feedbacks po dito, yung Speaking scoring ng APEuni pinakaquestionable.

    Hello, just to share my experience in PTE speaking, una po kailangan tlaga imitate niyo intonation ng nagsasalita sa repeat sentence. Anyway i got 90 po pala sa speaking, may 2/6 ang ang perfect ko sa repeat sentence ko. May mga kulang na word pero same intonation, pag stress ng words, ganun po.

    Thank you Sir @reemon sa tips. Sa RS po talaga ko nagfofocus na ngayon eh. Okay na ko sa RA, FITB at konti pa sa WFD (namimiss o na-aadd ko yung ibang articles minsan). Dapat prepared kasi kahit gaano kahaba yung sentence na lumabas sa RS. Nung sinubukan ko kagabi yung magkahiwalay yung it is saka yung magkadikit na itis as per @chemistmom 's advice eh mas mataas nga po score kaya yun na gawin ko sa RS.

    Kaya mo yan sir basta everyday lang ang practice at least 1 hr, yung RS ko 2/5 lang ata perfect ko dun. yung 3 items kulang kulang yung words ko pero may intonation and nandun yung stress ng words. "The science laboratory is located at the corner side of the building" dapat pero ang nabanggit ko "The laboratory is at the side of the building". I'm not sure bakit 90 pa rin ako sa speaking. siguro dun talaga ako magaling sa intonation and word stress. Also, make sure kahit kulangin ka ng words sa RS, dapat kumpleto pa rin yung thought tulad ng example ko.. yun lang. Here is my score pla

    Thank you Sir @reemon. Yes Sir daily po ako nagpapractice at dun ako nagfofofocus sa mga identified exams kong hirap pa ako, RS at FITB. Sa RA at WFD okay na po ako. Pero lahat ng areas sinusubukan ko pa din icover pero least priority ko yung MC at ASQ exams. Nakakainis nga po nag 2nd mock-exam ako kagabi sa APEUni para iassess sana yung performance ko pero pagcheck ko kanina nag-error yung scoring kahit naka-VIP naman ako. Not sure kung dahil ba sa internet connection mabagal kasi samin. Ngayon sa 79score at sa Language Academy po mag-mock test din ako para magamit ko yung time bukas mag-improve pa kasi pinalipat ko sa Monday, March 21 na yung exam ko. Nakakakaba pero no choice kundi lumaban haha.

    Another tip for pte exam takers, gamit po kayo ng maluwag na mask. I tried using yung blue na mask na maluwag. If ever, for the sake of passing the exam, during speaking session binaba ko yung mask ko konti. Bawal yun but i did it and risked it kasi 11k ang exam. I got 90 in speaking. Yun lang.

    Lumabas na po PTE results ko...Proficient!!! Maraming salamat po sa lahat ng mga nagbigay ng tips sakin dito especially kila @wrckitjay @reemon @MLBS at sa sobrang effective na tips ni @chemistmom. Sayang 1 pt sa writing nalang eh Superior na sana pero sobrang thankful na po ako dito lalo 1st take palang. Pag-iisipan ko pa kung magreretake to aim for Superior. Pero priority ko makakapag-paassess na sa EA para masubmit ko na EOI ko. Unexpected yung resulta para sakin kasi sa Reading at Speaking talaga ako alanganin sa tingin ko at sa Listening at Writing ako medyo maayos. Mamaya na po ako magshare ng tips at advices ko para sa future exam takers kasi di pa nagsisink in sakin to. Thank you po ulit.

    Hello @tonytnyt. Yung sa akin po di ko na nilagay yung middle name ko. For example ang name ko eh Juan Carlos Garcia Cruz. Ang ginawa ko po ay nilagay ko sa First Name portion yung Juan Carlos tapos sa Last Name eh Cruz. Parang di po required ilagay yung Middle Name kasi yung ibang tao wala nun di ko po sure ito. Pero wala naman po naging problema sa admission ko kahapon nung prinesent ko yung passport ko nung nagtake ako PTE-A. Pero hintayin niyo nalang din po insights nung iba.

    Oras naman po para magshare ako ng mga naging useful tips, techniques or practices ko while practicing and during exam.

    Sinunod ko lang po lahat ng tips ni @chemistmom. Sa dami po ng available templates online pati mga tips talagang nakakaoverwhelm pero kailangan mong mamili ng format na kumportable ka. Magtiwala po kayo talagang effective format nila Jimmyssem. Andito na po lahat ng mga tips na makakatulong sayo makuha desired scores mo: https://pinoyau.info/discussion/4233/pte-academic/p693.

    Other tips:
    1) Know your learning style.

    Para sakin importante po ito, kinausap ko parents ko kaya nagresign ako to focus sa PTE. Ayoko na kasi maulit yung sa IELTS experience ko dati na di ko nabigay best ko dahil kasabay ng pagrereview ko para sa certification exam namin. Mas effective po sakin yung alternate days na aral tapos rest kinabukasan and so on. Eto po yung kalendaryo na ginamit ko para mamonitor ko progress ko. Pero kung mas effective mo sa inyo yung 2-3 hours daily wala pong problema ang mahalaga may progress ka.

    May konting inedit lang po pala ko sa templates ng essay at SWT. Feel free to use po or edit kung gusto niyo.

    2) Sobrang useful ng mga tips ni Jay sa Youtube na 2 hours. Expert talaga siya sa scoring. Better na panoorin niyo po nang buo yun para maabsorb niyo fully pero kung may time constraints ito yung nagawa kong summary nun.






    3) During practice, dapat realistic yung simulation ng exam room set-up. Wear headphones (thankfully dumating yung akin 2 days before exam date), play BG noise, normalize na may magulo sa paligid (in my case yung 2 toddlers kong pamangkin) and wear face mask. Para sakin napakachallenging po nung nakafacemask kasi given na may oras yung exam nung practice feeling ko malalagutan ako ng hininga sa RA, RS, DI at RL. Mahalaga na sa practice nadidiscover niyo na po weakness/es niyo para maitama o maimprove pa kesa sa actual exam mo na malaman.

    4) Practice. Practice. Practice. May nabasa po ako somewhere na hindi ka dapat maging complacent na kaya mo na kaya di ka na magpapractice kasi kung talagang magaling daw sa English bakit di mag-IELTS. Sana wag po mahurt dito kasi totoo po ito bilang pareho ko na din natake both exams mas madali talaga ang PTE basta tama at sapat na practice. Saka mahal po yung exam fee na 10-12K kaya practice lang po kaya yan.

    Bumili po ako ng APEUni VIP pass: Nasa PhP 800 good for 30 days. Naka-2 mock test ako dito pero ang target ko talaga at least 10 pero dahil sa change of plans umikli yung time ko magmock exam. Apr 02 po kasi orig sched ko eh worried ako baka di ko masustain momentum kaya pinalipat ko nung Mar 21. Pasalamat nalang ako at maganda resulta ng pambubudol ng pamilya ko sakin na ipalipat ko na.

    Eto po link nun: https://www.apeuni.com/en

    P.S. As my way of paying it forward, pwede ko po ipahiram sa first 3 people na nagtitipid yung account ko sa APEUni. Comment or PM lang po. Pag-usapan niyo nalang po siguro yung scheduling ng gamit para makapagpractice mabuti.

    Inavail ko din po yung free mock tests sa mga sites na ito .

    https://www.79score.com/ (1 free complete mock test)
    https://www.languageacademy.com.au/auth/login (1 free per subtest and 1 free complete mock test)

    5) Kung may oras pa po, manood ng PTE videos sa Youtube (Sonny English, Jimmyssem, Jay, Moni etc). Nakatulong din po to sakin sobra.

    6) Focus. Totoo po yung sinasabi nung iba na madaming pwedeng mangyari during exam kaya dapat ready ka. Nung nagmamock-exam ako nadidistract ako ng mga pamangkin ko at may times na may nasiskip akong parts kasi kailangan ko sila silipin. During exam, yung masasabi kong related dito eh yung di maiiwasan na may mga co-examinees kang mapapatingin sayo o di kaya ikaw ang macucurious sa ginagawa nila kaya dapat focus ka lang at mind your own business. Meron din po kahapon naririnig ko intro ng mga katabi ko syempre di mo maiwasan makinig kasi nakakarelate ka sa kanila. Nasa first 10 ako ng examinees sa PM batch at pagpasok ko sa room nagtataka ko bakit wala pa nagsisimula eh may mga nauna na sakin. Nagfocus nalang ako sa ginagawa ko at 5 times ko po chineck yung mic kasi may mga ilang tries ako na sabog boses ko. Tama po sila na di pa naman po magstart oras basta wala ka pa sa RA portion.

    7) Maghanap ng matinding motivation. Bakit at para kanino mo ba ginagawa to? Sa una nakakapressure talaga pero makakatulong na slowly maayos mo yung mind setting mo. During review, inisip ko lahat ng mga pinagdaanan kong hirap sa exams nung college at pati na din sa trabaho kaya pag inaatake ko ng kaba iniisip ko nalang di ako dapat sumuko kasi may mas mahihirap pa kong mga pagsubok na nalampasan na. Saka di ko ineentertain yung idea na matitigil ako sa EA assessment dahil sa English exam. Mahalaga po na mapalakas mo loob mo kasi ikaw lang lahat magsasagot sa day ng exam. During exam, inisip ko naman po na nasa prison cell ako at kailangan kong makalabas kaya kahit talagang sumasabog puso ko sa kaba di ako nagpatalo inisip ko na kailangan ko matapos na dito sa paghihirap na to.

    8) Magdasal. Nung college may kasabihan po sa Faculty namin na Aral.Puso.Tiwala.Dasal. During practice at sa exam mismo yan po ang lagi ko iniisip na di ako pababayaan ng Diyos kasi alam niya na binigay ko best ko kaya nagtiwala talaga ko sa Kanya.

    9) Iwasan mastress during exam day. Muntikan na po ako dito madali kasi nagcommute lang ako from Bulacan to Makati almost 3 hrs 1-way lang. Buti maaga ko umalis 9 am lang pero mga 11:45 ako dumating sa testing site kaya kumain muna ko. Mahalaga po talaga na makarelax kayo at least 1 hr before magsimula exam para nasa kondisyon isip niyo.

    Good luck po sa future takers!!! Kayang-kaya niyo po yan. Kung kinaya namin, mas kaya niyo. Laban lang!!!

    7) Maghanap ng matinding motivation. Bakit at para kanino mo ba ginagawa to? Sa una nakakapressure talaga pero makakatulong na slowly maayos mo yung mind setting mo. During review, inisip ko lahat ng mga pinagdaanan kong hirap sa exams nung college at pati na din sa trabaho kaya pag inaatake ko ng kaba iniisip ko nalang di ako dapat sumuko kasi may mas mahihirap pa kong mga pagsubok na nalampasan na. Saka di ko ineentertain yung idea na matitigil ako sa EA assessment dahil sa English exam. Mahalaga po na mapalakas mo loob mo kasi ikaw lang lahat magsasagot sa day ng exam. During exam, inisip ko naman po na nasa prison cell ako at kailangan kong makalabas kaya kahit talagang sumasabog puso ko sa kaba di ako nagpatalo inisip ko na kailangan ko matapos na dito sa paghihirap na to.

    8) Magdasal. Nung college may kasabihan po sa Faculty namin na Aral.Puso.Tiwala.Dasal. During practice at sa exam mismo yan po ang lagi ko iniisip na di ako pababayaan ng Diyos kasi alam niya na binigay ko best ko kaya nagtiwala talaga ko sa Kanya.

    9) Iwasan mastress during exam day. Muntikan na po ako dito madali kasi nagcommute lang ako from Bulacan to Makati almost 3 hrs 1-way lang. Buti maaga ko umalis 9 am lang pero mga 11:45 ako dumating sa testing site kaya kumain muna ko. Mahalaga po talaga na makarelax kayo at least 1 hr before magsimula exam para nasa kondisyon isip niyo.

    Good luck po sa future takers!!! Kayang-kaya niyo po yan. Kung kinaya namin, mas kaya niyo. Laban lang!!!

    Oras naman po para magshare ako ng mga naging useful tips, techniques or practices ko while practicing and during exam.

    Sinunod ko lang po lahat ng tips ni @chemistmom. Sa dami po ng available templates online pati mga tips talagang nakakaoverwhelm pero kailangan mong mamili ng format na kumportable ka. Magtiwala po kayo talagang effective format nila Jimmyssem. Andito na po lahat ng mga tips na makakatulong sayo makuha desired scores mo: https://pinoyau.info/discussion/4233/pte-academic/p693.

    Other tips:
    1) Know your learning style.

    Para sakin importante po ito, kinausap ko parents ko kaya nagresign ako to focus sa PTE. Ayoko na kasi maulit yung sa IELTS experience ko dati na di ko nabigay best ko dahil kasabay ng pagrereview ko para sa certification exam namin. Mas effective po sakin yung alternate days na aral tapos rest kinabukasan and so on. Eto po yung kalendaryo na ginamit ko para mamonitor ko progress ko. Pero kung mas effective mo sa inyo yung 2-3 hours daily wala pong problema ang mahalaga may progress ka.

    May konting inedit lang po pala ko sa templates ng essay at SWT. Feel free to use po or edit kung gusto niyo.

    2) Sobrang useful ng mga tips ni Jay sa Youtube na 2 hours. Expert talaga siya sa scoring. Better na panoorin niyo po nang buo yun para maabsorb niyo fully pero kung may time constraints ito yung nagawa kong summary nun.






    3) During practice, dapat realistic yung simulation ng exam room set-up. Wear headphones (thankfully dumating yung akin 2 days before exam date), play BG noise, normalize na may magulo sa paligid (in my case yung 2 toddlers kong pamangkin) and wear face mask. Para sakin napakachallenging po nung nakafacemask kasi given na may oras yung exam nung practice feeling ko malalagutan ako ng hininga sa RA, RS, DI at RL. Mahalaga na sa practice nadidiscover niyo na po weakness/es niyo para maitama o maimprove pa kesa sa actual exam mo na malaman.

    4) Practice. Practice. Practice. May nabasa po ako somewhere na hindi ka dapat maging complacent na kaya mo na kaya di ka na magpapractice kasi kung talagang magaling daw sa English bakit di mag-IELTS. Sana wag po mahurt dito kasi totoo po ito bilang pareho ko na din natake both exams mas madali talaga ang PTE basta tama at sapat na practice. Saka mahal po yung exam fee na 10-12K kaya practice lang po kaya yan.

    Bumili po ako ng APEUni VIP pass: Nasa PhP 800 good for 30 days. Naka-2 mock test ako dito pero ang target ko talaga at least 10 pero dahil sa change of plans umikli yung time ko magmock exam. Apr 02 po kasi orig sched ko eh worried ako baka di ko masustain momentum kaya pinalipat ko nung Mar 21. Pasalamat nalang ako at maganda resulta ng pambubudol ng pamilya ko sakin na ipalipat ko na.

    Eto po link nun: https://www.apeuni.com/en

    P.S. As my way of paying it forward, pwede ko po ipahiram sa first 3 people na nagtitipid yung account ko sa APEUni. Comment or PM lang po. Pag-usapan niyo nalang po siguro yung scheduling ng gamit para makapagpractice mabuti.

    Inavail ko din po yung free mock tests sa mga sites na ito .

    https://www.79score.com/ (1 free complete mock test)
    https://www.languageacademy.com.au/auth/login (1 free per subtest and 1 free complete mock test)

    5) Kung may oras pa po, manood ng PTE videos sa Youtube (Sonny English, Jimmyssem, Jay, Moni etc). Nakatulong din po to sakin sobra.

    6) Focus. Totoo po yung sinasabi nung iba na madaming pwedeng mangyari during exam kaya dapat ready ka. Nung nagmamock-exam ako nadidistract ako ng mga pamangkin ko at may times na may nasiskip akong parts kasi kailangan ko sila silipin. During exam, yung masasabi kong related dito eh yung di maiiwasan na may mga co-examinees kang mapapatingin sayo o di kaya ikaw ang macucurious sa ginagawa nila kaya dapat focus ka lang at mind your own business. Meron din po kahapon naririnig ko intro ng mga katabi ko syempre di mo maiwasan makinig kasi nakakarelate ka sa kanila. Nasa first 10 ako ng examinees sa PM batch at pagpasok ko sa room nagtataka ko bakit wala pa nagsisimula eh may mga nauna na sakin. Nagfocus nalang ako sa ginagawa ko at 5 times ko po chineck yung mic kasi may mga ilang tries ako na sabog boses ko. Tama po sila na di pa naman po magstart oras basta wala ka pa sa RA portion.

    7) Maghanap ng matinding motivation. Bakit at para kanino mo ba ginagawa to? Sa una nakakapressure talaga pero makakatulong na slowly maayos mo yung mind setting mo. During review, inisip ko lahat ng mga pinagdaanan kong hirap sa exams nung college at pati na din sa trabaho kaya pag inaatake ko ng kaba iniisip ko nalang di ako dapat sumuko kasi may mas mahihirap pa kong mga pagsubok na nalampasan na. Saka di ko ineentertain yung idea na matitigil ako sa EA assessment dahil sa English exam. Mahalaga po na mapalakas mo loob mo kasi ikaw lang lahat magsasagot sa day ng exam. During exam, inisip ko naman po na nasa prison cell ako at kailangan kong makalabas kaya kahit talagang sumasabog puso ko sa kaba di ako nagpatalo inisip ko na kailangan ko matapos na dito sa paghihirap na to.

    8) Magdasal. Nung college may kasabihan po sa Faculty namin na Aral.Puso.Tiwala.Dasal. During practice at sa exam mismo yan po ang lagi ko iniisip na di ako pababayaan ng Diyos kasi alam niya na binigay ko best ko kaya nagtiwala talaga ko sa Kanya.

    9) Iwasan mastress during exam day. Muntikan na po ako dito madali kasi nagcommute lang ako from Bulacan to Makati almost 3 hrs 1-way lang. Buti maaga ko umalis 9 am lang pero mga 11:45 ako dumating sa testing site kaya kumain muna ko. Mahalaga po talaga na makarelax kayo at least 1 hr before magsimula exam para nasa kondisyon isip niyo.

    Good luck po sa future takers!!! Kayang-kaya niyo po yan. Kung kinaya namin, mas kaya niyo. Laban lang!!!

    Hi po, congrats po on passing the PTE exam and thank you for sharing your tips. Anong headset po pala pinangpractice niyo po sa mock-up tests? I'm worried di macapture ng ayos yung akin pag phone earphones lang po gamit ko. Also, worth it po ba yung VIP subscription ng APEuni?

    Hello @mikelle nung first 2 weeks ko pong nagrereview nakaearphones lang din ako na regular at masasabi ko nacacapture naman pero mababa kasi talaga magscore lalo yung APEUni. Bale nagamit ko yung headset ko 2 days nalang before exam ko pero irerecommend ko pa din na magheadset kasi slightly tumaas scores ko sa speaking nung naka-headset na. Sa Shopee ko po nabili yung headset ko last March 15: https://shopee.ph/product/55502962/925050987?smtt=0.66923267-1647282444.5&fbclid=IwAR2XQDQ25ntXFMBJxLvH66OI41x1927Pstb8a402rm5htETyBmV_b-xJePw. And yes irerecommend ko din po iavail niyo yung APEUni kasi unli mock tests dun. May separate practice test pa per exam. Para sakin nakatulong na mahihirap yung RS, FITB at RO practice tests dun kasi same level of difficulty naencounter ko kahapon kaya mabuti nakaadjust na ko. Legit mahirap yung FITB at RO na natapat kahapon kaya 15 secs nalang natira sakin sa Reading part muntikan pa di ko matapos hinulaan ko nalang yung last item na MCSA. Pero nung mock exams never nangyari sakin na ganun kadikit bago ko matapos yung reading part. Kaya practice lang po talaga ang key para magamay lahat ng type of exam mapa-mahaba o maikli man. Ayan po sana makatulong.

Ayoko na kasi maulit yung sa IELTS experience ko dati na di ko nabigay best ko dahil kasabay ng pagrereview ko para sa certification exam namin. Mas effective po sakin yung alternate days na aral tapos rest kinabukasan and so on. Eto po yung kalendaryo na ginamit ko para mamonitor ko progress ko. Pero kung mas effective mo sa inyo yung 2-3 hours daily wala pong problema ang mahalaga may progress ka.

    May konting inedit lang po pala ko sa templates ng essay at SWT. Feel free to use po or edit kung gusto niyo.

    2) Sobrang useful ng mga tips ni Jay sa Youtube na 2 hours. Expert talaga siya sa scoring. Better na panoorin niyo po nang buo yun para maabsorb niyo fully pero kung may time constraints ito yung nagawa kong summary nun.






    3) During practice, dapat realistic yung simulation ng exam room set-up. Wear headphones (thankfully dumating yung akin 2 days before exam date), play BG noise, normalize na may magulo sa paligid (in my case yung 2 toddlers kong pamangkin) and wear face mask. Para sakin napakachallenging po nung nakafacemask kasi given na may oras yung exam nung practice feeling ko malalagutan ako ng hininga sa RA, RS, DI at RL. Mahalaga na sa practice nadidiscover niyo na po weakness/es niyo para maitama o maimprove pa kesa sa actual exam mo na malaman.

    4) Practice. Practice. Practice. May nabasa po ako somewhere na hindi ka dapat maging complacent na kaya mo na kaya di ka na magpapractice kasi kung talagang magaling daw sa English bakit di mag-IELTS. Sana wag po mahurt dito kasi totoo po ito bilang pareho ko na din natake both exams mas madali talaga ang PTE basta tama at sapat na practice. Saka mahal po yung exam fee na 10-12K kaya practice lang po kaya yan.

    Bumili po ako ng APEUni VIP pass: Nasa PhP 800 good for 30 days. Naka-2 mock test ako dito pero ang target ko talaga at least 10 pero dahil sa change of plans umikli yung time ko magmock exam. Apr 02 po kasi orig sched ko eh worried ako baka di ko masustain momentum kaya pinalipat ko nung Mar 21. Pasalamat nalang ako at maganda resulta ng pambubudol ng pamilya ko sakin na ipalipat ko na.

    Eto po link nun: https://www.apeuni.com/en

    P.S. As my way of paying it forward, pwede ko po ipahiram sa first 3 people na nagtitipid yung account ko sa APEUni. Comment or PM lang po. Pag-usapan niyo nalang po siguro yung scheduling ng gamit para makapagpractice mabuti.

    Inavail ko din po yung free mock tests sa mga sites na ito .

    https://www.79score.com/ (1 free complete mock test)
    https://www.languageacademy.com.au/auth/login (1 free per subtest and 1 free complete mock test)

    5) Kung may oras pa po, manood ng PTE videos sa Youtube (Sonny English, Jimmyssem, Jay, Moni etc). Nakatulong din po to sakin sobra.

    6) Focus. Totoo po yung sinasabi nung iba na madaming pwedeng mangyari during exam kaya dapat ready ka. Nung nagmamock-exam ako nadidistract ako ng mga pamangkin ko at may times na may nasiskip akong parts kasi kailangan ko sila silipin. During exam, yung masasabi kong related dito eh yung di maiiwasan na may mga co-examinees kang mapapatingin sayo o di kaya ikaw ang macucurious sa ginagawa nila kaya dapat focus ka lang at mind your own business. Meron din po kahapon naririnig ko intro ng mga katabi ko syempre di mo maiwasan makinig kasi nakakarelate ka sa kanila. Nasa first 10 ako ng examinees sa PM batch at pagpasok ko sa room nagtataka ko bakit wala pa nagsisimula eh may mga nauna na sakin. Nagfocus nalang ako sa ginagawa ko at 5 times ko po chineck yung mic kasi may mga ilang tries ako na sabog boses ko. Tama po sila na di pa naman po magstart oras basta wala ka pa sa RA portion.

    7) Maghanap ng matinding motivation. Bakit at para kanino mo ba ginagawa to? Sa una nakakapressure talaga pero makakatulong na slowly maayos mo yung mind setting mo. During review, inisip ko lahat ng mga pinagdaanan kong hirap sa exams nung college at pati na din sa trabaho kaya pag inaatake ko ng kaba iniisip ko nalang di ako dapat sumuko kasi may mas mahihirap pa kong mga pagsubok na nalampasan na. Saka di ko ineentertain yung idea na matitigil ako sa EA assessment dahil sa English exam. Mahalaga po na mapalakas mo loob mo kasi ikaw lang lahat magsasagot sa day ng exam. During exam, inisip ko naman po na nasa prison cell ako at kailangan kong makalabas kaya kahit talagang sumasabog puso ko sa kaba di ako nagpatalo inisip ko na kailangan ko matapos na dito sa paghihirap na to.

    8) Magdasal. Nung college may kasabihan po sa Faculty namin na Aral.Puso.Tiwala.Dasal. During practice at sa exam mismo yan po ang lagi ko iniisip na di ako pababayaan ng Diyos kasi alam niya na binigay ko best ko kaya nagtiwala talaga ko sa Kanya.

    9) Iwasan mastress during exam day. Muntikan na po ako dito madali kasi nagcommute lang ako from Bulacan to Makati almost 3 hrs 1-way lang. Buti maaga ko umalis 9 am lang pero mga 11:45 ako dumating sa testing site kaya kumain muna ko. Mahalaga po talaga na makarelax kayo at least 1 hr before magsimula exam para nasa kondisyon isip niyo.

    Good luck po sa future takers!!! Kayang-kaya niyo po yan. Kung kinaya namin, mas kaya niyo. Laban lang!!!

    Sir, saan po kayo nagpractice ng reading? Yun sa repeat sentence po saan din kayo nagppractice? Thanks

    Oras naman po para magshare ako ng mga naging useful tips, techniques or practices ko while practicing and during exam.

    Sinunod ko lang po lahat ng tips ni @chemistmom. Sa dami po ng available templates online pati mga tips talagang nakakaoverwhelm pero kailangan mong mamili ng format na kumportable ka. Magtiwala po kayo talagang effective format nila Jimmyssem. Andito na po lahat ng mga tips na makakatulong sayo makuha desired scores mo: https://pinoyau.info/discussion/4233/pte-academic/p693.

    Sir, saan po kayo nagpractice ng reading? Yun sa repeat sentence po saan din kayo nagppractice? Thanks

    Hello po @gigace para sa reading practice ko mostly sa APEUni ako nagbabad kasi dun talaga ko nagtatagal sa FITB at ROS parts kasi nahihirapan ako. Pero nagmock-exam din po ako sa 79score at Language Academy kaya napractice ko din kahit papano reading parts dun. Sa repeat sentence, same sa APEUni, 79Score at Language Academy ako nagpractice tapos madalas din ako sa Youtube videos lalo kila Jimmyssem, Jay at dun sa Language Academy. Minsan sinisilip ko din videos sa RS ni Moni. Helpful sakin din kasi naexpose ako sa iba't ibang English accent. Di ko alam kung ganun din yung iba pero ako hirap intindihin pag lalaki speaker kesa pag babae kasi mas slang. Itong RS po talaga pinakahirap ako pero tip lang po sa actual exam even sa mock exam tuloy tuloy ka lang magsalita kahit marealize mo may mali ka o wrong grammar kasi makakabawi ka sa fluency pag tuloy tuloy nagsasalita kesa tama nga content eh long pause or stutter naman. Tama po na mag-allot kayo madaming time sa RS kasi challenging yan. Good luck po!

    Hi po, congrats po on passing the PTE exam and thank you for sharing your tips. Anong headset po pala pinangpractice niyo po sa mock-up tests? I'm worried di macapture ng ayos yung akin pag phone earphones lang po gamit ko. Also, worth it po ba yung VIP subscription ng APEuni?

    Hello @mikelle nung first 2 weeks ko pong nagrereview nakaearphones lang din ako na regular at masasabi ko nacacapture naman pero mababa kasi talaga magscore lalo yung APEUni. Bale nagamit ko yung headset ko 2 days nalang before exam ko pero irerecommend ko pa din na magheadset kasi slightly tumaas scores ko sa speaking nung naka-headset na. Sa Shopee ko po nabili yung headset ko last March 15: https://shopee.ph/product/55502962/925050987?smtt=0.66923267-1647282444.5&fbclid=IwAR2XQDQ25ntXFMBJxLvH66OI41x1927Pstb8a402rm5htETyBmV_b-xJePw. And yes irerecommend ko din po iavail niyo yung APEUni kasi unli mock tests dun. May separate practice test pa per exam. Para sakin nakatulong na mahihirap yung RS, FITB at RO practice tests dun kasi same level of difficulty naencounter ko kahapon kaya mabuti nakaadjust na ko. Legit mahirap yung FITB at RO na natapat kahapon kaya 15 secs nalang natira sakin sa Reading part muntikan pa di ko matapos hinulaan ko nalang yung last item na MCSA. Pero nung mock exams never nangyari sakin na ganun kadikit bago ko matapos yung reading part. Kaya practice lang po talaga ang key para magamay lahat ng type of exam mapa-mahaba o maikli man. Ayan po sana makatulong.

    Thank you po @Unsullied_06. Another question po pala, nag-avail po ba kayo ng paid mock-up test ng official PTE mismo? may kamahalan po kasi ito kaya I'm having second thoughts.

    Opo medyo mahal nga sa 1.8-2K. Di ko na po naavail yung official PTE mock exam mismo kasi (1) kulang na ko sa oras at (2) madami na masyado yung mock tests sa APEUni plus may 2 sites pa na free yung mock test kaya info overload na ko. Pero nabasa ko po dati sa thread kung gusto mo ng mas reliable scoring para maassess mo performance mo eh better if iavail mo nga yung official PTE mock exam. Pero irecommend ko din po unahin mo muna icheck yung 3 sites na nilista ko sa previous threads kasi ako satisfied na sa scoring feedback ng Language Academy kasi detalyado at close naman sa actual scoring kaya nalaman ko na standing ko. Sayang naman po kasi pag iavail niyo agad yung PTE mock test tapos di rin po masulit. Ayan po.

    Hi po, congrats po on passing the PTE exam and thank you for sharing your tips. Anong headset po pala pinangpractice niyo po sa mock-up tests? I'm worried di macapture ng ayos yung akin pag phone earphones lang po gamit ko. Also, worth it po ba yung VIP subscription ng APEuni?

    Hello @mikelle nung first 2 weeks ko pong nagrereview nakaearphones lang din ako na regular at masasabi ko nacacapture naman pero mababa kasi talaga magscore lalo yung APEUni. Bale nagamit ko yung headset ko 2 days nalang before exam ko pero irerecommend ko pa din na magheadset kasi slightly tumaas scores ko sa speaking nung naka-headset na. Sa Shopee ko po nabili yung headset ko last March 15: https://shopee.ph/product/55502962/925050987?smtt=0.66923267-1647282444.5&fbclid=IwAR2XQDQ25ntXFMBJxLvH66OI41x1927Pstb8a402rm5htETyBmV_b-xJePw. And yes irerecommend ko din po iavail niyo yung APEUni kasi unli mock tests dun. May separate practice test pa per exam. Para sakin nakatulong na mahihirap yung RS, FITB at RO practice tests dun kasi same level of difficulty naencounter ko kahapon kaya mabuti nakaadjust na ko. Legit mahirap yung FITB at RO na natapat kahapon kaya 15 secs nalang natira sakin sa Reading part muntikan pa di ko matapos hinulaan ko nalang yung last item na MCSA. Pero nung mock exams never nangyari sakin na ganun kadikit bago ko matapos yung reading part. Kaya practice lang po talaga ang key para magamay lahat ng type of exam mapa-mahaba o maikli man. Ayan po sana makatulong.

    Thank you po @Unsullied_06. Another question po pala, nag-avail po ba kayo ng paid mock-up test ng official PTE mismo? may kamahalan po kasi ito kaya I'm having second thoughts.

    Opo medyo mahal nga sa 1.8-2K. Di ko na po naavail yung official PTE mock exam mismo kasi (1) kulang na ko sa oras at (2) madami na masyado yung mock tests sa APEUni plus may 2 sites pa na free yung mock test kaya info overload na ko. Pero nabasa ko po dati sa thread kung gusto mo ng mas reliable scoring para maassess mo performance mo eh better if iavail mo nga yung official PTE mock exam. Pero irecommend ko din po unahin mo muna icheck yung 3 sites na nilista ko sa previous threads kasi ako satisfied na sa scoring feedback ng Language Academy kasi detalyado at close naman sa actual scoring kaya nalaman ko na standing ko. Sayang naman po kasi pag iavail niyo agad yung PTE mock test tapos di rin po masulit. Ayan po.

    Thank you for sharing! Good luck po on your application. :smile:

    My time to share some tips for PTE dahil alam ko na madami ding nagbabasa at naghahanap ng tips dito tulad ko. I took the exam yesterday in Makati at 9AM and got the result by 5PM. 21 days, 2hours/day ako nag-aral using APEuni app at YouTube.

    Since limited lang po ang oras ko pagrereview, hindi na ako nagtry magsagot sa APEuni app, ang binabasa ko na po dito ay yung answers. Pag nabasa ko na yung mga sagot, saka ko sasagutan para macheck kung naaalala ko yung mga sagot. Makakasave ka ng time dito at iwas lito din kasi ang maaalala ng utak mo yung sagot na nabasa mo. (gets po ba? hehe)

    SPEAKING

    Read Aloud - yung techniques ni Jay at Jimmyssem ang sinunod ko dito, yung babasahin mo na magkadikit yung dalawang words like it is --> itis at kind of --> kindof. Yung mga -tion ang dulo, ginawa ko lang -shan example nation --> neyshan. Bukod don, wala na, nilakasan ko lang ang boses ko at hindi ko binilisan ang pagsasalita ko. Nagkamali ako dito ng siguro less than 5 words, may mga naskip ako.

    Repeat Sentences - pag nagdadrive ako papunta at pauwi sa work, pag naliligo, nagliligpit ng plato, nagluluto, etc., pineplay ko lang yung videos ni Jimmyssem, eto ang links:

    https://bit.ly/3h4V8rp
    https://bit.ly/3LQIOZP

    Kaunti lang ang lumabas mula sa mga samples na galing sa YT pero malaking tulong yung pakikinig sa mga examples kasi matututo kang magcapture ng message. Madami ako naging mali dito sa totoo lang, siguro mga around 20 words ako sumablay, pero dirediretso lang ang salita ko as if confident ako sa mga sinasabi ko.

    Describe Image and Retell Lecture: Jimmyssem template all the way, wag na magduda, gumagana siyang talaga. :wink:

    Eto po yung link: https://bit.ly/3LJlP2S

    Answer Short Question : APEuni app - again, hindi na ako nagtry magsagot, binasa ko lang mga sagot para makasave sa oras, ginawa ko lang eto hours before the exam

    WRITING

    Summarize Written Text : nabasa ko lang din po dito sa site, Singh PTE Classes ang ginamit ko, sobrang dali ng template niya.

    Eto po ang link: https://bit.ly/3JHqrEX

    Write Essay: Skills PTE Academic, minemorize ko ang template. Madali mo lang mamemorize kapag lagi ka nagpapractice.

    Eto po ang link: https://bit.ly/3h27sbS

    Sa writing skills, matataas po yung scores ko sa APEuni app at nung nagmock exam ako sa PTE naka 90 ako, hehe. Kaya maniwala ka dyan para mabawasan na intindihin mo hehe :smiley:

    READING

    APEuni App lang ginamit ko dito - uulitin ko po, diretso na po kayo sa mga sagot para yun na yung unang pumasok sa memory niyo. Pag sinubukan niyo pa kasi siya sagutan sa una, macoconfuse pa kayo kapag inulit niyong sagutan. May pailan-ilan na lumabas sa exam galing sa APEuni App. Nagplay safe din po ako sa Multiple Answers, isa lang ang pinili kong sagot kasi Right minus Wrong po dito. Sa Reorder Paragraph, maganda po yung tricks ni Jimmyssem: https://bit.ly/34TabCa

    LISTENING

    Summarize Spoken Text - nabasa ko lang po dito sa group yung template:

    The speaker was mainly discussing KEYWORD 1.
    Firstly, he/she mentioned KEYWORD 2.
    He/She then talked KEYWORD 3.
    In addition, he/she discussed KEYWORD 4.
    Moreover, he/she described KEYWORD 5.
    Finally, he/she concluded KEYWORD 6.

    Pag madami pa kayo nakuhang keywords, pwede pa kayo magdagdag ng mga verbs like said, raised, etc.

    Multiple Choice (Multiple and Single Answers), Highlight Correct Summary - wala na ko time magpractice para dito, nakinig na lang ako sa mismong exam. Nagplaysafe lang din ako sa multiple answers, isa lang ang pinili ko.

    Fill in Blanks - hindi na din ako nakapagpractice dito. Habang nagsasalita, sinasabayan ko yung speaker at binabasa ko na din sa utak yung mga words. Concentration is the key. Gamit ka din ng TAB sa keyboard instead of using mouse kapag lilipat ka na sa next blank para hindi mawala ang focus mo.

    Highlight Incorrect Words - APEuni App lang, masaya 'tong part na to. Medyo tricky. Pero favorite ko 'to. Tulad nung sa FIB, habang nagsasalita, sinasabayan ko yung speaker at binabasa ko na din sa utak yung mga words. Concentration is the key.

    Write from Dictation - Type directly sa keyboard. Yung first two/three letters lang nung words ang itype para makasunod sa speaker. Kapag hindi ka sure, itype mo pareho ang sagot kasi walang negative markings dito. For example eto ang sinabi: His academic supervisor called in to see him last night.

    Habang nakikinig ganito lang naitype ko:
    Hi aca sup cal in to see him last night. (yung dulo ang nabubuo) tapos babalikan ko na lang:
    His academic supervisor called in to see him last night.

    Tapos kung di ka sure kung supervisor o supervisors, itype mo pareho:
    His academic supervisor supervisors called in to see him last night.

    Tips yan ni Jimmyssem: https://bit.ly/33HGPpG

    Other tips:

    1. Purchase APEuni - I availed VIP 30 days for 14USD. May Mock Exams na din sila.
    2. Practice PTE Mock Exam if you still have budget. I took two mock exams para lang macheck kung gumagana ba yung template ng WRITING. Mababa ang nakuha kong scores sa Speaking (54 and 60 lang), siguro dahil sa headset na gamit ko. Dahil mababa ang grades ko, pinagdudahan ko din tuloy yung template ni Jimmyssem sa DI at Retell Lecture pero pinili ko pa ding magtiwala sa mga nagpatotoo dito. Hehe
    3. REST on the day or night before the exam. Hindi ako nag-aral, naghotel pa kami malapit sa Trident para lang fresh na fresh ako sa araw ng exam. Hehe
    4. Kumain ka na bago ka pumunta sa exam site kasi walang kainan don sa building. May malapit na 711. Dahil mahilig ako magkape, may baon ako coffee at ininom ko yun bago pumasok sa room pampaboost hehe.
    5. Arrive 30mins before your scheduled time kasi may mga registration pang gagawin. I-ooff din ang cellphone bago pumasok sa testing area kaya sabihan mo na yung asawa mo bago ka pumasok. Bawal din ang alahas kaya wag ka na magsuot ng kahit ano kasi huhubarin mo din yan. Pwede ang jacket basta walang laman. Bawal ang panyo. Passport at locker key (kung saan mo ilalagay ang mga gamit mo) lang ang bitbit mo sa loob ng room.
    6. Maingay sa testing area. Kaya pag nagmomock test ako, nagpplay ako ng background noise para masanay ako sa ingay. Eto ang link: https://bit.ly/3IcnhIT
    7. Make yourself comfortable. Tinagalan ko talaga yung pagsisimula ko. Paulit ulit ko tinest yung mic ko at matagal ako doon sa instructions part dahil gusto ko lang marelax muna bago magstart. Naginhale exhale muna ako dito at nagconcentrate sa screen. Hanggat hindi ka pa nagseself introduction, hindi pa nagstart yung 2 hours mo kaya icondition mo muna sarili mo. :blush:
    8. Last but not the least, PRAY. Kung hindi will ni Lord, kahit anong aral ko, hindi ko yan kayang ipasa. Pero kapag sinabi Niya, ibibigay Niya yan sa akin.

    Everyday, bago ako magreview, I recite Jeremiah 29:11-12:
    "For I know the plans I have for you, declares the LORD, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope. Then you will come upon me and come and pray to me and I will hear you."

    Tapos sinasabayan ko pa ng Luke 1:45:
    "And blessed is she who believed that there would be a fulfillment of what was spoken to her from the Lord."

    Competent lang ang kelangan kong score pero nirequest ko kay Lord na Superior. He's indeed very faithful to His promises!!! THANKS BE TO GOD!
