PTE ACADEMIC

marvinreds

salamat po sa mga sagot. parang nabawasan ako ng malaking tinik ng malaman na working pa daw ung template ni jimmy sa DI at RL.
sa WFD, sabi ni Jay, wala daw sinabi ang PTE regarding sa order ng words sa sentence (unlike RS). pati ung additional words, sabi niya kung di sure, mas mabuti na magdagdag ng words lalo kung di sure sa prepositions (in at or for). sa prepositions kasi ako madalas magkamali sa WFD huhu. parang caveat pero parang same sila ng sinabi ni jimmy dito.
Sa May pa po ako mag PTE, sana effective pa din mga templates. balak ko gamitin template ni Jimmy sa DI, RL, WE. Need lang check everyday sa youtube ung mga comments, madalas kasi sa comments sinasabi working pa daw.

@Unsullied_06 @chemistmom question po, pwede po bang pagkarating ko sa station ko at prior start of self intro, isulat ko na po yung templates on my erasable notepad para babasahin ko na lang siya when I get to those parts? This is just to make sure na continuous pagsasalita ko and di ko mamissed out mga words sa template during the actual exam.

Hello po, ang ginawa ko po ginamit ko yung remaining time ko pagpapractice ng Read Aloud sa pagsusulat ng template ko for Describe Image.

Siguro mga 3 questions ng Read Aloud, habang hindi pa time ko ng pagsasalita, nagsusulat ako ng template.

Basta sa Read Aloud make sure 5 secs before the GO Signal, binabasa mo na sa isip mo yung 1st 3-5 words ng sentences para maganda yung start mo.

Ayun Ma'am @mikelle maganda din po tip ni Ma'am @chemistmom siguro po subukan niyo pareho ngayong practice para malaman mo kung san ka mas kumportable. Ako po kasi sa RA dun lang nagfocus muna kasi binabasa ko at least 1 buo sa practice time minsan 2x pa nga pag maikli lang yung paragraph. Personal choice ko naman po yun kasi may ibang words na nakakabulol talaga lalo pag scientific yung context parang 2 po yung natapat sakin na ganun tanda ko.

Di ko po kaya magwrite ng templates on the RA part @chemistmom nakafocus din po kasi ako sa babasahin, minsan kasi may tongue twisters. hehe. @Unsullied_06 pwede po kaya yung part after ng introduction, yung 2 minutes lead time prior start of speaking? or wala po ba yung ganun sa actual exam? sa ApeUni mock-up po kasi may mga 2mins pauses in between subtests.

Also, I've got less than 2 weeks na lang po bago ang exam ko, overall grade on mock-up na nakukuha ko right now sa ApeUni is 75. Tama po ba na mababa talaga scoring ni ApeUni on speaking? ayaw niya ng format ni Jimmyssem on DI and RL.

Stress din po ako sa reading. literal na nauubos oras ko kakabasa. hehe. laging 72 lang po grade ko

Hello Ma'am @mikelle better po talaga pag kabisado niyo na yung template during practice sa RL at DI kasi wala pong 2 mins pause after intro diretso RA na agad kung tama ako nang tanda. And yes agree po ako madaming words na mahirap ipronounce o nakakabulol sa RA lalo pag scientific yung content kaya maganda po pag ready kayo sa kahit anong pwedeng lumabas. Normal lang po mababa score sa ApeUni lalo sa Speaking part. During practice puro competent lang scores ko pati sa 79 score pero nung exam day Proficient po nakuha ko.

hi po @Unsullied_06 sige po. sinasanay ko na rin po sa practice na diretsuhin yung template ni Jimmyssem for DI and RL. For WFD po ba, nakakaapekto po ba sa writing grades pag yung marami tayong words na inenter, like kung di tayo sure kung in or on; student or students, inenter ko po pareho, kaso pansin ko bumaba po yung writing grade ko sa ApeUni.

Sana nga po makakuha po ng superior sa actual exam. Wala ng budget pang-ulit. hehe.

During exam nag enter ako ng words sa mga hindi ko sure nang rinig. Nakapag superior naman po ako.

Thank you. Kinakabahan po kasi ako dahil di nagrereach ng superior yung ibang components during mock-up ko sa ApeUni.

sa WFD, sabi ni Jay, wala daw sinabi ang PTE regarding sa order ng words sa sentence (unlike RS). pati ung additional words, sabi niya kung di sure, mas mabuti na magdagdag ng words lalo kung di sure sa prepositions (in at or for). sa prepositions kasi ako madalas magkamali sa WFD huhu. parang caveat pero parang same sila ng sinabi ni jimmy dito.
Sa May pa po ako mag PTE, sana effective pa din mga templates. balak ko gamitin template ni Jimmy sa DI, RL, WE. Need lang check everyday sa youtube ung mga comments, madalas kasi sa comments sinasabi working pa daw.

Good luck po sa exam. You can do it.

Silent lurker here. Would like to share my experience sa PTE.
Halos 1 week lang preparation ko, sobrang swerte ko nabasa ko tong thread na to week/days before the exam kaya would like to give back by sharing my experience and giving pointers.

Specifically yung post ni @chemistmom talaga yung nagbigay sakin ng confidence sa test.
Halos yun lang rin ginamit kong mga tips kaya parang repeat lang to ng sinabi niya pero post ko na rin para makapagbigay confidence sa ibang magtetake ng exam.

1. Equipment Check - before the start of the exam, make sure gumagana at kumportable ka sa equipment. Adjust yung headset, di ako sanay sa headset na mabigat pero no choice haha. Yung mic, tinest ko several times, nahihinaan ako sa playback sound pero yun lang ginamit ko, kaya naman marecognize ni A.I.

2. Read Aloud - may about 40 seconds ka yata to study the passage before actual recording, check pano magiging flow ng sentences, look out for hard to pronounce words. During these 40 seconds time rin, sinusulat ko na paunti-unti rin yung template ni JimmySem for Describe Image and Retell Lecture sa erasable notepad para tuloy-tuloy mamaya.

3. Repeat Sentence - The most important part of the exam according to many sources. Pinakaimportante dito wag ka ma-uutal, wag ka magsstop. Kapag may di ka naintindihan, palitan mo lang ng "something" para tuloy-tuloy pa rin pag repeat mo ng sentence. Remember, 3pts max lang ang content at 5pts max anf fluency. Mas mahalaga ang fluency.

4. Describe Image - JimmySem template. "The given image is about blah blah blah". Gumagana siya. I think pinakachallenge dito yung maco-conscious ka kasi maririnig ng mga katabi mo na inuulit m lang yung template. Halos lima or anim na beses ko yata inulit yung template for both Describe Image and Retell Lecture.

5. Retell Lecture - as above.

6. Answer Short Question - More on vocabulary ang matetest dito. Mag-guess ka kahit hindi mo alam yung sagot.

7. Summarize Written Text - Ginamit ko yung "albeit but therefore" template pero nung sa exam isang buong paragraph lang yung lumitaw na question sakin.

8. Essay - Ginamit ko yung template ni Jay instead of memorizing isang buong essay kasi wala na akong time to memorize. Sanay naman ako magsulat from responding to office emails. Make sure to use the remaining time to doublecheck your sentence structures, grammar and spelling.

9. Reading & Writing Fill in the Blanks - Don't overthink. Yung mukhang tamang sagot, yun na yun. Be familiar with collocations and yung mga madalas magamit na phrases.

10. Multiple Choice Multiple Answer - Makikita naman sa given text yung mga sagot. I answered multiple choices kasi confident ako sa sagot ko.

11. Re-order Paragraphs - Maganda yung tips ni Jay dito. Independent sentence then hanap ka ng kasunod na sentence na somehow nirereference yung first sentence and so on and so forth. Dalawang questions nakuha ko dito, mahirap yung pangalawa hinulaan ko na lang haha. After re-ordering, read the whole paragraph kung tunog tama.

12. Fill in the blanks - Same tip as Reading & Writing Fill in the Blanks.

13. Multiple Choice Single Answer - Again, makikita sa paragraph yung sagot. Mas madali to kasi isa lang sasagot mo.

14. Summarize Spoken Text - I used one page sa notepad per question. Just scribble away habang nagsasalita yung speaker. I used the common template "The speaker was discussing about.... He then mentioned... He pointed out that .... Finally, he concluded that..." or any variation niyan.

15. Multiple Choice, Multiple Answers - Take notes uli habang nagsasalita yung speaker. That way may mababalikan ka. Still, kailangan mo maintindihan yung overall na sinasabi nung spekaer not just the keywords kasi more on yun yung itatanong dito.

16. Fill in the Blanks - Used "TAB" key to hop between blanks para concentrated ka sa pakikinig. Type as soon as marinig mo yung correct word. Anticipate words based on the context of the sentences.

17. Highlight correct summary - You can use process of deduction to eliminate some choices. Notes pa rin and understanding the overall concept of the paragraph ang key dito.

18. Multiple Choice, Single Answer - dito ako nahirapan kasi magkakaparehas halos yung mga choices. Same advice lang sa MCMA.

19. Select Missing Word - Pure focus sa pakikinig dapat from start to end para may idea ka sa sinasabi ng speaker. Check rin yung timer kung malapit na magend yung nagsasalita. 2 questions yata nakuha ko dito. Dapat naiintindihan mo yung pinapakinggan mo para maconnect mo with the missing word. (Hinulaan ko lang yung isang sagot ko dito)

20. Highlight Incorrect Words - Eto yata pinakamadali na section sa PTE. Click mo lang yung incorrect word habang naririnig mo.

21. Write from Dictation - Type as you listen. Remember to capitalise first word and end with a period. Pag hindi sure sa pluralization, type both words. Hindi rin masama magdagdag ng "the" "on" "in" before words kung hindi ka sure na narinig mo o hindi.

Ayun lang hehe.
I hope nakatulong to.

Hi po, hingi lang po sana ako tips how to improve my listening and reading. Magreretake na kasi ulit ako ng pte since mageexpire na this May. Nagmock test ulit ako with stock knowledge po and mababa ko talaga lagi iyon especially listening kahit nung pte exam ko po muntik na hindi makaabot sa superior. Thank you po.

In my case, I just did kung ano po yung mga recommendations in this thread. For reading and listening, practice is the key rin po. For ROP - useful po tips ni Jimmyssem. Ipractice niyo po regularly lahat ng FIB types and WFD. Make sure to get perfect score or less mistakes sa HIW.

Noted po. During the mock test po sobrang dami pong nung FIB and ayun po parang kulang na sa oras kaya po last items minadali ko na lang po. Copy po sa tips for ROP, WFD and HIW. Should I focus po or kahit least prioritize ko na mga multiple choice to give more time sa mga FIB?

Yes po, ganyan din ako dati kaya practice lang po and learn to manage your time. Least priority po talaga ang multiple choices. Do skimming and scanning lang po to get the thought of the passage and question.

Estimate ko 3 weeks lang talaga yung review ko pero nasa 6-8 hours a day naman ang review ko. Hindi na ako nagbayad ng for mock test dahil guys ang daming sites na may free ang mock test pwede nang pang practice yun. Plus may mga sectional na mock test din kung gusto mo lang sa speaking or reading, etc magfocus. Nasa link sa baba yung link ng mga website na pwede niung gamitin sa pagrereview. Di mo kailangan gumastos pa dahil costly.

Know every task, parang CE board exam lang. From 63 score last 2020, 73 score ko na this April 2022. Nagpapasaamat po ako sa mga nagpopost din po dito sa Pinoy Au sa mga tips and tricks.

Tips and tricks for each task:

1. Read Aloud (Important)- 6 items approx. Smooth pace lang ng pagbigkas sa mga words. Pay attention din sa mga words na pwedeng pagisahin like 'it is' - itis and yung mga may 'tion'- syon sa dulo like nation- nasyon. Practicin na habang nagsasalita ay medyo nakangiti para nakarelax yung bibig at confidence kang nagsasalita. Kapag nagkami, keep going lang. I think may 2-3 akong naibang words pero tinuloy2 ko lang para di bumaba sa fluency and kiniclick ko yung next after 1 sec para tingin ko factor din yun sa fluency.

1. Repeat Sentence (Important) - 10 items approx. Para sakin effective sakin yung at the first half ng sentence, sinusulat ko siya in few letters, then yung last half, minememorise ko siya. Bago mag prompt. Yung minemorise ko binibigkas ko ng 2 beses tapos tingin sa prompter kung magsisimula na ako magsalita tska ko sasabihin yung nakasulat na 1st half at maaalala ko yung secknd half. Medyo mahirap siya pero need lang practice. May mga words din akong mga di nasabi. The more words na maaalala mo the more chances of winning. 😅 Ang gaming at paramihan ng words na mabibigkas. Kapag may di ka matandaan na words sa gitna try to say 'something' para tuloy2 parin ang rhythm at practicin na after mo mabigkas, in one sec, click mo agad yung next para din factor sa fluency. Ito pal yung link na sinunod ko.

1. Describe Image - 4 items approx. Sinunod ko din yung template.
   "The given image is about an interesting topic base on many different categories.

Firstly, we can see that the image can show major points which connect to our society, it is fair to say that it is important.

Finally, KW1, KW2,....."

Ang tips ko lang habang may 30-35 sec remaining isulat ko na sa notepad. In few letters like "T giv img is abt an int top bsd on mny dif cat. 1, we c s img maj pnt wc con t soc, SIIF imp Fin,". Dapat mabilis ka magsulat sa unang item then tingin sa image kung anong pwede mong mabigkas sa image. Binasa ko na lang yung mga nakasulat. Ang mahirap kapag walang nakalagay na words. Kung konti lang nakalagay, medyo bagalabg ang pace nagpagsasalita. Practice makes permanence. Do it 20 times per day para mamemorise mo yung template. Ito pala yung link na sinunod kong template.

4. Retell Lecture- same template with DI, papalitan mang yung image ngg lecture. Write as many words as you can then try to recite all the words after the lecture.
5. Fill in the blank- Reading & Writing (Important) Di ako magaling dito ang tips lang talaga intindihin yung buong paragraph at pilitin yun choice na related sa paragraph. Nasa link na ito yung approach na ginaya ko. Sabi nila kung ano yung maganda rin pakinggan with is tama at halos madadaling words lang ang usually na tamang sagot.

1. Fill in the blank- Reading. Bago piliin yung nasa pool intindihin muna ang buing paragraph. Then tska ka magdecide ng kung anong words ang gagamitin.
2. Multiple choice multiple answers-Reading - Basahin muna ang tanong at mga sagot. Tapos look for the key words sa buong paragraph then dun magcheck kung anong tamang sagot. Yan ang pinaka mabisang paraan para makita agad ang tamang piliin. Wrong answer means -1 deduction points kaya kampanti na kang ako sa isa ko ng sagot para hindi ako maminusan.
3. Multiple choice single answer-Reading- same thing with multiple choice multiple answers.
4. Re-order paragraph- Di ko rin ito masyado gamay pero ang approach na ginawa ko ay nasa link na ito. Kung saan marami syang sinabing pwede iconsider para magmatch ng sentences.

1. Multiple choice multiple answer- Listening- Pay attention lang siguro sa mga choices habang nakikinig, yun pang talaga ang the best tip.
2. Multiple choice single answer- pareho lang sa multiple answers.
3. Select Missing words- madali lang ito medyo, abangan lang habang magend yung prompt.
4. Highlight incorrect words- pinaka enjoy na task kasi madali lang.
5. Word For Dictation (Important)- Ito mahirap talaga pero kailngan lang ng practice. Tip ko: Magpractice ng 40 sentences per day talaga. Life saving din yung technic na 'write everything' dahil walang minus kapag may dinagdag kang words. Kaya kapag di ka sure kung may 's' or 'es', isulat mo pareho. Example: decide decides play plays. Okay lang yun. Walang bawas yun. Ito pala yung link na pinanood ko. Panalo ito.

Set niu na magmock test every week para maaccess nio yung review niu. Then sa last 2 weeks, araw arawin niu magmock test. Para mafamiliarize kau sa type of tasks. Pansin ko lang, halos puro below 60 yung mga nagiging score ko sa mock test pero baka dahil sa head set lang ang ginagamit ko pero yan ang naging result ng pte ko po. One thing din na kailangan mo ay yung time management dahil pwede maubos ang oras mo sa listing at reading dahil may mga time limit yun. So kailangan alam mo kung ilang minuto ka dapat magsagot every question. Isa pa sali din kau sa telegram ng UniApe dahil isasali kau sa mga repeated question predictions weekly and monthly. Kaya niu yan, kung nakaua ng iba, kaya ko rin. Kung nakaya ko, mas kay niu dahil di naman ako magaling magenglish kaya nga pte pinili dahil, kailangan lang practicin ang mga task.

During the exam, do not doubt yourself anymore. Tiwala sa nareview mo, whether ur not ready or ready. Be confidence lang sa pagsagot.

Best time aim high for higher grade. Aim for 80 or 90, para kung sakali man hindi mo maabot atleast mababalang doon at pasado. Dont just aim for 60 kasi may tendency na bumaba ang score mo kaya aim higher palagi. Practicin niu din syempre ang paggamit ng notepad. Ang notepad, bibigyan kau ng parang laminated na booklet size approx. 15x6 inch then bibigyan kau ng 2 white board marker. Sa mga pasmado ang kamay dyan katulad ko, medyo mahirap lang makapagsat dahil nababasa ang susulatan kaya, practicin niu din lalo na sa DI, RL. Dun lang naman niu magagamit yun eh.

Finally, Always pray kada magrereview. Its okay kung di mo namimeet yung need mong scores sa mga mock test, just keep going. One step at a time. If you have questions, you can make a comment here. Looking forward in answering your questions.

Sa wakas makakapag apply nadin ng SV Maraming salamat po sa lahat ng nag bahagi ng tips and strategies dito.

Share ko lang din po ung naging experience ko sa actual PTE exam and some practical tips narin po.

1. Dumating ng maaga. 12:00 pm ang schedule ko pero dumating ako ng 11:10 am dahil may registration and verification pa. Nakapag exam ako 11:30 am kaya mas maaga din ako natapos.

2. Gumamit ng rest room bago pumila sa exam (may CR po sa loob ng test center).

3. (VERY IMPORTANT) I-check ng mabuti yung headset and computer. Ung sa akin kasi hindi gumagana nung unang try ko, pinalitan nila pero hindi parin gumagana, ung pangatlong headset na ipinalit nila ayun gumana na.

4. Mag practice sa medyo maingay na environment, dahil halos sabay sabay mag sasalita ung mga mag eexam sa first part (speaking), and may tendency na mailang or mawala kayo sa focus.

5. Kabisaduhin ung format or ung mismong pag kakasunod sunod ng item types ng PTE exam.

6. Nung ako po ay nag rereview, nag focus po talaga ako sa whole speaking section, mag-kabisa ng template sa writing, FBI - reading and writing, FBI - reading, at write from dictation. Sa reading and listening po napaka halaga ng time management kaya dapat mas mag focus sa mga item types na malaki ang contribution sa points.

salamat sa forums na to, nakasuperior sa first take. thanks sa lahat ng nagshare. try ko din mag share.

1. describe image + retell lecture + writing essay = jimmy templates. walang sense na template pero effective.. nag stutter ako sa retell lecture pero max scores pa din.
2. writing from dictation = type lang ako ng madami, di ko sure yung ibang tense or preposition. kahit magdagdag ng madaming words, wala namang negative points sa additional words.

Silent lurker here. Would like to share my experience sa PTE.
Halos 1 week lang preparation ko, sobrang swerte ko nabasa ko tong thread na to week/days before the exam kaya would like to give back by sharing my experience and giving pointers.

Specifically yung post ni @chemistmom talaga yung nagbigay sakin ng confidence sa test.
Halos yun lang rin ginamit kong mga tips kaya parang repeat lang to ng sinabi niya pero post ko na rin para makapagbigay confidence sa ibang magtetake ng exam.

1. Equipment Check - before the start of the exam, make sure gumagana at kumportable ka sa equipment. Adjust yung headset, di ako sanay sa headset na mabigat pero no choice haha. Yung mic, tinest ko several times, nahihinaan ako sa playback sound pero yun lang ginamit ko, kaya naman marecognize ni A.I.

2. Read Aloud - may about 40 seconds ka yata to study the passage before actual recording, check pano magiging flow ng sentences, look out for hard to pronounce words. During these 40 seconds time rin, sinusulat ko na paunti-unti rin yung template ni JimmySem for Describe Image and Retell Lecture sa erasable notepad para tuloy-tuloy mamaya.

3. Repeat Sentence - The most important part of the exam according to many sources. Pinakaimportante dito wag ka ma-uutal, wag ka magsstop. Kapag may di ka naintindihan, palitan mo lang ng "something" para tuloy-tuloy pa rin pag repeat mo ng sentence. Remember, 3pts max lang ang content at 5pts max anf fluency. Mas mahalaga ang fluency.

4. Describe Image - JimmySem template. "The given image is about blah blah blah". Gumagana siya. I think pinakachallenge dito yung maco-conscious ka kasi maririnig ng mga katabi mo na inuulit m lang yung template. Halos lima or anim na beses ko yata inulit yung template for both Describe Image and Retell Lecture.

5. Retell Lecture - as above.

6. Answer Short Question - More on vocabulary ang matetest dito. Mag-guess ka kahit hindi mo alam yung sagot.

7. Summarize Written Text - Ginamit ko yung "albeit but therefore" template pero nung sa exam isang buong paragraph lang yung lumitaw na question sakin.

8. Essay - Ginamit ko yung template ni Jay instead of memorizing isang buong essay kasi wala na akong time to memorize. Sanay naman ako magsulat from responding to office emails. Make sure to use the remaining time to doublecheck your sentence structures, grammar and spelling.

9. Reading & Writing Fill in the Blanks - Don't overthink. Yung mukhang tamang sagot, yun na yun. Be familiar with collocations and yung mga madalas magamit na phrases.

10. Multiple Choice Multiple Answer - Makikita naman sa given text yung mga sagot. I answered multiple choices kasi confident ako sa sagot ko.

11. Re-order Paragraphs - Maganda yung tips ni Jay dito. Independent sentence then hanap ka ng kasunod na sentence na somehow nirereference yung first sentence and so on and so forth. Dalawang questions nakuha ko dito, mahirap yung pangalawa hinulaan ko na lang haha. After re-ordering, read the whole paragraph kung tunog tama.

12. Fill in the blanks - Same tip as Reading & Writing Fill in the Blanks.

13. Multiple Choice Single Answer - Again, makikita sa paragraph yung sagot. Mas madali to kasi isa lang sasagot mo.

14. Summarize Spoken Text - I used one page sa notepad per question. Just scribble away habang nagsasalita yung speaker. I used the common template "The speaker was discussing about.... He then mentioned... He pointed out that .... Finally, he concluded that..." or any variation niyan.

15. Multiple Choice, Multiple Answers - Take notes uli habang nagsasalita yung speaker. That way may mababalikan ka. Still, kailangan mo maintindihan yung overall na sinasabi nung spekaer not just the keywords kasi more on yun yung itatanong dito.

16. Fill in the Blanks - Used "TAB" key to hop between blanks para concentrated ka sa pakikinig. Type as soon as marinig mo yung correct word. Anticipate words based on the context of the sentences.

17. Highlight correct summary - You can use process of deduction to eliminate some choices. Notes pa rin and understanding the overall concept of the paragraph ang key dito.

18. Multiple Choice, Single Answer - dito ako nahirapan kasi magkakaparehas halos yung mga choices. Same advice lang sa MCMA.

19. Select Missing Word - Pure focus sa pakikinig dapat from start to end para may idea ka sa sinasabi ng speaker. Check rin yung timer kung malapit na magend yung nagsasalita. 2 questions yata nakuha ko dito. Dapat naiintindihan mo yung pinapakinggan mo para maconnect mo with the missing word. (Hinulaan ko lang yung isang sagot ko dito)

20. Highlight Incorrect Words - Eto yata pinakamadali na section sa PTE. Click mo lang yung incorrect word habang naririnig mo.

21. Write from Dictation - Type as you listen. Remember to capitalise first word and end with a period. Pag hindi sure sa pluralization, type both words. Hindi rin masama magdagdag ng "the" "on" "in" before words kung hindi ka sure na narinig mo o hindi.

Ayun lang hehe.
I hope nakatulong to.

about sa Describe image, nilampas mo ba ng 30 secs ung content mo. ?
