Hello po ulit, as promised, ito na yung additional tips na isheshare ko para sa future takers ng PTE exam.
Ito bale yung mga binago o dinagdag ko during practice at actual exam.
Speaking Part
RA - Sinagad ko na confidence level. Feeling ko reporter for a day ako at medyo malakas boses ko pero di na ko naconscious. Pag nabulol ako, di ko na cinocorrect tuloy lang sa pagbabasa.
RS - Nakakatawa pero pumipikit ako sa part na to para mas marecall ko yung sinasabi ng speaker. Effective sakin tapos pag sobrang wordy nung sentence intentional ko na di sinasabi yung words na in the end mabubulol lang ako para kahit bawas sa content eh mataas ako sa fluency.
DI, RL - Jimmyssem template all the way. Wag na po kayo magduda gumagana pa as of May 2022.
Writing Part
SWT- Ginamit ko pa din yung Albeit format. Pero ngayon as much as possible di ko pinapalampas ng 35 words kasi during practice mas mataas score ko pag 32 words for example ang ginamit kesa 38 words.
WE- Ginamit ko pa din yung Although such topic format. May mga cinorrect lang akong few grammatical errors sa format sa youtube at pinacheck ko din sa magagaling mag-English na family at friends. Tapos mga 4x ko chineck yung overall grammar: spelling, tenses at punctuations.
Reading Part
FITB R&W-Ako nasa 2-3 mins per item ako dito kasi malaki points. After ko supplyan ng words mabilisan ko binabasa yung full text para makita ko kung may off dun sa buong paragraph. Dito ko nadedetect yung mali sa una kong napiling sagot.
MCMA-Maximum 1 min lang ako dito pag di ko nagets yung passage shotgun ako sa sagot.
ROP-Mahirap pero kaya sa practice. Yung mga linking words at shift from noun to pronoun ang one of the most common clues.
FITB R-Nasa 1-2 mins per item same sa FITB R&W ginawa ko
MCSA-Eto least priority ko okay lang na 1 o 2 mins matira kasi mas okay ka dito magshotgun kesa magsuffer yung 2 FITB parts kakamadali.
Listening Part
SST-Last March ginamit ko yung jimmyssem template ng DI, RL dito pero ngayong May binago ko na. Ang sinunod ko yung the speaker was mainly discussing...format. Better na nasa 60 yung total words kesa close to 50 or 70 based po sa resulta ng mock exams ko nag-eexperiment kasi ko.
MCMA-Nasa 15-20 secs lang ako dito shotgun pag di alam kasi mauubusan oras sa ibang parts.
FITB-Kung fast typer ka better na diretso na magsagot kahit abbreviations muna pero kung average typer ka gaya ko mas effective sakin na sa writing booklet muna magsagot. Listen attentively kasi pambawi to kaya dapat maperfect.
HCS, MCSA, SMW-Same ng diskarte sa MCMA 15-20 secs lang para makapagtira time sa WFD.
HIC-Listen attentively ulit tapos yung cursor isunod sa binabasang words. Ang goal din ay maperfect to para makabawi sa points.
WFD-Intentional na nagtitira ko 6 mins dito pinipilit kayanin kaya binibilisan ko sa previous parts. Ang goal ko kasi at least 2 mins each per question. Ang ginagawa ko after after item 1, 30 secs rest bago ko istart yung item 2 and so on para maclear muna isip ko at maretain lahat para mataas points kong makuha.
Other good practices na pwede ko ishare:
*Watch as many Youtube videos as you can lalo sa RS at WFD parts. Recommended channels ko tong Language Academy at BeatThePTE. Ito yung mga links nung pinanood kong videos kung saan galing yung 3 items sa RS at 2 items sa WFD ko kahapon luckily. Ang diskarte ko po dito, since June 03 exam ko ang pinanood kong videos nila ay May 29-June 04 coverage ng predicted questions. Adjust accordingly nalang po yung dates based on exam date niyo.
WFD
1)
RS
1)
2)
3)
4)
5)
Good luck po sa mga future takers! Gagraduate na din po kayo dyan tiwala lang. Practice at dasal lang talaga.

Hello Sir @bartowski sa SWT bale kinopya ko verbatim yung mga words mismo sa text. Ang ginawa ko lang para mareduce sa 35 words or less eh yung nouns sa 2nd at 3rd sentence ginagawa kong pronouns para umikli pero same lang ng thought.

Yes tama po parang short bond paper size o A4 3 pages po ata yun tapos back to back kaya sulatan na whiteboard at 2 erasable pens din provided nila. Better if sa una palang itry niyo na po yung pens kung sumusulat pag nasa Speaking part para pwede papalitan pag may di sumusulat. And yes po spacious naman yung table kayang kaya makapagsulat nang maayos. Pero make sure lang po sanay kayong gumamit ng mouse during practice palang para di manibago kasi pag laptop na walang mouse baka manibago po kayo sa actual test.

Thanks @Unsullied_06
Nagpa practice na po ako gamit ang mouse at keyboard. Naka mask at background noise din po.hehe, yung writing material lang ang di ko pa nasubukan, papel at ballpen lang gamit ko.
Madami kayo nag exam? Curious lang, pare pareho ba kayo ng question o iba iba naman?Inaantay din ba matapos muna yung lahat ng naunang nag exam bago yung next batch? Sorry, 1st time kasi kaya wala ako idea kung anung magiging setup.

Di ko na po napansin ilan kami kahapon pero estimate ko nasa 20s kami sa 11:30 am slot. Pero nung March na 2:15 pm slot eh parang 30-40 kami exam takers. Unique po yung set of exam per person kasi random magflash yun sa screen niyo. Sa laki ng pool of questions maliit chance na magkamukha kayo.

Sa mga @insullied_06 ng take n ng exam.. ung RS ba ay paiba iba ang tono ng boses ?
Posts: 269Member
Joined: Aug 04, 2019
Ako Sir opo pa-iba iba tono depende kung anong type of sentence yung actual na sinabi nung speaker. In my experience may declarative, imperative at interrogative type of sentence nung exam ko last Fri sa RS part. Ang di ko po sure kung sa pool of questions nila meron din exclamatory. May nabasa po ako dati na makakaapekto sa score yung tono ng pagkakasabi vs monotonous speaking.

Hello, just chiming in, in my case when I took PTE 4 yrs ago, the tone did not affect yung result. pati accent and grammar hindi din. its more of tone suggesting you ended your sentence (ie, period) and dont leave it hanging. never put uhms and ahs as fillers/spaces in between, use words/phrases instead if you are trying to think what to say next. again that was 4 yrs ago but it did work for me.

Retaking my PTE exam this Friday since nagexpire na without an invite (sad!). A few questions:
1) Does anyone have an account in APEUni they can share so that I can practice the full test?
2) Any available parking near Trident tower?
