Ngayon ko nalang pala ishare ung ginawa ko po sa review hehe hindi ako makatulog sa sobrang tuwa.

Una po, gusto ko po muna magpa-salamat sa thread na ito. Kung hindi po dahil sa inyo, hindi po ako makakakuha ng tips sa PTE exam ko. Pangalawa po, HUWAG PO KAYO SUSUKO! 6 takes po ako bago ko nakuha yung score na kelangan ko. Kung hindi niyo po makuha sa una, ikalawa, ikatlo, huwag po kayo panghinaan ng loob. Makukuha niyo rin po yan!

Ito naman po yung mga ginawa ko nun nagrereview po ako:

Speaking
Read Aloud
Malaking tulong po sakin dito yun ApeUni. Practice lang po sa talaga sa ApeUni ang ginawa ko dito. May shadowing din kasi si ApeUni, kaya pwede din po kayo masanay kung papano po yung tamang pag-pronounce ng words and intonation. Nun una, mababa nakukuha ko kay ApeUni sa RA tapos pag pinakingan yung recording ang panget ng output. Pero may settings lang pala sa chrome browser para maging maayos un pag-record ng boses niyo. Kelangan niyo lang po piliin yung tamang input device or yung mic ng computer niyo. iCheck niyo nalang po sa youtube or i-google niyo po kung pano po iset ng tama un mic sa google chrome. After ko po ito magawa, kahit nag-stutter ako sa practice nakakakuha parin ako ng score na above 70 sa ApeUni Read Aloud. Another advice din po, kuha po kayo ng headphone na may maayos na mic. Para masanay din po kayo pagdating sa exam. Nun una po kasi, ang ginagamit ko lang ay yung mga free earphones (pag bumili kayo ng cellphone) na may mic.

Resources:

• APEUni

Repeat Sentence
Dito po, nagpractice muna ako ng WFD. Halos same din kasi po. Kelangan niyo po makuha or matandaan yung sinabi ng speaker. Mas nadadalian din po ako sa WFD nun una kesa sa RS. Kaya sinanay ko po muna yung tenga ko sa WFD. Nun nasanay na ako or natatandaan ko na un sinabi ng speaker, mas nadalian na ako sumagot. Another tip po is iimprove niyo po un fluency. Napansin ko po, mas mataas ang score ng RS kapag fluent po kayo.

Huwag din po kayo manghinayang sa pag-gastos ng subscription fee sa ApeUni or ibang review/practice resources. Sobrang laki bagay po talaga kapag nakakapag-practice kayo sa mga sites na iyan.

Maraming Salamat po!

Sakin ung inaasahan kong reading na sa tingin ko o.k. di rin pala ok. Girl ako pero ung boses ko medyo mababa, parang panglalaki, ang sab daw ni Moni ung boses daw ng babae dapat daw may range ng pitch na meyo mataas kaysa sa lalaki?

Good day! Meron po ba may experience sainyo na nag take ng PTE abroad? Based po kami ng Husband ko sa Qatar and we would like to know kung anong headset and mic ang dapat namin bilhin/gamitin para mas maayos ang practice namin sana. Nung tumawag po ako sa pag exam-an dito sa Qatar, PTE daw po ang magpoprovide ng hardwares and standard daw po pero di nya daw sakin masabi kung ano brand.

Thanks po in advance.

Hello! This is the highest score I got from APEUni after two weeks of practice. I struggled with Speaking talaga but fortunately got my desired score during the actual exam. I think magkaiba kasi ung AI na nagccheck sa APEUni at PTE? PTE was a lot easier as well pero mas madaming items than APEUni. Good luck with your exam!

APEUni scores a little lower. From what I've read in this thread, the PTE is actually more forgiving. Try to backread, alam ko may isang naka-90 all sa PTE pero sa APEUni ay mas mababa lang nakuha nya.

First take and I got 90 overall!!!!!!! Super thank you to everyone who contributed to this thread. To pay it forward, here are the pointers and templates I used in portions I found really challenging. I dedicated most of my time in these areas. Working as of 8/26 test-taking:

Materials: APEUni VIP, PTE Pearson mock tests

SPEAKING
Read Aloud
Practiced a lot in APEUni. Just spoke as naturally and as comfortably, and I found speaking in an Aussie accent (without pronouncing letter r, kasi bulol ako lol) worked for me. That's what I did during the actual PTE exam.

Repeat Sentence
Focused on the message, not just the words. It helped to close my eyes while listening and visualise it or translate in Tagalog in my head.

Describe Image, Retell Lecture
Jimmyssem template:

Yan lang, nothing else—worked perfectly!

Answer Short Question
Ang hihirap ng mga nakuha ko, so I missed three yata and nag-buffer talaga utak ko. So I just guess for the questions I didn't know.

WRITING
Summarise Written Text
35–38 words. I used words from the text, and did not make up my own summary. Kumbaga parang pinick apart ko lang yung text then patched it together in a way that made sense pa rin. Did not use a template.

Essay
I used the APEUni template. But instead of memorising it completely, tinake ko lang yung main points and keywords so I can map the flow of the essay. Hindi ako comfortable using a hard template kasi when writing, mas nalilito ako, so I wanted to have a more flexible approach sa Essay part. Here's what I used (I bolded the keywords that helped me remember the template):

First paragraph: These days, there is substantive controversy among individuals regarding (topic, use the phrase/s from the prompt). The vast majority of people hold that (argument 1), while others strongly believe (argument 2). In my opinion, (thesis statement).

Second paragraph: Firstly, (present reason 1). For instance, a 2017 study from Cambridge University showed that (evidence 1).

Third paragraph: Furthermore, (present reason 2). As a matter of fact, a 2019 study from Harvard University revealed that (evidence 2).

Conclusion: In summary, I hold the view that (thesis statement). To address this issue, society should make an effort to find solutions.

Pointers or flow of essay:
1. Introduce the topic.
2. Introduce possible views.
3. Introduce your personal view.
4. Reason #1 for your view.
5. Example #1.
6. Reason #2 for your view.
7. Example #2.
8. Summary.

I freely changed the verbs to my liking and mga connectors like "as a matter of fact". But lahat ng naka-bold, I kept. I'm fairly comfortable writing so trineat ko na lang na parang school essay na kung anu-ano yung point pero grammatically correct pa rin.

READING
Really just improved with practice here. If I could add something, read the question first before you read the text so you know what you're looking for while reading.

Reorder paragraphs
E2 super method: I'd say this is more about paying attention to the composition of the sentences talaga. Found this tough, but improved with practice.

LISTENING
Summarise Spoken Text
No template, ang baon ko lang ay yung opener na "The speaker mentioned..."

I typed down keywords and key phrases while I listened, so habang kino-compose ko na yung actual answer ay andun na sila sa baba. The list helped kasi kita ko agad yung flow ng message. Just make sure to delete it and to stick to 65–70 words.

Like the SWT portion, I just took those words and phrases tapos patched them up to make a coherent answer. Also limited myself to 3 sentences, kasi that's what worked for me sa PTE Pearson mock tests.

Highlight Correct Summary
Used the countdown to skim the answers muna. That helps you map out the message of each option, para ma-connect mo pag pinakikinggan mo na yung sagot. Some advised not to look at the options first, but I found that the opposite worked for me.

Select Missing Word
Did not look at the options kasi I found them distracting. Instead, I listened intently na lang. In my experience, the missing word/s connect sa message kasi.

Other portions, I just practiced.

Hope this helps future test-takes, and best of luck to you all!!!

Also, in terms of the learning approach: I booked my test 2 months later, kasi 'di ako confident mag-cram. If same kayo na mahaba-haba ang preparation time, and you don't perform well with strict routines, it really helps to alternate study and rest. Napprocess in the back of your mind everything you're learning as you take time off. Just be consistent. I did not have a rigid study schedule, but each time I practiced and studied, I went hard. Then I rested just as hard although when I wasn't studying, I kept my brain active by reading.

@era222 bakit ung SWT kailangan 35-38 words lang. ?

@enrico0919 said:
@era222 bakit ung SWT kailangan 35-38 words lang. ?

I'm not actually sure, yun ang na-pick up ko from this thread na "sweet spot". Nakita ko rin yun kay Jimmyssem if I'm not mistaken (guides like him test out their strategies kasi, kaya sila ang tinitignan for source). But your question is valid, I wondered the same. Siguro one thing to note is sa SWT, you must summarise a whole body of dense text in ONE sentence. So 35–38 words is, in my opinion, reasonable. Kapag lumagpas, baka mahirapan ka rin i-contain yung sagot mo sa iisang sentence without risking grammatical errors, lalo na sa aspeto ng syntax.

Medyo skeptical din ako nung una, kahit na praktisado ko naman sa APEUni and Pearson mock test, kaya nag-test akong kabado. Buti effective, haha!

enrico0919

@era222 ano ginawa mo example ung isang sentence ay mahaba, sinulat mo ba sya ng buo. SWT

era222

@enrico0919 said:
@era222 ano ginawa mo example ung isang sentence ay mahaba, sinulat mo ba sya ng buo. SWT

Yes. One sentence lang ang pwede sa SWT—that's the official instruction sa actual PTE test, na summarise it in one sentence only, so it's not just a strategy.

Here's a sample from my APEUni history:

Written text

My answer (35 words)

It's scored low on APEUni, but same ang approach ko sa actual PTE exam.

yup, I agree with this. Mababa mga nakuha ko sa mga free samples ni APEUNI sa speaking. hehe. Yung mock exam ko e di ko pina-score-an pero i'm sure di aabot ng superior. Having said that, sobrang useful pa rin ni ApeUNI to familiarize yourself with the question types and to practice how to react sa change of pace ng questions.

tmanito

got an overall score of 81

L: 79
R: 85
S: 83
W: 82

2nd take of PTE Academic, first took it last Oct. 2019 and got an overall score of 78. Tips I can give is utilize an exam simulation software if you can so you know yung pacing sa actual exam para di kayo magulat. And also read the instructions in the questions like how many words they expect. I also recommend going through sa videos available sa youtube sa channel ng E2Language.

Hope that helps!
