@MACINOZ2023 Nung nag-exam ako sa Makati, Logitech yung keyboard. Yung generic na di-USB, parang ganito (not sure if ito talaga yun): https://www.logitech.com/en-ph/products/keyboards/k120-usb-standard-computer.920-002582.html
Yung headset with mic, di ko napansin yung brand. Ang napansin ko lang is heavy-duty sya tapos mabigat.

Sharing my notes and resources here from my last PTE exam this January, hoping po na makatulong
Score: 90 90 84 90
Overall: 90
General tips I did during/while prepping for the test:
- Speak fast, but monotone in read aloud
- Close eyes while listening to repeat sentence
- Practice the official scored tests from Pearson website (accurate score for me, very close sa actual score ko noong exam compared sa APEUni)
- Four fingers difference ang mic from lips
- Use notebook during Re-tell lecture, use keywords as much as you can. Only write keywords.
- During Describe Image, say the title, use words such as 'horizontal and vertical axis' as well as 'highest and lowest points'.
- Keep on speaking during describe image, it doesn't matter even if the image is cut off.
- Be relaxed. Pray.
Review materials
- Jay's youtube videos from E2 language
- Searching "Latest PTE Questions" monthly on Youtube for each segment
- Following PTE Magic on FB Group
- Downloading PTETutorial on phone to practice reading even while on the train, bus and during break time
- Using APEUni's templates and resources
- Official Pearson Scored Test exams (brought all 4)
Blog post I wrote up from my first attempt back in 2020
Before the actual test preparation:
Booking early and picking the ‘right’ exam centre
Since the PTE exam is very in-demand. I think that it is only fair to book your exam early. At least 2 weeks before the day you want to take the exam is a must. For mine, I booked 4 weeks before the actual PTE exam date.
More so, the location where you will be taking your PTE exam should be taken into consideration. Does that PTE centre offer up-to-date gadgets? Do you know how to travel there? Based from surveying people and research, I’ve found that the most recommended centres in Melbourne are RMIT and Boxhill.
Buy headphones with in-built mic in it
For me, this was essential because in the actual PTE exams, they also let the test-takers use headphones with in-built mic in it. This would be useful while taking practice tests online.
Review Time
I did not do any preparations as I downloaded a free Offline Practice Test on Pearson’s official website. I printed it and answered all of it, albeit failing miserably on a lot of sections. From that though, I was able to be familiar with the exam’s structure.
Later on, I realised that it would have been way convenient for me if I have done a free practice test instead on several PTE help websites. These websites offer free practice test that is timed and structured as the actual PTE exam.
Here are two websites I utilised to for free practice tests:
After I’ve done a couple more of free practice tests, I decided to take the challenge to attempt the Scored Practice Test from Pearson’s Official Website. I personally think that taking it from their official website may be more accurate than taking/buying it from PTE help sites.
With a score report, you can finally analyse your weaknesses and strengths in the PTE exam.
Even though I would say that I speak English fluently, having been exposed to the language all my life, I had the lowest score in my Speaking section. This was something that I expected because I seriously flunked while doing the speaking sections of the exams.
While browsing through the internet, I found that E2Language’s tutorials on Youtube were the most useful one. I watched the videos thoroughly and took down notes about strategies I should utilise for the speaking section. At the same time, I also read articles on their blogs.
Aside from watching E2Language’s videos on Youtube, I also did exercises that some Youtube channels offer. Simply search “PTE Latest Exam Questions March 2021” etc. and then numerous videos will come out, particularly focusing on sections that you can work on (such as Repeat Sentence, Write from Dictation, etc.)
Also, I think it would be helpful to download a few PTE apps on your phone. Personally, PTE apps really helped me with the reading section because I found it ‘less boring’ to attempt reading exercise on my phone rather than in my computer. Also, it was more convenient for me because I can attempt reading exercises while I was in the train or waiting for food since it was just on my phone. What I utilised during my preparation was the PTE Plus app.
I would also like to recommend the Panda PTE app, which is useful when you are struggling with the speaking section. They have an advanced feature in their app that scores your speaking and videos on how you can improve it.
As you can see from this table, the sections with most points are: Repeat Sentence, Write from Dictation, Read and Write: Fill in the blanks and Read aloud.
Don’t worry too much if your weakness is one of those sections with little points. Strategise your game plan and work more on those sections that are critical in determining your PTE score.
The Exam Day
The microphone position is REALLY important
Make sure that your microphone is placed properly so the computer would not have trouble getting your answers. During scored practice tests, I utilised different mic positions while taking them and saw that my score in speaking changed in each test. Personally, the mic position that worked for me was putting my mic just on the middle of my chin and mouth.
Arrive early and chat with other test takers
Try to arrive early, even a bit earlier than 30 minutes before since it is more convenient so you don’t have to rush. Also, you might even use a little of that time reviewing a little more with the PTE app in your phone. I also found that having a little chit-chat with other test takers before taking the exam helped me relax and eased off the worries I had.

Pwede ka magtake ng mock exams but not graded sa APEUni as far as I know... Not sure if they still do it pero yung PTETutorialsOnline by Auzzies group nago-offer ng 10 free scored tests dati...
Not sure about that pero based from what I've read before, sa main applicant lang ata applicable yung 12 weeks validity.
"PTEANZ21" yung code na ginamit ko dati at the start of the year to get 10% off sa lahat ng Pearson tests and study materials. Hopefully valid pa yung code.

Can't judge by the scores alone eh, especially for practice tests. Honestly, my scores in the PTE scored practice tests are similar (although I always got low in Speaking, don't recall lang exactly yung score). Pero since Reading is your lowest score, it might be helpful to practice that section.
Also, if you bought a PTE mock test bundle, you might notice na kahit same templates gamitin mo, nagi-iba scoring. 'Di ko alam bakit, pero ayun. Kaya tumigil na ako mag-rely sa scoring sa APEUni/PTE practice. 😅For me, dahil iba pa rin ang actual exam at 'di mahirap din malaman if tama ba ang ginagawa tinurn ko ang focus ko dito:
Good luck sa test and hope this helps!

This is my 3rd time I took the exam. saan kaya ako ngkakamali, S 68 L 80 R 79 W 82.. Sa ngaun nandito ako sa middle east kumukuha ng exam. Same lang din ba kung saan ka ngtake na medyo mahina ung volume during nung practice recording bago mag start ang exam?? Tapos nung 2nd take ko, nasagot ko 9/10 sa RS pero 71 lang score ko sa speaking. Parang ayaw ako palampasin ng 71. May problema ba kaya testing center or may problema ung headphones. Sinubukan ko na malakas ang boses at mdyo mahina bakit ganun pa din score ko.
