Congrats po @faceless_man

kymme · December 2015

@se29m ano po ba ung tips mo sa speaking?

se29m · December 2015

@kymme
Maintain a distance of 40-50mm from your mouth to the mic. Make your voice louder, don't mind yung mga kasabay mo nag eexam..
Sa describe image, make sure that you will use the whole 40 seconds. No gaps no stops. Use a template. 3-4 sentences should be enough.
Repeat sentence, close your eyes and try to remember the keywords in the sentence lang..
Re tell lecture dapat may template ka din.. Maximise the 40 seconds time..
Read aloud, you should sound like you are in a declamation.. Or parang investigative journalist na nagkekwento.. Be mindful sa colons, semi colons, commas, full stops etc.maximise the alloted time before the exam..

Kung may nakalimutan ako category, try ko alalahanin

Sa speaking ako laging sablay kaya inabot ako 3rd take...totoo ang tips nila..tuloy tuloy mo lang salita mo lalo na sa retell lecture and sa repeat sentence, practice munang read aloud bago ung recording..

Pansin ko din dagdagan yung vocabulary words...from 60 naging 90 vocabulary ko..nakakataas din sa score

Sa dinami dami ng tips, this is the one that works for me :-)

Hunter_08 · December 2015

@Hunter_08- particularly which area?..try mo assess base sa review mo kung saan ka mahina.. and then doon ka magfocus.. tapos doon mo din malalaman kung bakit ka mahina on that area..

.. yung sa case ko ..asa repeat sentence.. madalas nakakalimutan ko yung mga nahuhuling mga salita sa sobrang bilis ng nagsasalita.... and then napansin ko okay naman yung mga nauunang salita..

example: "There is a class for culinary in the nearby building which is also next to the library".. - madalas nakakalimutan ko ang mga words "next to the library".. kasi nakafocus ako sa unang mga part ng sentence - "There is a class for culinary in the nearby building which is also"...

And then napansin ko kaya ko madalas nakakalimutan kasi nagwowonder ang aking isipan along the 1st sentence... at nawawalan ako ng focus, so nakakalimutan ko na ang mga sumunod pang mga sentence....practice and practice ... try listening to bbc podcast... at isulat mo muna.. pag naisulat mo this means, kaya mo ring bigkasin...

before the exam.. try to have enough sleep.. clear your mind.. I am SG based.. umiinom pa ako ng essence of chicken hehehe.. para maclear ang aking utak before I went to the exam..

Hunter_08 · December 2015

@MisterKehn thanks sa tips mo.. dyan din ako nahihirapan e.. kasi yng sa listening part tlga nadadalian naman ako pero yng sa repeat sentence dun ako mahina.. yup need lng mag practice tlga.. salamat ulit.. SG base din ako...

kymme · December 2015

ng take ako ng mock B kgabi. ang spelling at grammar ko is 22 and 23, respectively. Dun sa mock A which i took last week, both 90 naman ung score ko. Wala naman naiba sa writing style ko. And i make sure before mg next, i always see to it na sakto lahat ng spelling and punctuations.

elord · December 2015

@Hunter_08 try , sa repeat sentence , tama tips nils..CLEAR YOUR MIND , pagkatapos pa lang ng sentence , try mo bigkasin sa sarili mo para nareretain ung mga words...visualize the meaning of each sentence para kahit may malimutan lang word, andon pa din yung concept.

hopeful_mea · December 2015

congrats @elord! tinry ko na rin ang PTE Mock A just now. I thought hindi malunok ang score ko kasi madalas ako nganga sa speaking. Sobrang na.shock ako sa mga pangyayari, ang bilis pala talaga.
L - 71, R - 49, S - 41, W - 82
Push ko na talaga to. Thank you sis @filipinacpa for this thread!

imL · December 2015

@Hunter_08 concentrate lang talaga po. pikit mo mata nalang pagrepeat sentence na para masfocused.

se29m · December 2015

Practice lang guys.. Don't lose hope and concentrate lang.. Isipin lang may goal tayo dapat ma achieve!

elord · December 2015

@hopeful_mea thanks! practice ka pa para di sayang pera...magprepare ka na ng mga spiel mo pag wala ka ng masabi sa retell lecture or repeat sentence....nakaya namin kahit ilang take :-c ..kakayanin mo din! :>

ynnozki · December 2015

it's my turn to share my success story nyahaa..

sa dinami dami ng ielts at PTE na tinake ko, sa wakas nakaraos din! thanks Bro above and @filipinacpa

yes, you heard it right, daming exam na dinaanan ko - [-O<
nakali 5 ielts ako at 2 PTE bago ko to nakuha
ubos ang laman ng bulsa as well as laman ng utak :-O kakareview at kakakumbinsi sa sarili na "hinde ka boplaks sa England ynnozki", yes yan ang pinakamahirap, ang kumbinisihin ang sarili mo na kaya mo pa after a lot of failures

nung ielts, di ko na maalala pang-ilang take ko yun L-) malapit na sa katotohanan, R/L/S=7,W=6.5...sawi ~X( ...saklap di ba...malapit na eh

tapos unang take ko sa PTE October 28, R=77, S/W=71, L=64...
:-L [-O< mas masakit to kuya eddie, kinulang sa dasal...

Dec 8, eto na, dinamihan ko ng dasal at bigay na lahat ng laman ng utak B-) :>
Ayun!!! L=76, R=79, S=86, W=74.....

so sa mga naka-4 ng take, naka-5, naka 6...may pang 7,8,9 pa hehehe..wag mawalan ng pag-asa, hanggat may laman ang bulsa at gusto mo matupad ang pangarap mo, try lang ng try...

shoutout sa 3 pinoy na nakasabay ko sa Sg 12pm Dec8...kund andito rin kayo

Yes, meron din pero computer pa din ang mag c-check ng answers and mas madalas na walang changes. Mahirap yan kasi Reading module yung i-c-contest mo. Fixed ang mga sagot sa Reading compared sa Speaking at Writing kaya most probably walang change na mangyayari... I suggest review na lang ulit at mag retake ng test.

Previous scores ko, merong 63, 64 lalo na yung 78 pero hindi na ko nag appeal.
