Got my results now, and I need 65 in each band. Where should I focus on sections that I can't reach 65 in? ☹️ Any tips please?
Also, based on the second picture for my reqs, does it mean I just need to improve the only bands below 65 in my second test? Please help me understand. I used jimmyssem template for DI, RL, SWT and Essay?

You need to explore a bit with the templates. It's not a one-size-fits-all thing. It depends on your learning style too. If one template didn't work for you the first try, then use another. What is this PTE for, skilled migration or student visa?

Effective pa po ba ang templates ni Jimmyssem for DI, RL, SWT and Essay?

As of my exam last August 4, effective pa. Got superior scores din.

Hi Phoebe, your scores are low. Can you share what preparations have you done? What templates or reviewers did you use?

I used APE UNI app to review, I printed all the schedule or list of test formats. You need to try each and every part of the exam. There are alot of reviewers online to try. Do not just try to study without really feeling how it will go during the exams.

Use templates. Godbless on your review.

Based on my skills, which are currently below 65, on which specific section po kaya should I focus?

Work on:
-summarize written text
-describe image, re-tell lecture
-and all other tasks that fall under Reading (reorder paragraphs, multiple choice single and mult answers).

Kung gagamitin mo templates ni jimmy, make sure magaling ka magkabisado ng bagay bagay.

may gumamit pa ba ng template ni jimmysem DI?

Sinubukan ko gamitin sa kanya nung 2nd take ko. Kinapos padin ako for superior. Pakiramdam ko di ako comfortable sa templates niya I don't know. Kaya nag formulate na lang ako ng sarili kong template. Tama yung sabi dito, tingin ko bukod sa useful templates importante din kung mas alam natin atakihin yung exam. Kaya while nagrereview at mock test (ng madaming beses!), mag formulate ka ng strategy mo every each band.

Pansin ko kapag soft-spoken medyo di maganda ang register sa speaking. Ang i-aim mo, proper diction and intonation kahit wala kang accent (di kelangan yun actually). Yung iba nabubulol lalo kapag pinipilit mag accent.

Kapag nagkamali ka ng pag pronounce sa isang word, huwag mo na basahin ulit at itama, instead just carry on (learned this from E2). Wag ka din magmadali magsalita.

For describe image, use a template that you can easily comprehend.

diannegrace5 · August 26

Thank you po @mathilde9! I think ganun nga po yung ginawa ko from trident before and hnd masyado nagmamadali. Medyo malaki dn kasi gap nung pagtake ako ng mga exam, hindi ko po namaintain kung pano po yung ginawa ko before nung naka89 ako. I think sa describe image and retell lecture po ako mababa sa speaking based sa skills profile

Hello, I just completed my PTE and received my results. I did not use any template from anyone, I just practiced religiously and took mock exams using APEUni. Here are the tips that I followed during my exam:
-Focus and speak naturally
-Do not stop speaking, if out of words, just say some filler until you get back to your thoughts (DI, RL)
-Put extra words in WFD (plural, articles, any similar words if you misheard something)
-Read what you wrote again. You will catch mistakes and you can correct them.

APEUni was a saver. My mock exam scores were hanging by the superior score for Listening (I only got one mock exam that is Superior over all, most I got less than 79 in Listening). APEUni scoring is probably stricter than the actual PTE exam.

Hello. Im a new member of this group. Share ko lang po yung experience ko last time nung nag take ako ng exam and would like to get some tips and recommendations. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to attain my desired score (superior).

I took the test at ACE Testing Hub in Makati last weekend. Madami kasabay, around 10 ata kami. Nung speaking part na, di ko inexpect na ganun pala kaingay sa testing center. Yung katabi ko sobrang lakas ng boses. Nawalan ako ng focus specially on repeat sentence na part.

I am planning to retake the test anytime soon. Any recommendations po kung may mas okay na testing center here sa manila. And tips na din to improve my speaking score.

Thank you so much!

Hello! Ito yung scores ko S-65 W-90 R-78 L-78. I also did a lot of mock tests sa APEUni and mostly got superior scores. Di lang siguro talaga sanay sa ingay kaya nawalan ng focus. but I will try to do mock tests na may background noise as suggested. Thank you so much for answering!

Aww hassle nga yan. Di sya nilapitan ng proctor? Kapag disturbing na ingay sinasabi naman nila before exam na pwede sila lumapit at pakalmahin kayo haha.

hello, got a PTE voucher and valid until Feb 2025. selling it for 10.5k only. Anyone who would like to get it, feel free to message me directly.

thank you!

hello everyone, the photos i posted show my current scores from mock tests using apeuni, along with my real exam score. unfortunately, i didn’t reach my desired score of 65 overall and in each band. i’m practicing every day now, but i just want some validation because there are times when i feel like giving up

after not getting my desired score, i enrolled in PTE Magic and took their essential course for 2 weeks. i’m currently using their templates for DI, RL, and SWT. for the writing essay section, i’m using the jimmyssem template since that’s the one i’ve really mastered. (so far naboost naman score ko sa speaking gamit tips and tricks nila during mock test compare sa dati)

during my first attempt, i used jimmyssem templates po for DI and RL but my trainers said it sounded like listing . they told me that the score relied on fluency and pronunciation to avoid sounding like a list. however, i don’t want to rely on jimmyssem anymore since my speaking score was only 56.

i’d like to ask if it’s possible to score 70+ in the real exam, like i’ve been getting in my mock tests with apeuni? my last real exam was in july, and since then, i’ve been practicing a lot, especially on the speaking and listening sections because those were my lowest scores. my reading and writing were barely passing as well.

i’m looking for any comments or suggestions and also some motivation po since the pte exam is expensive.![]!

based sa post mo, mukhang ok naman english mo. saan ka pinaka nahihirapan? try mo din E2 PTE sa youtube. they will teach you "how" to answer instead of "what" to answer.

practice lang ng practice. focus. kayang kaya mo yang desired score mo!

Try and try lang po makukuha mo din desired scores niyo. If pwedi sayo lipat ka ng test centre sa Pearson - Trident Building. Base on experienced, mas smooth yung keyboard nila. Pero galingan niyo po ulit kong mag take kayo ng exam.

thank you po sa motivation huhu, nung una po na hindi pa ako nag-enroll sa pte magic, nahihirapan talaga ako sa speaking section 😔 ngayon po habang nagpa-practice, specifically sa repeat sentence na lang ako nahihirapan, kaya araw-araw ko po talagang pinapractice itong part na 'to. minsan, nirereplace ko na lang yung ibang words para sa fluency, at base sa pagka-analyze ko sa sentence.

based po sa apeuni mock results ko, makakatotohanan na kaya ma-reach kahit 65+ sa real exam? or wag ako aasa dito
