    question po reg dun sa summarize spoken text, ive noticed na dun sa ibang mga reviewer and likewise dun sa ptepractice na binili ko yung answer nila is surprisingly very short? or ganun ba tlga yun? i personally feel na kung ganun ka short i might end up getting a low score? would be greatful to hear your tips and inputs. Good luck to all!

    In summarize spoken text, you have 10 minutes to write the summary; 50-70 words. 2 ang highest score sa FORM if you wrote 50-70 words as per PTE.

    Hi All! I decided to retake PTE Exam again (for the 3rd time) to hasten ITA... target: 79. Question, gaano po kalayo ung mic nyo? I am breathy po tlgang magspeak (noticed it sa headset). And when I am spontaneous, I can't consciously think about my breathing anymore. Hindi ko un nanotice sa mobile phone ko, at naka noise reduction din naman headset ko... but when I checked ung recording sa ptepractice, ang breathy pala ng words ko... I was thinking distance + lakasan na lang voice. Gaano po ulit kalayo mic nyo?
