Ang sagot ba naman sakin is, ang tagal mo nang nag aral diyan at nakailang exam kana bat kelangan mo pa mag review ulit. Hahahahaha. Di mo alam kung encouraging or what e. Hahaha

    @CPAofOz hi bro, dalawa po. isa sa ortigas (Bright Centre) and isa sa Makati (Pearson Centre). I have only tried Bright palang. May 4 seats sila and usually wala ka kasabay. :) I will take my next exam sa Makati. Mas prefer ko Bright dahil sa convenience kaya lang sablay naman ang speaking ko dun. Haha.

    I am also having my exam on PTE this June 24. Have tried the IELTS and I always get 6.5 in reading.
    Any tips in PTE Reading, because I find it challenging when it comes to re-order paragraph.

    Thanks! ^_^

    mga sis and bro. I've got my score na finally kaninang 1:45PM and my feeling is right. hehehe. I didn't Ace on my first try. lesson learned the hard way.

    Tips ko lang po sa lahat ng mag-exam, laging present dapat ang presence of mind kasi pag nawala ka na sa isang question move on lang, tsaka mo na iponder yung mga mali mo AFTER the exam NOT during the exam. Isa sa fault ko ito e. nun nagkamali na ako nawala na ako sa concentration.

    Feel the exam para magauge mo ng mabuti yung flow. Napakabilis ng timer lalo na sa reading. Nun una sobrang bagal ko magbasa kasi iniintindi ko pa word for word kaya yung last 4 questions I have only 2 minutes left kaya super hula na ang sagot ko.

    Sa listening naman almost same lang din sa speaking dapat presence of mind pa rin...

    Sa writing naman yung write into 1 sentence, no need na to site examples basta yun topci sentence e maisulat mo and please make sure na lumampas ka ng kahit mga 40 to 50 words kasi parang ang naisulat ko lang is mga nasa 30 words so sayang yung chance to express the thought of your sentence. Sa Essay, follow lang natin yung flow sa IELTS and we'll sure ACE it.

    Lastly pala pag sinabing magrereview, review talaga. huhuhu. pasaway kasi ako e. 70% ata akong tunganga mode and 30% review during my review time. hehehe

    @filipinacpa: kailan ka magretake? baka sa June 23 ako. ang earliest schedule kasi meron dito is June 11-12 and parang hindi pa ako ganon kaready. nakita ko yun sabi ng mom mo na antagal tagal mo ng nagrereview. hayz! natanggap ko din yan. hehehe. kung alam lang nila no. hahaha, nganga talaga pag naipasa natin ito.. let's keep the Faith, sis! :)

    Sa listening naman almost same lang din sa speaking dapat presence of mind pa rin.
    keep the faith po and try again.

    tama ka po presence of mind at the same time monitor the time. sabi ko nga mabilis ung pacing at walang extra oras para mag deal sa previous mong nasagot. ang dami kong beses na nawawala sa focus pero ung oras ung nag remind sa akin na may ibang item pa.

    ang importante dapat ma achieve mo ung hinihingi nang task.

    dapat praktis nang praktis (kulang ako nito.hehe) pero huwag sagarin ang sarili baka wla nang energy during the exam kasi puyat sa kakapraktis.

    @bait0211 yes baka may mic issue ka lang din sis.

    Tsaka review your scores po per question type. Kasi iba iba component para ma gauge rin po kung san may kulang. Yung akin halos lahat sa speaking kaya siguro nahila score ko sa reading.

    Uhm sa 15 ko sana gusto ko kaso di pa rin ako ready. Haha. Pasulpot sulpot lang review. Pero try ko if makahabol pa rin ako. If not July 1 or 2 nalang. Yun lang kasi avail dates sa Pearson Center.

    Nakakalungkot talaga yung feeling na sana last na to tapos makita mo na actual hindi pa pala. But sabi nga sa book na nabasa ko, we are the hero of ourselves. So let's just use this as motivation to further pursue our goal. :)

    Btw guys, may ebook pala ako dito entirled 'the secret'. Very inspiring siya and based sa true stories of successful individuals. Shinare ng bf ko nung manggive up na ako sa pagtake hahahah sabi ko kasi next year nalang ako ulit take haha so ayun maganda siya. Supplemental na rin sa reading preparation natin. Haha. Pm niyo nlng po ako.

    And sorry pala sa mga d ko pa naemail. Email po ako now. Grabecious lang ang pagkabusy talaga. Nalilimutan ko n. Hehe

    @MyOZdream parang repeat sentence lang po yan.. Instead of talking e writing po sya.. Sa actual exams, one dictation at a time po sya.. So better write it po while listening.. tpos type mo nalang since you will not move to the next until you have submitted your answer.

    Nung ako ng ppractice using the mcmillan e 4 continuous dictation.. Akala ko ganon sya pero hindi pala..
