@imeetr : Hi po. May idea po ba kayo kung ilan dapat ang makuhang score sa PTE/Cambridge para maka-claim ng points? Kasi sa IELTS, dapat 7 in each bancd score to claim for additional 10 poits.Wala kasi ako makitang mga articles about dito kasi more on ielts lang ang meron. Thank you sa input... GOd bless!

Proficient English is equivalent to 10 points. You have to achieved a test score of at least 65 in each of the four test components (speaking, reading, listening and writing) in a Pearson Test of English (PTE) Academic, while for Superior English which is equivalent to 20 points you need to get at least 79 in each of the four test components.

@katniss questions po ay nasa paper.. pwede ka don magsagot , gamitin mo yun as scratch paper narin hehe then bibigyan kayo 10 minutes to transfer your answer sa answer sheet.
reading naman dapat direct mo na kasi pag tapos na time na binigay "pass your paper" na.. di na kayo bibigyan ng time para itransfer yung sagot nyo..

Hello Everyone,

Hindi ko din nakita kung for General ba or Academics eh..
Please help
Thank you in advance at good luck sa atin lahat na mageexam!

@LittleFinger, thank you sa tip Just a question, am not sure if it's for General or Academics but will it matter babe kung only listening and reading any irereview ko?
Sa last Saturday and Sunday of March na ang exam ko... mejo kulelat na ata ako..
Sa listening, nahihirapan pa din ako sa dialogue section 4.. usually score ko is 33 to 37 /40 or 41.. nasa 7.0 na kaya ito?
Sa reading naman yung mahahabang passages ang nagpapahirap pero nakapagadjust nako by getting tips sa youtube to improve my score..

@Stoked0419 magkaiba kasi ang reading and writing ng general and academic. So mas ok kung makareview ka ng kung ano yong kelangan mo. Sa writing para maging aware ka kung anong writing task ang ibinibigay. sa reading naman, medyo magkaiba rin.

I am curious. which is harder on both Listening and Reading Exams.
The Cambridge practice sets or the actual exam?
Also, on the Reading Exam are we allowed to underline/highlight texts on the passages?
thanks in advance.

@Stoked0419 - if you have opened those reviewers.. you will see that there is a part for GT and specific for Academic.. Listening and Speaking are the same for both, but diff for Reading and Writing ( Essay part) . I reckon, Reading and Writing are harder for Academic.

@janinlee advantage mo na andyan ka na sa AU kasi napapractise mo ang english panigurado.
Full time rin ako sa work when I took the IELTS exam, naglaan lang ako ng few hours during weekends to review. Maganda rin mareview yong type ng exam para pagdating mo dun alam mo i-expect mo.
Go over cambridge 1-9 reviewer. good materials yan.
Goodluck. Kayang kaya mo yan.

Thanks for the encouragement sir/ma'am. May cambridge na rin ako 1-9. Natapos ko na yong 1 & 2. May nagawa na rin akong writing task 1. Pero walang nag ki-critique sa work ko kasi hindi naman ako pumapasok sa review center kasi ang mahal dito.. I am considering OET now kasi daw easier siya compared to ielts.

groovez10Quezon City Posts: 161Member Joined: Jul 10, 2011
Tips for IELTS based on my own experience. I did not have the budget & time to apply for the review course so I just did a self-review. Aside from the free reviewer you get when you register for the IELTS exam I installed a free app called "IELTS SKILLS", its very useful as long as you dont cheat yourself. hehehe. I also listened to BBC radio instead of listening to music at work. This will help you alot especially in the listening part of the test.
To all those going for the IELTS test....Goodluck guys!!!!
Ung audio po ba kanya knya ung mga test taker ng headset or buong classroom or testing room na iplay po?
Nope. walang headset. centralized speakers lang & keep in mind they will only play it once....walang pause or replay. So you have to really stay focused on listening & at the same time read & answer the questionaire fast.
