Initially, I thought Pearson was harder than ielts especially after Trying Mcmillan.
But once I got the hang of the format I felt that it was easier.

advice ko po sa mga mag tetest.

TEST 1 Section 1: Personal introduction

Part 1: Speaking and Writing
Section 1: Personal introduction
Section 2:
• Read aloud –
 speak like your talking to someone.
• Usually 35 seconds is too long for me even at moderate speed
• Repeat sentence
 Focus, Listen carefully wait for the recording to start and immediately repeat the sentence.
• Describe image
 Look at the image carefully and take note of all details. And create an opening sentence
 Speak in moderate speed so you can be able to think of the next phrase to say.
• Re-tell lecture
 Take Notes!!!! Get imporatant Numbers and names. Verb and adjectives can be added later while you are speaking.
 Speak in moderate speed so you can be able to think of the next phrase to say.
• Answer short question

I receive the scores of my ielts last Jun 12 and was so disappointed buti na lang nalaman ko yun PTE-A last june 14 thru itchard tapos take agad ako nung jun 20. I said to myself what else could go worse i already failed ielts 3 times i had to give PTE-A ashot . If i had failed i would have treated it as a learning experience and take the exam again the following week. Luckily i passed.

Just came across with this blog the other day... and love it...
I want to ask to those who took the exam, which center is best for PTE Academic test- Pearson Professional in Makati or Bright Center in Ortigas?
I took IELTS three times now and always miss .5 in writing, so frustrating.. now I'm trying my luck in PTE Academic.
I been in Australia in 2 years working as Accountant under working visa. I been in Philippines for a year now and applying for PR this time.

itchard · June 2015

@Julian Bright Center.

MyOZdream · June 2015

received my PTE result today.. i did not Ace it.. kung sa Ielts weakness k writing at lagi 6.5 nkukuha ko. sa Pte nmn eto stength ko..

L-73
R-79
W-86
S-63

Maybe 189 is not for us.Keep striving guys.. I will no longer retake the PTE..submitted 489 today.God bless everyone

Julian · June 2015

@itchard Thanks...Can I know the difference between Pearson Makati and Bright Center- I was just worried if there's problem in microphone of Bright Center which might affect my speaking test. I wonder why Pearson Makati was always fully booked? Do they have limited slot?

CPAofOz · June 2015

@MyOZdream have you tried the practice tests which can be bought in PTE? what are the results of your enabling skills? I assume that you had low score on pronunciation and/or oral fluency.

MyOZdream · June 2015

@CPAofOz yep, i got 90 on everything sa enabling skills except fluency and pronunciation. Not sure if nakaafect yung braces ko s pronunciation.. I tried both mock exams, lowest score ko tlga speaking. I thought gawa ng mic ko s bahay.

CPAofOz · June 2015

@MyOZdream you can still try for the last time!

Good for you, you can opt to apply for visa 489. Before I can lodge the EOI, I need proficient english score in the exam as required by CPA, IPA, and ICAA.

MyOZdream · June 2015

@CPAofOz yeah, yun nga narealized ko bless pa din ako kc may option pa ako yung iba wala n tlga. saka yung word ni Lord sakin Deut 19:2 set aside 3 cities centrally located in the land i will give u. sa map South Australia yun saka ACT. pero ang code ko open sa SA. so meaning gusto nya tlga sa SA kmi. saka starting July 1 magincrease n ang English requirement ng SA pero pasok pa din grade ko sa increase. So my interpretation is SA tlaga ang inopen na door ni Lord for us. Kaya nagobey na ko d nk magreresist.

itchard · June 2015

@Julian I don't know the difference but my wife took the exam 1st time and got her desired score. She only spent like 2-3 days reviewing the PDF file.

MyOZdream · June 2015

@itchard galing

chicken_star · June 2015

MyOZdream · June 2015

@chicken_star state nomination will open in July 1. I submitted EOI first then I will submit state nom this coming July 1. Based on their updated news release, ICT occupations will reopen this coming July 1

CPAofOz · June 2015

@danyan2001us I received the kit right away. By received, I mean the tests were already accessible through the website. Please try the link below and choose "ONLINE PRACTICE TESTS" that should do the trick.
