    @julian...base po sa set ng exam na nakuha ko.... 200-300 words in 20 minutes... na consume ko both yung 20 minutes... hindi ko natapos yung mga essays... nakita ko yung word count ko..halos nasa 140-160 words lang po...still i got 68 sa writing (communicative skills)... pero 10 sa written discourse (enabling skills)...hehehehe

    1st essay exam = introduction = 2 sentences.. main body = 4 sentences ata??
    2nd essay exam= introduction = 2 sentences .. main body = 4 sentences....concluding paragrap = 1 sentence.. bitin pa hindi ko natapos...ngak!!!

    kaya medyo naguguluhan ako kung ilalaban ko yung scores ko para i submit sa EOI...if yung pinagbabasehan ng DIBP ay yung communicative skills... ang equivalent ng mga scores ko ay halos band 7 and up.. tama po ba??? which is 10 pts...

    or maybe nagkaroon ng glitch dun sa written discourse???

    sa mga kinauukulan tanong lang po ulit.. yung Communicative Skills po ba ang i coconsider na result ng PTE-A exam ng DIBP?? or yung enabling scores?? or baka silipin din ng DIBP yung enabling scores??
    pa advise naman po.. heheheh.. salamat in advance

    napapaisip tuloy ako kung mag retake ulit ako...

    @CPAofOz.. salamat po pala sa advise... medyo hindi ako naka refresh (nung nag rereply kay @julian) at hindi ko nakita yung message mo..... anyway.. ilalaban ko na tong scores ko..pwede na pala.. :)

    hindi po ako nag take ng IELTS.. i enrolled po sa IELTS (18hrs training) sa BC last march 2015.. plan ko na po mag take ng april or may.. pero po dahil sa katamaran mag self review.. mag haharakiri style na po sana ako na mag take ng IELTS bahala na kung ano mangyari.. ma experience lang ba...hanggang maipasa kung kailanman.... until nakita ko yung PTE forum.. kaya nag backout ako at nag shift sa PTE....

    sa totoo lang po.. hindi talaga ako makapaniwala na nakalusot sa PTE.... hindi po talaga ako nag review ng masinsinan.. ang sabi ko sa sarili ko.. mangyari na ang mangyayari...mag take na lang ulit kapag semplang... pero sinamahan ko ng dasal...

    balak ko i share yung experience ko ....hmmmm... ewan kung kapupulutan ng aral??? hehehehe

    Hi, for those who already take ielts and PTE, what do you consider the hardest?
    Is the macmilan practice test harder than actual PTE exam?

    @Julian yes, as for me Mcmillan is harder than the actual exams, but the good thing about it is you will force yourself to prepare a lot. And if you're lucky enough you will encouter some questions (1 or 2) from the reviewer. ;)

    Hi Guys! Thank you sa lahat ng nasa thread na 'to. All your tips are invaluable! I took the exam today and received my scores after just several hours. I can claim 20 points! L - 86; R - 79; S - 85; W - 85. Your time will come as well, just hold on a little longer. =p

    @Julian thank you! i took it here in adelaide, mas mabilis siguro releasing ng result dito. unfortunately, just a few days lang ako nakapag-prepare for pte, sabay kasi exams ko sa school (you can imagine how stressed i was this past week!) - i'm currently a student here. yes, i used the mcmillan materials. i would say mas mahirap ang questions sa mcmillan compared sa actual test. so if you do well sa mcmillan, you definitely will ace the actual test. Goodluck!

    @adelaide8 ask ko lang if ok lang mag next kahit di p recording completed o need to wait to make it complete before going to next question.

    @Julian Ok lang mag next agad. Ganun ginawa ko kasi baka may ibang sound pang ma capture at maka apekto sa score.

    @Julian nag-next ako agad, kapag marami pang seconds na natitira pero kapag less then 3 seconds nalang, hinihintay ko na lang ma-complete. much better nga siguro na mag-next ka agad baka may ma-record pang unwanted sound.

    ang ingay ng exam room sa pearson makati kanina.. tinry ko wag iclick yung next.. nag lapsed na 3 seconds, ayaw pa machange ng status to complete..

    at grabe ang paghabol ko sa oras!! mangiyak ngiyak ako kala ko di na ako aabot. panay dasal ko sa taxi.. haha.. binaba ako ni manong sa rcbc para hindi na umikot kasi baka matrapik lang.. so mula fire station nilakad ko na papuntang rcbc.. hindi ko pa sure kung tama yung nilalakad ko.. hahaha nakatawid na ako pero wala pa ako makitang trident tower na katulad sa picture ng building na nakita ko.. hahah 10 mins nalang natitira sa oras ko nun simula bumama ako taxi.. grabe talaga ang takbo ko at pagmamadali.. super di ko malilimutan yung araw na yun.. tapos naglakad na lang ako, sabi ko bahala na.. tas ayun voila! may building na kala ko sarado.. haha tapos 312 lang nakalagay sa glass door.. kala ko yun na.. binagalan ko lakad.. laking tuwa ko nung makita ko trident tower.. hahahah madali talaga ako.. pati yung guard napamadali.. kasi parang 5 mins nalang natitira sa time ko.. hahaha

    hay mas masakit siguro kung di ako makatake dahil sa na late ako.. mawawala ganun ganun yung 205usd.. buti nalang talga.. thank you Lord di mo po ako pinabayaan.. hanggang ngayon pag naaalala ko yung paghabol ko kanina, nangingiyak ngiyak pa rin ako. hahaha

    anyway, hindi talaga ganun ka private sa pearson makati.. 4 kami nagtake kanina.. tapos naririnig ko yung mga sagot nila, nagrereflect sa headset ko.. kahit yung isang nasa dulo.. pati pagtype niya parang nag eecho sa headset ko.. mas prefer ko yung privacy sa bright centre.. same lang din headset na gamit nila..

    ESSAY TOPIC ko kanina:

    1. Something about whether I agree if yung formal written examination do not effectively assess students' learning.. provide arguments, reasons, etc..

    2. Discuss both opinions whether or not English, as the international language, is losing its dominance due to globalisation..
