To all who have passed with flying colors in speaking, did you put emphasis in stressing words and intonation during describe image, and re-tell lecture?

@g_whin no. more on continuous speaking.. Fluency rather than content palagi.

@filipinacpa Na try ko n yun isa pero mababa score ko kaya gusto ko try yun 2nd then buy ulit. Di kasi me convince sa score ko kaya high score ko sa ielts. Pero gusto ko try actual. Affected b if slow yun internet connection? Kasi nun test ko computer sabi recording is too quiet kahit loud voice ko then minsan tagal mag loading.

@Julian they will just ask you the same set of questions if you buy another set a and set b.. yes, nakakaaffect din ang slow ang internet connection. hindi kasi mapipickup ni computer yung recording on time. so make sure stable ang internet connection when doing the practice exam. did you do a voice check before exam? okay naman po ba?

@Julian anyway you can still buy another set of exam.. di naman sila nagbigay ng answer key.. and hindi rin naman 100% natin matandaan yung questions..
alternatively, you can test nalang whether marecognise ni computer yung voice mo. marami dyan online. free pa. I used Siri, S Voice, https://talktyper.com, https://speechpad.pw/ .. kuha ka lang ng isang article na basahin mo tapos check mo kung marecognise yung speeches mo.. content is not really that important din naman sa speaking. it's more on fluency and pronunciation.. and i think key words din related to the topic..

Although meron na provided si Pearson, but per question type mo yung kanila.
So if you are low in speaking, for example, at the same time you also got a low score in reading, then you can probably assess from here na sa read aloud, etc probably hindi naging okay, etc.. Hope this helps!

@nedz I took mine like a week before my actual exam. I took set a last April 30 without booking the exam yet and to see how I go about the practice exam without consistent reviewing. Then when the result came okay, I immediately booked the exam on May 9. I took set b on May 6 to see how I progress from having serious and consistent review from May 1 to May 6. Both sets did okay. So it definitely increased my confidence on the actual exam.

alternatively, you can test nalang whether marecognise ni computer yung voice mo. marami dyan online. free pa. I used Siri, S Voice, https://talktyper.com, https://speechpad.pw/ .. kuha ka lang ng isang article na basahin mo tapos check mo kung marecognise yung speeches mo.. content is not really that important din naman sa speaking. it's more on fluency and pronunciation.. and i think key words din related to the topic..

Although meron na provided si Pearson, but per question type mo yung kanila.
So if you are low in speaking, for example, at the same time you also got a low score in reading, then you can probably assess from here na sa read aloud, etc probably hindi naging okay, etc.. Hope this helps!
