@yosh10 for writing an essay in PTE, follow IELTS Task 2 Structure. Review those of simon's and ryan's
Then, study the PTE offline test and McMillan for the other question type in writing. I always make sure to write my essay responses within 250-280 words.

"Faith is not believing that God can. It is knowing that God will."
Just sharing some tips during exam it might come handy...
Upon seating down sa chair: 1. 'wag muna mag madali mag exam.
2. Dasal muna and konting meditate (30 secs. like hum KAYA ko 'TO!)
3. Mag next ka muna doon sa computer tapos pickup the pen/marker and make a cheatsheet. Gawa ka ng listahan para sa mga words na mostly ginagamit sa retell and describe image. Pwede mo na rin gawin ang mga introduction words doon sa writing easy. Bakit? just in-case you go panic at mag mental-block ka. Medyo mahirap pa naman ang speaking portion dahil bilis ng pacing. At least meron ka 5 minutes time to do this cheatsheet.
4. Next to do is warm-up, read aloud all the text written on the screen. Yung mga instructions na naka-sulat sa computer screen basahin mo ito. Adjust your vocals, tone and speed in reading. Kumbaga "vocalization", you are the star of this exam kaya dapat maganda ang boses mo! Maganda ito if you are taking those 9'ers am time exam.
5. Next is up to you, just go with the flow. In the listening (dictation portion) I think they are overlapping with the written exam, as I got a low score on spelling and all I can remember sa last number sa listening lang ako mali yung spelling ng boung sentence, na time is up kasi ako.
Thank sa TS at sa mga magandang (tao) tips dito.

Meron pong PTE-General pero PTE-Academic lang po yung tinatanggap ng AU immigration.
Please note that PTE General is not accepted for visa applications. To apply for an Australian visa or for most university applications, please use PTE Academic.
March 2015 ko pa ni research tong PTE-Academic kaso natakot ako dati kasi academic nga and akala ko kasi mahirap tulad ng IELTS Academic Module. Nagsisisi ako dapat noon ko pa sinubukan tong PTE-Academic. At thankful ako sa thread na to ni filipinacpa kasi nung nabasa ko to, nagkaron ako lakas loob mag take ng PTE-Academic.
Wala masyado update dito... Busy siguro sa pagrereview. Good luck guys!

Hi, I would like to encourage everyone to just take PTE-A and not waste any of your time and money on IELTS. You may need to review on it for at least 3 weeks, same way as you did for IELTS because you need to know the strategies but it is more lenient and gives you more opportunity to gain points in different areas. I went to a review centre here in Sydney which helped me a lot. I also recommend buying the two mock tests online so you will know which areas you need to work on more. Do the first one maybe two weeks before your exam and the second one maybe 3 days before. But that is up to you. What is important is, you get a feel of the exam. Best of luck guys

Upon seating down sa chair:
1. 'wag muna mag madali mag exam.
2. Dasal muna and konting meditate (30 secs. like hum KAYA ko 'TO!)
3. Mag next ka muna doon sa computer tapos pickup the pen/marker and make a cheatsheet. Gawa ka ng listahan para sa mga words na mostly ginagamit sa retell and describe image. Pwede mo na rin gawin ang mga introduction words doon sa writing easy. Bakit? just in-case you go panic at mag mental-block ka. Medyo mahirap pa naman ang speaking portion dahil bilis ng pacing. At least meron ka 5 minutes time to do this cheatsheet.
4. Next to do is warm-up, read aloud all the text written on the screen. Yung mga instructions na naka-sulat sa computer screen basahin mo ito. Adjust your vocals, tone and speed in reading. Kumbaga "vocalization", you are the star of this exam kaya dapat maganda ang boses mo! Maganda ito if you are taking those 9'ers am time exam.
5. Next is up to you, just go with the flow. In the listening (dictation portion) I think they are overlapping with the written exam, as I got a low score on spelling and all I can remember sa last number sa listening lang ako mali yung spelling ng boung sentence, na time is up kasi ako.
Thank sa TS at sa mga magandang (tao) tips dito.
