    Nope, once lang daanan each question. After clicking next, no going back. Kelangan talaga mindful sa time per question. Check upper right section ng screen para makita yung remaining time. Sa first take ko, hindi naman ako kinulang ng oras, may 5 minutes remaining pa, mali talaga na nag stay ako ng matagal sa mahirap na question.

    @Liolaeus

    Thanks! Importante di ka madistract ng katabi mo, kaya mas malakas boses mo dapat para di mo sila naririnig.

    Nagfocus din ako sa emphasis ng mga key words, ug mga pauses sa mga commas, pati ung sa tono. Dapat pababa ung tono pag patapos na ung sentence. Parang news reporting ba.

    Sa mga graphs, gumamit ng mga synonyms. Dont always use what is written in the graphs

    @smile0127 use a good headphone. pag wala kasi, macacapture at macacapture yung mga background noises. hence, it couldn't give you a more accurate scores then.

    with regards to summarize written text, eto yung 1 sentence lang tama? short concise po definitely. then make sure to include all the key points of the passage in your sentence. i usually write 30-35 words in 1 sentence.

    @smile0127 in my case, yung two takes ko ng pte with bright, yung isang summarize written text is pareho and yung dalawa kong essay. Lol

    So i suggest to research on the actual topics provided para may idea sa actual exam.. In reading essays naman is like you are hitting two birds with one stone because you also practice your reading skills here kaya wala mawawala kung magbabasa rin ng ibang sample essays.. :)

    then make sure to follow ielts simon's structure.. same with writefix.. pare pareho lang naman sila.. make sure coherent ang flow ng essay..


    @gelotronic with regards to speaking in a loud voice, I think I will have to agree with this. Soft voice kasi ako but since nasa house lang ako nag take during my practice exam, kaya medyo malakas talaga ang voice ko so siguro mas maganda ang capture ng computer sa boses unlike kung medyo mahina.. the thing is, diba naririnig mo rin sarili mo sa headset kapag nagsasalita ka..so baka mabingi rin ako.. hehe.. pero i'll try it nextime.. thanks for the tip! :)

    @kittykitkat18 sa abu dhabi.

    Katanungan lang po ulit. yung sequence ng exam : speaking , writing , reading , listening--- for 3 hrs, same day. Naka IELTS set mode pa kasi utak ko.

    Sa lahat po ng naka-take. Ang speaking and writing and listening given na that it is timed test. may specific allocation kung ilang oras mo gagawin ang test at makikita cya on screen ang progress. Sa Reading ba timed din ?..kasi base sa nabasa ko wala kasing nakalagay ilang oras ang uukulin mo bawat question may alloted time lang na nakalagay na 37-41 minutes, Para ma practice namin ang pacing ng exam.

    Another quick question for those who took the exam na, may timer ba ung speaking part pag irerecord mo na ung sarili mo? For example, you have to speak 40 seconds max, may progress bar ba or you have to count it at the back of your head while answering?

    @filipinacpa di ko nadidinig voice ko sa handset, so ok lang hehehe. Before exam starts, merong test recording,naka 3 beses ko tinest talaga yung recording, mejo bassy kase di ko nagustuhan, sabi ko bahala na basta clear voice.

    Ok i' ll share again more of my personal observations on my exam. Sana makatulong.

    1. I focus more on technicalities like yung exact order of test categories, like sa simula ay read aloud, and so on. Para di ko na kelangan basahin ung directions sa screen.

    2. Sa answer the question, 1word lang talaga ung answer ko. And make sure that recording started, baka kase di mairecord kapag sumagot ka kaagad after the question.

    Wala na ko maisip...tanong lang kayo dito at sasagutan ko sa abot ng makakaya ko.

    Cheers!

    @gelotronic or anyone who took the exam, can I get a clarification about the following?

    1.) about the timer - may timer ba ung speaking part pag irerecord mo na ung sarili mo? For example, you have to speak 40 seconds max during a retell lecture, may progress bar ba or you have to count it at the back of your head while answering?
    2.) Gumagana ba ang keyboard shortcuts? Madalas kong gamitin, Control+C, Control+V, Control+Z, Home, End, Shift+Up, Shift+Left.

    Thanks,
    Zaire

    1. Merong timer and progress bar.
    2. Ung mga ctrl functions like ctrl-x, ctrl-c, di ko na ginamit. So di ko na-try kung gumagana. Ang ginamit ko ung cut,copy, and paste buttons sa screen.
    Ung mga home, end, gumagana.

    @gelotronic Can you give specifics regarding describe image and re-tell lecture. Such as what's going on your mind, how did you frame your answers or techniques you used on note taking.

    @g_whin ok, in my exam, i mostly got describe graphs, my steps in describing are:
    1. Tell the title of the graph.
    2. Describe the x-axis, then the y-axis.
    3. Explain the key points in the graph, as you observe it. Like telling where is the minimum or maximum values, which has the smallest or greatest, etc.
    4. If you still have some seconds left, just talk and explain whatever you see in the image or graph, until you reach 40secs.

    For retell, my first sentence should be telling the topic, and summary of the whole lecture. And supporting lines were from keynotes i wrote while listening.
    You should write the keywords, so you will have enough to say until you reach 40secs.

    For both, i always made sure to have correct grammar, correct pronunciation, use synonyms instead of repeating to say again key words.

    @gelotronic One last question from me. How fast was your speech? There was a tip given on this forum that she patterned her speech rate with the sample response given on some PTE materials. Though personally when I heard those read a loud sample response, I felt that it was really fast. The materials that I am referring are the one with B1, B2 and C1 response. Can you please share your insights and experience? Thank you in advance

    @g_whin sorry i never listened to the sample response from PTE materials, so i cant compare. In all speaking questions, i tried to maintain pace similar to how news reporter reports, parang sa CNN, CNBC, fox news, etc. Minsan napapabilis kase rapper ako hahaha.
    And pinoy accent pa rin kase yun ang pinakakomportable.
    And kelangan may pauses to show punctuation like commas, periods. and emphasize keywords. Mas malakas at madiin ung mga importante words.
    Hope this helps.
