@julian discount code means you have to block the test for pte? then they will give you the code.. magkano po yung discount normally. kasi magpapaset ako ng sched for the exam.. d pa kasi ako nakabili ng kit. tnx

@Urlilangel_christy discount is around 10% but I don't know if there is an expiration date for the discount. You need to actually book the test and before you pay you need to encode the promo code so that the discount will appear and deducted to your test fee.

Julian · August 2015

@Hunter_08 Ok lang yan, try and try lang. Ako rin mag try ulit malay mo next time maging lucky na rin tayo. Sabi nga ni bait dito " walang forever" kaya lagi na lang me hopeful kahit it really hurts lalo na sa pocket.

Hunter_08 · August 2015

catch22 · August 2015

@Liolaeus onga eh pero umiiyak na ang bulsa ko

catch22 · August 2015

@Hunter_08 65-78 is equivalent to IELTS band 7

agentKams · August 2015

RMD · August 2015

@catch22 tips naman po kung pano nyo na improve ang speaking part, I took my first PTE but I only got 46 in speaking.

Naka ilang take na rin ako ng IELTS and either speaking or writing ang laging 6.5

Hunter_08 · August 2015

@Zaire speaking ang biggest hurdle ko with PTE. iyong describe a graph/image ako natataranta.

Georgie335 · August 2015

@agentKams Thanks. Lahat ba ng lumabas sau charts (pie, bar, line graphs). Penge naman sample actual entries.

Iyong repeat sentence may time na memental block ako pag ang daming information na sinasabi. Mahahaba ba lumabas sau? Penge sample.

Thanks.

Levannie · August 2015

hello.. ask ko lng magkano po ang exam fee sa PTE ngayon?

Liolaeus · August 2015

@catch22 Oo mataas na chance natin kasi nung August 3, minimum 60 pointers ang mga nainvite sa occupation natin.

catch22 · August 2015

@RMD If you don't mind, saan ka mababa? sa Oral fluency ba or sa pronunciation?
Napansin ko kasi yung sa akin, mas mababa yung pronunciation ko, eto yung mga ginawa ko:

1. practice read aloud with typetalker para malaman ko kung tama ba pronunciation ko
2. familiarization with introduction in describing graphs and trends and vocabulary. Paulit ulit kong pinakinggan yung Business of English: Episode 8: Graphs and Trends ng Australia Plus sa youtube. Madali kasi syang intindihin.
3. Inantay ko munang maggreen yung bar sa recording bago ako nagsasalita. Pansin ko sa unang exam ko ng PTE eh nagmamadali ako magsalita, kapag nakita ko na 'Recording' nagsasalita na ako. pero dun sa 2nd take ko ng PTE inantay ko maggreen yung bar sa recording. mas mataas ang pronunciation ko dun pero kulang pa din yung score ko nun wala kasi ako sa focus hehe kaya nung 3rd take ko nagfocus ako at nagstart ako magsalita pag nagstart na din na maggreen yung bar. Ewan ko kung ganun din sa iba pero sa akin naging effective naman
4. Focus on exam, wag sa environment mo lalo na sa background sounds. Hindi mawawala yan pero ang focus mo pwedeng mawala

@catch22 thanks for sharing, hope this work for me

@catch22 thanks for sharing, hope this work for me

RMD · August 2015

@catch22 Both oral fluency and pronunciation ako mababa so may problema tlga sa pagsasalita ko. And pansin ko sa recording ko may hangin sa pagsasalita ko. Pano ba maalis yun?

Thanks much for sharing, really appreciate it.

catch22 · August 2015

@RMD same experience with my 1st take. ang mali ko hinayaan ko lang na ganun. i thought normal yun hindi pala kasi nung 3rd take ko wala namang hangin. kung nag mic test ka then pansin mo may hangin try to adjust yung mic. pero kung same pa rin, you may raise your hand and ask the invigilator for assistance.

Liolaeus · August 2015

@RMD Wag mo masyado ilapit yung mic sa bibig. Ako inilayo ko tas nag test ako ng nag test hanggang walang ibang extra sound na ma capture.

Mataas naman speaking mo ah, 77. Konti na lang yan, siguro salita ka pa hanggang 35 seconds ng recording.

Naalala ko pala dun sa answer short question. Ang tanong "What happens to the sun at dawn?". Ang sagot ko, "the sun sets." pero "sun rise" nga pala tama sagot. Kelangan ng presence of mind haha. Kelangan mabilis mag isip dahil pag no sound after 3 seconds mag close yung mic. 83 pa din naging score ko.

kristine_1377 · August 2015

@catch22 @Liolaeus ano nag cause ng hangin dun sa mic? may effect ba un sa quality ng voice?

Liolaeus · August 2015

Hmm, hindi naman siguro sa quality ng voice mo kung di sa quality ng recording. Ma capture yung hangin so baka mahirapan yung computer na mag detect ng words at possible na bumababa ang fluency at pronunciation.

Oooppps nagkamali pla ko ng lagay sa signature, speaking ko is 46 and writing is 77. Sa mock test 53 lng ako sa speaking. Mababa tlga
