PTE ACADEMIC

gfalconx · November 2015

mga bossing ask ko lng.. sa listening ba ung fill in the blanks section habang nakiknig ka e fifill in mo ung word na nawawala... may nakapag try ba sa nyo kung gumagana ang "TAB" button?

se29m · November 2015

@gfalconx di ko na try. Advise ko lang, try not to use shortcuts.. Kasi baka maka affect during the exam.. Madali lang fill in the blanks ng listening.. Basta check the spelling before submitting your answer...

jrgongon · November 2015

@gfalconx hi...yes gagana ang tab button sa actual exam para sa listening...hay..nakalagay result is reportable na pero hindi ko naman ma access...dapat antayin pa ata ang email...ano ba naman to...nakakakaba...more than 12 hrs na ako naghihintay...kpag within 24 hours wala pa pwede ko na ireport sa pulis to...hehehe

gfalconx · November 2015

63- Writing
62- Reading
73- Listening

76- Writing
59- Reading

In return, i wanna share my experience from review to day of exam. (baka lng din my same case ako na sa una nawawalan ng pag-asa, kabado, and napapagod na, pro still i made it!)

Oct 3- I booked the exam for Nov 6 , so almost 1 month and 3 days preparation. By that time oct 19 na agad ang next exam then sunod is nov 6. I booked the exam just for the sake of booking! haha! i dont have review materials yet but i have already a glimpse of exam flow as i checked this post already.

Tip: Check exam dates early. Also, i find it helpful to set the exam date agad para mapressure ako and to take seriously the review. Kasi ang tendency if after mo mgreview, saka ka magbook. You'll have excuses to delay the exam.

Review materials and strategy:
Mcmillan book- downloaded from this post:
-Hindi ko natapos mcmillan. And most audio parts relating to CD1, di ko nagawa kasi incomplete nadownload ko.
-Didnt finish esays and most writing parts (guilty on this, kasi dinelay ko sya ng dinelay hanggang sa di ko nasagutan. Alam ko kasi mahina ako sa essay kaya ayoko sya sagutan haha! )
-For three weeks,2hrs/day for weekdays. then for weekend i spent almost whole day. ( I had days na napapgod na ako or nauumay. as a result, dmi ko break time lol)

TIP: Better if you finish the whole book. If kulang sa time, since ang mcmillan is 4 parts n dn paulitulit. concentrate on your weaknesses. practise!

Pte practise exam (free)- pte site (i tried to answer parts na im having a hard time. READING!

Gold kit mock exam- Bought from Pte site. bought this same day i booked my exam. As mentioned ng iba,better if you bought it kasi youll be more familiarize on the exam actual process. But this has downside din, if you saw your scores. Disappointing kasi ung sakin, aminado ako mahina ako reading, spec. reorder and essay writing ( which is twice ko lng ntry gumawa during my review). For my 2nd mock, mas ok na feeling . Thankful sa ielts ryan . essay tips! really helpful. After non tumaas ang writing ko! still reading ang kulang ko.

Youtube videos- i watched for tips basta ngsearch lng ako.esp sentence construction, essay writing.

Ted.ph- for 3 nights ng weekend i listened on videos, to check lang if i can understand english accents.

For review schedules, as much as possible devote portion of your time everyday hanggang sa routine mo na sya. Though iba iba tyo ng scenario, others maybe busy. Isipin na lang natin, we want this badly na we have to do our part and that is to review.

ACTUAL EXAM:
-Wag dumaldal haha. once pumasok sa lobby area, refrain fr talking daw.
-Go to restroom before exam pra derederecho ka na.
-Take a break before proceeding to Listening part. kahit saglit lang. ako ng restroom lng then balik agad. Good thing din kasi atleast nastretch muscles, my blood circulation and medyo narest mind mo.

No need to rush in finishing the exam, anyway, you'll just do it once!

SPEAKING and WRITING
-Almost same sa mcmillan.
speaking- Be confident! In describing images, pag wala na ako masabi lagi ang last sentence ko is " This graph is an effective and efficient way to illustrate the datas.. " For the sake lng na tulotuloy.
-writing - same sa taas format ng ielts ryan. check your grammar and spelling

READING
-compared sa mock and mcmillan, mas nadalian ako sa actual. lalo na sa fill in the blanks and reorder paragraphs! thankful ako kasi ang napunta skin mga tig 2 sentences lng (for reorder). ksi weakness ko tlga to.
-monitor time! naghabol na ako nung huli. pero thank God natapos ko din

LISTENING
-Same as mcmillan and mock.
- but when it comes to repeat sentence mas madali actual! mas onti ang words

-naghabol din ako dito ng oras! hahha nkakapanic din. pero anw, last question ng repeatsentence ako nagahol. . ndi ko natype ang last 4 words.

Kahit di ko natapos, iba pa din ang feeling. Fulfillling

and finally natapos din. kaya after exam i let go of it agad, di ko na inisip and i tried to relax.

ONE MAJOR TIP:
before i started reviewing. I wrote in a paper...

(FULL NAME) PASSED PEARSON TEST ENGLISH ACADEMIC ON (DATE OF EXAM) WITH SCORES OF 80-WRITING, 80- SPEAKING, 80-READING and 80-LISTENING.
(tho not exctly same sa actual

i target high score para my allowance)

Pinost ko sya sa wall ko sa room. and even wallpaper sa phone ko. and for one month every morning pag gising and every night pagtulog, I SAY IT OUT LOUD! i always believe in auto suggestion and law of attraction. In that way din, i started my day right. Im motivated to study kasi i need to give justice to it. Na kahit i have FAITH AND PRAYERS on my side . still i acknowledge the need for me to exert an EFFORT AND HARD WORK. No room for doubts! believe i yourself! "WHAT THE MIND CAN CONCEIVE, IT CAN ACHIEVE."

Ang haba n ng post ko, halos lht nmn ng tips nasabi n ng iba haha! Pero anyway i hope na if my nadagdag ako dun. yun ay ang pagshare ko bout autosuggestion and law of attraction.

Again, thank you sa lahat! GOD BLESS US ALL.

KEEP THE FAITH!

jrgongon · November 2015

huhuhu...2 pts ang kulang ko sa reading...i admit kinulang ako sa oras...huhuhu...mag exam na ulot ako next week,,,possible talaga makakuha ng 20 points...i will post my results later...medyo nakakainis na nakakapanghinayang lang...hay

jrgongon · November 2015

Listening 80 - considering na konti lang ang naalala ko sa repeat sentence
Reading 63 - eto aminado ako nagahol ako sa oras tapos sobrang hirap pa ang lumabas sa akin...dito talgang up to the last minute talagang nataranta at nanghula na ako
Speaking 84 - wow..surprisingly kahit nautal utal ako at parang na-intimidate ako sa galing ng mga kasabayan ko eh nakakuha pa ako ng gantong score
Writing 75 - eto ang hanep...feeling ko ang galing galing kong writer...ang babaw kaya ng english ko at halos paulit ulit ang vocabulary na ginamit ko...para ngang ultimo grade 1 eh maiintindhan ang sinulat ko basta paabutin niyo lang ng 200 words or more........

OZwaldCobblepot · November 2015

congrats @loo!

aw. sayang @jrgongon book na uli para makahabol pa this year

se29m · November 2015

@jrgongon weak part ko din reading hahaha.. Tingin ko sa fill in the blanks scroll down ako sumabit at reorder paragraphs.. Kaya mo yan!!!

@loo congrats!!

OZwaldCobblepot · November 2015

muntik na din ako maubusan ng oras sa reading e. seconds left na lang nun natapos ko last item. haha nakakaubos ng oras ung fill in the blanks talaga.

aria · November 2015

@loo congrats! ang ganda ng scores mo

@jrgongon sayang yung 2 points pero mukhang madali mo na lang yan makukuha sa next try mo.

anyway.. first time ko din magtake last Friday. and unfortunately, sumablay ako sa speaking. as in sobrang baba.

eto yung mga nakuha kong grades.

L- 83
R- 90
S - 54
W- 90

Sa enabling skills, 90 ko na lahat except lang sa Pronunciation - 44 at Oral Fluency - 53.
Obviously meron talagang problema sa speaking ko. haha. pero I don't think may problema sa mic kasi based sa mock exams ko, weakness ko talaga ang speaking. nagdecide ako mag-actual na kasi based sa mga nabasa ko ay tumataas naman daw ang score sa actual. Sa actual exam naman, may mga times na nautal ako sa describe image and re-tell lecture pero tinutuloy tuloy ko lang ang salita ko kahit minsan wala ng sense. then yung repeat sentence, may isa or dalawa ata akong sentence na na-jumble ko yung words. then sa answer short question, 2 yung sure kong mali ang sagot ko. ayun.. feeling ko binigay ko na ang best ko pero sobrang baba pa din ng speaking ko. huhu.
meron ba kayong mapapayo? pansin ko kasi ang tataas ng Speaking niyo.. hehe. gusto ko sana kahit maka-79 lang sa lahat kasi kelangan ko ng 20 pts. di ako abot sa cutoff pag 10pts. lang eh.

blac · November 2015

Good day po sa lahat! You may not know me because this is may first time to post in this forum. Nung una, nagbabasabasa lang po ako ng mga posts ng mga tao and it encouraged me to take pte academic. Same as the other test takers here, i started with IELTS which somehow made me lose hope because i took IELTS 2 times and the results were not good.

1st take (june 27,2015)
L-6.5
R-6
W-6
S-6.5

2nd take (september 26,2015)
L-7
R-6.5
W-6
S-6.5

After kong makuha yung result nung last IELTS exam ko, i talked to the person in my agency who is fixing my papers if i have other options. Then she recommended me to take PTE academic. She told me that it is easier. At first, i was hesitant because i thought that this might be like IELTS who is making the exam a business. Well, it is really a business but what i mean with business is that they are taking our money in exchange of the exam but they are concealing the real result and giving us lower grades for us to retake the exam and pay them again. I somehow believe in this because if they give it away easily, there will be fewer test takers meaning lesser income for them. They know that people are willing to take take the risk of retaking the exams as many tries as they want until they get their desired band score because of course, people are dying to go abroad to earn bigger salary. I think i ranted enough. Masama lang talaga loob ko sa ielts. Haha.

Anyway, di ko alam kung pano ako napunta sa forum na to. I just clicked on this page and voila! My hopes of passing the test came back. Thanks to @filipinacpa. Honestly, if not because of this mawawalan na siguro ako ng gana magexam at magaaral nalang ako doon. The time i found out this forum, i started reading the posts from the beggining up until the latest post. It took me a whole day to read all the posts and i can say that it is all worthit. After reading all the posts, i immediately bought the gold kit of pte and tried to download the pte test builder of macmillan and for some reason, i failed to dl it so i just sticked with the gold kit i bought. I took the first mock test the day after i bought it whitout reviewing and the result is disappointing. L-64 R-55 S-63 W-63. Since everyone is saying that the actual exam is easier, nagbook narin ako nung oct. 19, 2015 kahit mababa yung scores ko. I booked 4 days before the examination day. Tough right? I reviewed everyday until the test date. I tried to apply all the suggestions they posted. The day before my exam, i took the mock test b. L-62 R-62 S-63 W-61.

I was worried and did not sleep well the night before the actual exam. I kept on thinking that i will fail the exam. I came late to the testing center but i was able to take the exam. I was the last one who enetered the room and it was really noisy inside that made me more nervous. Sobrang lakas ng tibok ng puso ko then everyone was talking. I was really not focused that time but i tried to focus on the exam and i faiedl to regain it. I screwed up my speaking, writing, reading and listening. Since i was late, ako rin yung huling natira sa testing room and worst is that i was not able to finish my listening because my time is up.

1st take (oct 19,2015)
S-64
W-63
R-65
L-60

But i did not give up because i know that i came unprepared. I read some posts again in this forum and there was a post saying "OUR DREAM IS BIGGER THAN OUR FEAR". Tumatak talaga sa isip ko yun. Whoever you are, thank you!

I learned from my mistakes so i refreshed my knowledge and practiced my weakness. Honestly, i did not reviewed well. What i did was i memorized the flow of the exam bacause it is really a time saver if you will not read the instruction. The time texts and pictures pop up on the screen, you already know what to do. I am reapiting it you. Familiarization of the flow of the exam is very very very important!!! Bacause i can still remember that after my retell lecture, another picture was showed on the screen and i thought it was still the retell lecture so i panicked and wasn't able to answer the question.

I know to myself that i can nail this exam so i booked another exam 3 days before the test date(nov 6,2015). To tell you honestly, i did not read or do some practice test anymore after i booked the exam and i just sticked on what i should do on every part of the exam. I memorized the flow very well and applied the techniques that is applicable to me because not all the techniques are applicable to everyone. So, you need to practice, practice and practice and decipher the technique you are comfotable with.

The night before the exam, i booked for a masseuse for me to relax and to have a good night sleep. I slept for 8 hours but was not able to eat my breakfast so i just ate 3 pcs of dew berry and a yogurt to fuel up my brain with glucose but that was not enough. I advice you to take a full meal. Since i was late the last time i took pte, i made it sure that i was an hour earlier. I arrived at the testing center at exactly 8:00 am. As i arrived at the testing center, i got a number and did not read the sheets of paper they gave me because i already read it the first time i took the exam. They did their usual ritual before taking the exam. They confirmed my identification using my passport, then took may picture and palm scanned me. I put all my things inside the provided locker and went to the comfort room to empty my bladder then proceeded to the examination room. Since i was early, i was the second person who took the exam. The 1st person who took the exam when i entered the room was already at the middle part of the speaking. So, it is better to go earlier because once you arrived at the testing center, they will let you take the exam immediately. It is an advantage because it is not yet noisy. You will not be bothered while taking the exam. I checked the mic and the headset if it is working and i took my time modulating my voice until i am satisfied. It would be wise to prepare a 30sec talk introducing yourself and why you are taking pte but this part of the exam is not scored. It will just help boost your confidence, i think.

blac · November 2015

SPEAKING:

Read aloud - you have 35 secs to read the passage and prepare. My technique is that during the preparation time, i am reading it aloud already so that i will know if i am too fast or slow. Inuulit ulit ko yung mga parts na medyo nabbulol ako para pag binasa ko na siya fluent na kasi maaalala ng utak natin na dapat ganun siya basahin. Sit up straight. Focus on the passage. Ignore the people talking around you. Feel free to move. Express yourself. Do some hand gestures like you are explaining it to someone. For me, it is better if you are doing some hand gestures while reading the words because it eases up the tension. It also helps to be more focus on the text that you are reading. As a practice, i read books aloud.

Repeat sentece - i wrote down the first letter of words while repeating the words on my mind. I practiced this many times and based on my observation, i was speaking at the 2 or 3 second mark after writing the first letter of the words. It needs practice to perfect it and it is effective for me but of course my short term memory is not that good so i tend to miss some words but it is fine.

Describe image - i have a template as what others did. "The line graph/bar graph/pie chart/diagram/picture depicts/shows/illustrates the (title of the picture presented). The x axis represents the xxxxxx and the y axis represents xxxxxx." (For graphs). Then explain the highest and lowest figures. Conclusion "it is evident that the overall trend was downwards/upwards"/"overall, the graph showed an upward trend from xxxx-xxxx, then a downward trend from xxxx-xxxx"/"the picture/graph/chart is concise and accurate, hence it could be use for future study". Just practice it to learn how to manage your time and not exceed the 40 second time limit. Explain the picture on how you read the passages in read aload. Don't correct yourself just move on if you say something wrong.

Re-tell lecture - it is important to take down notes. Take down the key words. If you can't say anything else just relax and think of something that is related to the lecture. The key here is to say the key words and be fluent. Be mindful of your time. You should end your sentence before the time expires. 36-38 secs is good enough.

Answer short question - Dito ako nadali dati. Akala ko retell lecture pa ayun pala answer short question na. Always be alert. This is easy but you must be aware on what part of the exam you are answering.

WRITING

Summarize written text - read this http://en.toefl.uobabylon.edu.iq/papers/pearson_2014_112450766.pdf
You have allot of time in this part so this should be easy but practice it as too just to make sure.

Write essay - http://dylanaung.blogspot.co.uk/2015/04/useful-phrases-sentences-and-formats.html?m=1
http://dylanaung.blogspot.com/2015/04/pte-academic-essay-questions-and-ideas.html?m=1
Just the same with ielts essay but you have a shorter time. You need to write an essay within 20mins. You should have an introduction, body (2 paragraphs) and conclusion.

READING - this is easier than the mock tests. Don't waste your time on one item. If you're not sure with your answer in the multiple choice, just answer the sure one you know. Mutiple choice is right minus wrong. If one of your answers is correct and the other one is wrong, you'll get a score of 0 so be careful.

Reorder paragraphs - just look for the topic sentece. The topic sentence is a sentence which could stand alone. It doesn't have pronouns. I know there is a link in the previous posts. Just check it out or you could check youtube. Look for tips on pte re order paragraph if i'm not mistaken. But i am sure there is a tutorial in youtube.

Fill in the blanks - check out the academic collocation list in pte. There are about more than 2000 collocation words but you don't have to memorize it. You just need to be familiar with the words.

LISTENING

Summarize spoken text - same with the re tell lecture. Take note of the key words. There is an enough time to write your answer. Check your grammar, spelling and sentence constraction.

Multiple choice - read the question first then look for the context clue. Listen carefully to the speaker and look for the context clue and once you heard it, you'll find the answer. Don't waste much of your time in this part.

Fill in the blanks - read together with the speaker. What i did in this part is that i wrote the answers in the provided sheet of paper without looking on what i am writing so that i can follow the words that the speaker is saying. After listening, i typed the answers in the blanks. Make sure that what you are typing is in the correct spelling. You can use "tab" to shift to the next blank.

Highlight correct summary - i really suck in this part. Before the speaker speaks, read the question then listen to the speaker very carefully. Take down the key words and rlate it to the choices.

Select missing word - just listen carefully to the speaker. Look at the moving bar on your screen and when it is about to end, focus on the last sentence because it is about to stop.

Highlight incorrect words - easy part. Just follow the word that the speaker is saying using the cursor so that when the speaker said an incorrect word, you could immediately click it.

Write from dictation - same tip as with the repeat sentence. The difference is that you have more time in this part to write your answer so this is easier than the repeat sentence.

S-71
W-70
R-68
L-75

jrgongon · November 2015

@blac ikaw ung katabi ko sa kanan...ako ung pangatlo...ikaw ung nursing na taga pangasinan?hehehe...tama?

jrgongon · November 2015

i believe nadali ako sa reading na choose more than one answer kasi talagang pinilit ko sumagot ng more than two choices kahit hindi ako sure sa isa...hay..sayang

blac · November 2015

Ako nga.. Haha.. Ikaw yung nakasalamin..

OZwaldCobblepot · November 2015

@blac congrats! nice tips. tama, try lang ng try. once makuha na natin yung inaasam natin na visa, all of our experience sa english exams will be fruitful.

jrgongon · November 2015

@blac ako nga..hahaha......sayang talaga..2 points na lang...bwisit na reading yan....sa lahat wag kayo maglaan ng matagal na oras sa isang number..dun kasi sa mga unang questions tumagal talaga ako...ung choose more than one answer....i think naka 7 minutes ako para sa dalawang tanung kaya nagahol na ako ng oras sa iba..

engineer20 · November 2015

@jrgongon usually 2 lang ang correct answers sa multiple choice multiple answers.

jrgongon · November 2015

un nga tapos pagdating ng around 15 minutes nahahati na attention ko...kasi kinakabahan na ako sa oras kaya todo taranta na ako sa pagsagot..ang kaibahan kasi sa IELTS kahit hindi mo muna sagutan ung iba ok lang tapos balikan mo na lang..dito sa PTE...its now or never...pagka next mo wala ng balikan kaya pinipilit ko makasiguro..sayang talaga...nakakapanghinayang...2 points na lang oh...bday ko na sa 13..babye 5 points din ako sa application pero pasok pa din naman un nga lang 60 points na lang..kaya kung swertehin ako na maka 20 points pasok ako sa 70 points sa migration..

OZwaldCobblepot · November 2015

sa multiple choice-multiple answer, mas ok na magtake risk sa 2 sure correct answer, atleast 2points na agad un. unlike sa 2 sure answer then may isang feel mo lang na tama na matagal mo pinagisipan. 2-1=1point lang makukuha, ubos pa oras.

blac · November 2015

@jrgongon sobrang sayang talaga yun. 2 points nalang. Ang taas pa naman nung iba mo. Dibale, sure na yan sa next take mo. Reading nalang naman problema mo eh. Basta pag may sure ka ng isang sagot tapos di ka sure sa iba mong sagot, wag ka ng magtake ng risk isagot mo na yung sure ka tapos move on na. Tama si engeneer20 na kadalasan eh 2 lang ang tamang sagot. Tapos right minus wrong pa. Sabi pala ng iba na mataas daw points ng re order paragraphs. Goodluck sa next take. You will nail it, bro! Congrats in advance.

jrgongon · November 2015

@blac tnx bro..by the way dba nursing ka...may i know kung anung pathway mo in going to Australia..I have 2 sisters in law na nursing grad kaso hindi ko naman sila matulungan kung anung way para makapunta sila sa australia..Engineering kasi ako and sa amin kasi iba ang mga assessing body na humahawak..bridging program ka ba?the way i understand sa ibang thread na kasi kapag nurse ang course mo ang tanging paraan lang ay thru bridging program kasi I think para macredit ang profession mo u need a certain license na sa Australia mo lang makukuha at tanging paraan para makuha mo un is mag-aral....unlike sa ibang profession like me PRC ay ok na for assessment ng skills...thanks

jrgongon · November 2015

@all sana may makapagsend ng reviewer focus sa reading ng PTE-A...lalo na ung re-arrange paragraph...thanks

jrgongon · November 2015

@aria mag exam ka ba sa Friday din?anyway i don't know if this will apply in your case pero sa speaking kasi ang technique saka based na din sa pagtake ko ng IELTS review before kailangan talaga iexagerate mo ung movement ng lips and tonque upto the extent na magmukha kang eng eng...we are not used in speaking in English as a daily basis kasi hindi naman tayo amerikano at para mas mapronounce at mailabas natin ng klaro ung mga sinasaltik ng ating mga labi dapat nating lubos na mapronounce ito ng malinaw at maayos at ang tanging paraan ay istretch ang mga labi at iikot ikot ang mga dila

...seriously nung nagtake ako ng review ng IELTS grabe ung lecturer namin...kulang na lang eh parang umabot sa harap ako ang nguso nya and eventually ko lang narealize na kaya niya pala un ginagawa kasi mas nabibigyan natin ng tamang diction at pronunciation ang mga bagay bagay...sana makatulong to sa iyo..ganto kasi ginawa ko eh...

fallenchocolates · November 2015

hi guys! I took the the PTE-A exam on Nov. 6 and positive ang result. I want to thank everyone here na nagshare ng reviewer, tips and strategies. later i-share ko yung strategies na ginamit ko sa exam though not that high ang scores ko maybe makakatulong din sa iba hehe.

aria · November 2015

@fallenchocolates wow congrats sa iyong positive results! please share your experience. hehe

aria · November 2015

@jrgongon may problem talaga siguro sa pagsasalita ko mismo na hindi nako naiintindihan ng computer. lalo na sa describe image at retell lecture, masyado siguro ako natataranta sa time at nakafocus sa kung ano sasabihin ko, hindi ko na napapansin kung okay pa ba pronunciation ko. nagdadalawang isip pako kung magtatake na agad ulit ako. ang bilis kasi, di ko sure kung maiimprove ko kaagad ang speaking ko ng ganun kabilis. hehe. thanks sa tips! try ko next time na ibuka talaga ang bibig ko habang nagsasalita.

kymme · November 2015

@jrgongon depende po. mei bridging course na 3 months, 1 or 2 years concersion course. wala kasi reciprocity ang philippines and australia so dpat talaga mag aral.

aria · November 2015

@jrgongon not sure kung meron ka na nung Practice Tests Plus. pero yun ang gamit kong pangpractice magsagot sa Reading part. tinatime ko lang ang sarili ko na dapat masagot ko yung isang set within 32 mins. parang mas magkalevel din kasi sila nung reading ng actual. yung kay McMillan kasi mahirap masyado ang reading niya lalo na dun sa mga re-order paragraph.
just in case, eto yung link na nakita ko lang din sa forum.
