    @dhada12345 hi! If weakness mo yung writing, i suggest try to consider PTE exam instead of IELTS.. Based on my husband's experience, sa IELTS 6 or 6.5 lang lagi score nya but in PTE he got a score of 78 which is equivalent to 7.5.. :)

    @sc_march bro, sa exam ko may pie chart, line graph na may 4 lines, combination ng bar graph at line graph, 2 maps (demographic study), saka isang 5 x 3 na table.

    Yung 5 x 3 table sa describe image mejo nasurprise ako because I have not encountered such image before in any reviewer. Ang ginawa ko dito, binanggit ko yung highest and lowest value ng 3 columns and kung ano yung trend.

    Mejo komplikado yung mga images na lumabas sa exam ko, kaya lagi ako nauubusan ng oras. hindi ko na masyado nagamit ang templates dahil kulang ang 40 seconds ko kaka explain nung mga values sa graph.

    @dhada12345 hi, ito ung ginawa ko sa writing: 4 paragraphs, 1 paragraph for intro and conclusion, 2 paragraphs for body.

    paragraph 1 (intro) - pinaabot ko ng 50 words. Dito pwede mo i-rephrase yung question, pamparami kumbaga ng words saka para ma-set mo yung main summary ng essay mo.

    paragraph 2 & 3 (body) - supporting statements/examples to ng intro mo. Paabutin mo 100 words per paragraph. Cite examples to support your statements.

    paragraph 4 (conclusion) - Bigay ka lang ng mga closing statements at kung ano yung outcome or side mo sa argument. Paabutin mo mga 30 to 50 words.

    Total mo nyan nasa 280 - 300 words, pag umabot ng ganun, mataas taas na makukuha mo sa writing. Look out for grammatical errors and spelling.

    Try mong gawan ng 300 word essay tong mga questions na to.. mahahasa ka dito: http://dylanaung.blogspot.sg/2015/04/pte-academic-essay-questions-and-ideas.html

    Hope it helps..

    hi guys..thank you sa mga tips..i've been reading the forum and im about to take my 2nd attempt at PTE this thursday..speking yung struggle ko, 68 score ko sa first take tapos 79 ang aim ko..

    by the way, ask ko lang dun sa read aloud, if tapos ka na before the alloted time and my 15 secs left, hinintay nyo maging 'completed' ang status ng recording? or nag click agad kayo ng 'next' button'?..

    @dtrax oo bro, ubos ang oras. d pa kasi tapos yung sentence na sinasabi ko "completed" na. Kaya after exam sobrang down ako kasi kala ko nalintikan na. Advice ko is pag mga 35 out of 40 seconds seconds na, itigil mo na yung pag describe sa graph at gamitin mo na yung conclusion template mo.

    @sc_march bro pag nakakita ka ng kakaiba, wag kang kakabahan. kalma ka lang hehe. Mejo nahirapan lang ako kunin yung trend pag table kasi syempre walang lines eh. Pero ok lang kahit hindi tama yung sinabi mo. Ang importante salita ka lang ng salita. Gaya nga ng sabi ng ibang forumers dito, mas malaking impact ang oral fluency at pronunciation kesa sa content.

    @dtrax na-anticipate ko na rin yung ganung scenario.. kaya ang ginawa ko, nag handa ako ng 2 conclusion templates. Para pag may natirang oras pa after ko sabihin ung 1st template, meron pang pahabol na isa para lang ma-fully utilize yung 40 seconds.

    example:
    Conclusion template 1: The data presented is accurate and concise, ergo, it can be used as a reference material for a future study.

    Conclusion template 2: This is specifically useful to the government/research institution who wishes to dwell further into this subject.

    D ko lang masyado nagamit yung templates kasi ang daming data dun sa graph at images na lumabas sa akin. Pero useful ung conclusion template sa retell lecture.
