dddrew · May 2016

@smoothann1 after booking, may 1 month preparation ako to familiarize myself with the exam. Siguro may factor din yung nature ng work ko sa preparation.

Took the exam yesterday!
Mahirap sya since it is time pressured.

Ako yung last na dumating at pagpasok ko madami na nagsstart. I didnt know kung tama ba posisyon ng mic ko since nung tinest ko medyo may buga ng hangin.

But to my surprise ako yung unang natapos kinabahan tuloy ako kung tama ba ginawa ko. Basta right after I speak, I click next right away. Hindi ko tinatapos yung time.

Just now, I received the scores and thank God I passed!

congrats! @ArchillesDavid @chewychewbacca!

chewychewbacca · May 2016

@theunknownbox Doesn't have to be super loud voice. Just make sure that the mic is positioned properly between your lower lip and chin.

Hihingalin ka if you speak too loud.

paulcasablanca1980 · May 2016

Wow congrats.super lakas po ba dapat ang boses?or pwede na average volume lng

suggest to make your voice louder, ma overpower ka nang mga kasabay mo, it worked for me.

chewychewbacca · May 2016

ArchillesDavid · May 2016

I made the right choice of taking PTE rather than IELTS. Malaking tulong ang forum na ito and the review materials na shinare ng members! Just waiting for my vetassess assessment then EOI na.

shye428 · May 2016

hi guys, question to those who passed with flying colors. hehe did you use the template for describe image and retell lecture? or should it be different in every graph or lecture given?
thanks in advance sa tips!

se29m · May 2016

@shye428 same template

Hi everyone, can somebody interpret the last two sentence in this Q? I've encountered this twice sa PTE Academic exam but still clueless ako kung anong sagot.

Multiple Choice Multiple Answers: Turks and Caicos

The Turks and Caicos Islands are a multi-island archipelago at the southern tip of the Bahamas chain, approximately 550 miles south-east of Florida. The islands are an overseas territory of the United Kingdom although they exercise a high degree of local political autonomy. The economy of the islands rests mainly on tourism, with some contribution from offshore banking and fishing.

Primary schooling is divided into eight grades, with most pupils entering at the age of four years and leaving at twelve. After two kindergarten years, Grades 1-6 are covered by a graded curriculum in maths, language and science that increases in difficulty as pupils get older. There is little repetition and pupils are expected to progress through primary school in their age cohorts. At the end of primary schooling, pupils sit an examination that serves to stream them in the secondary setting. Primary and secondary school enrolment is virtually universal.

There are a total of ten government primary schools on the islands. Of these, seven are large enough to organize pupils into single grade classrooms. Pupils in these schools are generally grouped by age into mixed-ability classes. The remaining three schools, because of their small pupil numbers, operate with multigrade groupings. They serve communities with small populations whose children cannot travel to a neighbouring larger primary school. Pupils in these classes span up to three grade and age groups.

As far as classroom organization is concerned, the multigrade and monograde classrooms are similar in terms of the number of pupils and the general seating arrangements, with pupils in rows facing the blackboard. There is no evidence that the multigrade teachers operate in a particularly resource-poor environment in the Turks and Caicos Islands. This is in contract to studies conducted in other developing country contexts.

Which is true about the last paragraph?
__. Not correct choice - forgot
__. Not correct choice - forgot
__. Organization in both multigrade and monograde classroom is the same. – correct
__. Multigrade teachers operate in a resource-poor environment. -- ??
__. Studies in Turks and Caicos is better than that of the developing countries -- ??

Lex55 · May 2016

Hi anyone po nka experience to request a rescore with PTE?

ArchillesDavid · May 2016

@ArchillesDavid sir ano po preparation mo at gano katagal.

@smoothann1 roughly 1 month, I purchase the gold kit in PTE review. In Both practice test A and B I failed in speaking maybe because of the headphones that I used. But on the actual test I got 83.

garfield · May 2016

Ang baba ng score ni husband sa set 1 ng gold kit test. More practice pa sa May 28 test nya

I hope we can soon graduate from this and move forward to our next goal

chewychewbacca · May 2016

@garfield @tobby The mock is more difficult than the actual exam. They purposely do that so that the test takers are prepared for the actual exam. I got R67 and W77 for the mock exam. Don't feel too bad about the mock. Just keep practicing. Sobrang helpful din yung advice sa Page 98 and 166 of this thread.
