PTE ACADEMIC

mrkanncpa · September 2016

@dorbsdee The essay topic might not exactly the same as Dylan Aung's pero closely related, so more or less magkaka-idea ka na what to write.

mrkanncpa · September 2016

@eking Hi! If I may answer, Dylan Aung is this blogger who posted several sample essays based on actual PTE topics. Just google his name and mag-aappear na yung blog nya.

@mrkanncpa okay, thanks ha! meron ako nyan kaya lang di ko tinitignan kala ko lang pang notes lang.

i tried speech-to-text ba yon.pero ang bilis mawala.

thanks ulit. malapit na exam ko

mrkanncpa · September 2016

@michel_75 Pag hindi ka marinig nung app kusa syang nagsstop mag-type ng words. Good luck on your exam! Focus and pray lang lagi

michel_75 · September 2016

@mrkanncpa thank you. pang record lang sya talaga. hindi aya kagaya ng speech-to-text na ittxt nya yong maririnig nya? sensya ka na ha sa low tech kasi ako hehehe

@michel_75 Pwede nyo po check dito to guide you depending on the device that you're using:

In my case naka-Android ako so what I did lang was to tap the mic on my keyboard tapos started talking. Tapos ita-type naman sya automatically ng Evernote.

@mrkanncpa yan ang gusto ko yong itatype nya yong sinasabi ko para malaman ko kung naiintindihan nya sinasabi ko. thanks so much ha. buti na lang OL ka now. thanks thanks!

@mrkanncpa hi anong ginawa mo to increase speaking score? i only got 48 in speaking sa actual exa. i think confiden naman ako and okay yung microphone. nirerecord ko nmn sabi namn ng nakakarinig naiintndhan. I want to book again pero I don't know kung panno magrereview sa speaking. Sinunod ko din mga tips dto.

aje15 · September 2016

may effect ba kung male or female candidate sa pagsasalita?

mrkanncpa · September 2016

@aje15 Nag-post na po ako sa thread ng speaking tips ko before, you may find it here:
http://pinoyau.info/discussion/4233/pte-academic/p218

I-emphasize ko lang na neutral accent lang ang gamitin, and at conversational-level ang volume. Be confident din as the software can detect hesitations on your voice. May I know pala your enabling skills score on Oral Fluency and Pronunciation? It may help din kasi to look into those two. Don't give up, keep practicing

aje15 · September 2016

hello thank you sa post ng link basahin ko. yung oral fluency 45 then pronunciation 47. I think im confident enough. haay

@aje15 try to use academic collocations (attached) when you're speaking. You can easily incorporate these words in describe image section. Your oral fluency and pronunciation are way too low that could be the reason that your speaking is very low as well. Kahit kasi sabihin mo confident ka pero kong di ma recognize the computer and mga sinasabi mo wala din. kaya adjust ka.

mrkanncpa · September 2016

@aje15 Red flags din both factors, yung Oral Fluency and Pronunciation. Boost mo tong dalawang to and surely magiimprove din ang speaking score. Go over their criteria and listen to sample responses and how PTE graded it. You may recognize some mistakes na kino-commit mo din pala.

jample · September 2016

Mababa din po ang Oral Fluency ko kaya nag-woworry din po ako. Kailangan ko po na makakuha ng at least 79 sa lahat para makuha ko po yung 20 pts for my visa application. Sa October 12 po ako ulit mag-take pero super kinakabahan parin ako. Sana po mabigyan niyo pa po ako ng tips at encouragement lalo na sa mga same yung naging struggle sa Speaking.

batman · September 2016

@jample mahaba pa time to study. try mo ang shadowing if it works for you, coz it works in improving my speaking from 66 to 79. http://deepenglish.com/2011/10/shadowing/

jample · September 2016

Maraming maraming salamat po @batman ! Susubukan ko rin po ito. After reading this forum po, narealize ko na nagkulang po talaga ako sa pagcheck sa mic pati po yung paglinaw ng pananalita ko. Kaya sobrang baba ng Oral Fluency ko na feeling ko po humatak talaga sa score ko sa Speaking,

jample · September 2016

@batman Tinake niyo po itong one week free course? Salamat po ulit sa tulong niyo!

batman · September 2016

@jample i did not take any paid courses in English I just practice on you tube. lot of materials are there. Make sure that you will not take for granted other section baka doon ka nmn bumaba pag speaking ka lng naka focus. give more time sa kung san ka mahina pero isabay mo din yung iba.

cogie19 · September 2016

@jample...god bless!

guenb · September 2016

Anyone tried using google voice search to practice if the pc recognizes your pronunciation? Medyo katuwa din sia and syempre it's free.

vylette · September 2016

@guenb looks like mamaya na PTE mo ah....goodluck! kaya mo yan

pikachu13 · September 2016

Took the exam yesterday and finally naka move on na din at makapag assess na hehe
L=80 R=70 S=74 W=79
Salamat sa mga tips dito sa forum na eto

mrkanncpa · September 2016

@guenb Tried it, enjoy sya. Haha and I noticed na mas accurate yung voice recognition ng Google.

mrkanncpa · September 2016

@jample All the best in your preparation! You still have time

Find exercises on YouTube lang and always be mindful of your enunciation and tone.

rami · September 2016
