I was once struggling to pass PTE. 65 lang rrequirement ko so akala ko madali lang kaya di ko sineryoso yung 1st take ko. so eto grade ko:
L/R/S/W = 56/69/48/67 (Sept 24 2016)
Speaking : Mic position - nasa mouth tapos nagblow ako kasi kala ko tapos na haha so narecord yun
Read aloud - wala ako intonation tapos akala ko kasi kapag dahan dahan magsalita tataas pronunciation. Hindi pala. repeat sent: napapause ako kasi d ako sanay. Describe image:
wala ako template nyan at i'm trying to describe everything which is my default way of thingking..so it ended up stutter kasi hindi makasabay bibig ko sa thoughts na gusto ko sabhn. retell- pinakanhrapan ako..di ko masabay yung cnsb sa sinusulat..
listening : I missed last two write dictation na mataas pala yung mark so mabaab grade ko.
So inassess ko pagkukulang ko. ngsearch ako sa net nakita ko to forum.
Then ganito ginawa ko: ngpahinga ako mga 3-4weeks kasi puno na booking.
Naka 2 ourchase ako ng mock test online para magauge ko yung grade ko then gamit ko yung earphone lang kasi wala ako headset.
Ganito inaral ko:
Read aloud: Normal tone of voice. No need to make it loud. promise!otherwise sisitahin ng centre. Basahin maige yung paragraph habang hnd pa recording then don't make false start dapat confident sa unang word palang. maintain your tone.
Then yung pagread medyo binilisan ko kasi mabagal ako magbasa noon. Pero yung definition ng binilisan naging equivalent as normal pacing. for example : "China, therefore, increased their stocks"(dalawang comma yan pero pagkabasa ko China (0.2 sec) therefore (0.2 sec) so mabilis lang hnd aabot ng (0.5 sec) pero kapag yung sample ng sentence ganito: "Crops include barley, rice, bread, (cgro mga 0.4 secs) mas obvious yung pause ng konti. Gets nyo? Tapos kapag 'period' ang indicator ko isa one inhale.
Repeat sentence: Practice talaga to kasi hirap na hirap ako dati. Nilagay ko yung lahat ng repeat senteces ni Kelly at Macmillan sa ipod ko tapos paulit ulit as ulit ulit tlaga (kapag nasa train ako, or naghhntay ng bus yun lang pineplay ko kahit memorise ko na yung sentences) Yung una, 1st phrase pakinggan ko tapos pause then recite 1st phrase then play ulit then 2nd phrase pause and recite then recite whole sentences. (gawin mo to one week effective)
Describe image: Make a template .
The (chart/graph) projected on the screen is entitled (--) between (years covered, if there's any)
Based on the presented data, it can be clearly seen that (--- has/have the highest/largest ..(title e.g car theft among others).
Figures for (e.g 1998 is approximately 98% of car theft) or (America has approximately 98% of car theft in 1998) whereas the lowest is/was (1992 at only 20% or Australia at only 20%)
Therefore, this graph is accurate and concise and can be used as reference for future studies ff the same objective.
* note: kung pano pacing ng read aloud, ganun ka din dapat magsalita dito

Retell lecture :Well, dahil di ko masulat ang cnsabi at kahit gumawa ako ng bullet points, pagdating sa recording nawawala ako at di ako makconstruct so dahil naidentify ko weakness ko gumawa ako strategy:
Gumawa din ako template hehe: (kasi nga oral fluency at pronunciation ko nagfocus kesa sa content)
The speaker mainly talks about (title) and a significant amount of time was spent in discussing this topic.
According to the speaker, there are 3 main points in the lecture.
Firstly, he/she mentioned that (1st sentence)
Secondly, he/she sugegsted that (2nd sentence)
Lastly, he/she suggested that (third sentence)
In a nutshell, it is clear and interesting as a learning tpic
So 3 sentences lang sinulat ko tapos hindi na ako nakinig. inaayos ko nalng sa notepad ko yung sentence structure para babasahin ko nalang xa sa notes ko at hnd ako mastutter. (pero yung template memorise ko na para yung 3 sentences ko lang yung isulat ko kasi pag sinulat mo pati template mauubusan ka ng time)
Answer short : Gumawa ka ng sagot kahit di mo alam hehe tapos confident sagot. Hindi patanong yung answer. (e.g Thermometer??-- wag ganun!)
Writing : Hindi ako nagreview dito kasi tamad ako magsulat pero i didnt let my guard down so nagbbsa parin ako sample na writing and topics from dylan sa net. I believe madali lang yung writing:)
Reading : 2 exams ng reading ako per day for one week from macmillan or youtube or kelly or lofoya esp jumbled paragraphs.
Pagapsok ko sa office nagbbsa agad ko ng yahoo news or science daily for 30 mins.
Nagsusulat ako ng vocabularies sa notebook ko na maencounter ko per day e.g burgeon, colossal, nominal, swot, disparage etc) at collocations na naencounter ko (marami sa macmillan) pag nagsagot ka magallot ka one hour to check answers and study it.
Nasita pa nga ako dito kasi ang lakas ko daw magbasa so hinulaan ko last 2 ques kasi ubos an oras ko. Biansa ko yung may maganda pakinggan cgro skill na rin yun kasi nappractice lagi so alam mo yung joke time na choices or exag or parang mali.
Listening : Fill in d blanks sinusulat ko muna habang nagsslita xa tapos saka ko na transfer sa comp kapag natapos na recording. mabagal ksi ako magtype. Tapos papakinggan ko maige yung convo. lalo na sa multiple choice para maintndhan yung thought hindi porket nabanggit nya yung word sa convo at nakita mo sa choices ayun yung tamang sagot. yun pala trick lang yun.
medyo madali lang to kaya makinig lagi ng english we speak or english radio at wag manood ng movie ng may subtitle.:)
Feel free to message me if may questions!
Thank you Lord ulit! Superior english! woo
Note: di mo kailangan magng magaling sa english to nail it kundi practice, determination at praywers!

sa listening alam ko talaga bagsak ako kasi i missed last 4 questions (dictation)..
sa writing ang hindi ko alam kung bakit..kasi sa mock test mataas score ko..
result proper naman is ang grammar ko is 90, written disclosure 80, vocabulary 85..
does it have something to do sa hindi ko nasagot na dictation sa listening? na parang related sila?

may result na ako.
sa listening alam ko talaga bagsak ako kasi i missed last 4 questions (dictation)..
sa writing ang hindi ko alam kung bakit 57
result naman is ang grammar ko is 90, written disclosure 80, vocabulary 85, spelling 90..
does it have something to do sa hindi ko nasagot na dictation sa listening? na parang related sila?
any idea po saan ako nadali? para doon ako magfocus..salamat..

the only way I see it is that you probably exceeded words in write essay for example.
If you miss the last part of listening, I guess yun yung "Write from dictation"? Partly writing din kase sya. 1 point din sya for each correct word spelled correctly.
Hope this helps.
