1st take nyo po ba @Heprex ? Sana positive na result.ang gagaling nung mga nakakuha ng mababa sa una tapos matataas na yung scores after. Nakakabilib. Sana ganun din ako. :-S

Heprex · December 2016

@Gee Yes, 1st take ko. sila inspirasyon ko dito. ibig sabihin walang imposible. tyaga at sikap lang talaga.

Gee · December 2016

Thank you @Heprex pa share ng tips ha saka pag may score ka na rin. Goodluck! For sure, mataas yan kasi very helpful ng mga tips nila. Nakakakaba lang talaga.

Gee · December 2016

Consistent po ba na isang template lang ang ginamit ninyo for the exam? Hindi na pinapalitan ng words? Okay lang po ba yun?

KHIM · December 2016

dorbsdee · December 2016

dorbsdee · December 2016

@Heprex where po kayo nagexam tsaka ano po naging essay questions? thanks po...

momsienikki · December 2016

@Heprex exam ni hubby bukas. Kamusta exam mo? Basta ginawa mo ang best mo, then dasal. Bahala na si Lord. Super ingay ba nila?

Heprex · December 2016

@dorbsdee Sa Trident Tower po, eto essay ko kanina. "
Some people believe that law can change human behavior. Do you agree / disgree?"

@momsienikki Godbless sa hubby mo bukas.

Eto lang massuggest ko, kunin nya yung number 1, pag katapos nya mag basa ng guidelines, unahan nya. Medyo may pakaseparate yung cube na yun compare sa iba, parang solo lang ako sa room, kaso malakas talaga mga salita pag nag umpisa na.pero the best pa din pag late ng konti, para tahimik na iba bago mag start ng speaking.

momsienikki · December 2016

@Heprex okay. Sabihin ko sakanya. Ano pinaka mahirap na part? Buti pa ikaw tapos na. Wait wait nalang ng results. I will pray for you tonight.

Heprex · December 2016

@momsienikki Thanks.

Reading ako, lakas ng time pressure eh. Sa speaking naman nadyan na mga diskarte at tips, added disturbance lang tlga dahil dami nag sasalita. Sa listening naman, try nya sagutan ng mabilis yung summarize spoken text, yung time na remaining dun, maa-add sa rest ng items. Summarize spoken text ko is dalawa, 10mins each, natapos ko with 3 mins left for both. Tapos dun sa rest na 17 items, 26mins na lang ata. Bawat recording pa is almost 1 minute, so kahit alam mo na sagot, sa multiple choice for example, di mo sya ma next hanggat di tapos yung recording.

Another tip lang sa speaking is, i next na nya pag tapos na sya sa recording. Mahirap irisk, baka mapasama yung ingay ng ibang examinee sa record nya mismo.

momsienikki · December 2016

@kokoc yung pattern mo sa describe image, minemorize mo? Or pwede isulat sa notepad habang mic test?

Hello po @kokoc pwede po makahingi ng tips sainyo. Nakakainspire po kasi score nyo from your previous exam and sa scores nyo po ngayon. Pano po ginawa nyo, especially sa speaking? Thank you po.

@Gee Nagshare na ako sa previous. Check mo nalang. Practice is the key.

kokoc · December 2016

@dorbsdee Ganito essays ko dalawa:
Assessment through written formal examinations and dangerous activities...
magpractice ka lagi magsulat. Ganyan ginawa ko 2 essays/day.

Heprex · December 2016

Hello Guys, question lang, pag nag book ka ba ng exam, dapat ba i-tick yung send scores sa DIBP?

rich88 · December 2016

@Heprex Not necessarily. If nakuha mo na ung desired scores mo, you can do it manually from your PTE account.

Heprex · December 2016

@rich88 Thanks! na tick ko yung akin. hahaha mukang di ko na maedit yung sa PTE account. Or dahil wala pa akong scores? Status taken - scores reportable pa lang eh. wala naman impact yun no?

freakazaa · December 2016

@Heprex Sabi sa Pearson website: "For Australian visa applications, your score will have automatically been sent to DIBP when you selected 'Australia' as your chosen destination at registration."

Wala ka pang scores? Taken - Scores Reportable ata latest status.

Heprex · December 2016

@freakazaa wala pa eh. di ko alam kung bakit. baka nag dadagdag bawas pa. hahaha

rich88 · December 2016

@Heprex Wala naman kaso yun bro if na-tick mo or hinde. Iuupload mo naman sa immiaccount mo yung results pag mag lodge ka na ng visa.

After lodging ng visa, i-send mo nlng ulit sa DIBP yung result na gusto mo (if ever mag re-take ka sa future) from your PTE account.

alexsioson · December 2016

@mugsy27 In my experience, I take a deep breath before speaking then continues speaking lang... Basta try to focus on what you see in the graph or chart or diagram,... binasa ko lang ng loud and clear yung nakikita kong label sa bawat figure in the diagram (i.e. paper making cycle). Hayun nakalusot naman.. Pero dun sa one-word answer, try to make your answer as one word as possible... kumbaga, kung anong tanong, siyang sagot!

Heprex · December 2016

Got my PTE result. nakalusot sa proficient. Hahahaha

L68/R70/S83/W65

Will take again on Feb 2017. Para superior. And waiting for Victoria SS to be open on March 2017.

Edit: Thanks sa lahat ng sumasagot sa tanong ko dito sa forum na to. I can't name you all, pero sobrang thank you.

jerm_au16 · December 2016

@Heprex hnd k b nahirapan s pag manage s time sa reading task?
I took my PTE dn yesterday kaso "Delivery Successful-On Hold" ung status.

ruelcaisip · December 2016

I can definitely vouch for PTE. I am one of those who needs to get a score equivalent to a Proficient English User to get the required 60 or more points because I am over 40 when I submitted the EOI.

I took IELTS 3 times scoring 8 overall all the time but never achieved band 8 in both Writing and Speaking. I believe those modules are really very subjective to grade (bitter

). Took PTE- A and got a perfect score of 90 for all modules.

Heprex · December 2016

@jerm_au16 hirap din sir. 5mins na lang ata may 4 question pa ako. Wait mo lang email na available na result. Tiwala lang.

rej · December 2016

Hi po sa lahat ng members and contributors sa site na to

tanung ko lang po sana kung san po ang mga testing centers ng PTE academic exam sa pinas. Iisa lang kase ang nahahanap ko sa pearson site, sa Makati lang, pero from what I've been reading sa post dito is that meron pang other centers. And mas maganda po ba dun at mas mataas ang passing rate? Anyways, I took PTE exam twice already, last sept 22, 16 ( LRSW: 69, 67, 45, 76) (OF, P: 42, 43), nov 10, 16 (LRSW: 66, 64, 45, 74) (OF,P: 47, 37). Unluckily, lage akong sabit sa speaking. I don't know what to do. I feel so hopeless and depressed. When I trying ung google speech to text, okie naman ang lahat. I have template in describe image and retell lecture na sa 2nd take ko, I feel so confident but still my score is only 45. I don't know if it's because panget ang headset nila dito sa Oman. (hahahah!) But sa practice exam, I'm getting 51 sa speaking. Plan ko po sana mag take this feb, any tips po ba?Indi ko alam kung sa read aloud ba ako mali, kase di ako confident kung panu mag phrasing? I tried ung mabilis para mataas sa oral fluency at ung malakas na as in na boses sa 2nd take ko still 45 pa din. I placed my mic sa tapat talaga ng bibig ko in both of my exams. I feel so lost. Nkakapagod na din mag review ng same items tapos di ko alam kung anu paba ang dapat gwin to improve.. Pls help thanks guys!

Tried IELTS 3x: always 6.5 for Writing and Speaking
Sept 22, 16:PTE ACADEMIC: ( LRSW: 69, 67, 45, 76) (OF, P: 42, 43)
Nov 10, 16: PTE ACADEMIC: (LRSW: 66, 64, 45, 74) (OF,P: 47, 37)

chehrd · December 2016

hi @rej , makati lang test center dito sa pinas..

Heprex · December 2016

@rej I think I can help you with speaking, since yun lang mataas ako. ahaha Yung place ng mic is sa tapat ng ilong, yung almost tapat na ng eye. pag sa tapat ng bibig, narerecord yung paghinga. May I ask ano template ginamit mo? yung ke @butterflypooh42 ginamit ko, nasa page 350.
