    @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 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.

    @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.

    @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!

    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.

    @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!

    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!
