Hi All,

I would like to thank all the people who keeps posting here sa forum. Even though silent reader lang po ako got my desired scores already. What a perfect way to end and begin a year.

@Kris_New Congrats!

Happy new year indeed. You know whats next, on January 4.

Kris_New · January 2017

@Heprex thanks po. Kaya niyo po ang superior.

Advice ko lang po sa writing mo use the following template:

a."Who did what that did what, who did what which did what etc." (Summary less than 40 words dapat)

b. Make an argumentative essay (Intro, Pro, Con Conclusion)

c. The speaker was discussing...
He mentioned that ....
He talked about ....
He discussed ....
He finally concluded ...
(eto naman po sa listening with summary, 60-70 words po)

Hindi po sasablay yang templates na ganyan.

Goodluck po.

Heprex · January 2017

@Kris_New let me guess? E2language strategy?

Thanks. Hope I can make it this time.

Kris_New · January 2017

@Heprex, yes po. As far as i know hindi po sasablay ang writing templates nila. So if you follow the templates by heart sure and writing mo na nasa 82 and above.

Heprex · January 2017

@Kris_New noted! Thanks.:) Happy new year!

argelflores · January 2017

argelflores · January 2017

@Kris_New san po yung templated for writing?

Kris_New · January 2017

@argelflores i wrote the guidelines in page 362 po, if you just follow that im pretty sure you will get 80+ proven po yun. What areas do you need in writing?

argelflores · January 2017

pindiola · January 2017

@Kris_New anytips sa listening and reading? thank you

Kris_New · January 2017

@pindiola hello po. eto po sa reading.

"The most critical part about Reading is understanding what you have read. Having the capacity to read quick is also important, however keep in mind that speed is secondary to understanding."

"Read the question first and quickly go through the options given. Don’t focus too much on what the correct answer is going to be at this stage. Just get a sense of what is being asked. Now read the text given. As noted, it is important to read with the intention of understanding. Don’t think about the question, just focus on understanding the text. Once you have read it all, get back to the question and eliminate all the incorrect responses, picking the correct answer."

Sa Listening po, which particular topic? goodluck po

took the exam this morning and got the result now lang..
sana ITA na naman bukas..
Thank you Lord!

Heprex · January 2017

@chehrd congrats!

Sakto sa invite rounds. Godbless sa iyo.

2pe · January 2017

@chehrd congrats! Sabay tyo kanina. Di tyo nakapagmeet sayang.
I also got the result just now. Unfortunately I did not achieve superior english. Try ulet... haayyy. Pero malaking tulong ang mga tips nyo guys. Nasabay lang sa holiday celebrations kaya di ko masyado nakapagfocus magreview. Sa Jeddah nako mag 3rd take.

All the best sa ating lahat!
never give up for our dreams...

Share ko lang pala, essays ko were:
1. Sports and games to be removed from school timetable. Agree or disagree.
2. In the past 100 years, there have been many inventions such as antibiotics, airplanes and computers. What do you think is the most important of them? Why? (included in Dylan Aung's list #18)

Also, at the Intro part, I took advantage of this to prepare since it was not timed. Sinunod ko yung tips nyo na i-maximize yung audio checking.

Just to add, I tried to read aloud all the instructions in the Intro part, halos lahat ata binasa ko. I think I spend +15min dito, hehe. Nakatulong sya sakin para ma-aassess yung volume ng voice ko at practice narin for the Read Aloud part. Nung nagstart na yung exam, mas comfortable nako mag read aloud. Too bad nga lang I was not able to ace the exams.

Hope these somehow help.

Godspeed to all of us.

Heprex · January 2017

@2pe congrats!! Galing. Konti na lang.

2pe · January 2017

One more thing pa pala guys, for those of you na interested makuha yung secluded room, you need to get the #1 cue during the registration. Either you need to be the first one in line or you can just do a ninja move... I noticed the guy who got the #1, he came in later than me, I was #9. But what he did, he went immediately sa registration desk to get the number #1 cue. Ang procedure kasi, the administrator will hand over the policy paper then will instruct you to get the number cue once you're done reading the test rules. Most of us binasa muna talaga namin yung document bago kme kumuha ng cueing number. Yng mahusay nating kababayan, he already knows what to do. Ayun, he got the room, nice move. For sure it was not his 1st time. Baka nandito din sya sa forum. hehehe... Peace!

2pe · January 2017

Just to share lang po. Napansin ko sa SkillSelect site na bumalik na sa 65pts. yung cutoff for 2335. Last time kc tinaas sa 70pts kaya inadvice pko kumuha ng PTE (Superior English) to gain the additional pts. So I think no need na to achieve superior english sa pte if this is the case. Anybody here with the same case po? Thanks.

@Kris_New yan po ba ginamit nyo sa actual PTE exam yang template ng e2language for 'summarize spoken text'? di ko kasi ginamit yan kahit nung first take ko. actually sinubukan ko sya sa mock exam nung first take ko tapos binago ko sa second mock, medyo malaki yung difference ng score ko sa mock sa writing without using it kaya di ko na sya ginamit sa actual PTE. yung first take ko was 77 and yung second was 76 sa writing. Anong suggestion mo. Ang iniisip ko kasi yung essay ko ang may problema kaya di ako umabot ng 79.

dorbsdee · January 2017

@vanessajoy bibili po ako sa prepractice nasa 60USD po yung dalawang mock na may practice test. pwede ka rin bumili ng isa pero nasa 36USD.
