    Ako po yung nagtatanong before kung may chance ba na makapasa ako sa actual exam kung mababa yung MOCK TEST.



    Mock test A - LRSW - 75/56/54/74



    Nagtake ulit ako ng mock test B naman. And eto ang result ko..



    Mock test B - LRSW - 77/70/76/71



    Ang saya ko! Daig ko pa ang nakapasa sa tunay na test! Haha. Ang ginawa ko lang na iba sa reading e, parang may buhay at emotion yung pagbabasa ko. Na parang nag kukwento ka friend mo at excited ka sa mga sinasabi mo.



    At ang isa pa palang difference ay gumamit ako ng headset na maayos this time. Hindi na yung built in ng Mac.



    **** yun lang, sana magawa ko sa tunay na exam :)

    Anong target scores mo? If nakuha mo na sa mock exam yung target scores mo, then you're good as ready na for the real thing. Good luck! :D

    during sa mock test ninyo ordinary anong headset ginamit ninyo.. kasi sakin yung earphones ko lang sa phone..samsung. does that make any difference sa scoring.. my mock tests are very depressing.. from 45 to 63 to 53... frustrated na talaga ako.. pls help

    Ginamit ko lang yung mic ng iphone headset ko. Nung unang mock test ko, ang baba din ng score ko. Kinonsider ko pang bumili ng headset pero ayaw ni Lord hehehe Kasi lahat ng pinuntahan kong CDR King eh puro out of stock.

    Anyway, bandang huli, inadjust ko lang yung mic ng headset ko para mas malapit sa bibig ko. Tapos mas nilakasan (di naman sigaw) at ginawa kong mas project at confident yung pananalita ko. 2nd mock exam ko, umakyat na kagad speaking scores ko from mga level 60 to 79+. Tinuloy ko lang din yung ganong technique hanggang mismong exams.

    Good luck! :D

    @Heprex Uuy sa Monday na next take mo! Good luck! Take a deep breath and be confident lang. :) Kaya mo yan!

    Naalala ko bago ako magsimula ng exam, sinulat ko pa dun sa scratch paper na "Speak confidently and focus. :) " Write whatever will motivate you. Good luck ulit! :D

    @vanessajoy how much yung gold kit? Ask mo yung iba din, I suggest kasi,if it's around 8900, I suggest mag exam ka Na Lang and don't get the gold kit Na. Pero ask,others din. I think Kasi, if you fail the first time, consider t as a practice exam. If pumasa ka naman na, better, you save money. Suggestion Ko Lang naman :)

    @vanessajoy ah ok. Nag take din ako niyan. Forgot Na how much. Take note Lang, sa gold kit. You will,not see the right answers ha. Tas yung unli takes sa reviewer part Nila, andito Na sa thread yung mga tanong. You can access it sa mga drop,box link. Basically yung gold kit, it will just give you a feel ano yung test environment. Good luck, ok Na din kunin mo yung 3k. If may options Na to just buy the two exams, and wag Na yung unli take Na reviewer, Baka better yun

    Hi everyone, thank you sa lahat ng nagpopost and nagshishare dito ng tips and experiences nila sa pte exam.. I was able to achieve the passing grade para maka'move sa next step. :) And as a way of giving back, may isa pa kong practice test.. hindi ko na nagamit kasi ayaw dn gumana ng headset ko.. so kung sino man po may gusto, ibibigay ko na lang yung log in details ko.. nung dec ko bnili, valid for 3 mos.

    Thanks again and God bless :)
