    hi po may I know if san sa Makati yung testing center ng PTE? medyo matagal ko na kasing hinahanap sa net di ko makita. Pati yung local contact number nila di ko makita puro international yung extension.

    I have another question, sorry po... would it be advisable to resign from my work so I can prepare for the PTE? I have taken IELTS 3x + 1 remarking... still 6.5 sa writing... sobrang nakaka disappoint then i stumbled upon this thread at nagkaron ako uli ng pagasa. I feel need ko ng magresign so I can focus more to pass these English tests.

    by the way I already have 4 years experience as a registered nurse in st. lukes. Feeling ko naman more than enough na yung experience ko. gusto konapo makapag work sa Australia.

    Please enlighten me. Thank you!

    @vlademyr Makakaya m yung pagrereview while working as nurse. You just need to allot around 2-3 hours per day for your review for 2months i guess. There are alot of online review sources like e2langauge. Or if u have a tight budget, try searching for free youtube videos on PTE.

    @vlademyr wag ka na mag resign, medyo kailangan ng sapat na pera may kamahalan kasi ang process unless mayaman ka naman, go na. Hehe. Pero kidding aside, kaya ko naman mag review kahit hindi ka mag resign sa work, mas ok ang pte kesa sa ielts. Ako rin 6.5 sa writing, pero hindi na ako umulit sa ielts feeling ko ksi best na yun na sulat ko, e ano pa ang magagawa ko pag mag 2nd take? Hehe. Kaya mo yan. Ako ginawa ki, youtube lang at bumili ako ng gold kit, pero bago ko kunin ang practice exams, kinabisado ko muna yung templates.

    Sa tingin ko mas ok kung kabisado ang templates, 1st take ko, sinulat ko template, ayun nataranta ako, 58 ang speaking. Hehe

    @Dreamer07 suggest ko sayo na ipractice ang pronunciation. Malaki din kc ang factor nito lalo pa at computer ang nagsscore satin. Medyo strong kasi ang accent nating mga pinoy pagdating sa english. Try mu kausapin si Siri ng iphone o kaya si "hello google" ng android. Kung natatype nya ng maayos ung binibigkas mu, ibig sabihin ok ung pronunciation mu. Ipractice mu rin na tuloy tuloy magsalita na walang matagal na breaks.

    @vlademyr tama sila wag ka magresign. whenever you have time, magpractice ka lang. kung sa writing ka nahihirapan, try mo to https://dylanaung.blogspot.sg/ anjan mga previous na lumabas sa exams. praktisin mo nalang kung ano isusulat mo pero yung mga topic anjan na. 2x ako nag pte exam and nanjan yung dalawa sa essay ko. ito ay yung climate change at last one is regarding successful persons. dapat may template ka same as ielts. kayang kaya mo yan. :)

    @frappz hi as per sa napanuod ko sa youtube parang wala naman bearing kung mag click ka kaagad ng NEXT after mo mabasa yung passage kasi baka ma record pa ung boses ng mga nasa paligid mo.sa repeat sentence hindi ko lang alam.pero ako kasi after ko masabi ung sentence na sinabi nag ne next na ako agad kasi nag iniisip ko baka marecord pa yung boses ng iba..risky ang magsulat hanggat hindi pa pa officially nag start ang exam mo. pero merong mga gumawa nun dito nabasa ko kaya lang di ko na alm kung saang particular page.
