1. http://ieltsadvantage.com/writing-task-2/ para sa writing tips, practice topics at Write Essay template
2. Practice tests and scored mock test sa www.tcyonline.com para sa reading at repeat sentence practice (pero aralin muna yung mga strategy/technique bago magbabad sa practice tests. For me, mag isang practice test ka muna to assess yourself and then study accordingly. You can practice muna using YouTube videos tas pagnasanay ka na with the templates then magfull Practice Tests ka na)
3. E2 PTE Webinar YouTube videos para sa tips sa "Summarize Written Text", "Describe Image", "Reading: Fill in the Blanks" at "Speaking: Read Aloud" --> Dito mo matutunan yung mga templates at makakuha ka ng important tips
4. Mismong scored mock tests galing sa ptepractice.com
5. Free membership sa e2learning --> Doon merong Lesson kung papano magsulat ng paragraph sa e2learning.com and may access ka sa free webinars nila every week. May mga mock exam walk through din sila pagkakaalam ko every Tuesday ata.
6. Practice ng re-arrange paragraph sa Lofoya --> www.lofoya.com/Verbal-Test-Questions-and-Answers/Parajumbles/l1p1
@frappz try yung Lofoya (#6 sa list) para magpractice ng re-order paragraph. Malaking tulong din ang practice tests ng tcyonline pagdating sa reading section.
Good luck!
