PTE ACADEMIC

ajdee · May 2017

@PMPdreamer Sa multiple choice, nakatulong sakin yung collocations list ng PTE. Check this out. Binasa ko to lahat the day before my exam para fresh.

Important rin yung re-order paragraph. Practice lang lagi. Pag mali nakuha, check lagi correct sequence then analyse. With that, masasanay ka sa different kinds of paragraph ordering.

PMPdreamer · May 2017

@zena_mhae dito po sa pinas...

PMPdreamer · May 2017

@Grifter written discourse is yung transition ng idea, gamit ka ng in addition, nevertheless, however, etc..

PMPdreamer · May 2017

@ajdee @aisleandrow thanks po sa tip.. feeling ko nga din kelangan ko improve yung reorder paragraph saka collocations... nauubusan na kasi ako ng review materials nakakabisado ko na yung sagot...

PMPdreamer · May 2017

@aisleandrow nothing to be ashamed of, in fact idol nga kita dahil di ka sumuko...

aishee5 · May 2017

Hi Guys,

I need help, how do you ace the Listening part?

PinoyMech · May 2017

@ajdee ask ko lng magkano dito s pinas kpag ngparescore? I've taken my exam this May 2 lng and got my result last week lng due to pearson technical problems. My results S90/W83/R71/L83. Pwde p kya ko mgparescore?

Another thing medyo curious lang po ako s points nyo s visa 189 - 60 points lng kyo even though you already got 20 points on your english requirements?

PinoyMech · May 2017

@moogz01 I also experience the same thing before and got my score after two weeks p. Try nyo po ung customer service chat nla kaso may oras lng cla. http://pearsonvue.com/pte/contact/

Hello everyone,

Baka naman pwede magtanong, nalilito kasi ako sa scoring.

Took the exam on 17 May and here's the result (received it late afternoon):
L 77
R 75
S 53
W 90

Grammar 90
Oral fluency 45
Pronunciation 44
Spelling 19
Vocabulary 87
Written discourse 90

Kung 19 ang spelling, at 90 ang written, san ako nagkamali?
Nakaka affect ba na maingay ang environment sa speaking? O dahil nakatapat siya sa bibig at hindi sa ilong?
Di kasi talaga ako naghanda, di ko alam anu ano components ng speaking...
Pero di ko maintindihan yung scoring, valid kaya to para magpa recount?

Thank you in advance sa sasagot

ajdee · May 2017

@PinoyMech no idea po kung magkano ang magparescore sa pinas. Based po sa experience ng iba, sobrang slim ang chance para mag improve ang score unless sa "open ended questions" na hindi ko parin gets kung ano yun. Si @kuya.king nagbigay din sya ng advice tungkol sa rescoring.

Sent you a pm po hehe.

aishee5 · May 2017

@ajdee thanks a lot!!

CathyCathy11 · May 2017

Hi,

I received an email with regards to my request for rescore. Unfortunately, there has not been a change to my score. I wasted another $$$ . I would suggest not to go for rescore for both IELTS and PTE.

tsenrejean24 · May 2017

hello, has anyone tried to access the pte website? I'm unable to log in to my account.

moogz01 · May 2017

kakareceive ko lang ng score ko kagabi. and got my target score. hehe.. L- 72 R-78 S-90 W-68

Salamat kay sir @albertus1982 malaking tulong yung template nya sa speaking. hehe..
if ever kinulang yung template nya nag add ako ng filler for retell and describe image.

Filler 1: Furthermore, the speaker/image also delineates about the information that.. (simple sentence lang Ex. "the blue car is expensive.")

Filler 2: Moreover, the speaker/image also depicts about the details that.. (simple sentence number two)

Filler 3: And also, the speaker/image also explained about the fact that.. (simple sentence 3)

Make sure makakuha ka lang ng 3-4 simple sentence, ok na yun isunod mo nalang sa filler each hanggang maubos yung time. Pero most of the time hanggang second filler lang nagagamit ko emergency nalng yung filler 3 pag wala na talaga ko masabi. hehe.. Pero hardwork talga kelangan, siguro for 1 month araw araw ako nag ppractice test ng speaking: 10 describe image, 10 retell, 10 minutes na repeat sentence sa youtube at 10 pages ng isang novel para sa read aloud. Mga 1 hour everyday.. hehe..

Sa reading di ako masyado nag practice, hobby ko kasi mag basa ng mga books mostly mga non-fiction. nag practice lang ako everyday ng 10 reorder paragraph, dun talga ko nahhrapan e.

Sa writing naman, nag check lang ako ng videos sa youtube. https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCdWnyAPowoMl57MDY2w2yqw
yung channel nya lang yung sinunod ko tsaka e2 language. hehe..

Sa listening, di ako masyado nag review.. Mahilig din kasi ako makinig ng podcast, so nakatulong din yun. Download nyo yung app na "Castbox". tapos madami ng topic dun na pwede pakinggan. Ok yung podcast ng TED talk. hehe..

At syempre pinaka importante is prayer. hehe..

Yung english ko is average lang, kaya nagulat ako na 90 ako sa speaking.. haha..

Faith. Confidence. Discipline.

Hello everyone,

Would like to share my experience in taking PTE.

Booked Exam - 9 April 2017
Review Period - 9 Apr to 7 May 2017
Exam Date - 8 May 2017
Results - 16 May 2017 - got Superior for all areas

References: E2 Language.com (paid for the Academic Express Package), Sample reviewers, tips in pinoyau. Huge help in learning the techniques in e2language. ‘D na din ko nagpurchase ng questions sa pte website.

Tips:
1. Familiarize yourself with each of the exam types for all sections (Speaking, Reading, Writing, Listening). This helps a lot especially there is no cue on what would be the next question.
2. Spent 2 days for all theories and techniques to use for each section (e.g. retell lecture, describe image, essay, etc.).
3. Answered all sample questions for the rest of the review period.
4. For speaking, I positioned the mic just below my lips. I also took time to record and listen to my voice until I am satisfied with the recording of my voice. Mga 5 minutes ata ako dito kakaulit magrecord.

SPEAKING and WRITING:
First part of the exam. Nalurkey at nawindang ako na sabay sabay kaming lahat sa speaking. You really need to focus and filter out outside noise. And since this was the first part, I got a bit lost with the format that suddenly shift from one sub-section to another.
1. Read Aloud - Use the time allocated before the recording starts. I literally read the paragraph using same tone, diction, etc. Flag all words that you cannot pronounce properly. Once the recording starts, maintain a good pace and don’t stop or repeat the words that you did not manage to pronounce properly. Diretso lang sa pagbasa.

2. Describe Image - I’ve used the following format. The graph represents ________ title of the graph. The lowest/highest ____ followed by.... Overall, the information is accurate and concise. This can be used as a reference for future studies of similar topic.
Don’t use umm, err. Describe what you see and don’t complicate your words.

3. Retell lecture - You’ll need pen and paper here. Look at the picture on screen and note down words that may be used by the speaker. Once the speaker starts, jot down the main topic and 5 more keywords that you can use once the recording starts.

4. Repeat sentence and answer short question - I just focused on the speaker.

5. Summarize written text - Get the main idea and filter out paragraphs or sentences that stands only as evidence or examples.

6. Essay - I used 4 paragraphs here. Para1) Introduction, 3 sentences. Para2/3) Agree/disagree on the topic, 4 sentences each. 4) Conclusion, 3 sentences.

READING:
1. Multiple choice, choose single answer and multiple answer - Skim through the question prompt and choices. This will give you an idea of what exactly to look for when reading.
For multiple answer, choose at least 2 answers. If you’re not sure on the 3rd answer, better not select it.

2. Reading and writing: Fill in the blanks - the more collocation you know the more chances of winning, Chos! But seriously, it helps to know a lot of collocation for this section.

3. Reorder paragraph - choose the sentence that can stand alone without any supporting sentences.

LISTENING:
1. Summarize spoken text - I used the same format with retell lecture.

2. Multiple choice questions/fill in the blanks - again, collocation will help.

3. Highlight the correct summary - similar with reading section on multiple choice, skim through the question prompt and choices.

4. Select missing word - quickly go through the choices and focus on what the speaker is saying.

5. Highlight incorrect word - focus on the speaker and use the cursor to point at each word while the speaker is talking.

6. Write from dictation - I find this easier compared to repeat sentence. Don’t forget to always start with capital letter and end with full stop/period (.). If you forgot to put the period (.), you’ll get zero.

Last but definitely not the least, PRAY.
