jhyll · July 2017

Good evening po... i took my exam po last monday. til now wala pa din result ko online. ok lang po ba yun since within 5 days naman ang release ng results noh? may mga nababasa kasi ako dito na nakukuha agad nila scores nila within the day or kinabukasan.

Thank you po.

xiaolico · July 2017

@jhyll nangyari din sa akin yan. Explanation that they gave me, napili yung exam mo to be checked manually by a person. To make sure daw na yung machine checking nila is still accurate. 7 working days lalabas results mo. But it should not affect your scores daw. It's really just to check the machine checking. Good luck

@xiaolico thanks ah. Actually during may exam nag hang pc ko. Ayaw maclick nung Next button. So i called the attention of invigilator. Ni-restart nya pc ko. Pag log in nya bumalik naman sa kung san ako nag hang and same time pa din. Di naman ako nag worry. Baka dahil dun kaya natatagalan result ko.

xiaolico · July 2017

@jhyll puwede. Antay ka siguro hangang 9 working days. Pag wala pa din, email or tawag mo
Ba

dark_knight · July 2017

@poshprim It's actually your call, kung san ka mas kumportable. hindi sya nagmamatter, mas imprtante yung contents at syempre kung pano mo sinabi.

quantum · July 2017

Hi po.. im newbie here. may alam po kayong mock test na free at pwedeng ulitin na parang always learning ung title? thanks po sa mga sasagot.

Heprex · July 2017

@lizzzie Hindi ata individually timed ang mga items sa reading. Reading is 32-40 mins ata, with a total of 16-18 question. Sa pag kakatanda ko.

@quantum yung mock test ba hanap mo? Meron nag share nyan dito sa google drive, or dropbox, di ko lang maalala kung anong page. Best is to used the search bar.

missingleak · July 2017

@lizzzie like Heprex said, 32-40 mins for the entire READING so its up to you to manage your time. Ideally, 2 mins each item and on re-arange paragraph, don't go over 3 mins. Always be aware of the time on the top right corner and how many items left to answer.

lizzzie · July 2017

@Heprex @missingleak thank yous a tips! God bless! i will be mindful of that..

quantum · July 2017

@Heprex yes ung mock.. cge try ko search pag di ako nakamobile.. thanks!

Hi guys!

I'm new here. I just want to share my experience sa pgtatake ko ng PTE.
I took my PTE exam last July 18, 2017 and received my results on the following day, with these scores:

L - 83
R - 86
S - 88
W - 90

What I did a month before my exam was to watch the videos of these two youtube channels:

Navjot Brar & E2 PTE Academic.

I took it once lang guys. Meaning anyone can ace it basta focus lang.
I know the frustration kasi of needing to get a good score in an english exam. Mind you, I took IELTS 3 times already but I always get 6.5 sa Writing, yun at yun lang lagi problema ko. And in my case, I need to get IELTS of 8 or PTE of 79+ pa nga because of my age (masyado pang totoy) to meet the skilled-independent visa, in which I did. Thanks God.

If you have any questions in regards to PTE, I am more than willing to help.
Just add me or message me on facebook, Jao Jundam, kasi hindi ako laging nagoopen ng account ko dito.

All the best guys!

Heprex · July 2017

@jao.jundam Congrats!!

MLBS · July 2017

@jao.jundam Bro congrats sa scores! I received my IELTS results today (my scores are in my sig) at kailangan ko rin maka superior e kasi totoy din ako haha. I'll add you on fb ha at I apologize in advance kung marami ako itatanong kasi gusto ko rin makasuperior agad para di sayang money ng parents ko. PTE na ako agad I won't try IELTS a second time haha!

MLBS · July 2017

@zanx sir nagpafast track ba kayo sa EA assessment nyo? I'm about to submit my CDRs e. kinukumpleto ko pa. Ang bilis ng turnaround nyo a? almost 8 days lang?

jao.jundam · July 2017

@MLBS sure! Basta pakilala ka lang so that I can add you.

Hi everyone, share ko lang ang PTE journey ko

I'm not that confident with my english skills kasi hindi naman yun ang main medium of expression ko. Sa work normally, mag-english lang if may US counterpart na kausap and sa mga scrum meetings. May pagkabingi din ako kasi usually sa repeat sentence hindi ko marinig yung ibang words.

I scheduled my PTE exam last May 2. I started self-review earlier this year pero dahil busy sa work, hindi masyado makaconcentrate. Nagcram talaga ako 2 weeks before the exam. Dahil hindi ako confident based sa free sample tests, bumili ako nung scored practice test. Pikit-mata na lang kasi sabi ko "para naman to sa future".

1st scored practice test, disappointed ako sa result. Hindi man lang umabot sa competent. Got the following scores: L - 73, R - 71, S - 60, W - 67.

Cram ulit sa review. This time, nakita ko na yun Youtube channel ng E2Language. Tingin ko, malaki natulong sakin ng vids nila. Everyday puyat ako nun buti na lang may holidays dahil sa ASEAN tsaka sa Labor Day.

Since mababa yung Speaking ko sa 1st practice test, mas nagconcentrate ako dun. Sabi ko makaabot man lang ng competent ok na. Tapos napansin ko na ang ingay or may background noise yung recordings ko gamit yung iphone earphones ko na medyo luma na. So I borrowed my GFs headset. Ayun mas ok recordings. Malaking factor to lalo na sa actual exam pramis!

May 1, a day before my actual exam, I took the 2nd scored practice test. This time umabot na ko sa competent. Got the following scores: L - 80, R - 79, S - 73, W - 85.

Happy-sad moment. Happy kasi umabot na sa competent pero sad kasi sayang yung Speaking e, isa na lang superior na.

That didn't stop me, review ulit hanggang kaya pa. More focus pa dun sa I think hirap ako, describe image and retell lecture.

May 2, day of the exam, nag-go-over lang ako sa notes ko nung mga dapat tandaan. Sabi ko, I think ginawa ko naman yung best ko. Bahala na si Batman... Ni-make sure ko lang na gumagana ng maayos yung equipments, etc. Dala pala kayo bottle water, I remember uhaw na uhaw ako nung break pero wala ko tubig. Hindi ko na actually maalala yung mga nangyari during the exam, basta alam ko focus lang sa sariling exam, dapat i-block yung mga iba kasi sobrang ingay lalo na nung speaking part. Try na magsulat ng mabilis pero nababasa pa din..

May 2 ng gabi, refresh na ko ng refresh ng email ko, hindi ako makatulog kahit sobrang pagod at gustong-gusto matulog. Tapos around 2 am nakareceive ako ng email na available na daw scores. Kaso pag ni-run ko yung report, walang laman - template lang yung nakikita walang scores. So buong araw ng May 3, and I think May 4, tatry ko check if kita na yung scores. Sobrang torture!

And then finally, when I least expected it. Nakita ko na finally yung pic ko dun sa scoresheet. Ibig sabihin may scores na sa baba. Pagtingin ko ng score L - 90, R - 90, S - 90, W - 90.

Jump for joy, pero in my head lang, sobrang pagod ko nun. Haha.

Looking back, I think mas madali talaga yung actual kesa sa practice pero syempre kailangan pa din paghandaan yung mismong exam. Ayun lang po. Thanks for reading

@rechie wrong thread ka. There is a thread for ACS. But to answer your question, nagdededuct si ACS ng years depende sa mga scenarios (Course is not related to occupational assessment, etc).

I myself got a 4 year deduction kahit na buong experience ko is related to the occupation being assessed. But because I was an ECE grad I guess dun ako binawasan.

rvrecabar · July 2017

congrats @dark_knight and @jao.jundam

rechie · July 2017

@rvrecabar pasensya na, salamat sa information, sa computation ko ang binawas is 2 years, okay na rin at 5years and 3 months ang na consider. anyway. thanks again.

MissOZdreamer · July 2017

@misterV thanks sa tips

ganun nga ginawa ko sa mcma pero dahil sa time pressure hindi ko masyado naconfirm or disconfirm each option kung tama ba. Binasa ko lang ung passage once then ung choices once lang din tas choose the best answer na. Once mo lang din ba binasa passage and choices?

Ung reorder naman, I used e2language din pero more on sa meaning ko chinecheck sa una tas ung cohesion. Pero dahil sa time pressure mejo nag panic ako dito kasi alam kong etong ang weakness ko kaya di ako masyado naka focus. I think I need to spend more time reading articles and practice reading with comprehension speed. Hindi kasi ako wide reader kya struggle ko talaga reading.

MissOZdreamer · July 2017

@ara hello. Slightly above the nose ung mic ko nung second take. Nung first take between nose and upper lip. God bless sa exam

rvrecabar · July 2017

No problem @rechie Godbless sa application

MissOZdreamer · July 2017

@jerm_au16 thanks sa tips. Will do that. God bless

shielalables · July 2017

Hi guys, kakatapos ko lang magtake ng PTE kaninang umaga dito sa HK. Mejo nagstutter ako sa describe image. Yung essay na napunta sakin is about the usefulness of television, hindi ko na matandaan ang exact statement.

Good luck sa mga magtatake pa! God bless satin lahat.
