PTE ACADEMIC

@chucky hello. Yes po. Nashare ko na din dito sa forum ung template ni steven or pede mo google. Ung template kasi is tailored fit sa advantages and disadvantages. Pero pede din sya sa other types of essay, imodify mo lang ung template accordingly.

For example, ang question ay "who should be responsible for climate change- the government, large companies or individuals?". Pedeng ganito gawin mo sa template:

Intro
While some people believe that government should be responsible for climate change, others believe that it should be the individuals.

Par1
There are several reasons why the government should be responsible.

Par2
Those who argue for individuals have a different view.

Conclusion
While there are strong arguments on both sides of the case, my personal opinion is that individuals should be responsible.

Hi guys, question lang po sa mga nakagamit ng dsicount voucher. Can anyone explain the process is of obtaining and using this discount voucher? https://www.aeccglobal.com/ph/ptevoucher/

1. Bayad na ba agad upon registering sa site?
2. May promo code/voucher code ba na lalabas na kailangan iinput sa pearsonpte.com?
3. Dito ba ipapasok yung promocode sa pearsonpte.com -- "If you have been asked to provide a code or reference number, enter it here: "
4. May expiry ba yung code?

Thank you very much all.

God bless

@Heprex Thank you!

patrickcpacia · August 2017

Another question everyone. I already booked my exam this August (andaming punong schedule!) and gusto ko sana mag-avail ng practice exams online. I'm choosing between https://ptepractice.com/ and https://www.e2language.com/Home/Pte. Which one would you recommend is most helpful for say 2-3 weeks of review time.

I've already studied most of the tips and tricks in the E2 Language (youtube), answered most of the exams in PTE Gold (youtube) and marami na ring akong nakuhang tips and tricks here sa forum.

misterV · August 2017

@patrickcpacia For me, I bought the gold kit of ptepractice for the 2 sets of mock exam and e2language premium account to access the rest of the webinars and practice sets.

Heprex · August 2017

@patrickcpacia san ka mag exam? pag sa pilipinas, mostly monday-wed lang ang schedule.

If you haven't tried ptepratice yet. I would strongly recommend to try it muna. scored sya, same system sa actual. para matantya mo score mo, at mga need mo improve.

chucky · August 2017

@MissOZdreamer so ggwin lng argumentative lahat ng essay? Thankyou so much po

MissOZdreamer · August 2017

@chucky correct po

maddie02 · August 2017

@Supersaiyan thank you! Ayun nga eh, OET sabi nla is ok pero tao din though computer bases nmn si PTE which is ok dn un nga lang parang IELTS pero modified sya. Have you tried? Ok ba? Money wise mura ung PTE.

patrickcpacia · August 2017

@Heprex Pinas ako bro. Thanks! I'll keep that in mind.

@misterV I understand that the 2 mock tests are different from the "Sample Questions" portion ng package. Does this mean onti lang yung sample questions ng gold? And iba pa ba ang interface nung sample questions kaysa mock exam?

Supersaiyan · August 2017

Actually di ko pa na try parehas, pero enrolled ksi ako ngayon sa isang review centre for IELTS at nkita ko na parang may disadvantage kpg tao yung nag iiscore (just my thought and POV) so parang lumalabas you need to please or satisfy yung scorer mo to get the desired grade (Pano na lang kapag perfectionist yung maging scorer?

). Parang nkikita ko may pag asa sa PTE than IELTS or OET kasi need mo lng tlga to know the exact pattern and practice it to get your desire score. Though mganda lng sa IELTS ksi lahat ng countries ino honor sya.

hyperdex · August 2017

@chucky you may also consider this essay template. I got this from a colleague of mine and for sure na-post na rin to on this thread. I obtained a perfect score of 90 on both scored practice test and actual test using this template. hth.

Nowadays, there is an ongoing dispute between people about___. While it is possible to claim that______, my belief is that the disadvantages outweigh the advantages. This essay will give the assertion on both sides of the argument before deducing reasonable conclusion.

There are several reasons why____. Firstly, it is believed that_____. It should also be taken into consideration that____. Furthermore, there are concerns about_____.

Those who are in favour of____ have a different standpoint and say that it can actually be a good thing. First of all, these people claimed that______. Secondly, it can also be argued that_____. A third point is _____.

While there are strong contentions on both sides of the case, my personal opinion is that ________.Therefore, I would highly recommend that _______.

hyperdex · August 2017

@patrickcpacia agree with @heprex. Highly recommended talaga yung pte practice gold kit to test the waters before taking the actual assessment.

hyperdex · August 2017

@batman salamat boss. Laking tulong mga shinare mo boss

patrickcpacia · August 2017

@hyperdex Thank you

Supersaiyan · August 2017

guys does anyone here tried to write their template for describe image in the actual exam? I mean for every seconds na free? ina allow kaya yun ng nagbabantay? mas naiisip ko ksi mas mkhang ok yun kung pdeng gawin para babasahin n lng.

)

Supersaiyan · August 2017

boss, @hyperdex kinabisado mo rin ba yang template sa writing? eh yung sa describe image? Thanks.

emil1125 · August 2017

@Supersaiyan, nakapagexam na ako sa pearson (CISCO nga lang) ng ilang beses and almost thesame lang ng PTE ung approach and pwede yan kasi ako before I start the exam I did that always taking notes of the important details sa notepad na binibigay nila (Ibig sabihin allowed namn siya). Gagawin ko din ulit sya sa exam ko dito sa PTE hehehhe (jotting down the templates before starting pra nga mas confident ka na basahin nlng instead na nag-iisip ka pa) . Good Luck sa atin.

Heprex · August 2017

@emil1125 @Supersaiyan hello sa inyo, I think hindi sya pede. Kase before entering the testing area, i-oorient kayo, at sinasabi na wag mag sulat sa notepad, until mag umpisa yung exam. Which is once mag start yung item number 1. You can take the risk, but not advisable.

Supersaiyan · August 2017

@emil1125 & @Heprex thanks sa mga advices, big help, anyway nbasa ko kasi dito: http://pinoyau.info/discussion/4233/pte-academic/p104
sabi ni @faceless_man, diniskartehan nya pag sulat habang nsa part sya ng introduction. haha, muka ngang risky pero kapag naisulat mo mukang advantageous kasi babasahin n lng and mejo 1% n lng na mag buckle ka sa pagsasalita.

ReyRay · August 2017

@ReyRay puno din daw test center nung june 26. i guess swertihan na lang talaga kung di puno yung test center.

altuser41 · August 2017

Hello everyone! Itatanong ko lang sana kung may nakapagtake na ba ng exam sa Bangkok? Need ko lang sana ng input tungkol sa facilities nila. Salamat!

Supersaiyan · August 2017

haha, parang na curious ako. Gamitan ko kaya to ng ipinagbabawal na teknik

) (not literally cheating) I mean yung mag sulat sa notepad ng template habang may time? I'll let you know guys. Wish me luck.

ClmOptimist · August 2017

lumabas na ung Occupation ceiling for 2017-2018.
http://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Work/Skil#tab-content-3

Unfortunately, tumaas din mga minimum scores needed for pro rata occupations.
I don't know if it's for good or inuubos lang nila ung backlog nila.

Kailangan na talaga mag-retake ng PTE

ReyRay · August 2017

@dark_knight thanks po sa sagot. iniisip ko lang kasi parang awkward yung sa speaking pag andami nyo tsaka baka nappickup ng mic mo yung sinasabi ng katabi mo..hehe try ko na lang yung pinakamaaga cguro para pwede pa pumasok sa office pagkatapos ng exam..hehe
