    @KevinDavidson yup sa speaking kahit hindi mo maperfect yun repeat sentence. Basta masabi mo yun natatandaan mong words at makabuo ka ng sentence without hesitation at fillers.

    Malaking impact din kung ma-ace mo yung read aloud. Sa describe image naman basta masabi mo ng maayos yun intro mo sa graph/chart/diagram tapos sabihin/basahin mo na lang kung ano nakikita mo sa screen without hesitations din sa boses mo at fillers. Sa retell lecture ok talaga kung may template ka dito at magsulat ng notes. You can write your template pala sa first part ng describe image. Sa pinakaunang describe image mo, after macomplete, click mo yun next. May lalabas na dialogue box, wag mo muna iclick yun ok. Hindi naman magpoproceed yun hanggat hindi mo kiniclick yung ok. Tapos dun kn magsulat. Simplehan lang natin bes para hindi halata. Dun ko sinulat yun kinabisado kong template. Minsan kasi kahit kabisado ko na nabubulol at nakakalimutan ko pa din yun, so sinulat ko na lang para binabasa ko na lang haha =)

    @Levannie tanong lang po regarding sa pag gamit ng template sa describe image, retell lecture and sa essay writing. Ok lng ba na pa ulit ulit ang template na gagamitin? for example sa conclusion ng describe image "Overall, this graph seems accurate and concise and can be used as a reference for future studies", pede kaya to gamitin sa lahat nang image? will this affect in my overall score?

    @emil1125 yun ginagamit ko yun method ng e2language. Tapos yun conclusion kung ano ano na lng. minsan kasi sa dami mong pwde sabihin (minsan sa graph) kaya hindi na umaabot sa conclusion. Ok din yun template na inattached ko kaso nahirapan ako kabisaduhin.

    Sample: graph: population of the philippines, x-axis: year from 2001-2010, y-axis: number in millions
    (This graph represents *title of the graph* - *x-axis*)
    This graph represents the population of the philippines from 2001 to 2010 measured in millions.
    It is noticeable that in year *highest/lowest* records the *highest/lowest*. This was followed by ... Tapos gawa kn ng mga complete sentences base sa figure. Sa conclusion pwde mo ng gamitin yun template kung wala k ng masabi. Minsan nasasabi ko nlng pag kapos sa oras "In conclusion, this graph is quite interesting and useful for future studies."

    Pag puro words yun nasa image gawa ka nlng ng complete sentences about dun. Mostly ganito yun sa mga life cycle, process flow diagram, tables.

    @Heprex andami mo na pala natake na PTE. just wondering, kelan magrereach ng 10 points ung experience mo? Sa totoo lang parang ayoko muna magretake ulit, nakakapagod. Intayin ko muna mag 65/70 ako, baka pag nag 70 points ako for visa 190, baka maconsider sya for nomination sa line natin.

    @yasarella Hello, next year pa ako mag 10pts sa exp. kahit mareach ko yung 65 pts, it will take years to be invited based sa trends, dahil sa taas ng competition at yung occupation ceiling natin is pababa ng pababa. daming changes na naka-pila sa visa system, lalo na yung 2 years provisional visa bago maging PR. Eh kame ni misis, gusto na namin mag start ng family. kung mag-sstart kame, best is nasa Australia na. kaya dire-diretso laban namin. :)

    Hi guys, just took my PTE this week. Got an overall score of 90! The tips in this forum were very useful (yes, templates are effective even if you reuse them throughout the exam). I also found the youtube tutorials from E2 language (instructor's name is Jay) very helpful. Just make sure you are well rested the night before the exam. I took my exam at 8am so my mind is still up and alert.

    L - 89/R - 90/S - 90/W - 90 (Enabling skills all 90 except written discourse - 83)

    Congrats po sa mga nka kuha ng desired result sa exam! Sa mga hindi pinalad katulad ko , lets fight another day !

    Sharing my experience on my first take.

    My score sa PTE practice gold kit exam --- LRSW : 77/74/69/75
    So meju confident ako nag exam

    Actual PTE exam - LRSW --- 60/90/90/58

    Not sure saan ako sumablay sa writing , pero sa listening, i missed 3 questions sa dulo kasi naubusan ako oras.

    My advice, keep your focus througout the exam..
    I think din meju nag pabaya ako sa review kc sa speaking lng ako nag focus ..


    anyway, hindi pa nmn katapusan ng mundo. I'm still hopeful i could get superior results nextime. Buti nlng supportive si misis .

    @ivandemarco Hello, tingin ko hindi ka po sumablay sa writing. Yung last part ng Listening is, write from dictation, both Listening and Writing scores ay affected. Sayang, kung nakuha mo yung last 3 items, possible superior ka, 1 point per word ata sila, tapos almost 8-10 words ata sila. Kuha mo na yan sa susunod. :)

    @lizzzie based on sa mga tips before dito, they did not use any templates for that. according to them, they just read the description what was shown on the image or just purely described it. i guess practice lang talaga. ako din hirap sa part na yan.

    kindly check these recent tips from people with superior markings:

    @Lizzie useful yun templates ng e2 language in youtube.

    "this image/pie chart/line or bar graph represents..." 5 seconds

    Then try looking for the outliers (highest/largest or lowest/smallest) to describe. pag process naman just mention how many steps meron. Use can use the template "xx accounts for..., then followed by yy and zz with the amount of 11 and 22 respectively." 25 seconds

    Then sa last, "overall/in summary, it can be seen/assumed..." 5 seconds

    In my experience, may images na d ko maintindihan but I kept on speaking. No uhms and ahhs. very important fluency mo. pag may nasabi ka mali or wrong grammar, just continue.

    Never finish before 35 seconds but definitely finish on time. Malaki at a bawas if bitin sentence mo.

    Last but not the least, practice, practice, practice :)

    Hi guys! My hubby and I got (L/R/S/W) 72/63/71/67 and 77/77/61/86 when we took the Scored Test A of the gold kit. Any suggestions to improve our score? I was particularly low sa written discourse, pronunciation and oral fluency. Vocabulary, grammar and spelling I was 90. I already scheduled our exams on September 9 & 16. Thanks

    @madamA scores are good, sa opinyon ko lang, mas mahirap ang mock test, and normally mababa talaga speaking sa mock test, kase walang magandang mic. Just keep practicing kung san kayo nahihirapan.
