    @chandria sa write from dictation, nakukuha ko naman lahat. pero sa repeat sentence, mostly mga 50% of words lang ako.

    Sa spoken text, basta na gets ko yung topic, kahit konti nasusulat ko na notes. nakakapag construct ako, dahil medyo pamilyar.

    Normal lang mag kamali. buong PTE ko may mali lage ako, tingin ko. bawat module hindi 90 ang max scoring, tingin ko mga 100+ yan. prone to make mistakes kase tlga, pero 90 lang pinapakita.


    @pumpupkiks Salamat!! konti na lang yung iyo, kaya mo na yan.

    @Heprex Thankyousomuch sa mga tips !

    Matthew 7:7
    Ask and you will receive, search and you will find, knock and the door will be opened for you.

    Psalm 23
    The Lord is my Shepherd, I shall not want. He makes me lie down in green pastures, he leads me beside quiet waters, He restores my soul. He guides me in paths of righteousness for His name's sake. Eventhough I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will not fear no evil, for you are with me. Your rod and your staff, they comfort me. You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies. You anoint my head with oil. My cup overflows. Surely goodness and love will follow me all the days of my life, and i will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.

    @Heprex 8AM ako nag exam. nagulat lang ako sobrang strict sa Manila pero dun sa Abu Dhabi at Dubai hindi naman. May improvement lang sa exam ko dahil naka 90 na ako sa speaking, pero talaga nahirapan ako sa reading, sa 5x na nagtake ako highest score ko sa reading ay 74 lang. All the time meron akong na encounter na words sa fill in the blanks na hindi ako familiar, so need ko expand vocabulary ko. Nahihirapan din ako sa multiple choice multiple answers, need ko ng concentration, pero sa re-order paragraph okay lang naman. Sana talaga next month makukuha ko na. Itong PTE lang naman kasi pag asa ko para ma-invite. Sana makagraduate na din ako sa PTE tulad mo.

    @cheezy_pops thanks po, I got 66 kasi sa spelling (no idea how that happened) but still got an overall score of 90 for the 4 communicative skills! Got it on my first try too, thanks a lot to the tips I read on here. I would like to share some general tips as well


    1. Kung tantsa niyo sa sarili niyo na medyo ok naman na base foundation ng English niyo, di niyo na kelangan bili nung mga mock test. Enough na yung makukuha niyong links dito sa thread, yung PTE professional yung gamit ko. I had 2 weeks preparation time and it was enough I think.
    2. Get familiar with all types of test. Take note also of the time limits per each test.
    3. Sa testing area, madami kayo, I think in my case mga 13 in the same room, MARIRINIG MO SILA LAHAT, NAKAKA DISTRACT. Go in the test room knowing that this will happen, para kahit papano mabawasan yung distraction mo. During the reading test, tinakpan ko talaga tenga ko kasi yung iba nasa speaking part pa, so di ka talaga makaka focus habang may naririnig ka pa.

    4. SPEAKING: yung mic niyo, tapat niyo sa may harap ng ilong, wag sa bibig, bababa scores niyo pag nadetect ng computer yung breathing niyo from the mouth. As for the test itself, pinakamahalaga is pronunciation and fluency. Personally, yung sa read aloud, wala pang half nung time bar natatapos ko na siya. Maintain your pace sa read aloud all throughout the speaking part. Use templates, very very useful. Don't sacrifice fluency and pronunciation for content kasi mas malakas points nung 2.
    5. READING: di ko natantsa gano kaikli yung 30minutes, 1 minute remaining may 3 multiple choice pa ko di natatapos. Nakaka time pressure to so be aware of that. Read fast, try to absorb faster.
    6. WRITING: sa essay part, I made 4 paragraphs. 1st is intro, 2 and 3 are bodies, 4 conclusion. I think this is the easiest part. Sprinkle in some deep vocabs para taas din score niyo.
    7. Please use your optional break, take time to inhale and exhale. Dun sa room ko 2 out of 13 lang kami nag break.
    8. LISTENING: take notes. Ang medyo mahirap yung missing word after the beep, tip ko dun is pagmasdan mo kung ilang seconds pa yung recording, pag malapit na matapos, be extra aware kung ano sinasabi niya kasi dun pinaka related yung kelangan mong isagot.

    FYI lang din, I took the test in a Friday afternoon, 24 hrs after nakuha na results.

    Good luck to everyone, kaya niyo yan! Practice lang ng practice! :)

    Try mo mag install ng VoiceNote II sa Google Chrome browser mo. Yan ang gamit ko for Speech to Text.
