@dyanisabelle Di ko maalala if I used hyphenated words pero parang wala. Nakakaaffect din kaya ang capitalization sa spelling?

Paano ko ba marecord para mabigay ko sayo?

@Blackmamba thanks po! I think medyo kinakain ko pa nga ang words ko kaya medyo mababa pa din pronunciation.

Hindi ko matandaan yung sa spelling score affected yun, baka may iba po na mas makakasagot, pero ang alam ko po need din tama ang capitalization and punctuation.

May question po pala ako para sa mga nakapag take na ng exam: naalala ko lang po, nung nag test ako ng mic, napansin ko mas mababa yung quality ng recording sa actual exam kaysa nung mock test. Same case din po ba sa inyo? I'm just using my samsung earphones for the mock test. Ang inisip ko lang nun baka mas maganda lang yung pag record ko nung mock test, pero baka mali pala yung positioning ng mic ko sa actual kaya ganun. Medyo fuzzy siya, inexpect ko crystal clear dapat.

Usually nababasa ko din po kasi dito na mas mababa ang speaking sa mock tests dahil hindi maganda ang quality ng mic na ginagamit natin. Pero naging opposite for me, mas mababa speaking ko sa actual kaysa mock.

@zanx Hi po..Results are released within 5 business days. So baka umabot pa ng Sep 21..

lottysatty · September 2017

@Blackmamba Hi po..Napakinggan ko pa ang recording ninyo at medyo mabagal po talaga cya. Try nyo pong bilisan. May mga practice tests sa Youtube gaya ng PTE Gold sa Read Aloud then may mga Model Answers cla..I mirrored my voice at binilisan ko po kagaya ng model answers from the native speakers. Medyo malaking factor talaga ang OF sa Speaking - yong maminimize mo ang mga pauses.

MissAussie · September 2017

@lottysatty sis ang galing mo. Paano ginawa mo para mapataas scores sa actual exam?

Blackmamba · September 2017

@lottysatty Actually 90 po ako both sa speaking for mock test A and B. Sa writing po ang problem ko

pindiola · September 2017

congrats @Heprex!!!

lottysatty · September 2017

@Blackmamba ahh okay..Sorry baka namali lang yata ako ng mention dito. Sa writing, ginamit ko lang ang template ni Steven dito at nag-add ko ng mga vocabularies ko din and try to make some complex sentences.. Hindi ko rin mapinpoint ang reason f in case low ang Spelling than the spelling itself..

lottysatty · September 2017

@MissAussie Thanks sis. Take 2 ko na po ito. Aside na binilisan ko ang boses ko sa RA, RS, DI at RL, hindi po ako kinabahan kasi parang nasa mindset ko na pumunta lang ako doon para ifulfill ang exam dahil nabook ko na at hindi ko na macancel. Hindi na ako napressure. Nagpray nalang ako at sabi ko sa sarili ko baka may milagrong mangyari. Then after the exam, unlike nung first take ko last February na I was really worried, I find the actual test easier compared sa mga practice tests. So laking tulong talaga na naexpose mo ang sarili mo with the different practice tests especially yong mga mahihirap talaga. Lahat ng mga practice tests dito ay natry ko such as Mcmillan, Pearson, Kenny, You Tube PTE Gold, etc..

Congratulations po sa inyo! Pwede din po ba makahingi ng sample recording ninyo? Thank you po.

lottysatty · September 2017

@ara Thanks po. Next to Speaking, Reading po talaga ang weakness ko especially on Reorder and Multiple Choices kaya sa lahat ng modules, cya lang ang hindi nag-90 hehe.

I do just have the same strategies with what others had posted their tips here such as for MC, read the question first before reading the entire passage. Hindi nagwork sa akin ang icheck mo muna mga answer choices then skim it pabalik sa passage kasi hindi ko maintindihan ang whole story so tendency I need to read again but I think yon talaga ang recommended ng iba. On choosing multiple answers, I tried to tick at least 2 choices.

Sa Reorder po, nagpractice lang po ako ng bonggang bonga from Youtube PTE Gold, lofoya.com at e2 language, still hindi ko talaga ito maperfect pero my test was a bit easier compared to the practice tests. Try to find the first sentence which is the topic and independent one then the object of that sentence will be the subject for the next sentence, and so on.

Sa FIT Reading, subject verb agreement cya and identifying the correct parts of the speech if it should be filled in with a noun, adjective, verb or an adverb.

Sa FITB Both, more on collocations. Try to familiarize yourself with the different collocations po na nasa Youtube. Eto po sample:

Lastly, dapat mo talagang imanage ang time dito. Lessons learned ko na rin last time coz hindi ko nafinish to sa nagpractice ako na makaanswer every question in 2 minutes.

God bless and Goodluck po!
