hi guys, already got my score yesterday, sadly i got only 35 in speaking. Baka lang po may maka-help sakin, last monday kasi i was confident kasi nga i memorized the templates and practiced a lot particularly yung mga past tense na verbs. I was thinking then na somehow i can get a high score in speaking, kasi compared to my first exam i didnt mess up. I dont know if my issue yung mic positioning since same lang yung position ung ginawa ko, nasa nose level yung mic ko, and malakas din voice ko. hays.. sana may makatulong sakin, speaking lang po yung issue ko and i am really frustrated now
2nd take: Speaking: 35 OF: 42 Pron: 22
1st take: Speaking:54 OF: 64 Pron: 44

@Krisian pede makahingi ng sample recording mo. Kung ganyan ang OF mo, baka mabagal ka magsalita. Sa read aloud ba, nauubos mo ang progress bar?

guys can i use the same format in re-tell lecture to summarize spoken text? Although limited ang text sa summarize spoken text, i was just wondering if anyone tried to use it. esp kung hindi nasundan un main point ng lecture and all i have are just keywords.
The speaker provided a brief information about.... he mentioned that...

@nicstee, yup, actually you can use the same template for retell lecture and summarize spoken text. It's 2 birds in one stone, pero like you what you've said, mejo limited yung word count. You can just tweak the template to save word count. Just my two cents. :-c
And Jesus said unto them, Because of your unbelief: for verily I say unto you, If ye have faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye shall say unto this mountain, Remove hence to yonder place; and it shall remove; and nothing shall be impossible unto you.

@Levannie I've read somewhere na to be safe daw, try to answer at least 2 sa multiple choice multiple answers unless sure ka sa 3 answers. Sa lahat ng previous takes ko sa PTE, laging may 3 answers ako kahit hindi ako sure sa sagot which is not advisable kasi nga may negative marking. Pero sa next take ko, I will surely follow this advice and let's see kung may improvement sa reading score.

Hi guys, I badly need tips from 79+ scorer sa speaking. In my 2 takes, consistent ang speaking ko at 65-66. Oral fluency is 76 at pronunciation ay 52. First take, mabagal salita ko, mic position is between my upper lip and nose. I tried to speak faster sa 2nd take, at positioned the mic in front of my mouth, mga 3 inches away. I used templates din, binabasa ko na lang nung 2nd take para ok ang OF. Help po! Any advise on how to improve Pronunciation? TIA!

Although I failed to achieve superior marks, but I am so relieved that my Speaking preparations and strategies work to perfection where I got S90, OF90, and P90. My first speaking mark before was S52. I focused on Speaking and Writing, next round intensive practice in Reading and Listening.
In SWT, Write from dictation, and Highlight incorrect words hindi ko natapos which tremendously affected my scores in Writing, Reading, Listening. Of course, I guessed for answers for Reading and Listening which I may choose wrong answers too.

share ko lang po yun PTE A exam ko taken last Friday. Medyo yun review ko putol putol kasi mejo busy hehe, then bigla nag open NSW ng visa 190 para nominated skill ko so nag pa sked kaagad ako last Tuesday and luckily meron pa nakuhang slot ng Friday. Eto po yun results ko:
Thank God naka superior on first take hehehe. Thanks din po sa mga nag share dito ng mga tips, malakin tulong talaga para ma prepare.
Ang masusuggest ko lang po, own nyo yun test, pagpunta pa lang dapat kumpyansa na kayo na papasa, erase all doubts. and sa mismong exam, if you miss something just move on, no point na isipin nyo kung may mistake man kayo sa previous question. Goodluck po sa mga susunod na takers. Will be submitting na may EOI asap.

Romans 12:12 Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.
James 5:7-8 Be patient, therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient about it, until it receives the early and the late rains. You also, be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.
Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.
@ceasarkho@kaidenMVH what did you do sa speaking mo to improve your scores? Did you use exactly the templates for describe image? Sa repeat sentence nakuha mo ba lahat?? Thanks
@chandria, I followed lng ang generic template dito at 80%-90% accuracy using "https://dictation.io/" for speech recognition. Baseline ng speech speed is "Read A Loud" 40%-55% completion of the entire passage. Then same speed na for the rest of Speaking task. Mic position is front of my lips with 3inches distance, and speak aloud talaga.

Although I failed to achieve superior marks, but I am so relieved that my Speaking preparations and strategies work to perfection where I got S90, OF90, and P90. My first speaking mark before was S52. I focused on Speaking and Writing, next round intensive practice in Reading and Listening.
In SWT, Write from dictation, and Highlight incorrect words hindi ko natapos which tremendously affected my scores in Writing, Reading, Listening. Of course, I guessed for answers for Reading and Listening which I may choose wrong answers too.
Nagpapasalamat ako ky @Heprex,@hyperdex,@MissM,@cicciotinnie,@MLBS,@Supersaiyan,@bokz42 at sa lahat for sharing tips and experiences.
Another 2 weeks preparation for my Reading and Listening tasks. God bless us all.

Thank God naka superior on first take hehehe. Thanks din po sa mga nag share dito ng mga tips, malakin tulong talaga para ma prepare.
Ang masusuggest ko lang po, own nyo yun test, pagpunta pa lang dapat kumpyansa na kayo na papasa, erase all doubts.
and sa mismong exam, if you miss something just move on, no point na isipin nyo kung may mistake man kayo sa previous question. Goodluck po sa mga susunod na takers. Will be submitting na may EOI asap.

Romans 12:12 Rejoice in hope, be patient in tribulation, be constant in prayer.
James 5:7-8 Be patient, therefore, brothers, until the coming of the Lord. See how the farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth, being patient about it, until it receives the early and the late rains. You also, be patient. Establish your hearts, for the coming of the Lord is at hand.
Proverbs 3:5-6 Trust in the LORD with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.
Onward to the next chapter!
