    @Pandabelle0405, based from my experience, mas maingay sa pinas kesa dito sa Singapore.
    Naka-ilang take na din ako dito pero sa Pinas ko lang ako nakapasa. Feeling ko kasi may added confidence pag sa pinas compare dito, kasi alam mo na puro pinoy kayo kesa dito na parang ilang ka pa sa mga kasabayan mo kasi ibang lahi. Feeling ko may advantage pag home court. :))

    @Pandabelle0405. Hello po. Nag pte din po ako sa makati. Yun din concern ko before, what if sabay sabay na kami mag salita baka mawala ako. Big advantage if mauna ka sa pila, kasi yung first 3 applicants na mauuna dumating, mauuna din mag start ng exam. I took mine last nov and I arrived second. May lesser ingay pa kasi 3 palang kayo sa room na sabay so by the time pumasok na yung iba you have familiarized yourself sa environment and di na masyado affected sa ingay ng iba. So much better po if early kayo, I arrived 1.5 hours before schedule # 2 ako. :-)

    PTE Writing Tips

    For writing essay I used E2 language format and applying what I learned from Ielts. Sa intro, sa 1st sentence ni restate ko lang yung question using my own words. Then sa 2nd sentence if one sided lang yung question, I give summary of the reasons ( 2 reasons only). Example, if ang essay is about importance of computers (one sided), eto 2nd sentence ko. Computers are valuable resources as they (1st reason) aid in learning and are (2nd reason) used to communicate with others. Then sa 3rd sentence sasabihin ko para pampahaba-- In this essay, I shall discuss my point of view by giving points and examples about the topic.

    Then sa 2nd paragraph, elaborate ko na ang 1St reason. Mga 2 sentences na magsupport sa 1st reason, like if yung 1st reason ko is aid in learning, expand ko ang topic by answering how computers aid in learning,etc. Usually yung reason mo convert mo by asking how, what, when, or who. Tapos sa 3rd sentence, I state examples. Pwede ka din mag add pa ng 4th sentence parang isummarize mo lang ang 2nd paragraph.

    Sa 3rd paragraph discuss naman ang 3rd reason same sa ginawa sa 2nd par.

    4Th paragraph 1st sentence conclusion, then 2nd sentence recommendation.

    If 2 sided naman yung intro pwede mo gamitin yung nasa template like kina Heprex na samples. Then yung 2nd par yung kabilang side, then yung 3rd paragraph yung other side. Tapos same last paragraph.

    If medyo nahihirapan ka sa mga ideas, research ka dito sa forum ng mga recent topics. Tapos based dun sa topic reasearch ka anong pwedeng maging points and reasons para may idea ka na ano ilalagay mo sa essay.

    Ang key talaga sa writing is dapat marami ka ideas. If nahihirapan ka mag construct ng idea try to research as much as possible. Google mo yung mga common or recent topics on pte writing tapos may mga sample questions dun,, then research mo ano possible answers para sa actual exam may idea kana ano isasagot. Tapos dpat familiarize mo mga connectors (like moreover, therefore, for instance, etc) kasi mas mataas ang grade kapag medyo complex ang sentence na ginagamit mo kesa simple sentences lang.

    For summarize written text strategy ko is to first get ano main topic. Then analyze what important points were given, may nangyari ba? If meron ano ang nangyari, kelan nangyari? ano at para kanino ang purpose? Usually kasi sa mga paragraphs naka detail lang pero yung point lang naman dun is parang dinedescribe lang yung main topic. If you can answer who/what, when, how and why about the topic pwede mo na pagdugtungin yung ideas mo thru connectors and form a sentence. If you will have multiple paragraphs, summarize mo muna per paragraph then summarize mo ulit lahat in one sentence

    Another tip also in writing as much as possible do not repeat the same words. If you dont have much stored knowledge about synonyms okay lang. Practice and Research is the key. Kaya malaki ang help sa akin yung pag research sa mga common or recent topics kasi while practicing pwede akong mghanap ng synonyms then mas madali ko syang ma recall sa actual exam kasi nagawa ko na sya before. Tapos if meron kayong word na ma encounter na parang hirap kayo mag elaborate, google nyo din anong synonym or phrases na pwedeng same meaning ng word. Share ko yung nilista kong mga synonyms na possible na magagamit sa mga essay kasi minsan these are the topics commonly asked.

    @Pandabelle0405 maingay din po dito sa Pinas. Hindi naman po sa pagiging sugapa, I think they're just doing what they can to aim for good scores :) hindi talaga maiwasan kasi tabi tabi kayo sa testing center. nung first take ko medyo panic din ako kasi nakaka intimidate talaga kapag marinig mo yung mga katabi mo. Practice lang ng practice, may mga nagsuggest sa PTE thread na mag mock exam sa mga coffeeshop or public pleaces para masanay na maingay and magulo yung paligid :) god bless sa hubby mo!
