  @naidetous:
  Depende po sa way ng pagsasalita nten. Minsan yung iba may hangin lumalabas sa bibig ng diretso. Yung iba, meron hangin npproduce sa baba ng lips, yung iba nman sa taas. Ang technique po ay dapat di ma capture ng mic yung hangin na yun ksi affected po yung pronunciation scores nten kpg ganon at may tendency na undetectable words sya sa computer.

  @katniss2015 nabitin ako sa time sis yung sa 74 kasi msydo ako ng.focus sa jumbled paragraphs. sa mga next exams binilisan ko lahat lol. pero if you must focus on some parts, dun tlga sa fill in the blanks.
  
  sa fill in the blanks na paragraphs, ang style ko is binabasa ko muna ang whole para and skip lng mga blanks without thinking kng anong possible answer. the goal is -get the feel of the paragraph, telling a story ba, fact, opinion or whatever. Get the general tone. Then saka mo na basahin ulit and this time i.predict mo muna ano kaya ang sagot bago mo i.click ang blank space to see the choices. kng ano pinakamalapit sa unang sagot mo, yun na yun.
  
  wag mo na ulit basahin kc siguradong mg.change na nman sagot mo and usually mali na yun =D bka others would disagree pro yun lng sa akin =D

  @katniss2015 hi sis, di ko mhanap yung sinagot ko syo khapon kya ulit na lng bitin sa oras yung 74 ko sa reading. sa mga next exams ang strategy ko e binilisan kong sumagot. kelangan tlga mabilis, speed reading kmbaga. ang pinakastyle ko tlga sa fill in the blanks e binabasa ko ng buo ang paragraph. Get the feel or tone muna, galit ba ang tone, o stating facts, opinion, etc. then saka na balikan isa isa ang blanks. read the whole sentence and try to think of the most appropriate word before mo i.click ang choices. That way when you see the choices yung pinakamalapit na lng sa naisip nyo ang piliin. Then don't overthink. Move on na agad kasi mhaba ang reading kulang ang time pg dinibdib tlga hahha

  Hello po. Newbie here. ask ko lang po how much average time yung preparation nyo? Na-underestimate ko kasi si PTE. I thought kaya ko xa ng 1month prep.
  Thanks sa sasagot.

  Hi po. I'm newbie in PTE at isa din po ako sa nangangarap makalipat sa Australia. Hope you can help me with my question. I took PTE Academic exam last week ( after 2 IELTS attempt to Score 7). My PTE score is L79 R81 S64 W85. Medyo kinapos ng 1 point sa Speaking. If i will retake the exam again, pwede po bang Speaking lang? Or can PTE consider whichever is highest from the 2 exams? Appreciate your help and maraming salamat po in advance.

  @penpendesarapin. Hi! 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. Hope that helps. :-)

  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.
