Hi All,

May Discount Code pa po ba ng PTE?

beetle00 · February 2018

Hello guys! For those who got superior scores in speaking, tanong ko lang po kung gaano katagal yung describe niyo po?

In my case po kasi, after using the fillers

1. The image projected on the screen..
2. Mention min and max values
3. Overall, the graph is accurate..

20 - 25 secs po ang nacoconsume ko, masyado po bang maiksi?

Thanks in advance!

@beetle00 it seems too short. when i practice and during the actual, i always make it aroun 34-38 secs. na fifiller ako ng ilang words kapag nasa mga 25 secs pa lang ako. although 79 lang ako sa speaking, pasang awa sa superior hehehe.

@beetle00 yung sa akin po sa last 2 takes ko lasnt jan 2018, mga nasa 30 seconds po. "The graph projected on the screen is an illustration of variables about the study entitled ___. The highest point is ___ and the lowest point is___. Overall, this graph is particularly useful as a specific reference for future studies of the same learning objectives" consistent naman po na 90 sa speaking, OF and Pronunciation.

Hi everyone,

Just sharing you my first PTE exam experience...

I took the PTE exam last Friday and received my scores this morning. Before taking the exam, I already had a feeling that I will never pass the speaking section, but I was still optimistic, nonetheless. But sadly, all the hopes were shattered when I saw my scores in the speaking section. Not only were they low, they were dismal.

Communicative Skills scores:
L:72 R: 61 S:33 W:81

Enabling Skills scores:
Grammar 90; Oral Fluency 10; Pronunciation: 31; Spelling:90; Vocabulary:90; Written Discourse:90...

I knew I did well in other sections of the test. And I believe if not for my dismal Oral Fluency and Pronunciation scores, I would have gotten the proficient scores or even superior scores overall. The two sections obviously affected the speaking marks, and also somehow pulled down my reading and listening scores, with it, as some parts are related to speaking (read aloud, repeat sentence, re-tell lecture, etc).

And I could only attribute these low speaking scores sadly to the fact that I have a speech deficiency. I have a congenital deficiency called hypernasality, a disorder that causes abnormal resonance in the voice due to increased airflow, which causes the production of nasal sounds ("ngo-ngo" in Tagalog). I have this condition since my cleft palate has not yet been fully fixed.

Although I am able to converse in English well enough for other people to understand my speech, this obviously is not the case in the PTE exam, as proven in my case, the computer cannot understand my quite nasal speech. And to add insult to injury, I am already living and working here in Australia (under 457 visa) for the last 3 years, and to my belief, I am able to effectively communicate and express myself despite my slight speech problem.

I already emailed PTE to explain my situation and asked them for some advice or even reconsideration. I told them that while I could just re-take the exam, I expressed genuine concern that the computer will never grasp my speech and that I will just keep getting low scores, despite the number of tries.

I asked if there had been a similar case to mine, and if so, how did they handle it. I am hoping to receive a response within the coming week.

This whole experience is quite frustrating and depressing on my end, but I am keeping my hopes high as I know this is just one minor hurdle to achieve my Aussie dream.

Cheers!

@penpendesarapin kong ako. nineteen O four to O nine.

I'm not sure kong tama. hehe

Ellabelle · February 2018

May nagbebenta pa po ng mock exam?

Supersaiyan · February 2018

@viperazor, sorry to hear about your problem, isa lang ang sa tingin kong possible solution:
Try nyo po sa speak and transcribed apps (dictation.io, etc....) pc or mobile kung nkaka at least 80% pong correctly transcribed words kayo then afterwards, grab a mock exam sa ptepractice.com, kaya po iyon ang suggestion ko ay dahil halos same machine ang nagiiscore sa PTE actual and PTE mock and mas affordable na hamak si mock for trial and error kesa sa actual exam. To encourage you and not to brag, ako din po sinabihan ng isang speech teacher na short tongue, meaning na may mga pronunciation po akong di ko mabigkas ng tama pero unexpectedly, nka 82 po ako sa speaking score sa actual. Sa score nyo po sa nkita kong mas mataas yung pronunciation nyo kesa sa oral fluency, meaning naiintindihan po ng kaunti ni computer sinasabi nyo kaya don't lose hope. Another tip and the most important: find the right place for the mic na hndi nagpoproduce ng sobrang hangin and speak in a moderate high pitch and kung kayang i whole tone ang voice (parang sa choir) mas oks po. Yaka nyo po yan just trust HIM.

Supersaiyan · February 2018

@Krisian, wow! kung ikaw makakasabay ko sa exam baka manliit ako, full of energy and excellent OF and Pronunciation, kami pa nga ata dapat magpaturo sayo. I don't know kung ano pa po kulang sa inyo, ano po ba ang score nyo sa PTE di ko po mkita sa signature nyo po?

Heprex · February 2018

@Krisian agree with @Supersaiyan , one note to take is yung pag hinga mo between sentences.

penpendesarapin · February 2018

@batman thank you. Na recognized ni siri.

penpendesarapin · February 2018

Tanong namn po ako ulit. Sa SWT, SPT at sa essay ilan po ang word para makakuha ng good score? I mean yung average number of words. TIA

bessya · February 2018

Magandang umaga po. Ask ko lang po, nagmocktest po kasi ako ngayon at nawawala yung connection kaya save and exit ko muna, hindi ko pa po natatapos yung speaking section, at may 2 po akong describe image na hindi nagfunction si microphone, pwede ko po bang balikan yung 2? Haaay

(( salamat po sa sasagot
