Hi @chococrinkle, ask ko lang po kung nag bigay ka ng personal experiences mo para sa paragraphs 2 and 3, just like in IELTS. Thanks.

chococrinkle · April 2018

@nicnac @ray1188 youre welcome. Glad I could be of help. God bless you sa preps. :-)

chococrinkle · April 2018

@ginpo Yes pwede din yun. Para pampahaba din ng discussion. :-)

@edybear, need mo siguro mag focus sa write from dictation & highlight correct summary since nag cocontribute yung parehas na yun both Listening and Writing.

Check mo tong attached file, nandito yung complete list ng PTE score guide.

chyrstheen · April 2018

hello po sa lahat! I had my 2nd pte take yesterday. mabilis ang results, meron na agad kanina. thankfully naka-superior din. sobrang thank you sa mga tips ni @heprex and @batman pati na sa reviewers ni @nomier at yung site ni @nicnac

Congrats @chyrstheen

share ko lang po yung exam ko kahapon at ilang tips na rin

Describe Image - follow E2 language method sa introduction ng image pati na rin sa pagidentify ng trend, highest or lowest points sa graphs. then lagi ko ginagamit yung conclusion nila boss @heprex at @batman ("This graph/image is particularly useful...")

Re-tell Lecture - used E2 language structure din. I ensured na meron akong mga sentence connectors na ginamit such as firstly, next, finally the speaker concluded, etc.

Repeat Sentence and Answer Short Question - useful yung practices sa ptestudy.com

SWT - very challenging yung SWT set ko yesterday, 2 items lang sya and merong isa na hindi ko maintindihan kung ano yung main topic. my technique here is to write approximately 30 words lang. usually merong subject who did something which lead to something. ignore lahat ng details, iniisip ko gumagawa ako ng teaser, title or headline para dun sa paragraph.

Essay - swerte ko talaga sa writing dahil 2 yung essay ko. hindi pa argumentative yung topic as most practice materials are. pero I still followed E2 language structure. My essay tips are (1) make sure to answer the question prompt, never write anything off-topic (2) yung last sentences of my paragraphs always lead back to the 1st sentence (ito yung nakakataas ng written discourse) (3) read essay topics ng IELTS and PTE online para mafamiliarize dun sa mga arguments. better kasi if makakapagprovide ng at least 2 arguments/examples sa essay
(essay 1: more people are devoting their time in their jobs and they have no more time for personal life. do you think this problem is widespread? what are the implications of having less time for personal life?)
(essay 2: students have several sources of information such as published books and articles, teachers, internet and discussing with co-students. which do you think is the most reliable source of information?)

Reading Tasks - practice everyday. laging magbasa ng iba't-ibang writing styles at topics

Listening - particular din sa exam kahapon, puro non-native speakers yung nakuha kong speakers sa listening set. mahirap intindihin kasi thick yung accents nila. suggest ko rin na manood kayo ng tedx videos sa youtube para mapractice yung listening skill

For reading & listening, manage your time well. magspend lang ng around 2 mins each task tapos move on na sa next. lalo yung WFD, very important na abutin sya since malaki impact sa listening score

good luck sa lahat and thank you ulit sa lahat ng mga useful tips dito sa forum

MumVeng · April 2018

Hello. Para po sa mga nag-exam recently. Nahihirapan talaga ako sa Repeat Sentence. Ilang words po ba on average ung mga sentences. Pag kasi mahaba hindi ko na kaya.

chyrstheen · April 2018

@MumVeng iba iba po. minsan 8 words lang minsan abot ng 12-13 words. ranging from 3s-6s yung recording. hindi ko po alam kung legit na technique to pero nung nagprapractice kasi ako ng pronunciation, sinasabayan ko yung mga youtube videos ng native speakers. after nun, mas nadalian ako sa pagremember ng mga sentences. try nyo rin po magpractice sa ptestudy.com. during the exam, pag may hindi ka maalala na word or sentence, sabihin mo pa rin lahat ng naaalala mo. tuloy lang ang salita para ok sa oral fluency. good luck po

MumVeng · April 2018

@chyrstheen Thanks, sis. Nahihirapan talaga ako sa PTE. Mas naaral ko kasi ung IELTS at mas madali ung speaking section kumpara sa PTE. So nangagapa talaga ako. I-check ko ung PTEstudy.com. Hoping to take the exam on the 27th.

batman · April 2018

@MumVeng 7 to 10 words.
kaya mo yan practice lang ng practice. sa YouTube dami practice samples

MumVeng · April 2018

@batman Thanks! Sinunod ko ung tips ni @chyrstheen for Repeat Sentence. Effective siya sa akin kasi mas madali ko nare-recall yung first half to about first 70% of the sentence. Mukhang keri ko na. Now naman nag-stuggle uli ako sa Describe Image. Kanina mejo ok na tapos balik na naman ako sa disorganized na answer at daming hesitations. Hayyyz, practice pa lang kabado na ako. Paano pa kaya sa exam? Siguro mag-stick na lang ako sa format na nakuha ko dito sa forum kahit hindi ko ma-cover ung buong graph.

JosephDaryllRN · April 2018

Good Evening. I just want to ask who will be taking PTE-A here on May 2? 11:30 AM.

chyrstheen · April 2018

@MumVeng tuloy mo lang po and more practice. important din sa repeat sentence that you understand the meaning. mas madali sya ulitin if naintindihan. also kung 70% lang naalala mo, that's fine. ulitin mo lang yun and gayahin mo kung paano sinabi ng speaker. when i took the exam, di naman lahat natatandaan ko and yet i got my desired score.

sa Describe Image, I used E2 language structure then in-integrate with the conclusion of Sir @batman

chyrstheen · April 2018

@MumVeng sorry naputol lang message

chyrstheen · April 2018

@MumVeng

Introduction: "The (type of) chart projected on the screen represents the (title of the graph) + (x-axis of the graph)." this is E2 language structure

Image Description: describe a trend or describe the highest, lowest points. usually mga 2-3 points lang ang nadedescribe ko

Conclusion: "This (type of) graph is particularly useful as specific reference for future studies of the same learning objective." galing po ito kay sir @batman

important po to practice everyday kase skill sya. if hindi mo sya gawin, makakalimutan mo yung structure and maghehesitate ka. you'll also get better at identifying the notable points of the graph if you practice everyday.

galf10333 · April 2018

Guys nakabili nako ng pte practice exam for setA and setB and since nagamit ko na balak ko san bumili ulit ng 2 set. Tanong ko lang kung bibili ulit ako pareho ba ulit ung questions sa nauna kong nabili or mag iiba na sya.
