As much as possible sabihin mo lahat mam @amifat or kung mahaba yung sentence, Magsubstitute ka ng word na halos kasing salita nung di mo matandaan na word

You may try this strategy
1. yung sa e2 language na grouping of words.
2. Write the first letter of each word ng half ng sentence tapos memorize mo ung other half.
3. write each first letter ng whole sentence.
Dipende kung ano magiging effective sayo.

Effective sakin yung #1 & 2
Goodluck!

@JosephDaryllRN Yung #1 ung ginagamit ko pero parang struggle pa rin hehe. Try ko ung #2 and #3. Thanks!

@amifat sharing lang, nagstruggle din kasi ako sa repeat sentence. Try mo magshadow sa mga youtube videos, ulitin mo lang mga sinasabi nila. It helps para maimprove yung short term memory mo

amifat · May 2018

@chyrstheen Try ko rin mag shadowing. Thank you.

Magandang Araw,

wIll start reviewing for my PTE 2nd Take aiming for Supremeior, I attached my previous score, hingi din sana ako ng feedback/tips since yung forum na ito din naman ang naging main source of tips and info ko.

as far as I can remember nagstrugle ako sa:
a.) Last part ng exam - Write from Dictation (dahil naghahabol sa Oras)
b.) poor essay structure - (TV as companion) - nabasa ko to eh
c.) Describe Image - naging mapangahas + panay mapa pa at drawing figures

Salamat.

@VirGlySyl Hi!

A) For write from dictation it helps if mabilis ka mgtype. I typed directly using the keyboard neglecting muna if meron ako wrong spelling then balikan nalang once done with the entire sentence before clicking next. Importante din na ma manage ng mabuti ang time so you dont run out towards the end.

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.

C) For Describe image if maps ang lumabas and feeling mo wala kang alam pwede naman describe mo nalang nakikita mo. Like kung anong kulay, ano yung mga places na nasa map, etc. Kahit di mo na naanalyse yung map kasi fluency is the key sa speaking to get higher scores. Example, if yung image mo is about a map na naka partition with 3 different colors tapos may mga landmarks, sabihin mo using the template, “The picture depicted on the screen is about a Map of a certain location. There are 3 partitions which are represented by colors Blue, Green and Red. The largest area is the one with the red region while the least is that of the blue region. The picture seems accurate and concise and can be used for future studies.” Ganun lang more than 20 seconda na yun. God bless you. :-)

Hi po, may tanong lang po ako about dun sa ptepractice.com. Pag po ba nagtake ng scored practice (GOLD KIT) test pwede po bang magpause between the test and come back later?

For example, speaking muna yung itetake ko tapos isasave ko muna and exit or kelangan po tuloy tuloy hanggang matapos yung exam?

Maraming salamat po.

Heprex · May 2018

@spencer0731 tuloy tuloy po.

spencer0731 · May 2018

Hi @Heprex salamat po sa sagot.

Raeji · May 2018

Hello po. Ask lang po. I am from Qatar and i'm planning to go home sa pinas to take PTE in preparation para sa processing ng Student visa for Australia. Any tips, review materials and how to register for the exam? Thanks po.

Supersaiyan · May 2018

@spencer073, may option po kayo to save and continue sa ptepractice.com pero mas maganda kung tuloy tuloy para po ma experience nyo po kung ano po ang actual exam.

spencer0731 · May 2018

Hi @Supersaiyan, thank you po. Ayy buti naman may save at continue. Nakapag take na po ako before ng PTE hindi nga lang umabot sa desired score.

Plan ko munang mag mock exam. Sa speaking kasi ako nagkakaproblema. Salamat po

Krisian · May 2018

hi guys, those po na naka-superior sa speaking, usually po how many seconds ung inaabot ng describe image nyo po? around 35 secs po ba or ok lang basta more than 30secs?

JosephDaryllRN · May 2018

@Krisian 30-35 seconds enough na un

bluerocky · May 2018

Hi @nicet1 and @iamtsay meron sa may Silicon oasis hanapin nyo sa google TEPTH | The Exam Preparation & Testing House Dubai UAE, dyan ako nag take last april unfortunately i have failed kaya ngayon review ulit ako.

iamtsay · May 2018

@bluerocky ok po ba ang facility? Ilan po ang pc nila? And yung space po ba for each pc malayo din? Thank you

bluerocky · May 2018

@iamtsay para kang nasa computer rental pero maganda naman, nung time ko mga sampu kami pero hiwalay kami may mga days daw na kaunti lang.

just.anotherguy · May 2018

@Krisian as a guide, dapat yung last sentence mo po (Overall..) ay nagsisimula ka na magsalita pagpatak ng 30seconds. Although sometimes pagpatak ng 31-34seconds pa lang ako magsasalita ng 4th sentence, kapag nauutal yung 1st-3rd sentences ko

cyborg5 · May 2018

ito result ko. walang review2x at kung ano2x pa. napag tripan ko lang mag take. ang masasabi ko lang ang takot at kaba is worst than actual. so kelangan imagine mo nalang nanuod ka ng english movie. buo ang loob. i mean by default marunong tayo mag ingles simulat sapol sa grade 1. yung tono sa speaking kahit di swak basta may pababa at pataas, ayus na. pero dapat buo at malakas boses mo, baka sa katabi mong pana ang marinig sa mic mo, patay ka

kaya kung medyu may kahinaan boses mo, try mo emodulate parang frank sinatra. kung makita nyo mababa spelling ko, nakaka intindi si computer kahit mali ang 's at s' or you're at youre. walang oras mag notes sa 35 seconds ng repeat sentence, so don't. makinig ka lang ng maayus. sa retell lecture write ka lang ng tig 1-word tas ma connect2x mo na yun. at saka dapat mabilis ka mag type. kahit mali2x spelling, erecheck mo nalang sa ma save mo na oras kasi mabilis ka. tas pag tapos kana, click next. huwag mo sayangin bawat segundo kakahintay ma tapos ang timer kung wala ka na namang ma dagdag. kumbaga, e-average mo chances mo. mababa man score mo sa iba, mataas ka sa ibang sagot naman kasi may na save ka na oras. sana makatulong. hindi ako experto ng kung ano2x..share ko lang ginawa ko.

kukuha na sana ako ng ACS assessment kaya lang di ako marunong mag RPL

sana may maka point to the right direction(you know, kahit sample lang)

nicnac · May 2018

@Krisian uy workmate! lol usually 25-30sec

bluerocky · May 2018
