guys bigyan nyo naman ako ng tips sa repeat sentence please
jeffasuncipnManila Philippines Posts: 144Member Joined: May 08, 2017
@mvg sa repeat sentence need mo i-enhance ung listening skill mo at kailngan naintindihan mo ung sentence.. hnd ito memory test as per pearson.. kailngan naintindihan mo at dito kaya kailngan marepeat mo ung sentence na sinabi ni comp. pratice talaga dito sa task na ito.. nood k ng english video at try to shadow and understand magagamit mo din sa ibang task itong practice na ito..
@iamtsay oo dun din ako nag take kaya lang wednesday, ako rin ayaw kong ipaalam kaya ang dahilan ko dumating yung kapatid ko susunduin ko lang. This time baka mag leave na ako kasi naubusan na ako ng dahilan hehehe.
@bluerocky Strict ba sila sa name sa emirates id? Yung na renew kasi sa akin ngayon, walang space yung first and second name ko kaya magkakadugtong sila.
@iamtsay Hindi naman siguro kasi same name lang naman space lang ang kulang pero hindi ba renewal ka lang dapat i print lang yan baka naman sa printing lang nagkaproblema, sabihin mo na lang nagkaproblema sa printing.

Hi guys. Can anyone help me? I am practicing the "Write from dictation" sa listening section. Ilang items siya usually and gaano katagal per item? OR nakadepende sayo yung oras? Any tips for this, kasi I find it a bit frustrating kasi nagegets ko yung naririnig ko, napapakinggan ko naman every word, pero pag nag type na ako ng sentence, madalas may kulang. Please send help T_T lol
I was fortunate enough to get the "Superior" score requirement in PTE in one take. My biggest advice is to read back sa post ni MissM and I religiously followed her guidelines. Ang laking tulong nung PTE Test module software, especially on the Describe Image and retell lecture section; you have to numb yourself with the "Real-life" time pressure and stress in the practice test, most of all practice atleast 1 hour per day, I prepared for 2-months (yeah, seriously..). My overall score is 89 (L-86, R-90, S-90, W-86). Now, off I go with my application to V189. More power to all!!!

@AnneC , naka 3 takes ako before ako maka superior practice lang talaga, exert more time and practice kung saan mababa yung score useful din yung mga youtube vids and samahan mo ng templates patience is a virtue!

@Donnajanice - you usually get 3-4 items from Write From Dictation and it also depends on the remaining time you have left. Try practicing your Write From Dictation from youtube vids it is really a big help!
Remember, LISTEN THEN WRITE
its fine to initially write in wrong spellings, you can fix it afterward then click NEXT
Good luck!
