    Hi all,

    Need po ba mgpaassess sa vetassesa if non ict ang bachelors degree? I’ve asked ACS kc and they told me di sila sure and i may need to check wtih DHA.
    Just to give a background po, my profession is an accountant but my work is on software implementation (IT).

    Thank u in advance!

    @ynners usually ACS will advice the equivalence of your degree. I can only assume you applied for RPL? Kasi that's the only time they don't mention about the qualification. If that's the case, you would just need to know under which section of the Country Education Profile to find out how much points to claim for your qualification. That's how PTA VETASSESS is done and charges you for it which isn't necessary.

    Hello po.. ang Vetassess ba nagaassess ng Bachelor's degree in Information technology? Nagpaassess kasi ako sa TRA, successful naman kaso di sila naglagay ng equivalency ng education sa result na nilabas nila...for ICT customer support officer po ung pinaassess ko. Salamat po :)

    @chococrinkle @RheaMARN1171933 hi nagbackread ako sa forum na ito...when you mentioned na Points test advise from Vetassess is not a requirement, applicable din ba ito sa ibang Assessing authorities like TRA? I got a "successful" result with them kasi kaso walang namention sa result about my educational qualifications at kung ilang points ang pde ko maclaim sa degree ko. Salamat po :)

    @littlemsnanay As far as I know, for educational assessment, you dont need a points test advise. You just have to identify your school’s section, and must meet the grade req (2.0) if school is section 2.

    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.

    @Hendro when you complete your EOI, it will ask you to provide details if employment in the last 10 years. Just provide all information and declare the ones you will be claiming points for.

    @littlemsnanay I know how it feels like having once been in you le place many years ako. If you plan to do it yourself, you really need to make sure you read carefully and take in information in this forum according to how it fits in your situation. You need to apply your own judgement in the end as no case is ever the same. With regards to PTA from VETASSESS, this isn’t a requirement.

    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.

    @ricabanana don’t hesitate to follow up especially if beyond 12 weeks na. That’s your right in the end and they need to provide you an explanation. I’ve had a few encounters with VETASSESS where I notice medyo disorganised yung system. They rectify things straight away anyway. Good luck.

    @ricabanana nope. that's our wrong impression. they take it seriously to provide better service kapag napupuna sila. di naman sila balat sibuyas, trabaho lang. they will decide based on the merit of your evidence :-) wag po matakot mag feedback.

    @RheaMARN1171933 good afternoon po Ma'am!

    May ikaklaro lang po ako Ma'am.

    Expired na po kasi yong skills assesament ko. Ang date po nya ay Nov 2013.

    Ang intindi ko po kasi doon sa renewal guidelines po ng Vetassess ay lahat ng may positive skills assessment (post 2010) 2011 to 2015 (kasi 3yrs validity) ay pwedeng magrenew as long as the employment assessed on the orig assessment is still the same within 5 years. Tama po ba ako?

    Many thanks po sa clarification.
