vanjongsky · June 2018

hello po. una po sa lahat isa po ako sa maraming nangangarap na makakuha ng mataas na score sa PTE-A. hehe. nakapagtry npo ako ng IELTS once pero unfortunately d ko nakuha ung score na gusto ko. Meron na po ba dito na nakagawa ng violation during exam? gaya ng nagsulat agad sa notebook na provided nila. Anu po consequences?

abbyzc · June 2018

Hello po. I took my first PTE yesterday and got my results today.

overall 79, with 78/71/77/86 in L/R/S/W.
ES: 89/75/56/90/90/81 in G/O/P/S/V/W

have to retake kasi i need 79+ sana for bigger chance sa 189.

ginamit ko ung mga advice and templates nyo for describe image and retell lecture pero may times na kinakapos na ko sa oras pag conclusion na.

i think sabit din ako sa read aloud at repeat sentence. may napanood ako sa youtube na kahit mababa ung pronounciation, mataas pa rin ung speaking nya. sa OF po ba ko magfocus?

any tips po how to improve? medyo masakit din kasi sa bulsa pag magretake.

salamat po sa mga tips at sa walang sawang suporta sa tulad naming hindi maachieve ang desired score. thank you po talaga.

@kathmae20

don't panic

Listening
- repeat sentence, carefully picture out the words, so you can easily remember them, if the sentence is too loooooooooooooong mumur if possible, copy the speaker's tone as well

Writing
- write essay, use the template mentioned in this forum, NEVER copy statement and put it in the essay word per word

, rephrase!

Speaking
- use the template

Good luck!

red_lion · June 2018

@abbyzc

yup masakit talaga yung mga retake

naka 3 ako na retake

describe image and retell lecture
- focus ka lang sa main points or content ng image like for images (3 times lumabas yung images) color, size, similarities, differences, then for graphs, highest/lowest, x axis/ y axis, highest/lowest figure

Lastly, practice!

Good luck po!

abbyzc · June 2018

@red_lion malaki po ba effect ng pronounciation sa speaking/reading?

sa read aloud po ba kelangan mabilis? feeling ko kasi ok ung read aloud ko.

normal pace lang ako nung exam pero ang baba na ng pronounciation ko. what more pag binilisan ko pa.

michaelguanzon_ust · June 2018

Good day guys.
Nag take ako ng PTE-A kahapon sa Trident, bali 2nd take ko na ito, last year yung 1st take..

1st take: S: 74 / W: 74 / R: 70 / L: 73
2nd take: S: 90 / W: 77 / R: 81 / L: 86

sobrang nakakadown na 2 points nalang ang kulang. yung feeling na nag lalaan ka naman talaga ng time at efforts para mag aral kasabay pa ng trabaho mo. nag JRooz pa ako this time kaso kinulang padin :') plan ko ulit mag re-take next week. pahingi nman ako ng tips nyo sa Writing. last year, ang ginamit ko ay yung structure ni Jay (E2PTE) sa essay, this year naman yung template ni Steven Fernandez (yung about television) tapos hinaluan ko ng konteng natutunan ko sa Jrooz. meron na ba dito nakagamit ng template na to and nakakuha ng 79+ sa Writing?

Worth it ba mag pa re-score? may nakapag try na po ba?

Thanks in advace guys! God bless everyone

michaelguanzon_ust · June 2018

@abbyzc, ano po ginamit mong structure / template sa writing? taas ng scores mo 86. pwede po pashare ng tips. thanks po

red_lion · June 2018

@abbyzc yup! clear dapat yung pronunciation

not necessarily mabilis, basta within 40 seconds and pause pag may , and .
then pag tapos ka na sa isang item sa read aloud, press next agad

pwede ka mag practice ng read aloud sa ptestudy.com

very useful din yan for describe image

abbyzc · June 2018

@michaelguanzon_ust kay steven fernandez na template din po ang gamit ko.

tapos gumamit ako ng moreover,on the one hand,on the other hand,on the contrary,moreover,additionally, etc.

abbyzc · June 2018

@red_lion i saw this po in youtube. halos pareho lang naman kami ng ES especially sa OF and pronounciation. lamang pa nga ako sa spelling e.pero nakakuha pa din sya ng 79+.

vanjongsky · June 2018

Hi all, Meron na po ba dito na nakagawa ng violation during exam? gaya ng nagsulat agad sa notebook na provided nila. Anu po consequences? Bawas pts o hindi na mgeexam. Tia po

Heprex · June 2018

@vanjongsky kita ka nila pag nag sulat agad, so sasawayin ka. pero pag nag insist ka na mag sulat padin, tingin ko di ka na pag eexamin.

vanjongsky · June 2018

Thanks po @Heprex. Actually po first time ko ngexam, kabado po ako sobra. Tumayo po kc ako nung optional 10min break, nawala sa isip ko na dpt pla tawagin un inviglator. Sabi po nya mgllodge daw po sya ng violation report. Kala ko di na nya ipapatuloy pageexam ko. Pinatapos pa din po nya ko mgexam. Anu po kaya magiging epekto nun sa result ng exam ko? La pa po kc result. O isipin ko na na disqualified nko sa exam na un. Need ko na po ba mgbook ng panibagong exam

Heprex · June 2018

@vanjongsky nako, not sure ako dyan. not sure kung anong effect nun sa exam. wala ka na search sa google na mga experiences?

vanjongsky · June 2018

@Heprex unfortunately po wala e. Ngtake na din ako ng Ielts once at my kasabay ako na di na pinatuloy magexam. Dko lng sure anu offence nya. Nagtaka lng ako sa case ko kc pinatuloy nya pa din ako mgexam. Hayyss

adamwarlock · June 2018

@abbyzc if nauubusan ka ng oras sa conclusion, I suggest practice more sa speaking while monitoring yung timer, nagstruggle din kasi ako dito before. Start ka na dapat ng conclusion at 30s, if macutoff ka kasi while still speaking, malaki effect nya sa tingin ko.

Here are the methods na ginamit ko from E2L:
Sa descibe image, Introduction - about 3 main points - Conclusion, should be enough.
Sa retell lecture nilimit ko lang sa 5 points:
1. The speaker was discussing (topic)
2. Firstly, He/She talked about (key idea 1)
3. He/She mentioned (key idea 2)
4. He/She highlighted (key idea 3)
5. Finally, He/She suggested that (conclusion)
first and last points yung pinaka importante, points 2-3, pwede mo ireplace ng other verbs

During mock test and actual exam, may times na I stopped at 35-36 seconds na, but I made sure na ok yung OF, still got 90 both times so i guess effective naman

red_lion · June 2018

@abbyzc sometimes hindi nagmmatter yung Enabling Skills, some people get low scores sa spelling but still get superior

practice lang po

adamwarlock · June 2018

@michaelguanzon_ust not sure about sa other templates na namention mo pero I used the E2L method (not affiliated with them in any way

) and got 90. I think importante is yung flow ng sentences/paragraphs so maybe combining different methods/templates may not be the best idea if nagsusuffer yung flow ng ideas from one section to the next. Also, possibly yung other tests ang nakakaaffect sa writing score mo like yung write from dictation and fill in the blanks, although nasa listening and reading section kasi sila, from what I've read here and in other forums, malaki rin ang effect nya sa writing score.

NanaJulien · June 2018

Hello po, if aiming for a visa 189 need po ba ang 79+. Nag aaral pa lng po and planning to take the exam by july. mabilis lng po ba mgpaschedule ng PTE? Thank you.

red_lion · June 2018

@NanaJulien

Hi po! not necessarily po

depende kung how many points pa po need niyo para sa 189 visa

but keep in mind, the higher the better!

chyrstheen · June 2018

@NanaJulien madali lang po magpaschedule online. Pero minsan mabilis maubos ang slot dahil very limited. Better book it na para rin may added push to review and practice

michaelguanzon_ust · June 2018

@adamwarlock thanks for the advice!

medyo mahirap din malaman kung saan ba ako may pagkukulang kasi nung nag exam ako, i felt na parang ang ganda ganda naman ng essay ko kaso kinulang pdin ako ng 2pts. ito pala enabling skills ko:

Grammar 70
Oral Fluency 78
Pronunciation 87
Spelling 75
Vocabulary 90
Written Discourse 90

feeling ko mali mali mga subject verb agreement ko kaya mababa Grammar, may effect kaya ito sa Writing scores mismo?

how about sa summarize written text? any advice / tips po guys? ang gamit ko lang dito is yung method ni Jay na "who did what, which did what..." something like that. takot ako gumamit ng colons and semicolons kasi baka mas lalu mawrong grammar.

JapsRN · June 2018

Just want to share my journey sa english test.

2016 took IELTS and scored 8/7.5/7/6.5 LRSW
2017 took again same pa din sa writing 6.5
Same year took PTE 64/65/64/61
Sablay pa din
Last May 30 took PTE again dito na sa Australia and finally got 83/79/87/82

Never give up talaga hehe. Helpful lahat ng tips dito sa forum. I used templates sa speaking and writing. Medyo minodified ko yung iba sa speaking and included words na hindi ako mabubulol. Medyo hirap sa S at F hehe.
Tapos sa writing focus din sa write dictation kasi feeling ko malaking points din sya sa writing part kahit last part sya ng listening. Nung first time ko kasi kinapos ako ng oras sa write dictation

Practice lang talaga maachieve din natin ang lahat. Tapos samahan ng madaming prayers. Hehe

JapsRN · June 2018

@michaelguanzon_ust I think nagmamatter din ang grammar and spelling sa writing. Na aapektuhan kasi nun yung sentence structure mo.

jerkyjerk · June 2018

Hi guys, newbie here..
Schedule ko to take the PTE exam on July 13 dito sa Tokyo.

Need ko muna iprepare yung mind ko sa format and setup ng exam.

Do you have links ng mga shinare na mga templates and tips dito?

Hendro · June 2018

Hello all,

Mageexam na kasi ako sa thursday! Sana makuha ko ang desired scores ko.

Thank you!
