@ClmOptimist, aw, sayang. Kuhado mo na yan next time. Any tips po kung paano mo napataas Listening scores mo from 60's to 79+? Thanks po.

ClmOptimist · August 2018

@Supersaiyan nakakapanghinayang talaga. nahirapan kasi ako sa fill in the blanks

Regarding sa listening, 80% of my effort during my review tutok talaga sa repeat sentence tska write from dictation. Malaking tulong ung nag-share dito nung reviewer na to:

lumabas lahat ng 4 write from dictation items ko, although, sumablay ako sa isang item, naka-superior pa.

Kaya natin 'to bro. Susuka talaga pero 'di susuko!

Supersaiyan · August 2018

@ClmOptimist thanks bro, yup yaka nten yan. Sken sa tingin ko oks ako sa RS at WFD, sa Listening MCMA ako ndadale sa tingin ko at sa SMW at HCS. Laging 2 answer options ba pinipili mo sa MCMA o isang answer option lang?

Sa fill in the blanks sa Reading, may items sa PTEStudy na pdf akong nkita dati na lumitaw sa exam ko.

Also got my results tonight. Di ko alam saang part ako magfofocus. L/R/S/W 83/77/90/81.

Hello, first time ko magleave ng comment here but i have been reading all your comments and helpful tips for the past weeks. Kaya i feel i owe you guys ng isang malaking thank you. I got my scores today LRWS 88/89/88/90 for my first take.

magaganda mga materials na nashare dito sa forum. Yung apps na PTE (good for reading) and APEUni (for speaking). Youtube videos din (dun kayo makinig sa magagaling mag english like jay). Masyado ako nagfocus sa Speaking kasi sabi nila un daw yung mahirap. I think the idea there is to keep speaking lang whatever ung pde mo masabi and should be fast and clear.

Lastly, sinunod ko yung advice ng ibang members about sa Mock exams.. i took the mock tests 2 and 3 days before the real exam haha kaya nagcram ako nung nalaman ko i na i suck pla sa reading and writing. i failed my first mock test sa reading and writing. Nagpractice ako sa re-order paragraph and writing essay (e2language) overnight then passed my 2nd mock exam the next day. Without the mock exams siguro i wouldnt know kung saan ako nagllack.

Again, thank you to everyone na nagshare dito. God Bless! To God be all the glory!

Nice. Congrats @kingsolomond

@kingsolomond impressive score!

amifat · August 2018

Hello! Just want to express my gratitude sa mga helpful na peeps dito

I finally got my needed scores on my 2nd take.

L87/ R80/ S90/ W86
G80/ OF88/ P89/ S90/ V88/ WD90

Thanks sa tips, motivation at walang sawang pagreply sa akin ni @Supersaiyan, @adamwarlock, @Kcm, @ray1188, @chococrinkle, @chyrstheen at @JapsRN.

Effective talaga ung template sa speaking ni @Heprex and @batman. Consistent na 90 speaking ko sa mock and actual exams, saka nakakabawas ng stress ung script dahil hindi mo kelangan masyado mag isip. Nakakapag-rest nga yung mind ko everytime na sinasabi ko ung conclusion part hehe..

Super laki din ng naitulong ng techniques ni @michaelguanzon_ust sa pagmanage ng listening tasks. In my first take, around 1 minute lang yung natirang oras ko for WFD. But when I followed his strategies sa 2nd exam, about 12 minutes yung natirang time for me to answer WFD.

Marami din akong tinanungan dito regarding sa essay topic na na-encounter nila (weakness ko talaga ang essay kaya need kong magprepare ng ideas hehe). Salamat!

Sa mga magte-take ng PTE, just continue fighting. Good luck!

I want to share a quotable quote na nagmotivate sa akin and I hope this will also inspire you.
"The size of your problem is nothing compared with your ability to solve them. Don't overestimate your problems and underestimate yourself".

Sa mga walang sawang tumutulong dito at sa mga kukuha ng PTE exam, God bless all of you!

ClmOptimist · August 2018

Galing, congrats @amifat

amifat · August 2018

@ClmOptimist Thank you po. Malapit nyo na pong makuha ang superior mark. Kapit lang.

chococrinkle · August 2018

@amifat wow! Congrats! Next step na. God bless you. :-)

amifat · August 2018

@chococrinkle salamat ng marami, finally maka move on na ako sa next steps. God bless din!

ClmOptimist · August 2018

Sa tingin niyo po, should I retake agad? Within a week or two or a month from now?

ENGINEER_SALESMAN · August 2018

Hello all, sharing my PTE experience. Still overwhelmed since I got my results yesterday.

Bali 1st time ko po mag-PTE galing na ako sa IELTS and I learned from Respall na mas madali maipasa ang PTE. Before sa ielts S/R/L/W ko is 7.5/8.5/8.5/6.5. Ngayon po sa PTE 90/90/90/90. I got superior english and thankfully 75pts na po for Visa 189.

Ito po mga na-cover kong materials and random tips:
1. All offline study materials from Respall karamihan galing din sa E2 at Pearson mismo. Maraming practice-an at tips.
2 Gold kit ng PTE. Marami din practice materials at mock test. 72 lang ako sa Test A, 79 sa Test B and I purchased Test C just to be sure pero di ko rin natapos. Sobrang importante po ng scored practice test kasi simulation na yun ng actual exam. Mas nahirapan po ako sa mock test kesa sa actual like yung repeat sentences mas maiiksi lang sya. Saka yung speaker parang mas mababagal.
3. I downloaded yung PTE app sa iphone and paid subscription mura lang naman para kahit nasaan ka nakakapag-review ka pa din. Mas mahihirap din yun accent dito at mahahaba ang mga sentences and ang dami dami talaga pratice-an.
4. Pray hard and manage expectations kasi sa actual test alam kong may mga items akong namali pero pakiramdam ko nadaan sya sa clarity ng boses, iwas stutter, feeling tama ka dapat sa binibigkas mo walang pagdududa saka concentrate po sa screen at headset dahil ang ingay talaga nung mga katabi. Yung vocab po at sentence construction talagang dapat winoworkout natin sya makinig po tayo ng podcasts na mga inglesero or manood po tayo ng english na movies or series. Mag-basa-basa din po tayo ng english na writings. Yung mga template sa writing outline lang po muna before mag-start para may flow na yung ita-type na essay. Sa reading naman read quickly the question na agad so you know what to look for. And then skim the paragraph wag po super slow reading. Marami po possible correct answers sa select the word pero if marami ka naririnig na nagsasalita na english (podcasts, tv shows etc.) magkakaroon ka ng intuition ano yung mas tamang word na piliin.

Yun lang po at God bless sa lahat ng magte-take pa lang. Possible po ang 90 score kahit may uncertain answers basta po confident at time-bound yung pagsasagot. Blessings to all po!

ClmOptimist · August 2018

psmmc · August 2018

Good day everyone.can I ask any tips to improve my reading score. Thank u in advance

leadme · August 2018

Hi, question do the enabling scores matter in migration points? What if you get 79 and above in all communicative skills but scored lower than 79 in the enabling skills? Thanks in advance.

Supersaiyan · August 2018

@leadme only 79+ in all communicative skills matters.

it is simple, understand what you read by improving your english vocabulary.

patotoy · August 2018

@ced
try mo dun sa Pearson dyan sa SG, hindi na daw maganda yung headset sa RELC (binago nila this year), dinig na dinig mo yung mga boses ng nakapaligid sayo.

leadme · August 2018

Thank you @Supersaiyan ! God bless!

leadme · August 2018

I just can't contain my emotions. It was really a miracle. I'll post later night to share happy thoughts and gratitude. Got my scores this morning. L90| R79 | S90 | W82. My Grammar and Spelling are 68 and 64 respectively but thanks @Supersaiyan for affirming that they don't matter. Praise the Lord!
