Small tips based on my experience (Took the test twice: Proficient, then Superior):
Speaking: Practice speaking words in English. Don't fuss too much about grammar. During both of my tests, barok na barok yung grammar ko kasi kabado. I both scored 90 sa speaking on both of my tests, parehong kabado at utal utal yung pagsasalita ko non. I just made sure na na eexpress ko pa rin yung main thoughts/ideas ng sentences ko.
Reading: Toughest portion dahil sa negative markings. Follow strategies, and play safe pag may negative markings. This is the only portion in the exams na sinagad ko yata yung time ko, so I suggest you take your time in answering questions here as well.
Writing: Not hard to do, but hard to get a good score on in my opinion, kasi subjective ang scoring. For people like me na madaling maubusan ng ideas sa mga essay, I simply followed E2's tips on structuring your essay---- maguulit at rephrase ka lang ng ideas at di gaanong magiintroduce ng bagong ideas. Medyo cheesy (meaning it will help you in the test, but won't immensely improve your English skills), but they do work. As long they work, wala na ako pake.
Listening: Easiest part based sa exp ko, as long as you're familiar with some very common complex English words, then you are good to go. If not, then there's no way around it. You just have to read and learn more English words.

Intro:
[1] These days, there is a continuing discussion about (main topic)/ (or write and very broad statement about the main topic).
[2] (paraphrase the topic prompt).
[3] In this essay, I will explain the advantages/benefits/edge and the disadvantages/drawbacks/flaws of (main topic).
Body:
Part 1- (Cite advantages)
[1] There are several benefits in … (main topic)
[2] For instance, (main topic) promotes..... (state advantage 1)
[3] (Provide supporting sentence/evidence for advantage 1)
[4] Another advantage provided by (main topic) is (state advantage 2).
[5] (Provide supporting sentence/evidence for advantage 2)
[6] (Conclude Advantages)
Part 2 - (Same as part 1 pero cite disadvantages)
Conclusion:
[1] This essay discussed both the advantages and disadvantages of (main topic),
[2] Overall, I believe the benefits of (main topic) outweigh it's disadvantages. (pick a side)
You can end at [2] but personally, I find it funny and incomplete. So you can add one last sentence:
[3] (Write a follow-up to sentence 2) (e.g. In fact, young students should be educated about contraception as early as middle school.)
**Please note sa exams di mo kailangan magprovide ng totoong scientifice evidence. So sa mga evidence/supporting sentences pwede ka magsulat ng, say, "Condoms have been purchased at convenience stores by 7 out of 10 young adults.".

I observed nahirapan ako sa Repeat Sentence, hindi ko mahabol ang words kasi I tried listing first letters. Did not expect na mahaba ang sentences compared sa mock tests na natry ko sa ptetutorials. Need your advice po sana on passing this part.

Not sure kung mkakatulong etong experience ko sa speaking, last take ko 90 ang speaking ko with 90 din na oral fluency kahit na may namiss ako sa repeat sentence diretso pa din ako. Ang method ko sa repeat sentence ay yung method from E2 Language, tinatandaan ko yung per phrase at meaning. Yung pag sasalita ko hindi mabilis, hindi rin mabagal, hindi rin malakas, hindi mahina. Yung tipical lang na pag sasalita pag may kausap ka.
Ang isang ginawa ko din pala, pag start ng recording mag bilang muna ko 1 sec then salita.
God is good all the time!

Saan po kayo kumukuha ng resources nyo for PTE? Para makapag prepare din po
May alam po ba kayo medyo hindi kamahalan na review center? Para makakuha din ng review materials?
I've heard mahal po yung exam that is why I need to be well prepared.
Thank you in advance

Finally nakagraduate na ko sa PTE. Malaking help sakin 'tong forum since day 1. Eto naman ang tips na maibabahagi ko. (actually halos same din sa sinabi ng iba)
SPEAKING & WRITING
Bago kayo magumpisa test nyo ng maigi mic. Kapag yung recording nyo malinaw at malakas ang boses nyo at walang feedback, it means ok na yun. Hindi nyo need sumigaw sa mic.
1. Read Aloud
- Normal boses na mejo mababa and clear. Napansin ko din dito dapat mejo mabilis. You need to pause pag may period and comma. May timing yan e. And pag mashado mahaba sentence alam nyo din kung kelan mag pause. Please check e2language sa utube
2. Repeat Sentence
- Practice practice ang secret dito. Pumipikit ako sa part na 'to at nakakatulong naman
3. Describe image
- Before magumpisa dito, clear mind and wag magpanic. Hindi mo need isummary or sabihin lahat ng makita mo sa image/chart. Ang sikreto dito tuloy tuloy and no hesitations. No hmm, false start, or paulit ulit. And hindi pwedeng wala ka sasabihin in 3 secs.
Format:
1. This (whatever) graph/chart represents/shows (topic)
2. (talk about any two or three info you can see in the image) The highest blah blah, the lowest blah blah. Followed by blah blah
3. In summary, the graph is accurate and concise and could be a helpful reference for further studies in (something).
*kabisaduhin nyo yang format na yan pati mga fillers. Napakalaking bagay kapag wala na kayong masabi.
4. Retell Lecture
- Important masulat nyo in bullet points yung sinasabi ng speaker. Practice magsulat habang nakikinig at dapat mabasa mo sulat mo hehe. Nangyari sakin indi ko mabasa sinulat ko. Kasi after mo magsulat ilang secs lang magsasalita ka na agad.
Format:
1. The speaker mainly talks about (topic)
2. According to the speaker, there are several points in the lecture.
3. Firstly, he/she mentioned that (point 1)
4. Secondly, he/she emphasized (topic 2)
5. Lastly, he/she suggested (topic 3)
6. In summary, it is clear and interesting as a learning topic.
Same sa describe image, kabisaduhin format pati fillers. Pwede din kayo magimbento ng iba pang fillers for general use
5. Answer short question
- Practice din dito and pwede din pumikit para mas makaconcentrate.
6. Summarize written text
- May magandang tutorial ang e2language for this test. Ang ginawa ko, basahin ko essay then distinguish ko kung what is it about and kung ano yung mga palabok lang (details). Then tanggalin ko mga palabok and kunin ko lang yung mismong (main) idea ng essay. Nahirapan din ako dito dati kasi pati details sinasali ko. Practice practice ang need
7. Essay
- Most of the time argumentative essay ang need isulat. 4 paragraphs ako dito. Practice practice. check:Grammar, spelling, punctuation
Format:
1. Introduction
background statement
rewrite the question
“This essay will…”
2. Arguments 1 & 2
opening sentence
support sentence
evidence
closing sentence
3. Closing
"This essay discussed" (summarize points in arguments 1 & 2)
"In my opinion," (rephrase 4th sentence in Introduction)

7. Highlight incorrect words

Gumamit din ako ng PTE Tutorial and PTE Preparation app. Kelan ko lang nalaman may ganyang app na pala hehe. Malaking tulong sya sa pagpractice sa Reading since yun ang weakness ko.
Para sa mga nagstruggle kagaya ko.. Kung hindi nyo pa nakukuha ang desired score, don't give up. May perfect time si God at makakamit nyo din yun. Never lose hope. Tiwala sa taas at sa sarili.
God bless everyone!
