anastasia.salvador · September 2019

Hello po,

Questions lang po regarding sa mock test ko. Bakit po kaya 10 lang pronounciation ko? I assume dhil sa mic lang po eto. And ano pong areas need ko iimprove?

Thank you so much!

Probably because of the mic. Improve po tayo sa RA, RWFIB and WFD. Good luck and God bless.

Accuracy sa WFD, tipong kahit “ed”, “es”, etc. dapat nakukuha mo. Aakyat ng 79+ yung Listening mo plus Writing kpg nagawa mo yun.

Pasensya na po at di naman sa pagmamayabang.
Kung titingnan ko po yung ibang graph ng mga PTE exam takers, mas maayos tingnan yung sa kanila kesa sa akin.
Ito po nakuha kong score.

Buncs · September 2019

Alam ko po kapag superior english, kelangan lahat nasa 79 ang score.
Mababa nakuha ko sa written discourse pero mataas ang overall score ko.
Paano po nangyari yun?

ionnagab0222 · September 2019

@Buncs sir ung communicative skills lang po ung dapat 79 up...congrats po sa superior!

Buncs · September 2019

@ionnagab0222 Salamat po sa reply Sir.
Di ko talaga alam bakit nagging ganyan ang score ko.
Alam ko babagsak ako kasi sa 1st part nung exam, halos wala akong matandaan na nakasagot ako ng maayos.

ionnagab0222 · September 2019

@Buncs napakaswerte nyo nman po

para sa nyo po yan sir...congrats ulit

Additionally, meron din pong mga practice sets and reviewers sa youtube like yung PTE Academic Gold. Pero I suggest nood po muna kayo ng mga explanations nila Jay ng E2Language at Moni PTE Magic. From there po magkaka idea po kayo sa bawat item task types sa PTE, then saka po kayo mag practice or review. God bless po.

This is a good scenario na di lang po dapat sa essay mag focus. WFD, SWT, RWFITB, etc. lahat po eto nagccontribute po sa Writing scores, so dapat po pag focusan din lalo po yung WFD and SWT.

Ito po siya. Sa 2nd attempt ko yung reading ko needs 2 points nalang sana pasado na lhat. Kaso sa third attempt bumaba pa lalo yunh score ng speaking and reading. 😭. Advisable po ba na 5 pm mag take?

Just sharing my experience. Like everyone has been saying, you should take PTE instead of IELTS. Got superior on my first try. As for the exam itself, in my opinion, if you regularly use english at work both verbal and written, you have a good chance of acing it.

The only hardest part in the exam is the "re-tell lecture" and "describe image". But don't worry, the low scores you get there assuming you could barely construct a sensible sentence (like me during the exam), can be easily offset by the remaining parts which are way easier. Trust me. I didn't practice note taking for re-tell lectures nor memorised any template for describe image, I thought I could get away without them being comfortable enough in speaking english most of the time.

I never thought I would absolutely go dumb during the exam on those sections. Very few words came out of my mouth, often times I'd go "sht!, dmn!, f*ck! silently over the microphone. Several times I went completely blank and I just let the progress bar reach the end. You can imagine the frustration there.

After those two parts, the only thing going through my head was to finish the exam and to finish it quick and look forward to the next. I told myself I would definitely use templates next time and watch more youtube videos on how to handle the re-tell lecture part. I didn't even take the 10-minute break just to get it done and over with. "Sobrang ihing-ihi at gutom na, tiniis ko makauwi lang kagad sa sobrang badtrip! Bagsak na kung bagsak! Bawi na lang next time!"

I subscribed to apeuni app vip for 30 days 3 days before the exam and practised only several read aloud and repeat sentences (not a good way to spend P800 I know). Due to my circumstances, I didn't have enough time to prepare but the truth is, it was all my fault by not exerting enough effort on it.

Five days later comes the exam result. Lo and behold, I got superior and 90 on speaking! Is this a joke? I asked myself. The highest score I got was for speaking? Are you serious right now? After the exam, I remember looking at my erasable notepad and only saw 3 words I've written for the re-tell lecture. And here you are telling me I got 90? Oh well, like a great philosopher once said, "all is well that ends well".

These are not my tips but some things I remember I did during the exam. Could be useful to you. Hopefully. Who knows?

I answered quickly as I could. I never looked at the timer except for the essay part. I clicked on the next button as soon as I was confident with my answer. Partly I guess because of what I narrated above.
In the multiple choice multiple answer, I didn't bother limiting my answers to just one as opposed to some people advising otherwise to avoid the right answer being negated by the wrong one. If you know the answers, be confident. It's basic english. Answer at will. Don't worry too much.
I wrote 4 paragraphs in my essay. 1 Intro, 2 arguments (each with for and against), and 1 conclusion. Very lame arguments if you'd ask me. It's like a grade school student trying to explain something to an adult.

To be honest, the only key takeaway I am confident to share with you all is this. Like in all things in life, don't worry too much! Hakuna Matata! Was it timon or pumba who said it? Never mind. In other words, the less you worry about the exam result or the amount of money you'll spend or already have, the more comfortable you'll be during the exam.

Set your mindset that you'll definitely pass the exam. That one day while sitting with friends and families in your Australian residence, you'll look back and tell yourself, "all my hard work paid off". Don't forget to thank the Lord. It will happen. Pray and practice!

@Supersaiyan, Kaya nga po naglakas loob ako mag apply kasi naka tsamba ako sa PTE pero naging kampante naman yata ako masyado kaya sumablay naman ako sa assessment.
Itutuloy ko pa rin po ang application ko pa OZ.
Hinihintay ko lang sumagot yung agency kung ite take nila ang case ko or not.
Salamat po uli sa inyo.

Buncs · September 2019

@pinoyaub0y , Amen to that!
I experienced the same.
Failed part of my PTE-A exam - re-tell lecture, describe image AND essay (Yes. You read it right. ESSAY).
Believe it or not, pinulikat pa ako during the exam!

ms_ane · September 2019

@nise_02 sa Reading sa negative marking ka nalang yan sumabit. Practice more sa area na iyon and makukuha mo din ang iyong superior score konti nalang iyan wag mawalan ng pag asa

ms_ane · September 2019

@Buncs congrats to your superior score (with pulikat hahaha!)

To God be all the Glory
