@mandark_d_gray Siguro mga 2 to 3 weeks ako nag-aral. Sinisingit ko mga 2 hours after work. Tapos pag weekend mas mahaba. Mga 1 week inaral ko yun exam format kasi sobrang iba siya sa IELTS. Then 1-2 weeks na nag-aanswer ng mga sample questions at mock test.
Tapos yun day before dina ako nag-aral at all.Para mas marelax ako.

@HillSong ako naexperience ko yan, 2 essays. Yung isa naubusan ako ng time di ko naayos conclusion ng sinusulat ko, so mababa yung Writing at Written discourse ko. So manage your time well sayang din puntos.
Sa mock test naman, i highly recommend yung gold kit. Especially kung first time mo palang mag eexam. Kasi maeexperience mo mismo yung actual pace ng exam. I got the gold kit, di ko na-Superior yung 1st and 2nd tries ko sa gold kit na yun pero nalaman ko kung saan ako dapat mag focus. Then nung sa exam na mismo, luckily i was able to get a Superior mark.
and one more thing, kung mag ppractice ka ng Speaking specifically yung Read Aloud, i suggest turn up your TV haha! as in lakasan mo yung point na nakaka distract.. para masanay ka mag tune-out ng noise sa paligid. Kasi during sa exam nagulat ako sobrang ingay nyong lahat ng nag eexam, as in parang palengke. So that's what i recommend.

@barricade thanks sa tips po. Though di mo po natapos yung isang essay, superior pa din yung score mo sa Writing? tama po ba?
nabili ko na yung gold kit at naubos ko na din yung 2 mock exams.. Pero di ko pa rin nakuha yung superior sa PTE.. Kaya I am thinking kung worth it pa ba bumili ng gold kit, since same set questions lang ata din? or any mock exam na pwede? nagpaschedule na din ulit me ng exam by Nov..
oo nga nakakaloka.. lalo na yung last take ko, kahit alam ko yung env na ganun talga, nafall pa rin ako sa ingay, at nawawala sa concentration

^ book mo online, tip lang sa lahat: i used paymaya booking my PTE, cashback nakuha ko 500 every month + chance to get + 1k pa(random 1%,10%,100%), bale max total of 1.5k per month, i got 1.5k less sa exam. check nyo promo ni paymaya at least nakaka discount kayo. every month 500 cashback worth 5k online, since nasa 10k ang exam menos na hehe, if hindi kayo familiar pa sa paymaya i can help just pm.
btw i finally got my desired score today 79+, didn't expect na aabot sa 79 yun listening ko i know i missed 2 words sa 1 WFD sentence ko e hehe. kahapon lang ako nagexam ng 5pm finally !

@TSM_Oz_Dream usually not recommended ang mag pa rescore due to the cost and since yung exam mo will be checked again by a computer so most likely the results are the same. Retake nalang ikaw, preferably in the next 2-3 weeks para nandyan pa ang momentum. Yang score na 2 points na kulang, sa negative marking ka lang nadali siguro - you’ll ace it the next time basta focus lang ulit. Ganyan din ako noon kulang ng 2 points yata sa reading, iniyakan ko talaga pero bangon lang ulit

@TSM_Oz_Dream practice ka sa Summarize written text saka R&W fill in the blanks.
Itong strategy dito nagpataas ng reading and writing ko. Lagi nasa 70s lang ako sa mock exam sa reading and writing pero ginawa ko yun strategy dito naging 90 ako sa actual.
Tapos practice ka collocations.
