hello @Admin , template po talaga yung ginamit ko. I used the one from sonny english. Less from the actual image talaga. Bali opening template + title + template + info from graph (lowest/highest) + closing template.
Yung info from graph ko nga more than once talaga ako nag pause (1-2 secs) tapos mali2x pa yung sinabi ko. hehe, nagulat nalang ako at nag 90 pa sa speaking. I guess malaki talaga yung Read Aloud at Repeat Sentence.

@Admin feel you, hehehe
madali yung guide and tutorials at yung mga so-called technique, pero kapag practice na. . . naku, mahirap talaga, yung iba nga e parang walang sense na.
sa mga diskompyado akong sagot, malimit ginogoogle ko kung saan nakuha yung mga Qs, at yun nga, tama naman nga yung pgkakasunud sunud.

@Admin "Grabe i just checked Sonny Guide. mas simple nga cya. walang ka stress stress and straight to the point."
Ser ingat kapo sa style ni Sonny sa SWT. Maapektuhan ang written discourse mo, sinunod ko sya sa SWT and essay nya. Hnd umabot ung score ko sa reading 77 lang, ung Writtng ko is 80. I am not sure, pero malakas kutob ko hnd mgnda msyado score ko sa SWT. Mas ok ung advice na simple lang using Fanboys.

AKo po ginamit ko yung diskarte ni Sonny sa SWT, pero ang pinanood ko na video ay uung video nya regarding complex compound. Pero hndi ako nagparaphrase, I copied important texts. Hope it helps.

@Admin, maganda score ko sa speaking and listening, for DI ito ung ginamit ko:
Tapos make sure lang ser na magsabi ka ng mga nsa images, like: highest, lowest, then closely followed mga ganun, kung image is ung end and start then something in between. About sa RA naman ser gnamit ko ung style ng pagsasalita ng Australian, hindi mabilis magsalita then ginagawa kong malinaw ung words. Malaking tulong sakin ung Australian True Crime podcast. Hehe matatakot kalang sa mga malalaman mo sa AU pero magandang practice sya, seach mo ser sa spotify. All the best satin. reading part ang problema ko. hehe

Pag kasi hidi expert sa pag paraphrase, copy nalang text kasi may tendency na ma out of topic ka, kaya ako kinocopy ko lang text then I used complex compound technique ni sonny para iconnect sila.

I used sonny's compound complex structure for SWT and templates for DI and Essay, all worked for me. Sa SWT I paraphrase on my 1st take ok naman then on my 2nd take I copied exact phrases both exams I had 90 in writing.
Problema ko noon ay reading kasi ang hirap ng rwfib at ro. I practiced in ptetutorials.com and ptestudy.com confident ako nung 2nd take na mataas na reading ko though may isang RO na di ko sure kung tama hehe. Unexpectedly, I got 90. Practice lang po sa websites na yan.

Hi Guys,
During PTE exam, magkakasunod sunod ba lahat ng Items. i.e. Six questions for Read Aloud, followed by 10 questions of Repeat Sentence, followed by 6 questions of Describe Image... lastly, 3 questions about Write from Dictation... Or halo halo ang items?
Thanks in advance.
