WFD will boost your L and W scores. For reading, careful with MCMAs

Honestly po nakuha ko WFD yong 3 except pala yong isang word mali spelling ko, ok naman yong RS, nagtaka lang ako siguro sa MCCMA kasi multiple answers talaga sagot ko. Dapat siguro pili na lang Isa kung di sure or skip na lang. nakakasad lang, pero tuloy laban, baka sa SST, kasi di ko siguro nakuha ng maayos yong thought. Any tips sa SST?
Sa Reading ba, kahit di mo sagutan yong MCMA may Chance masuperior? Naubusan ako ng time dahil sa MCMA ayon nagsuffer FIB.
Magtake na lang ulit ako soon. Baka kulang pa sa practice sa Reading.
Thanks po pala. 🙂 take ako soon.

It's paid but totally worth it. Why? This is from Pearson itself. So you get a feel of the actual exam as well as the scoring.

Question po sa writing SWT. In the actual exam, can you actually copy paste the sentences/paragraph prompt to the answer box?
How about for Essay, can you actually copy paste the whole essay to the NEXT essay prompt? In ptepractice mock exam, it is possible po kasi. Would be great if it's possible to do that in the actual exam to save time writing the template/structure for the 2nd Essay prompt.

Nope, you can't. Tried it.
If you are pertaining to your essay, not sure.
Overall, the ptemock is via web browser while the actual mock is a stand alone application. Meaning, it has full control over the keyboard, mouse, etc.

If you're sure in WFD, then improve your SST and SWT ensure there are lot of keywords. Do not spend much time in MCMA, focus on RWFIB, RFIB and RO.

Hi Guys,
Goo day! Dun po ba sa Listening Fill in the Blanks, pwede na diretso magtype ng answer sa blanks or sa white board po muna isusulat?
Thanks in advance.

Most welcome! It's alright, practice lang ng practice, try Apeuni too, kase some of the RS na andun ay lumabas sa actual PTE exam ko which I took two days ago. Ang ginawa ko, which is proven naman kase I got high marks, is if di mo nakuha ang whole sentence ng RS let's say sa last few words ng sentence, just insert any phrases to complete the sentence like "the students are going to the university" or, "the students are going to the library" and you'll be fine, as long as you don't pause and your oral fluency is there. All the best!

Hi! Newbie here...
Question lang po, sa WFD, may deduction po ba sa points kung mas madami yung words na natype mo than the expected word count? Example, hindi po ako sure kung anong article yung ginamit so I typed a/an and the. 😅
