Naging prob namin eto nung 1st take namin ng bf ko. Walang parking sa trident. Kakaloka. Haha. Buti 7am pa lang nandun na kami and nakapaghanap pa ng parking. Sa rcbc po ang pinakamalapit na pay parking. Then walking distance lang to trident. ๐

Parang di po ata papayagan magsulat muna. Once na inassign na po sa seat ang pagkatanda ko po start na po agad. I think pwede ka naman magsulat onti onti while nagbabasa ng unang instructions. PagkaOn ng comp kase di pa naman sya exam proper, may mga instructions pa muna.

Nung 1st take ko, mga 20 kami palagay ko. 2nd take parang wala pa 10. Kaya nung 2nd take ko wala ng tao sa waiting area 7:30 pa lang. Maaga nagassign ng mga seats.

Yan din po nadale ako ng 1st take. Writing and mababa written discourse ko. Di kasi ako nagtemplate sa essay, nagtype ako ng nagtype kase nappressure ako sa time. Then 3 paragraphs lang ako, di ko sure kung nakaaffect sa scores ko. Baka kase nakaprogram ang checking ng scores na 4 paragraphs dapat madetect. Di ko lang sure. Sa swt lage ko tinatarget nung una 50 to 60 words then mali paggamit ko ng punctuation marks like comma and semi-colon. I think yan mga nakadale sakin. Kaya nung 2nd take, template po e2 language for essay and swt technique po ni sonny english ginamit ko. 4 paragraphs na nakatemplate. Then yung swt, 20 to 40 words na dapat makuha lahat ng main points. Mas mahaba mas madami pala madedetect na errors. Review na lang din po ng basic like conjunctions ganun. 77 to 85 po ang naging scores ko. Hope makatulong po.

Hi. For writing, your essay must be 4 paragraph. 1 intro, 2 body, 1 conclusion. Kahit ano sbhn mo ok lang yan, wag ka masyado mapressure sa ilalagay mo kasi wala namang mali sa sagot. Basta tama ang spelling, grammar and punctuation marks.
For swt, pwede ka naman magcopy ng text mismo then put connectors lang like so, for, by. FANBOYS. Meron dito sa thread nyan. Sb ni jay sa e2, construct ur own sentence sa SWT, pero sa experience ko, you can copy, konting change ng word lang then add connectors, pak na yun. Hehe. Nung finafollow ko yung ke jay, i got 84 sa writing, own words ko yan, pero nung nagcopy lang ako then add AND, SO etc., naging 90. Haha.,

Hello. Magstart palang ako ng review ng PTE ko - dependent ako ni fiance ko pero I need to take PTE test. Ang haba ng thread pero hopefully may mga mabasa akong tips para makakuha ng mataas na score. Nakikita ko kasi si fiance na nagrereview before and nung nagmock siya, napressure ako sa speaking and listening. Nagtry ako ng sample and naiintimidate ako sa accent na naririnig ko and yung speaking rin, feel ko magstutter ako palagi.

Sir, bawal po mag dala. Ang dadalhin nyo lang passporte nyo.
So kailangan I-memorize nyo ito.
Kaya nyo iyan. Most nun template ng DI magkakapareho lang.
you can search dito un templates. It works for me, 1st take got 85 in Speaking, second 90 in speaking.
Kaya nyo yan, ako nga na hindi magaling mag salita naka kuha ng gnyn puntos.
Sa pressure o sa kaba po, mawawala yan if you have strong focus and goal. Kaya yan. Gawin nyong inspirasyo makasama fiancee nyo. Cheers!
