Sa writing dictation. Ano mas ok habang nakikinig. Sinusulat sa papel or direcho type sa computer?

Depende po kung san kayo mas comfortable. Sakin kasi mas effective ung direcho type sa computer kasi mabilis ako mag type so habang nakikinig, ni-ttype ko na ung mga naririnig ko tapos aayusin nalang after. May iba kasing suggestion na paper daw muna magsulat kasi mas na-cacatch mo ung spelling errors pag ni-ttype mo na sa computer.
Mag practice ka using both styles tapos i-identify mo kung ano mas suitable sayo.

Question: ung sa dependent na PTE. May sinasabi sila kahit hindi na sya mag take pero kuha sya ng certificate sa school nya or college na english ang medium?
Pwede pa ba yun for dependent or wife ko? Ano po pala tawag dun? Kung mag rerequest sya? And may format po ba? Pwede po pa send sample?
Salamat ng marami!!

Oo bro mas mabilis satin ung direcho type sa pc haha piece of advice lang, sa WFD pag nag ttype ka, hndi mo kelangan buoin muna ung words. I-shortcut mo muna ung pagspell tapos ayusin mo nalang after nung statement. Haha.

Ang pag kakaalam ko need rin ng wife mo na mag english test kasi un ang basis nila whether competent or not para i-award ung additional 10 points if skilled ung partner mo and 5 points naman if not. Based yan sa pagkakaintindi ko sa "Partner Skills Qualification". Pero para mas mabigyan ka ng proof, attach ko dito ung image and then ung link para sa description ng competent English.

Oh jan po sa part na yan eh try to read the passage within 18 - 24 seconds. Practice mo po to monitor ung time while reading although hindi mo sya magagawa sa real test kasi pabaliktad ung countdown sa real test. Pero ang mappraktis mo jan na applicable sa real test is ung speed ng reading which will help you score high sa oral fluency for Read Aloud.

Good evening po.
Tanong lang po kung may naka try na po mag pa re-score ng PTE scores dito?
Kaka-take ko lang ng PTE kanina, and received my score after few hours.
Eto po scores ko:
Just wondering kung anong nangyare sa writing and reading scores ko since medyo matataas naman po yung enabling scores ko. May chance kayang mabago yung scores if mag request for re-scoring?
Thank you.

Hello po. Pag nagbasa ka po sa mga blogs about re-scoring, it is highly unlikely na mag increase ang score mo. More likely pa na mababawasan. And by requesting for re-score, certain parts lang ang irerescore nila and not the whole test.
If you feel confident enough na you did well in all speaking parts and open-ended written responses, then you can always try nman po if you have that extra money to spend for re-scoring.

Hello po. Ang pagkaka alam ko po eh hindi na nila yan pagtutuunan ng pansin kung naka ilang take ka. Basta ang titignan lang nila is kung ano ung latest test number na sinubmit or inupdate mo sa EOI mo. And then i-ccross check nalang ung corresponding points na ibibigay sayo based sa english test results mo (although automatic na sya ngayon).
