Hello! Meron po ba dito na this week ang schedule ng exam sa Trident Makati? Tomorrow po supposedly yung exam, but na-cancel this morning lang. And october na ang next available dates. Dahil po ba to sa "stricter" GCQ?

Sa seksyon ng PTE Sumulat Mula sa Dictation, dapat i-type ng kandidato ang sagot sa computer. Upang madagdagan ang kawastuhan ng sagot, makakakuha ka ng isang magaspang na scrap sa iyong sheet ng sagot. Dito, maaaring isulat ng mga kandidato ang kanilang mga sagot, paulit-ulit, gumawa ng mga pagbabago, napatunayan ito nang maraming beses bago ang huling pagsumite. Ang scratchpad na ito ay tulad ng isang pagpapala sa disguise at dapat mo lang itong pansinin. Gamitin ito sa sagad bago isumite ang sagot sa huling kahon ng tugon.

Hi po. Took the exam last Aug 24 in SG-Cuppage Road and I Just got my results today. Nakakuha po ako ng Superior. Thank God! Salamat talaga sa tips ni @zekemadr @silverbullet @r_oras @taniamarkova !
Speaking: May mga RA na lumabasa sa APEUni. Other items bago na lahat. Salamat sa templates for RL, DI. I followed it para ok yung fluency.
Writing: Followed the teamplates ni E2Language
Reading: Andami from APEUni. Sa sobrang "looks familiar" lalo na FITB, di ko na binasa yung paragraph lol.
Listening: Lahat bago sa akin. Pero ung mga practice items sa APEUni nung gamit ko pang prep.
Salamat sa tips about APEUni. Good investment sya talaga. Di ako endorser lol. Based from my experience lang.
Godbless you all po!

Di ko na matandaan yung mga actual sir. Pero I can say na mas madali ung actual test kesa mga mock test and sample items sa APEUni.
Grabe ung take namin kasi 8AM dapat. Pero nag down ung system in PTE. Pinabalik pa kami ng 11AM. Nung timeslot na nun, puno yung room. Nakaka overwhelm lalo na pag Speaking na. Sobrang ingay. Sa dapat focus lang talaga.
Kaya yan sir. Yung style ko is practice daily for 2 months. Try ko din sa youtube maghanap ng mga probables. Pero dun talaga sa APEUni ang dami lumabas sa Reading. Andun lahat sa Mock Tests.
Salamat ng sobra sa tips sa APEUni. Big help talaga!

Hello guys.. anyone here willing to swap their PTE exam at Trident to a later date? saaadd.. naka-ilang re-schedule na si PTE ng exam..
Joined: May 03, 2020
I'm not sure if it's because of the stricter GCQ guildelines na na-impose starting Aug 19. Dati kasi pwede ang testing centers during GCQ, pero nagbago ata ang rules. Wala rin kasing reason stated sa mga cancellation email nila. Naka-ilang resched na rin ako ng exam.

Goodluck sir! Yung speaking part, nagpractice din ako while wearing a face mask. Para masanay na for the actual test. Medyo punoan ung mga dates ngayon, so expected na mas maingay din. Kaya yan sir!

Mask is not required during the Speaking part. Starting sa writing lang required. RELC din ako. Walang gaanong tao nung sa akin. One seat apart so di gaanong maingay.

thanks in advance.
