I remember nag enroll ako online for my English exam. Pagdating sa repeat sentence mahirap nga maulit yung buong sentence.
Try it this way, Just remember the verbs, adjectives, adverbs , subject dun sa sentence. WHen you are about to repeat it, just make sure you say it in correct order. Try ignoring the articles and just memorize the important words.

Good luck.

@silverbullet tanung ko lang po kung ilang oras at months po kau nagreview saka anu pong reviewer/apps na tingin nyo po na worth it iavail at bayaran.... salamt po sa reply ^_^

Yung repeat sentence po, naaalala ko nagte-take down notes ako. Like some quick notes / doodle ng key words (ala stenographer) ng kung ano yung sentence to repeat. Need macapture yung start to end key words. I jot down the important words, removed linking verbs/words like mga: the, is, are.... basta yung mga key words sa statement to repeat.

Then I will just read through it, and incorporate what i can recall about the key message.

I recommend sample practice in Youtube po. May mga mock tests dun which simulate the actual listening to repeat sentence exercise, para mapractice din pag write nyo ng notes.

I remember they provide some writing pad/board with marker when i did the exam so why not maximize to use it, especially sa listening and anything na may lengthy notes/idea na need iretain/i-analyze

Hi, nung first month ko naka focus ako sa E2 language. nag subscribe ako sa knilang website bronze to think na meron pa silang ibang video na wala sa youtube, found out na lahat ng lessons nila ay nasa youtube na. So will not advise to subscribe un bronze nila. Just follow them sa youtube and watch them there. noon matindi tlg ako mag review sobrang dedicated. siguro 3-4hrs weekday then weekend ay 1hr.

After that, kinabisado ko mga templates, Speaking at Writing na nakuha ko dito.
Then practice sa APEUNI app. malaking tulong ito app na ito kasi puro mga exam question narito and PTE kasi ni rerecycle lang nila un ibang mga tanong, so magandang mag review dito. Subscription naman sa Apeuni, nag subscribe ako honestly at first, pero nun nalaman ko na hnd accurate un scoring nila parang naisip ko na wasted pala. haha. pero nun nawala na un subscription ko, naisip ko nlng na it is a way of paying back sa company na apeuni kaya nag subscribe parin ako. kasi malaking tulong sila actually.
First exam ko, most ng RWFIB/FIB ko nandun at WFD/SST/RL/ASQ. so review kayo doon mas maganda.

Lastly, para makita nyo o maexperience nyo kung paano un scoring ng pte, avail kayo ng mock test ng pearson mismo. Pero kung medyo hnd kaya sa budget, si apeuni meron mock para sa mga subscriber.

gabri · October 2020

After being a silent reader here for months, finally done with my PTE! Thank you to everyone na nagppost ng tips super helpful talaga.

I would just like to add that it's really useful to practice the speaking part sa area na may konting background noise. Yun yung naging struggle ko kanina hirap ako magfocus cause rinig ko yung katabi ko nagsasalita nalilito utak ko hahaha sanay kasi magpractice sa tahimik.

@silverbullet Thank you so much sa details. Nagdownload ako ng APEUni app sa phone, ask ko lang po yung predictions ba is yung Oct P or Exam Q icon? Kasi un Oct P parang prediction siya for October month, so if November magiiba na un prediction questions? Yung Exam Q naman po sabi real exam questions pero baka mas luma siya hehe. Thanks po in advance sa answer. Congrats din sa good exam results!

Yung Oct P po ay prediction pra sa buwan na yun. Suggest ko na Ulit ulitin nyo muna lht ng EXAM Q ngthen saka kayo pumunta sa prediction kapag 1 wk nalang.

Hindi sila nag iiba, nadaragdaga sya.
Take din kayo ng apeuni mock test kung vip kayo free lang yn. May ilang mga tanung akong nadaanan sa mock na nasa real exam.

andreagreypena · October 2020

Hello po. Mag ask lang po ako pano ba mamemeasure kung proficient or superior ang result ng exam po?

andreagreypena · October 2020

Hello! Mas ask lang po ako kung pano ba namemeasure kung proficient or superior ang result ng PTE exam mo? Yung overall score po kasi is 69 pero yung reading ko is 64

Hi @andreagreypena proficient po kapag 65-78 ang score mo sa listening, writing, reading and speaking tapos superior naman kung 79+ score mo sa apat. Kung 50-64 naman po competent. so kapag 64 ka po sa reading tapos mataas yung 3 sa competent pa din po kayo papasok..ano po ba score nyo sa 3?

PositiveVibes · October 2020

Hello! Im based here in SG and I just took my exam at RELC. We were only 5 in the room yesterday and were asked to wear our masks even during the speaking part. They changed back the rule of wearing one kasi before pwede tanggalin daw. I highly suggest wearing a surgical mask (yung manipis) - super comfy and mas ok ang recording. I brought 5 just in case maputol ang string. lol.
Anyway, I didn't have much time to study as I was very busy with my german classes. Nagkafever nga ako after sa PTE exam dala ng stress - pinagsabay kasi ang 2. hehe.

Sa awa ni Lord, I got superior remarks! Gulat nga ako because i wasn't that great with my RA. I stammered I think a couple of times and read the words too fast as I was nervous. I sucked in mg DI big time. I think I did way better during my practice hehe.

Anyway, my advice for the takers - practice, practice, practice especially for areas that you are weak and for these 4 areas: Read Aloud, Repeat sentence, Reading & writing: Fill in the blanks, & Write from dictation

I had to cram a day prior to the exam as I got too busy with work and my german class.
The sites that helped me a lot would be:
(1) Sonny English - like street smart yung style nya. Made things easier (at least for me) to understand the technicality of PTE and the areas I need to focus more. Fave ko talaga to.

(2) **APEuni ** - took the VIP membership (USD14lang for a month's usage) but ended up not really using it that much kasi I got busy with other things. Their predictions on what will come out did appear on my exams when I rechecked after taking it.
Helpful talaga APEuni especially if you're on a budget and you want to learn as much as you can.
I still have their SEP'20 exam collection if anybody is interested just PM me.
I would love to just share them here but I don't know how... pangEmail lang beauty ko.
If you can provide a link where I can download all the docs that would be great as well para accessible sa lahat na may gusto .

(3) e2learning - i joined their biweekly free classes (monday and friday) for additional info. Fave tip ko yung SST/ SWT nila.

So far yung kasabay kong nagtake ng exam ay hindi maiingay. Puro kami 1st timers and we were told not to raise our voices unnecessarily as not to disturb others. Ang bait pa ng proctor namin.

If you can take a mock GRADED test, the better so you would have the feel of what the exam would be like. I didn't want to spend money on mock exams so I skipped this part.

Lastly, PRAY - pray hard, pray with intention. I really thought bagsak ako sa speaking but was shocked to see I still managed to get a superior remark. To God be the glory!

Hi congrats .. ask ko lang when you are practicing the PTE are you using the headphone or earphone ..thank you

I suggest practicing your PTE using a headset than an earphone.
I used Jabra Evolve 75 UC Wireless Headset for my practice then sa testing site (RELC) they were using Andrea (I think the model was EDU-455. Some say (based on youtube) they don't like the andrea headsets pero parang ok naman for me ang pick up nya when we were doing some recording tests prior to the exam.

Malalaman lang yata yung available schedules doon sa mismong PTE website, doon sa part kung saan pipili ka ng desired schedule mo para sa actual exam.
