if ever po ba ok na ung apeuni for PTE mock exams or mas ok pa rin yung practice package ni pte mismo? (with limited budget)
Joined: Aug 04, 2021
Haha kaya nga po eh. Nareduce yung number of items so most likely mahirap makabawi sa score. Lalo na sa Speaking part, yung mga madadali yung binawasan nila (DI and RL).

Recommend ko po yung www.languageacademy.com.au. May free mock test pagka-sign-up. Maganda din kasi accurate yung pag-score nila ng fluency at pronunciation

Mas mababa magbigay ng score ang APEUNI compared sa real exam. Bili or hiram ka ng Plantronics na headphone with mic before ka mag official mock exam para di masayang ung exam mo. Pag pangit kasi mic, affected ung score mo din.

Share ko lang po score ko, took PTE nung dec 11. Sumabit sa listening at writing, mostly sa SWT, SST at sa essay.
nagreview po ako for months using APEuni and youtube predictions pero wala akong nakuha sa mismong exam ng mga similar questions.
nagcheck ako ngayon sa Language Academy ng mga resources at nandun ung ibang tanong na nakuha ko sa weekly predictions nila. Yung tips nila ang ggamitin ko next time for listening and writing.
Sa speaking nman madami akong sinabing kung ano ano sa repeat sentences pero close enough lang haha. okay naman then ung template ni jimmysen for DI and RL.

Gumagana po siya even after the November 16 exam update because I took the test November 18 and used it for the whole DI and RL. Baka po sa RS and RA po kayo nahirapan? Kasi ito po yung may mga malalaking weights sa scoring ng Speaking.

James 1:5-6
(New International Version)
5 If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to you.
6 But when you ask, you must believe and not doubt, because the one who doubts is like a wave of the sea, blown and tossed by the wind.
