    Ngayon ko nalang pala ishare ung ginawa ko po sa review hehe hindi ako makatulog sa sobrang tuwa.

    Una po, gusto ko po muna magpa-salamat sa thread na ito. Kung hindi po dahil sa inyo, hindi po ako makakakuha ng tips sa PTE exam ko. Pangalawa po, HUWAG PO KAYO SUSUKO! 6 takes po ako bago ko nakuha yung score na kelangan ko. Kung hindi niyo po makuha sa una, ikalawa, ikatlo, huwag po kayo panghinaan ng loob. Makukuha niyo rin po yan!

    Ito naman po yung mga ginawa ko nun nagrereview po ako:

    Speaking
    Read Aloud
    Malaking tulong po sakin dito yun ApeUni. Practice lang po sa talaga sa ApeUni ang ginawa ko dito. May shadowing din kasi si ApeUni, kaya pwede din po kayo masanay kung papano po yung tamang pag-pronounce ng words and intonation. Nun una, mababa nakukuha ko kay ApeUni sa RA tapos pag pinakingan yung recording ang panget ng output. Pero may settings lang pala sa chrome browser para maging maayos un pag-record ng boses niyo. Kelangan niyo lang po piliin yung tamang input device or yung mic ng computer niyo. iCheck niyo nalang po sa youtube or i-google niyo po kung pano po iset ng tama un mic sa google chrome. After ko po ito magawa, kahit nag-stutter ako sa practice nakakakuha parin ako ng score na above 70 sa ApeUni Read Aloud. Another advice din po, kuha po kayo ng headphone na may maayos na mic. Para masanay din po kayo pagdating sa exam. Nun una po kasi, ang ginagamit ko lang ay yung mga free earphones (pag bumili kayo ng cellphone) na may mic.

    Dito po, nagpractice muna ako ng WFD. Halos same din kasi po. Kelangan niyo po makuha or matandaan yung sinabi ng speaker. Mas nadadalian din po ako sa WFD nun una kesa sa RS. Kaya sinanay ko po muna yung tenga ko sa WFD. Nun nasanay na ako or natatandaan ko na un sinabi ng speaker, mas nadalian na ako sumagot. Another tip po is iimprove niyo po un fluency. Napansin ko po, mas mataas ang score ng RS kapag fluent po kayo.

    Dito po, gumamit ako ng template. Yung kay Sonny English po ang ginamit ko. Check niyo nalang po sa Youtube Channel niya yung template. May playlist po siya dun ng DI templates. Tapos po, practice lang din po sa ApeUni.

    - Dito po kay Jay ule ako natuto. Ang sabi niya, kelangan po iimprove un grammar, vocab and collocations. Actually, ang hirap po ng collocations kasi sobrang dami. Ang ginawa ko po dito ay naghanap po ako ng video na may collocations tapos ginawa kong background music habang nasa trabaho, pag-nagdridrive, etc. Malaking tulong din kasi kahit papano, may matatandaan ka na ilang pairs ng words na nalabas sa exam.

Hindi ko makuha un flow ng information nun una. Kaya ang ginawa ko po ay nagbasa ako ng nagbasa. Bumili ako ng libro(fictional and non-fictional), nagbabasa din ako sa ScienceDaily.com ng mga articles. Hangang sa nasanay po ako. Sinamahan ko rin ng practice sa ApeUni.

    Again, maraming salamat po ule sa inyo kasi ang laki po ng naitulong ng thread na ito sakin. Sa mga mag-tatake po ng exam, huwag po kayo kabahan kasi alam ko po kaya niyo po yan. Wag niyo rin po kalimutan mag-dasal. Malaking tulong po talaga ang dasal,

    Huwag din po kayo manghinayang sa pag-gastos ng subscription fee sa ApeUni or ibang review/practice resources. Sobrang laki bagay po talaga kapag nakakapag-practice kayo sa mga sites na iyan.

    Maraming Salamat po!

    Just a way of giving back po. share na rin ako ng tricks and tips that worked for me, pero hindi na about sa per question types kasi yung tips nila @Unsullied_06 @chemistmom @reemon yung sinundan ko po talaga.

    1. I know it can be very exhausting po mag aral, and given a handful of resources, baka maoverwhelm kayo. Ganun po kasi nangyari sakin. Alam yan nung mga na-PM ko dito :) Ang ginawa ko po is una, youtube at vids muna plus yung pointers ni Pearson. Inaral ko yung exam format, question types, scoring.
    2. Then, nag mock exam ako. This is to assess kung saan ang weak points ko. From there, alam ko na kung anong youtube videos yung babalikan ko.
    3. Next practice na po ng practice kay APEUni. Practice ng practice. Mula nung magsubscribe ako sa VIP dun, halos everyday ako nag mamock, para maestimate ko yung time per question type. Although di ko sya nirerecommend kasi may times na ang maaalala mo is yung maling naisagot mo over dun sa correct answer. Plus, same sa mga andito, hindi rin ako naka Superior kahit kelan sa 14-16 mock exams ko, so imbes masayang yung oras sa whole mock eh mag per section/question type nalang muna para matutukan yung area na need maimprove.
    4. Listening: para sa RS, WFD - ginagawa kong parang radio yung mga predictions habang may gawaing bahay, minsan even bago matulog pinapakinggan ko tas inuulit ko ung mga questions either in my head or bibigkasin
    5. Speaking: lahat ng need ko basahin even about work nireread aloud ko para mapractice ko pronunciation at fluency sa binabasa ko
    6. Reminder: Hindi po ito parang board exams, or certifications na may Looks Fam sa pinagreviewhan. Yung actual exam is very different sa practice questions sa APE uni/other youtube resources. Talagang they serve as practice guides lang po.
    7. Day before exam, nag aral pa rin ako and even yung before ako umalis ng place ko nakinig ako ng predictions - although wag kayo magrely dito since wala naman lumabas sa actual exams. This may not be recommended by others, na dapat magrelax na kayo, pero sakin na crammer, nagwework sakin yun nagaaral pa rin before exam.
    8. Exam Day: Although sinabi sa Pearson guide at sa mababasa nyong booklet sa Exam Center na accessories less than 1 cm is pwede, well hindi po. Might as well wag nyo na isuot bago kayo umalis ng bahay, para di mawala momentum nyo sa pagpabalik balik sa locker para hubarin ang mga dapat hubarin. ALL accessories bawal - even rings at earrings, or mask lanyards.
    9. Last but not the least. Prayers po. Wag kakalimutan. Matthew 7:7-8 NIV - Ask and it will be given to you; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you.

    Again, maraming salamat po sa lahat ng tips at tricks na mga nasheshare sa forum na to. :) Good luck po satin lahat sa journey natin :)

    Ngayon ko nalang pala ishare ung ginawa ko po sa review hehe hindi ako makatulog sa sobrang tuwa.

    Una po, gusto ko po muna magpa-salamat sa thread na ito. Kung hindi po dahil sa inyo, hindi po ako makakakuha ng tips sa PTE exam ko. Pangalawa po, HUWAG PO KAYO SUSUKO! 6 takes po ako bago ko nakuha yung score na kelangan ko. Kung hindi niyo po makuha sa una, ikalawa, ikatlo, huwag po kayo panghinaan ng loob. Makukuha niyo rin po yan!

    Ito naman po yung mga ginawa ko nun nagrereview po ako:

    Speaking
    Read Aloud
    Malaking tulong po sakin dito yun ApeUni. Practice lang po sa talaga sa ApeUni ang ginawa ko dito. May shadowing din kasi si ApeUni, kaya pwede din po kayo masanay kung papano po yung tamang pag-pronounce ng words and intonation. Nun una, mababa nakukuha ko kay ApeUni sa RA tapos pag pinakingan yung recording ang panget ng output. Pero may settings lang pala sa chrome browser para maging maayos un pag-record ng boses niyo. Kelangan niyo lang po piliin yung tamang input device or yung mic ng computer niyo. iCheck niyo nalang po sa youtube or i-google niyo po kung pano po iset ng tama un mic sa google chrome. After ko po ito magawa, kahit nag-stutter ako sa practice nakakakuha parin ako ng score na above 70 sa ApeUni Read Aloud. Another advice din po, kuha po kayo ng headphone na may maayos na mic. Para masanay din po kayo pagdating sa exam. Nun una po kasi, ang ginagamit ko lang ay yung mga free earphones (pag bumili kayo ng cellphone) na may mic.

    Resources:

    • APEUni

    Repeat Sentence
    Dito po, nagpractice muna ako ng WFD. Halos same din kasi po. Kelangan niyo po makuha or matandaan yung sinabi ng speaker. Mas nadadalian din po ako sa WFD nun una kesa sa RS. Kaya sinanay ko po muna yung tenga ko sa WFD. Nun nasanay na ako or natatandaan ko na un sinabi ng speaker, mas nadalian na ako sumagot. Another tip po is iimprove niyo po un fluency. Napansin ko po, mas mataas ang score ng RS kapag fluent po kayo.

    Resources:

    • APEUni

    Describe Image
    Dito po, gumamit ako ng template. Yung kay Sonny English po ang ginamit ko. Check niyo nalang po sa Youtube Channel niya yung template. May playlist po siya dun ng DI templates. Tapos po, practice lang din po sa ApeUni.

    - Dito po kay Jay ule ako natuto. Ang sabi niya, kelangan po iimprove un grammar, vocab and collocations. Actually, ang hirap po ng collocations kasi sobrang dami. Ang ginawa ko po dito ay naghanap po ako ng video na may collocations tapos ginawa kong background music habang nasa trabaho, pag-nagdridrive, etc. Malaking tulong din kasi kahit papano, may matatandaan ka na ilang pairs ng words na nalabas sa exam. Bukod po dito is practice din sa ApeUni.

    • Sonny English (RFIB):

    Reorder Paragraph
    - Dito naman po ang ginawa ko dito ay pinanood ko un lecture ni Jay sa e2language sa youtube and more on reading practice(articles, books, news, etc). Dito po kasi ako nahirapan talaga. Hindi ko makuha un flow ng information nun una. Kaya ang ginawa ko po ay nagbasa ako ng nagbasa. Bumili ako ng libro(fictional and non-fictional), nagbabasa din ako sa ScienceDaily.com ng mga articles. Hangang sa nasanay po ako. Sinamahan ko rin ng practice sa ApeUni.

    Resources:

    - Again, kay Jay ng e2language po ung sinunod ko dito plus practice sa ApeUni

    Resources:

    • e2language:

    Write from Dictation
    - Dito po, sinanay ko po un tenga ko sa kakapakinig ng news and then tinatry ko alalahanin un sinabi ng reporter. Ang pinapakingan ko po madalas dito ay ung ABC News Australia sa Youtube. Dun po ako nasanay makinig and maintindihan yung sinasabi nun speaker. Kasabay din po nito un practice sa ApeUni.

    Resources:

    • ApeUni
    • Any News(English) on Youtube

    The Rest of Listening
    - Puro practice lang po talaga ako dito sa ApeUni. Wala na po ako pinanood na videos or lectures dito. Puro practice lang po.

    • ApeUni

    Again, maraming salamat po ule sa inyo kasi ang laki po ng naitulong ng thread na ito sakin. Sa mga mag-tatake po ng exam, huwag po kayo kabahan kasi alam ko po kaya niyo po yan. Wag niyo rin po kalimutan mag-dasal. Malaking tulong po talaga ang dasal,

    Huwag din po kayo manghinayang sa pag-gastos ng subscription fee sa ApeUni or ibang review/practice resources. Sobrang laki bagay po talaga kapag nakakapag-practice kayo sa mga sites na iyan.

    Maraming Salamat po!

    Wow congrats po Sir! Sana mainvite na tayo lahat this coming FY.

    Maraming salamat sa tulong mo po sir @Unsullied_06

    Hello po! Sa mga tapos na sa PTE, ano po ang template niyo sa SST? Ang ginagamit ko kasi ay 'The speaker was discussing...' at nakukuha kong score sa Apeuni eh 6-7/10. Hingi sana ako ng tips?😁

    Nag try ako ng template ni jimmysem sa SST '... is about interesting topic based on many....' ang score ay 10/10 sa Apeuni
    Sino po nakapag try na nito sa actual exam? Salamat po sa insights ninyo! 😁

    Hello Sir @JB26 share ko po sayo naging experience ko dyan. Nung first take ko nung March kay Jimmyssem ginamit kong template sa SST naka-Proficient ako sa Writing pero yung other 3 parts Superior. Pero nung second take ko nung June yang 'the speaker was discussing' na ginamit ko ayun naka-Superior na po ako sa 4 parts. The rest ng templates na ginamit ko para sa DI & RL (Jimmyssem), SWT (Albeit), WE (Although such topics) same na para sa 1st and 2nd take ko. Kaya tingin ko po mas effective yung the speaker was discussing. Pero please take note din po na kaya tumaas din score ko nitong huli eh dahil mas okay performance ko sa WFD ngayon. Not sure sa scoring po ni ApeUni parang tanda ko never naman ako naka-10/10 kahit alin sa dalawa na yan triny ko parang nasa 8.5-9.5/10 lagi. Try niyo po ilimit sa 60-65 words lang yung SST during practice kung may maiiba sa score.

    Hello Sir. Sa Speaking wala akong ginawang break talagang tuloy-tuloy from RA to ASQ. Pagdating naman Sir sa Writing part dun ako nakarest. Sa SWT usually 3-4 mins ko lang natatapos each yun so may tirang 6-7 mins per question usually 2 items yun kaya sinasagad ko lang time till 9 mins siguro bago inext para nakapahinga ko bago mag-WE. Sa WE ganun din usually 10-12 mins tapos ko na essay ko kaya nirereview ko 3-4 times kung may error pa sa spelling, tenses, punctuations at SV agreement. Ganun din sinasagad ko mga 19 mins bago i-next. Sa reading ito ang hardest para sakin. Wala talagang extra oras sakin dito. Basta ang ginagawa ko focus sa FITB at ROP tapos shotgun sa MC questions. Sa Listening, separate na 10 mins yung SST usually 5-7 mins ko natatapos so sinasagad ko lang din mga 9 mins bago isubmit para ready ako sa next parts kasi ambilis ng oras sa Listening. Ang technique ko dito Sir shotgun na sa MC questions tapos dun sa HCS binabasa ko na agad choices while listening sa recording tapos kung ano una kong mapili na tama yun na agad sinasagot ko sayang sa oras mababa lang points nito. Ang main reason bakit ko binibilisan sa ibang parts ng Listening eh para maka-save ako ng at least 5-6 mins para matira sa WFD usually 3-4 items yun eh tapos hirap kasi ko dun para may time to rest bago magnext question para din mas marecall ko yung recording. Nasa signature ko po Sir yung detailed tips kung interesado kayo. Good luck po!!!
