    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?๐Ÿ˜

    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! ๐Ÿ˜

    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.

    @Unsullied_06 thank you for the info! I will stick to 'the speaker was discussing....' at try ko ang 60-65 words hehe.

    Regarding sa break time, how did you manage po? Since na ang new pattern ng exam eh no break na. Salamat!

    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!!!

    Thank you Sir @Unsullied_06 hehe. Nag CR break po ba kayo? Para sana makapag stretching? Hehe.

    Regarding sa pag punta sa center. Mas advisable po ba na mas mauna o mahuli sa exam? Para iwas sa ingay hehe.

    Regarding sa pag punta sa center. Mas advisable po ba na mas mauna o mahuli sa exam? Para iwas sa ingay hehe.

    Sa 2 takes ko Sir parehong di ako nag-CR kasi sayang oras lalo sa Reading at Listening. Nung 2nd take ko Sir nung WE pati SST gusto ko sana mag-CR kasi may ilang mins pa kong tira kaso di ko na tinuloy baka kasi matagalan pa papasok at palabas kasi magreregister ulit. Kaya ginagawa ko bago magsimula exam nag-cCR na ko. Regarding mauna o mahuli Sir sa 2 takes ko lagi ako nasa first 3 magsimula mas tolerable sakin yun kasi mas nakakafocus ako di pa gaanong maingay o kung umingay man at least nasa momentum na ko. Kaya nasa first 3 din ako natatapos magtake.

    Hello po. Nung 1st take hindi po ako nag-add Proficient ako. Nung 2nd take nag-add ako kaya Superior na. Tingin ko po effective yung pag-aadd tama yung mga naunang nagbigay ng tip dito na wala naman deduction sa WFD kahit may extra words.

    Hello Ma'am @camg1124 regarding documents okay na po yang 2 na yan makakapasok na kayo sa exam room. Siguro for exam proper mas okay magsuot lang po kayo nung manipis na face mask tapos dala konting extra para mas madali magbasa. Better to bring your own pen na din po kasi magtatime-in muna kayo sa ground floor bago paakyatin eh medyo tumataas na naman po COVID cases. Good luck po!

    Kelangan niyo po iimprove un fluency kung hindi niyo makumpleto un sentence. Sa experience ko po, kahit di completo un sentence or may pinalit akong ibang word na katunong nun nasa question prompt, nakakakuha pa rin po ako ng high score dahil sa fluency. Dapat po ma-eliminate niyo po ung pag-stutter and pagpause ng matagal. Practice lang po, makukuha niyo rin po yan.

    @kidfrompolomolok salamat sa information! May napanood kasi ako sa youtube na yung WFD na mag-add ka ng words (singular and plural) is hindi na daw effective.
