Read Aloud - Sobrang laking tulong ng APEUNI lalo na sa Read Aloud at Repeat Sentence. For Read Aloud, ang tip ko lang ay artehan ang pagsasalita kahit minsan parang hindi okay sa tenga dahil pinoy english tayo pero napansin ko, laking taas ng score kapag medyo nilalagyan ang arte ang pag English. nakakadagdag ng points sa fluency. kung may mga sentence na medyo nakakautal, bagalan basahin para sure na walang mali kesa normal speed o mabilis nga, nagstutter ka naman, bawas points agad un.

Repeat Sentence - nahirapan din ako dito. sa totoo lang, wala yata akong naperfect sa repeat sentence kaya during exam naisip ko kailangan ko bumawi sa write from dictation para sa listening part. siguro ang tip ko lang, kapag tapos na ang time mo magsalita at alangan ka, move on na lang agad para focused na agad sa next. walang mangyayari kung iisipin mo pa ng iisipin na nagkamali ka.

DI at RL - template ni jimmyssem ginamit ko both. inartehan ko na lang din yung pagsasalita.

SWT - wala talaga akong template na sinunod dito. basta 20-30 words lang yung goal ko at maayos yung construction ng sentence. medyo hindi ako tiwala sa mga template na nakikita ko.

WE - ginamit ko ung essay structure ni Jay from E2 language. yung may 4 paragraphs, 200-300 words. Sobrang okay nito para sa akin dahil hindi na kailangan magmemorize ng template. yung structure na lang yung kailangan imemorize tapos macucustomize mo pa based sa topic na mabibigay sayo.

SST - 50-70 words, tapos ako lang din gumawa ng sentence consstruction. wala na akong sinunod na template kasi based sa experience ko sa mock exam, hindi consistent yung scoring kapag templated.

WFD - bilisan lang magtype, okay lang kahit may typo sa una or kahit kulang pa. balikan na lang after mo marining yung buong text. sinunod ko din yung tip ni jimmyssem na kapag hindi sure sa narinig, pwede mo ilagay kahit ilang words pa para sure na makuha mo yung points.

Diyan lang ako focused nung exam. yung ibang parts, practice lang sa APEuni. Kayang kaya kung prepared ka.

Salamat po!

Something that might help is to translate the passage in Tagalog. For example, kung ang question ay "She sat _ the table," kung ta-Tagalugin mas natural na malaman na yung buong sentence ay, "Umupo siya sa mesa". And then find the equivalent word in English. In this case, yung "sa" could either be in, at, on, for, or other propositions.

And also kung may time, skim mo yung buong passage para alam mo yung context. That will give you a good idea of the MESSAGE at mga salitang nababagay sa mensahe na gustong ipahayag ng passage.

Best of luck in your exam!

Salamat po

wala pa rin po akong results, nag take ako ng Jan 18.

Itatawag nyo na po ba sa hotline nila after 5 days?

Yes, max 5 days daw ang waiting. Kinabahan tuloy ako baka mababa score haha

Meron na po akong result nung Saturday pa po lumabas.
Itawag nyo na po agad bukas pag wala pa rin po today.

Thank you po. Lumabas na yung results ko today. Sa mga mag tatake po, template ni E2Language Jay and Jimmyssem sa youtube (hinati ko kasi skeptical ako nung una sa template ni Jimmy). Effective sya sa speaking (ito yung weakness ko sa DI and RL).

Sa reading po practice lang sa APEUni and Pearson Mocktest. Listening, nood ng english movies and kinig ng english news bago matulog and pag gising

Pwede malaman template mo sir?

Ito po sana makatulong

ayos itong template na shinare mo. Pero need ko pa improve scores ko. Mababa nakuha ko sa writing exam. (Summary in 1 sentence at essay), fill in the blanks listening etc.

Natakot ako sa WFD ni jimmysem na "hard" di naman pala ganon kahaba mga lumalabas. (siguro prepared lang din).

Effective and APEuni retell lecture at describe image/graph.

Hello po! How long did you study/review for PTE? Meron din akong APEuni VIP and curious ako kung mas mahirap ba talaga sya kaysa sa actual PTE?

I studied for about 3 months, pero yung 2 months is casual lang while the 1 month is intensive na—every day ang practice, every week ang mock test. I did my exam while waiting for my skills assessment result, so binase ko rin sya sa processing time nun (3 months minimum si VETASSESS).

Mas mahirap yung scoring ng APEUni VIP, in my experience. Pero I think that helps you prepare for the actual exam. Sa APEUni, never ako naka-90 ng isang area, pero sa actual naabot ko naman. Good luck!

shining_metapod · February 2023

Share ko lang PTE result ko and what I did to prepare.
Was not aiming for or expecting to get 90 since hindi ako very fluent mag salita and yung partner ko ang magiging main applicant for the visa.
I used APEUNI for about a month. Ang ginawa ko the first week is inalam ko lahat ng question types and nilista ko sa isang excel table lahat nung details at kailangan isaulo. For example, 50-70 words dapat sa SWT, etc. Alin ang malaking contributor sa score at hindi. I think this helped me a lot kasi napaka importante na kabisado mo ang test format para hindi ka mag panic. The next few weeks tinry ko lahat ng question type and inalam kung saan ako nahihirapan. 2 days before PTE na lang ako nakapag mock tests dahil nabusy sa buhay. Pero dahil kabisado ko na yung question types, oks na ako sa 3 mock tests. Pero kailangan pa rin talaga mag mock tests para familiar na ang actual PTE at para hindi magulat.
Lahat ng templates ko ay sa APEUNI. Minodify ko lang konti.
For DI and RL, gumamit lang ako ng template. Kailangan mag tiwala dito. Mahirap mag basa ng chart on the spot talaga.
For Essay, template. Inaral ko ito around 2 days din since medyo mahaba lol.

One important tip I can suggest is baguhin ang settings ng mic niyo. Gawin niyong Listen to this device. Not sure paano gawin sa MacOS. Pero yung goal is marinig niyo sarili niyo sa headphones. Ganon din kasi sa actual exam. And napaka laking tulong pala ng naririnig mo sarili mo kasi mas maccorrect mo ang intonations etc.

Yun lang. Good luck everyone!

I luckily got 90 in each band, pero super dami kong mistakes sa Speaking! Repeat Sentence at Answer Short Question yung super nahirapan ako dahil medyo mabilis magsalita, very unfamiliar yung words and ang hirap maintindihan kaagad dahil may accent yung speaker, and di ako masyado familiar sa context enough para manghula. Sa ASQ, ang hula ko ay ka-sounds like na lang, dinaan ko na lang sa confidence ng pagsagot. Haha! Still, I got a 90.

Reorder Sentence was also quite tough. Yung strategy from E2 was helpful sakin.

Pinakamadali for me yung writing kasi copy-paste lang ako from the actual text at paraphrase. Di ako nag-template. WFD was also easy kasi makikinig ka lang intently.
