May mga tips sa youtube ng placement ng mic pero ang ginawa ko ay Tinapat ko lang sa bibig ko, pero hindi sobrang lapit. Tapos medyo malakas ng slight ang boses ko.

Just place it slightly below / above your mouth tapos with abouth 1-2inch distance. You will have the change to try and test it before the exam. Make sure di nakaka affect yung pag bigkas mo (boomy or too much air - baka makasama sa pag intindi ng AI). Important pakinggan mo sarili mo.

Hi Tanong ko lang po base sa experience nyo kung mg aavail kmi ng apeuni ng friend ko.
Puede po ba share ng account or hinde po puede?
Mas advisable ba na separate kmi ng avail ng vip?

Dont dwell too much sa result ng mock test, kahit ako rin ganyan. Mas lenient si PTE sa scoring. Got 20 points parin naman hehe. Check mo yung percentage breakdown ng kada area para alam mo alin may pinakamalaking % at kung san ka dapat magfocus lang. Like sa reading, MCS-R and MCM-R are almost 1-2% lang ng reading.

Hello po, sino po dito nagtake ng recent PTE? I didn't get my desired scores but I was confident I did great. I'm thinking maybe it's because of mic placement baka boomy or too much air nung speaking part. Any tips po? Salamat.

Open mo yung scores mo for each different type of exam. Makikita mo doon saan ka mababa.
Kung san ka mababa, focus ka don and pagaralan mo lahat yung test affecting that (check mo anong test test type na yun ang affected na score)

dun sa pdf mo na grades andon mga grades mo:
listening - below 79
writing - below 79
speaking - above 79
reading - above 79
let say ganyan grades mo, then focus ka sa listening and writing. Refer ka sa table na sinend ko. Yan table na yan naka list lahat ng weighted percentage ng items. Ika nga, targeted practice kung san ang weakness mo. Understand each exam type at gano kalaki ang effect sa overall score mo. Understand how each exam type is graded.
Let say Repeat sentence one of your weakness. Dont limit yourself with apeuni. Search ka ng ibang tips online sa youtube. Meron from jimmysem, moni etc. (Like maintindihan mo how it is scored, how to beat the AI etc)
