    __

    Sa Trident Makati po ako nagtake.

    For the:

    templates:

    DI & RL: I used Jimmyssem's technique (I used APEUni as my practice tool but its AI isn't the same as that of the actual PTE so if you're using it too, you might get lower scores, but it's okay. then, you may check Jimmyssem's here: )

    SWT: I used APEUni's = and , which means that , so

    ESSAY: I used APEUni's too (nowadays.. first & foremost .. additionally..)

    SST: I used APEUni's too but in past tense (emphasized, mentioned, believed..)

    mic placement: I took my time tlga to make myself comfy like okay ba ung upuan, ung keyboard if smooth ba ung pagclick, ung mouse, ung given pen and paper (if working perfectly), ung sitting position ko, since no timer naman ung first part which is basically reading instructions lang.

    for its placement, nagwork sakin ung 3 fingers away from the middle of my mouth and chin. (I'm semi-loud when speaking.) take note lng din na ung 1st window ng exam, dun mo maadjust ung volume na magfefeedback sayo. initially, nasa middle ung volume nya and super lakas. i adjusted it mga around 1-3 bars nung volume indicator and it worked well naman! once magnext ka na from the 1st window, di ka na pwede bumalik. so double check it lang rin :wink: I watched this also before taking my exam:

    i wanna share lang rin my score tracking using APEUni, to gauge lang rin pano ung scoring nya:

    i hope this helps :>

    Thank youu!! Oh noes, sorry. I should’ve made myself clearer. What I meant is kapag ginamit ung Jimmyssem’s template for DI & RL using APEuni app/website, mababa yung nakukuha tlga since magkaiba ung AI ni APEUni compared sa Pearson :smile: I didn’t use APEUni’s template for DI & RL tho. Don’t dwell nlng too much nlng siguro sa AI ni APEUni when it comes to DI & RL. Hehe.

    hello. sa ngayong 2023, sino padin ang recommended niyo na template at reviewer? apeuni lang or still e2 or jimmyssem? thank you

    Hi po. Thank you sa mga nagbbigay ng tips dito. Big help po. 🤗

    Now, I just want to give back naman po by sharing some info. I took PTE in Cebu last Monday. Self review through Youtube: Jimmysem, E2 and Language Academy. Then, subscribed to Ape Uni for a scored practice (share kami ni hubby sa iisang account)

    P.S. may lumabas po na samples si ape uni sa actual exam.

    REMINDERS ON THE EXAM DAY:

    1. present id and passport at the reception area
    2. remove accessories
    3. clear your pocket
    4. bring jacket
    5. turn off phone
    6. ask for 2 markers/ check your marker before starting the exam
    7. drink water and pee before starting the exam
    8. write down test category as ur guide, check once done answering
    9. always ready ur pen to jot notes
    10. don't get dstructed, Listen to your voice
    11. Keep track on time
    12. Memorize the templates
    13. Practice typing in an old school keyboard (dito ako nhirapan, tigas ng keys and mabagal mag display ng tinype)
    14. FOCUS
    15. PRESENCE OF MIND

    *markers dry out fast, put the caps right away after using.

    *practice with a background noise. meron po sa youtube "PTE exam center background noise." infairness, mas maingay pa pala ang actual. hehehe

    Good Luck!

    Hello guys, thank you for the tips. Still struggling with Speaking section. Here are my scores from the mock test so far.

    As you can see, pababa ng pababa score ko sa Speaking haha I'm really struggling with DI. On average, 50/90 lang score ko with this part so nahahatak nia ung Speaking section ko especially with the fluency part. I'm using Apeuni template although from the live class. Ang question ko lang is in between keywords ba, do I need to pause or do I need to treat it as a phrase? For example, "...It also provides information about the topic in different categories, such as , , , etc" or <..such as (walang pause?).

    Hello! Sa mga APEUNI users, kamusta paggamit nio? May trial kasi pinagagawa sa volunteers na read aloud and pinapacompare samin ung scores na nakukuha namin. and then i uupgrade nila ung version ko and need ko i compare ung scores na makukuha ko for the upgraded version vs sa current version. Hula ko lang iuupgrade nila yung app. Pero sa tingin niyo ba need pa nila i "upgrade" or oks naman na din yung current state?

    Definitely needs upgrading. Good way to test your skills pero dahil ang inconsistent pa rin ng scoring ni APEUni for Speaking, ang hirap ma-gauge if you're actually doing well enough. Shot in the dark ang naging experience ko, kaya I supplemented APEUni with the Pearson mock tests (kasi closer ang AI scoring nun to the actual exam) just to measure yung speaking performance ko.
