Hi guys, sa mga recently naka superior English (79+ each), can anyone share yung mga templates na ginamit? I'm hesitant to use the templates that I have collected from different sources, baka outdated and doesn't work anymore. Yung mga naka take this January 2024 or even last month december po nana. Thank you

This is actually my retake for the nth time lol..kilala na ako ng mga taga MISNet..hahaha..laging proficient lng nabibitin ako ng 1-2 points sa reading so sa reading section ako nagfocus..and of course more mock test sa APEuni the better.
Wag nu intendihin yung score sa APEuni balikan nu lng yung mali sa reading and multiple choice..importante is to familiarize the flow ng exam..actually di ko parin maintindihan scoring ni PTE pero mas mataas siya magbigay ng points compared APEuni.
RFIB and RW:
Dahil dito ako nabibitin more on practice sa apeuni ng RFIB and RW. Mas madaming practice questiions the better. Based sa database ng reading ni APEuni around 999+ may mga questions dun na lumabas. I searched the key words on my past exam and confirmed kaya alam ko kung mali or tama sinagot ko...again practice is the key. Swerte lng sa last exam ko 2-3 questions ang alam kung nadaanan ko na and alam ko yung sagot so di ako nabitin sa time. I had more time sa multiple choice questions. Also yung tips ni jimmyssem about how to answer yung questions sa reading was a big help to eliminate yung hindi fit sa sagot..
Spend maximum of 2mins per question para di mabitin sa oras. In my experience reading talaga medyo bitin sa time.
Rearrange paragraph:
Focus on key words and practice sa apeuni and youtube videos (LA). More practice the better.
Templates:
Based on experience template works.
Essay - I used the essay template ni anusha. Triple check the spelling dito ka babawasan ng points and make sure 200-300 words lng.
Summarize written text - template ni Anusha dn gamit ko dont exceed 70 words. Walang nakalagay na limit sa exam pero may nabasa ako na you will get zero marks kapag sumobra. Triple check the spelling.
Retell lecture and Describe Image - I used language academy template. Practice a lot on APEuni mock test is also key.
I skipped the new trial questions yung mga group discussion and respond to a situation (not scored for Dec 2023 - Jan 2024). Since di nmn scored focus your mind on relevant questions. Yung new trial questions nasa speaking section siya sa last part.
Joined: Jan 27, 2023
Listening FIB and HIW:
More practice lng dn sa APEuni this is the easiest part I think pero make sure na tama yung spelling sa FIB section. Triple check the spelling.
Write from Dictation:
More practice APEuni or Youtube videos. You can add words if you are not sure i.e student, students, is, are, the, they...wala nmn negative marks for additional words. Triple check the spelling.

Nag-exam ako in December. Nareview ko naman maigi kaso may part ng speaking doon na wala sa ape uni kaya nagulat ako at nagpanic. Huhuhu. Yung may ibibigay na scenario tapos ano sasabihin mo for 2 mins ata yun, tapos may isa pa na isa-summarize mo yung conversationg ng 3 tatlo. May nakaexperience po ba sa inyo non?

Hi everyone, I just got superior scores in PTE today, thank God.
L-87 R-90 S-87 W-90
Thank you po sa lahat ng tips dito sa pinoyau, napakalaking tulong po.
I want to share some tips I used in my PTE exam.
Pray and consistently practice before taking the exam. (I subscribed to apeuni so I can constantly practice.)
Kailangan po talaga ang matinding concentration at focus sa exam.
Sa actual exam, nabulol ako twice yata yun.
Nawala din ako sa focus for few seconds sa Repeat Sentence.
I prepared around 2-3 weeks before taking the exam.
Pero yung last 2 weeks yung consistent tlga.
-Isang template lang po ang ginamit ko sa DI, RL, & SST, from Anusha
-It goes this way:
"The image/audio is mainly about ____. I also learned about ____. I also learned about ___. I also learned about ___. I also learned about ____. I also learned about ____. I also learned about ____."
-basta ang kailangan po ay uniform rhythm po sa pagsasalita,
-dapat same po yung speed ng pagsasalita all throughout
-Fluency is the key***
-Sa SST, naglista po ako at least 10 nouns from the lecture at yun po nilagay ko sa template.
Read Aloud
-I just used the chunking technique. Pag sobrang haba ng sentence, I divide them into 3 chunks.
Pag di masyadong mahaba, I read them in 2 chunks. Pag short sentence, 1 chunk lang, ibig sabihin walang pause.
-chunking means po slight pauses
-Basta maintain the speed and rhythm, that is what matters most po dito.
Example:
A recent study published in the open-access journal PLOS ONE // suggests that dog-assisted interventions can effectively reduce stress levels in children, //regardless of whether they have special needs or not.///The study, conducted by Kerstin Meints and colleagues from the University of Lincoln, UK, //measured salivary cortisol levels to determine the impact of these interventions.
Repeat Sentence
-from Nakul Gowda of PTE SKILL ACADEMIC youtube channel
-"Fluency is the king" po dito. Need po derederecho yung pagsasalita mo sa words.
-I did not aim to repeat 100% of the words, I aimed to say at least 60% FLUENTLY as much as possible.
-I intentionally skipped yung words na nahihirapan akong i-pronounce at yung mga di ko maintindihan.
Write From Dictation
-I write the first letters of the first three words,
-Then, for the rest of the words, I directly encoded the words on the computer screen but used shortcuts sa pagspell sa kanila since mabilis ang pagdictate.
-After which, I added the words from the ones I'd written on the notepad and then corrected their spelling.
Example:
The library offers study rooms, computer access, and research assistance services.
Sa notepad, I write: T l o s r
Then immediately sa computer screen: comp accs and rsrch asst srvcs
After, ita type ko na sa screen yung isinulat ko sa notepad:--> The library offers study rooms
Then, ire-rectify ko na yung spelling ng mga naitype ko na words sa screen:--> computer access and research services.
"The library offers study rooms, computer access, and research assistance services."
Fill in the Blanks - Listening
-first, type the words fast but used shortcuts first para mahabol, kasi mabilis ang speed ng nagsasalita
-I used rough spellings, like available becomes avlbl, property = prprty, evidence = evdnce
-basta make sure maiintindihan nyo yung tinype nyo na letters pag i--i-spell out nyo na later yung words
-When the audio has finished, that's the time I corrected the spelling,
and then I clicked next pag sure na ako sa spelling

The controversial topic concerning TOPIC/noun never fails to attract public attention. There has been a heated debate on whether TOPIC/noun can benefit our society. In this essay, I shall elaborate on my point of view by analyzing both sides of the argument before deducing a proper conclusion.
First of all, it is quite reasonable to believe that promoting TOPIC/noun provides several merits. The first point in regard to the issue is that the benefits of TOPIC/noun have contributed to the advancement of the subject. NOUN1 and NOUN2 (2 examples/nouns) would be convincing examples, to name but a few. As a result, TOPIC can be beneficial for both old and new generations across the world.
In contrast, it is commonly known that TOPIC can harm our communities. Nevertheless, this statement does hold water to some extent. Moreover, it should be pointed out that there are various concerns, such as NOUN1 and NOUN2 (2 examples/nouns). Furthermore, these examples can be significant factors that ought to be considered.
In conclusion, due to the aforementioned reasons, we may safely conclude that the positive impacts of TOPIC far outweigh the drawbacks. Therefore, I recommend keeping this trend in the future so that societies can take careful steps to mitigate potential problems.

Naka apat na po ako exam sa PTE.
My target is 79+ in all sections.
and so far, 3 out of 4 is 79+ lagi
I struggle sa Speaking and base sa skill profile is mababa ako sa Extended Speaking which include (Describe Image and Retell Lecture)
I followed every step/tips/tricks/fluency, I didn't stutter or hesitate while speaking. I got good marks in RA and RS also.
Nag official Mock ako and I got 90 in speaking (using JimmySsem DI RL Template, I also used other templates na rin)
It is so weird na sobra baba ko.
Meron ba kayo similar experience?
Any tips narin.
