Hello @jlureta. I just booked my exam din and na ignore ko yung kailangan pala maglagay ng middle name dun sa first name/given name. Next month pa namn yung date ng exam ko,last week of feb, mg rereflect pa ba yung changes ng details ko dun sa na book ko na exam?. Nag update details na ako and 2-5 working days daw. Anyway sa PH pala yung test center ko.

Yes, magrreflect na yan. You have ample time. Verify mo din online before ka pumunta sa test center. Goodluck!

Hello po. Usuall> @mathilde9 said:
Hello @mathilde9, san ko po sya ma verify?. Bale yung account name po mismo, may middle name na?...usually po ba pag nag book ng exam may waiting period pa bago mag reflect yung payment sa order?. Hehe mdyo na worry lng ako, hindi pa po kasi ng email ng receipt sa akin si PTE, then na deduct na po sa account ko yung payment.

Tama yung sinabi nila dito, masasayang oras mo. Also sa ACE, kung dun ka nakabook, okay naman headphones nila. Noong nagtake ako last November, bago mga earcuff nung headphone and hindi sobrang ingay. Need mo lang din divert yung attention mo away sa other noise and focus sa exam.

Nag-email pa rin ako sa kanila right after ako sabihan ng test proctor na wala akong middlename. Nag-email na ako bago ako pumasok sa test room.
After 2days narelease na yung test results ko with updated middlename and same with my PTE account, may middlename na din.
Yung test result ko dati, after 1hour may results na eh. Pero nung time na may pa-update ako ng name, medyo natagalan lang ng kaunti yung results.

Hi All,
I took the exam last February 3 sa Misnet and got the results today. This is not the result that I was expecting pero ganun talaga, I will retake nalang once nakuha ko na yung assesment from ACS.
Experience ko, I was too confident right after the exam that I will get superior score, pero di pala. I used Jimmyssem's and Anusha's template btw. Thanks to everyone who have been been sharing their resources here, it was a big help considering that I only reviewed intermittently for less than a week.

Hello, ano yung template na ginamit mo particularly? Describe image / Retell Lecture / Write Essay.. etc

Hello!
Sa WE, DI, and RL - JimmySsem ginamit ko. Mababa yung WE ko for some unknown reasons, mga nakausap ko puro 90 sa WE using the same template. Make sure to double check your spelling, grammar, spacing etc. Yung mga full stop and comma big factor din. Utilize your time (yung mga overlap ko now ko lang na rerealize)
Yung DI and RL - medyo mababa extended speaking ko using his template. Yung wife ko ginamit nya Anusha which is almost full bar sya sa extended speaking. I think napasobra bilis lang pagsasalita ko sa part na to.
Tip: maintain fluency, tsaka yung speed ng pagsasalita mo. Though overall ok naman speaking score ko.
SST - I used Anusha's
SWT - Albeit, but, therefore. Template, copy paste lang
sa Reading overall - wala akong nireview, purely understanding lang. Dito ako natamaan, yung FIB-RW medyo confusing since at least 2 of the choices are almost identical. Review mo din RO. I cannot recommend any reviewer yet since mababa score ko dito.
RS - Fluency is the key, at least 50 to 60% word lang ok na basta fluent. ( Check Nakul sa youtube)
RA- Read naturally lang
Hope it helps.
