you can do it bro. May i know how much time did you alot for the preparation with this current score? If you did not push yourself well enough at feeling lucky lang to study for few hours, it will not do the trick.
You need to drop everything. Yung score mo is not the montik type na may isang mababa at sumabit lang. You need to know:
1. all the sequences of the test types
2. how each exam type is being graded
3. what exam types are your weakness?
4. what have you done so far?
ito ginawa ko to get superior:
1. watch all apeuni videos and understand by heart.
2. download ape uni apps - print the different exam types / sequence
3. for item 2 - study each exam type 1 by 1
4. do trials for each exam types, and feel where is your weakness. (my weekness was doing the essays and re-arranging paragraphs), i am also weak in doing repeat sentences and describe images but the templates of apeuni helped alot.
I also watched a few jimmsem vids. It took me 2 tries also. You can do it. Sorry tough love but it is what it is.

Tips naman po jan sa Writing lalo sa SST, SWT, Essay and lahat ba ng WFD question nyo nag add kayo ng extra word?
Joined: Feb 28, 2024
I just finished the test and nakakapagtaka lang ksi sa speaking ako kinakabahan pero surprisingly sa listening pa di umabot score ko. May idea po ba kayo about sa process on rechecking and how much? And malaki po ba chances na madagdagan score sa listening pag nagparecheck? Thanks in advance

Iretake mo nalang and focus more on that low score. If listening yung mababa, most likely sa WFD yan. Malaki hatak ng WFD sa score, someone shared a table here how each test weighs in your overall score. Check mo.

For writing:
*make sure to listen to the recording na you would fully understand yung context para mas madali mag-compose ng sentences, not just inserting keywords.
GOOD LUCK!

I appreciate your reply. But I am sure that I got each sentences exactly as it was for WFD. Kaya nagtataka talaga ko bakit naging 78 lang ang listening ko eh hindi nman ako nahirapan sa listening. may idea po ba kayo if pwede magparescore sa listening or speaking and writing lang ang narerescore?

Mukhang may certain tests lang ang pwede irescore. Procedure and fees are here as well:

Wala akong maalala dito sa forum na nagparescore ng PTE. I just remembered someone whose score fell short of 1pt for superior, nag retake siya. Goodluck.

it may not be WFD. There are alot more with listening:
meron sila nung mag summarize ka after a lecture etc.
https://www.pearsonpte.com/pte-academic/test-format/listening
review each types and try to remember where did u struggle. Do few APEUNI trials/reviews within the app. HTH.

Try to backread hanggang simula, wala pa yata nagpost na nagparescore or kung meron wala pa nagpost dito na successful. try looking other forums if duda ka pa kung may naging successful sa rescore.
imho, its not worth it, dahil may fee rin. some of us had that kind of scenario before, better option was to retake at hindi lang WFD ang possibleng factor jan.

FYR - some guide and cheatsheet from previous posts here:
REDS are the ones with highest contributions on your overall score. This is from an individual contributor.
While this one is from APEUni I think.

I would prefer the Testing center in Cuppage.
Mas maganda kasi malaki ang lugar. May space sa L1 lobby to sit and self-study. Tapos you can go up to the testing center floor when ready.
The computers are spaced well and the room is 2x bigger than RELC. Shempre bias ako i got my superior from Cuppage hehehe. First take was in RELC..

Download apeuni app on your phone. Theres tons of read aloud reviewers.
The trick for read aloud is to read each word as crisp and audible as possible. Di kailangan super bilis, di kailangan na yung diction mo is amerixan or au. Just read the words, dont add or omit words and you are fine.
This is the beauty of doing PTE vs IELTS. Kung sa ielts yan bababa pa marks mo.

Yes tama si @Conboyboy madami resources sa APEUNI , i personally like RA part - once makuha mo yung flow ,no hesitation at tone na hindi ka parang naghahabol , do not pause if not needed sa pagbabasa, na parang nahahawig na sa mga reporter sa TV . I can send you one recording i did with APEUNI if gusto mo ,so you can have a comparison bahaha.
