    Hello po, during your exam po ba nasagot niyo po lahat ng short questions sa speaking? Sobra mahalaga din po yun sa pagcontribute ng points tama po ba sa part ng listening?

    May question po ako, ang ASQ po ba ay malaki ang effect sa scoring when it comes to listening part po? TIA :smile:

    It is imperative to know all the exam types and corresponding points affecting your overall score fpr listening, writing and speaking.

    For asq = 5% lang

    Anybody here experienced some microphone issue with MISNET? At first palang talaga, doubtful na ako sa tunog nung microphone kasi hindi siya clear. Grounded yung sound, sabi naman ng administrator is okay lang yun. I've raised the issue and currently waiting for their response.. sana i-allow nila ang PTE retake.

    Nag take ako ng PTE recently pero ang weird kasi may 4 questions sa speaking module na hindi ko inexpect. Lumabas yon after ng ASQ. Yung first question parang situational siya. May ibibigay na situation tas need mo magsabi paano mo siya ihahandle or paano ka magrerespond. 2 items yung ganun. Then next naman parang Retell Lecture pero three speakers yung nagsasalita tas need i-summarize yung conversation nila. 2 items din 'to.

    Sure ako na PTE Academic yung tinake ko pero hindi ko inexpect yung questions kasi wala siya sa mock tests. Wala rin siya sa website ni Pearson pearsonpte.com/pte-academic/test-format/speaking-writing

    Feel ko hindi naman siya scored so I'm not too worried, although I need to send an email to Pearson just in case. I was caught off-guard lang pero buti na lang writing yung next na module so I had time to process it and calm myself down.

    Anyone here who had the same experience?

    I've read sa reddit that someone took their exam sa Misnet multiple times pero mababa ang speaking nya, then he tried ACE mataas nakuha nya.

    I also did the test sa ACE and got a good score for speaking

    If each band is 79+ then you already got superior, therefore 20pts claimable for english. EOI will autocompute also.

    I take my 2nd PTE exam last May 8, meron bago question sa Speaking section, pero sabi ni Nakul hindi scored yun sa ngayon.

    Respond to situation and Discussion

    ginamit ko yung template ng Retell Lecture sa bago question at alam ko random lalabas yun sa speaking section. Nakuha ko naman Superior this time, Thank you Lord.

    Hi everyone po. New member here that's aspiring to get 79+ on all subset also. I've done IELTS Academic few weeks ago and got an overall 7.0 band and with my scores especially the writing, I'm afraid the 8.0 needed for superior scote is a leap. Beginning phase po ako ng review. I've compiled your suggestions and so far it has helped me in my mock individual test kay APEUni.

    I have questions tho that maybe you can help me out.

    1. What do you think about 9.0 Niner PTE review? Has anyone enrolled here on their 1on1 coaching and AI Mock dashboard? What's your feedback? Is it worth it? I'm about to avail their package because I had fairly good experience with them with IELTS (but local enrollment).

    2. FB group discussions also recommend APEUni tlga for Mock with AI scoring. I find some scoring from the free exams odd. Tried speaking components first. Sa RA, I'm trying the journalists flow and tried to neutralize my accent. JimmySSems DI&RL are just getting me 60+ scores. Is this a common occurrence or may diskarte po dito?

    3. If meron po sa inyo that still has their APEUni subscription that I can buy cheaper, bilin ko po sana?

    Thank you po.☺️

    Hi! Is this for general skilled migration purpose? I am reposting 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.

    Hi. Thank you for the response. For immigration po. Trying to get a good score for PR. I've saved these images and studied it na po also.ty. Still getting familiarized sa diskarte each subset but focusing those on the red and orange part. There's a nice kababayan also here na nagshare ng GSheet ng reviewer nya so I was introduced by JimmySSem's template din.

    For those who used Jimmyssem's templates, from the last 3 months, how was your grades? Anong part yung proven pa na maganda score considering kung maganda din fluency?

Sa RA, I'm trying the journalists flow and tried to neutralize my accent. JimmySSems DI&RL are just getting me 60+ scores. Is this a common occurrence or may diskarte po dito?

    3. If meron po sa inyo that still has their APEUni subscription that I can buy cheaper, bilin ko po sana?

    Thank you po.☺️

    Hi! Is this for general skilled migration purpose? I am reposting 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.

    This is a template used by some, pero mukhang effective naman:

    Hi. Thank you for the response. For immigration po. Trying to get a good score for PR. I've saved these images and studied it na po also.ty. Still getting familiarized sa diskarte each subset but focusing those on the red and orange part. There's a nice kababayan also here na nagshare ng GSheet ng reviewer nya so I was introduced by JimmySSem's template din.

    For those who used Jimmyssem's templates, from the last 3 months, how was your grades? Anong part yung proven pa na maganda score considering kung maganda din fluency?

    I got 90 sa speaking using Jimmyssem's DI and RL templates. Took the PTE two weeks ago.

    Hi everyone po. New member here that's aspiring to get 79+ on all subset also. I've done IELTS Academic few weeks ago and got an overall 7.0 band and with my scores especially the writing, I'm afraid the 8.0 needed for superior scote is a leap. Beginning phase po ako ng review. I've compiled your suggestions and so far it has helped me in my mock individual test kay APEUni.

    I have questions tho that maybe you can help me out.

    I got 90 sa speaking using Jimmyssem's DI and RL templates. Took the PTE two weeks ago.

    Did you had to reword or paraphrase po yung template ni jimmyssem? How about in other parts na need ng templates? I reviewed the image given above by mathilde9 and saving it pra compare ko kung ano yung mas madali kong mapractice and utilize for exam. The thing about Jimmy's sa DI and RL, isang template n lng kaya ok din. Let's you to focus on other part sabi nga nya.

    Btw, I got the GSheet from ur previous pala.hehe.

    The catch with PTE templates really depend on the test taker's learning style. Some of us will benefit using Jimmysemm since it's structured and wala ka nang iisipin masyado. Again, it provides you with WHAT to say/write. Sasabihin mo nalang with added keywords. His template is good for those with broken english. No judgement, that's how I find it.

    Pero tayong pinoy na lumaki naman with proper textbook english foundation, and kung susuriin mo mabuti yung mga question, may method talaga. I recommend E2 language since the instructor there tells us HOW to do each PTE task.

    Malaki ang difference nung kay jimmysemm vs other templates. Minsan mali mali pa yung grammar nya. I'm not saying it doesn't work for all. I too used his template during my first attempt and only got proficient.

    Sa RL, pag may heavy accent and monotone speaker, magwwork template nya lalo na kung wala ka na talagang naintindihan sa buong lecture.

    *Previous post: Did you have...😅

    When I was browsing PTE's website, it is also the E2 lecturer ang nakapost for one of their introduction so my guess is that they really know what theyre saying kaya nagwatch n rin ako ng few video lectures from E2 PTE.

    I totally agree na it depends nga tlga sa learning style ng test taker and that's what I also want to learn from you guys and your feedbacks, mas naiimagine ko kung paano gagawin ko rin na adjustment for mine. Thanks a lot.

    With Jimmyssem's, I think I'll just take an inspiration from his templates.

    You've given me the templates, which ones have you used there na you think has gotten you a superior score this time?

    Also, may nabasa ako sa isang fb group na mock tests of APEUni has given them 70+ score but still failed the exams. Well, technically ndi ganun tlga accurate yun and might have different scoring criteria from PTE, question... What was your basis that you think you're good enough to take the PTE and feel niyo kaya niyo yung 79+ score? Is there such a circumstance na nafeel niyo na ay "Im confident, kaya ko na to with flying colors!"?

    May band talaga na consistent yung score mo eh. Like for me, okay ang Read Aloud and other speaking tasks althroughout. Yung bands na kinapos ako ng score talaga yung nagfocus ako like writing and reading (reorder paragraphs).
    This is for those who had to retake haha! May mga idol kasi na 1 take lang superior agad.

    Ang basis ko eh, wala. Haha sugod agad after magreview and 1 mock test. Chs. You'll never know until you try eh. Iba din exam set during the actual test date and iba environment while only reviewing vs in the test room na may other noise and legit kaba. Do your best and dasal lang talaga haha.

    Siguro when not to take yet, kapag maski exam format and sequence wala kang idea.
