INTER-RELATED PARTS IN PTE

Different from IELTS, PTE is structured with some parts assessing more than one skill. For example, Read Aloud is not only used to test your Speaking but also Reading skills.

  • PTE PARTS THAT AFFECT MORE THAN ONE SKILL ARE:

1.Speaking: Read Aloud; Repeat Sentence; Retell Lecture

2.Writing: summarize Written Text

3.Reading: Fill in Blanks (Drop-down box)

4.Listening: summarize Spoken Text; Write from Dictation; Fill in Blanks

 

  • BELOW IS FURTHER EXPLANATION FOR SOME OF THE “MORE THAN ONE SKILL ASSESSMENT ” PARTS IN PTE:

1.Read Aloud (RA): The RA section affects speaking and reading test scores. It is a simple task but contributes a lot of points to your results. To do this part well, you need to pay attention to 3 elements Fluency, Pronunciation and Content. If Fluency and Pronunciations are used to assess your speaking ability, Content is a factor for scoring reading skills.

2. Repeat Sentence (RS): The RS scores will be distributed to Speaking and Reading. This part requires the candidates to listen to the sentence repeat within 3 seconds after the “beep” sound. It would be essential to sharpen your listening skill by practicing from PTE question banks or listening to news on BBC, 9News… Moreover, you need to enhance your memory by trying to memorizing and repeating sentences in a short time.

3. Fill in the Blanks (FIB): There are three FIB parts the PTE test: FIB Listening, FIB Reading and FIB Reading and Writing. These parts are important because they affect more than one skill and contains numerous points. Each section usually has 4-5 sentences and each sentence has 4-5 points. To do these parts well, you need to pay attention to grammar and practice vocabulary.

4. Write From Dictation (WFD): Like the RS section, you will be assessed for listening but instead of checking the speaking part, you also must show the ability to write properly. You will be evaluated the Content (each correct word in both order and spelling will get 1 point).

By knowing this, you can optimize your time in practicing key parts for the best results. Surely with companions of SLS, you will gain more confidence to win PTE.
