• Writing: 

Writing test for PTE is fairly easier compared to that in IELTS. You don’t need to have so many writing tests to pass. Just using 4-8 tests or all that you have available from PTE website or books, nothing special. Just find a tactic for one sentence summaries, and try to read tips for weird question types. Other than that writing isn’t a big deal. Try to focus on your grammar and how well you covered the idea in questions.

 

• Reading:

You will need to do a lot of reading when studying. At least try to practise 8-15 test before the exam so you get used to the feeling of timing correctly. Otherwise you may run into the risk of having so many questions left in a very small amount of time.Try to understand as much as possible while doing that.

 

• Listening:This is an easy part of PTE. For writing from dictation, don’t worry if you don’t remember or understand every word. Many PTE test-takers may miss some words or clauses on exam but still get 90. Work on your note taking skills.

 

• Speaking:In general, this was the most difficult one. Work and practise very continuously for one week only for Speaking as this is the one that is most challenge, especially if your accent is not programmed or recognised by PTE algorithm.

 

• How to handle Graphs/ Charts in PTE:

Open google, search for all type charts available on Google and practice by explaining them as much as possible. Do 100s of charts if possible and explain them to yourself before taking PTE Exam.

 

Important things: 1- Speak slowly, you don’t need to tell everything, make sure you are fluent, and thats it. You still scored 90 even if you missed some word or points.

 

2) Tell the main point by using chart headlines, Tell the years, Tell the max and its number/year, If you still have time talk about some trend etc. – Keep checking your time and adjust you speed.

 

3) Yes there are noises from other speakers, but if you concentrate it’s nothing. Especially, if they speak very loud, don’t start to speak louder. Keep your voice calm, which will calm you. Just try to speak like it’s nothing.

 

 

4) Don’t try to remember every word in repeat sentence. Only key ones enough.

 

5)  Don’t write every work in re tell lecture. Key points are more than enough .Your pace and clearity is more important.

 

6) Don’t forget to work on pictures as you may have them in the exam.

 

7) Don’t forget process maps. Even if you completely misunderstood the process but still try to talk in a confident manner.
