TIPS ON HOW TO ACHIEVE A HIGH PTE MARK:

1. Fluency is your main priority in speaking module. Avoid taking long pauses while responding to the question. Mistakes in pronunciations here and there are acceptable, the exam just wants to make sure you can communicate your ideas clearly.

2. Work on your spelling: It is really important that you know how to spell your words correctly. Go through past exam questions and make sure you know how to spell all the words right from dictation and fill in the blanks questions.

3. Have a good understanding of English grammar: the PTE exam aims to test your understanding of basic grammar. The main areas to focus on would be using appropriate tenses, understanding passive voice and active voice, understanding subject and verb agreement.

4. Practice for your speaking test in a noisy environment: this will help you to gain knowledge of how many of your words the machine can pickup even in a noisy environment and will help you speak more clearly and confidently.

5. Time management in the writing section: don’t spend all your time writing your article/essay. It is essential to manage your time in such a way that you have time to review and proof-read your work before submitting.
