- Speaking Mistakes : Scoring
90 in Speaking made easy!
A lot of test
takers believe that to score 90 marks in PTE Speaking, the right information
and content are necessary! You will be amazed to know that it is NOT so! The
content in questions such as Describe Image (DI) and Retell lecture (RL) is
important BUT the 90 scores are achieved just be being 100% fluent in your
Speaking Module, also known as Oral Fluency. You do not need to worry about
scoring 90 in speaking as long as your answer is very fluent. You also do not
need to worry on the pronunciation part. Both content and pronunciation are
less important than FLUENCY. Oral Fluency is the main judging criterion for
marking you in PTE test. Another thing to note here is that the scores for
content in Retell Lecture (RL) go to the Listening section. That is why, very
smartly with the help of this tip, you will be able to score 90 in Speaking and
we will talk about scoring 90 in Listening, later in this section.
- Writing Mistakes : Scoring 90
in Writing made easy!
Writing is
another main concern for many test takers. Think about the green and red lines
you get while you type on a word document. The software of PTE works in a
similar fashion while giving you scores in Writing module. It is highly
recommended that you should not make any grammar or spelling mistakes in all
the writing answers. Each error contributes to a lower score and a flawless
answer will contribute to a higher score. Of course! A few mistakes are ignoble as this software is designed for Human Beings. If Writing an essay is
a challenge for you then try using a template for the same so that with
continuous practice you will start making lesser grammar and spelling errors.
This way scoring 90 in writing will become a very easy task or you. Pay very
close attention to Write from Dictation (WFD). It is also a very important
question to ace in your writing module.
- Reading Mistakes : Scoring 90
in Reading made easy!
Students often
believe that MCQ(Multiple Choice Questions) are the most important ones,
however, you will be amazed to know that MCQs have the lowest marks, so, even
if you are able to score 1 correct in each MCQ then also you can score 90 marks
in a Reading module. Also, note that MCQ(Multiple Answers) give you negative
marks for each incorrect answer, so very smartly you either choose 1 answer or
3 answers so that you do not get any negative scores. Another tricky question
is Reorder Paragraphs; here also, if you concentrate on pairs instead of
putting the whole conversation in order, you can easily score 90. You should
know that you will be awarded scores for pairs, not the whole conversation. So,
if you start focusing your attention towards the right strategy, nothing can
stop you from scoring 90 in PTE.
- Listening
Mistakes : Scoring 90 in Listening made easy!
Scoring 90 in
Listening is quite an easy task. Just make sure that you are taking notes of
all the audios that you hear and then try to match those with the options
available. Make sure to spend only 1.5 minutes per question otherwise you might
not be able to complete your exam because the last question Write From
Dictation (WFD) gives you 1 point for 1 correct word, that is why it is
essential that you must listen carefully and write down each word, considering
that it is the most scoring question of all. Do you sometimes get confused
between some words in WFD, here is an easy solution, you can write extra words
in WFD as there is no negative marking for the wrong words. For example, if you
are confused between “there and there”, then you can write both of the words
without getting worried and you will score 1 point for the correct word.
Remember it is just an ENGLISH test. Do not be worried about it! Avoiding silly mistakes will make it easy to score 90!
Best of Luck!
