PTE/IELTS Writing -- WRITE ESSAY -- Scoring Technique

PTE/IELTS Writing -- Write Essay -- Scoring Technique

Essay writing is a difficult task even for native English speakers. Your essay has to be within the word-limit (200 to 300 words). You should try to finish off framing your essay within 15 minutes, instead of the allocated time of 20 minutes. Keeping 5 minutes for a detailed review really helps. You cannot afford to make spelling mistakes. Focus on sentence formation and try to frame mid-sized sentences. It should neither be too short (lack of information) nor be too long (complicated or more error-prone).

  • Three normal sentences roughly consists of 45 words. You need to have approx. 15 sentences in an essay so that the overall word-count reaches 225 words (sufficient).
  • Finalize the 2 sides of the argument as per the essay topic –- Side 1 (Advantages) and Side 2 (Disadvantages).
  • Start the 1st paragraph of your essay with 2-3 general sentences about the topic.
  • Choose between Side 1 and Side 2, support your choice with 5-6 points/reasons.
  • Explain each one of the above points in at least 2 sentences and split the write-up into 2 more paragraphs, so that your response looks neat and clean.
  • Conclude in 2 sentences – 4th paragraph. Clearly state the side which you think is more appropriate.
  • Add extra sentences whenever required. You must give 5 minutes for revising your essay.
  • Stay away from complex words if you are not sure about their usage, and keep it simple.

Getting top scores in PTE or IELTS in the 1st attempt itself

Image
Hi Everyone!! I thought of sharing my experience at a high level on how I managed to obtain a so-called ‘superior’ score (79+ each) in the  Pearson Academic Test of English (PTE) . English language tests have been a nightmare and a decider for many visa aspirants who wish to fulfil their dreams of living, studying or working in Australia/NZ.  I was never someone who had participated in a lot of debates during my school and college days, and so I knew that the biggest challenge for me was to do well in the Speaking section. My PTE score (one and only attempt) 90, 90, 81 and 81 out of 90 each in Listening, Speaking, Reading and Writing sections respectively. My overall score of 86 out of 90 in PTE is equivalent to getting the highest band score of 9 in IELTS. Appeared for the PTE Academic on the 15 th  of March 2017. Why PTE? PTE is getting popular especially among people who intend to migrate to Australia from other countries. Intended...

PTE Reading -- FILL IN THE BLANKS -- Scoring Technique

PTE Reading – Fill in the Blanks - Scoring Technique This is one of the easiest topics to score in relatively much lesser time in the PTE Academic. You will be given a paragraph comprising of 3-5 sentences approximately with a few missing words, generally 4-5 in number. Few words will be placed at the bottom of the screen inside separate boxes and all you are supposed to do is to drag and drop correct words to correct place in the paragraph. The number of words provided for you to respond (6-8) would generally be more in number just to create some confusion. Ensure you fill in all the blanks as there is no negative time for this type of question. Sample Paragraph : Science blogs serves a dual purpose. First, they connect scientists to each other, _____ (1) ______ as modern day intellectual salons. Even _____ (2) ______ scientific papers are now beginning to _____ (3) ______ blogs as references.

Cracking the PTE Academic in 2 weeks time

Cracking the PTE Academic in 2 weeks time If you have 2 weeks time for your next PTE exam and if you can devote approximately 4 hrs per day for the preparation, we would suggest you to start reading a novel (300-400 pages) online on your area of interest. You need to read it aloud -- line by line and page by page. This will help you to tackle questions from the  Speaking/Reading  sections.  1.       Use  https://dictation.io/  to check if the spelling of the speech-converted-text is exactly as it should be. This is the best way to improve your pronunciation. 2.       After finishing a chapter, make sure you write the summary of it in less than 300 words before starting the next chapter. Do take the help of a dictionary and prepare a document containing all the unfamiliar words and their meanings, page-wise, by typing everything on your own (for the  Writing  section). 3. ...
