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

September 05, 2020

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

June 16, 2017

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. Second, they connect scientists to the general _____ (4) ______, offerin...

Cracking the PTE Academic in 2 weeks time

June 10, 2017

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. ...

LAST MINUTE TIPS for the PTE Academic test of English language

June 20, 2017

Last minute tips for the PTE Academic test Just few hours left for your PTE Academic? Not sure on what to do in order to get a 79+ score.... For sure y ou cannot afford to make more than 2 mistakes per section if you are eyeing a 79+ score out of 90 in each of the Speaking, Reading, Writing and Listening sections. Here are the other important things that you need to remember during the test to score well: There will be 10-12 people taking up the exam in a not-so-big room. So be prepared for distractions, especially during the ‘Speaking’ section. Make sure you speak out loud and clear while attempting the questions from the ‘Speaking’ section. If you are a soft-spoken person, I am afraid you’ll be required to raise your voice to some extent. Else your computer’s microphone would not be able to pick your voice clearly. People from various all age-groups take up the PTE, so do not get demoralized. No one would be competing against you as far as the PTE is con...

PTE Speaking -- DESCRIBE IMAGE -- Scoring Technique

June 10, 2017

PTE Speaking -- Describe Image -- Scoring Technique You will see a diagram/pie-chart/bar-graph/map etc for 25 seconds. The trick is to understand the image and speak selectively about it within 40 seconds. Be selective. You are not supposed to speak all that you see in 40 seconds. Pick a few key things to speak about, and leave out the rest. Speak clearly and at a decent pace. Start with describing the heading/subject in one sentence. It would easily take up 4 to 5 seconds if you just rephrase the title at the top of every question. Include what the x-axis and the y-axis represent if it is a bar graph or a line graph. Highlight 4 to 5 major points from the image which are relevant and clear, one after the other. This should easily take the next 20-22 seconds. At last, conclude your speech within another 5 seconds. Try to finish by the 37th or 38th second and stop before their timer actually stops (exactly 40 seconds). Even if you s...
