- Have a notepad available for jotting down key points
Tips & Strategies
Practical, section-by-section guidance for the PTE Academic exam
Read Aloud
- Speak at a natural, steady pace — not rushed, not hesitant
- A pause longer than 3 seconds will end your recording
- Stress content words (nouns, verbs, adjectives) and reduce unstressed function words
- Use falling intonation at sentence ends and rising intonation for lists
- Read academic articles or news aloud daily as practice
Repeat Sentence
- Listen for the rhythm and stress pattern — not just individual words
- If you miss a word, keep going — silence gaps harm your fluency score more
- Prioritise the beginning and end of the sentence
- Practise shadowing: repeat immediately while hearing, then from memory
- RS carries significant weight in both Speaking and Listening scores
Describe Image
- Follow a fixed structure: Introduction, key data, trend or comparison, conclusion
- Always identify and state the highest and lowest values
- Use precise comparative language: higher than, significantly more, the majority
- For pie charts: state the largest segment first, then contrast with smallest
- Speak for the full 40 seconds — silence directly reduces fluency score
Answer Short Question
- One or two words is all that is required — full sentences are unnecessary
- Common topics: science, general knowledge, occupations, geography, everyday objects
- Answer immediately after the prompt — hesitation is penalised
- A confident, short guess is better than silence
Summarize Written Text
- Write exactly one sentence — this criterion is strictly scored
- Keep it between 5 and 75 words
- Template: [Main subject] + [main verb] + [key point], [key point], and [key point]
- Do not include personal opinion — summarise only what is in the passage
- Check subject-verb agreement and tense consistency before submitting
Write Essay
- Target 250–270 words — the minimum is 200, maximum 300
- Structure: Introduction, Body paragraph 1, Body paragraph 2, Conclusion
- State your position clearly in the introduction and restate it in the conclusion
- Use formal academic register — avoid contractions and colloquial language
- Reserve 2–3 minutes at the end to proofread spelling and grammar
Re-order Paragraphs
- The opening sentence introduces a topic without referring to pronouns (it, they, this)
- Look for discourse connectors: however, furthermore, in addition, consequently, finally
- Pronoun references (it, they, this) must follow what they refer to
- Concluding sentences typically contain: overall, in conclusion, therefore, thus
Fill in the Blanks
- Read the entire sentence before selecting a word
- Confirm grammatical compatibility: is the blank a noun, verb, adjective, or adverb?
- Identify collocations — words that commonly appear together in academic writing
- Eliminate grammatically incompatible options first, then choose by meaning
- The word bank includes distractors — not every word will be used
Multiple Choice
- Read the question before scanning the passage for relevant information
- Eliminate clearly incorrect options first to narrow your choice
- For MCQ Multiple Answer, incorrect selections cancel correct ones — be selective
- Avoid answers that simply repeat words from the passage without meaning match
Write from Dictation
- WFD carries the highest individual mark weight in the Listening section
- Focus first on content words: nouns, main verbs, adjectives
- Use shorthand or initials while listening, then expand during typing
- Spelling matters — common errors include: their/there, affect/effect, its/it's
- Every correct word earns a point — attempt all words, even if uncertain
Highlight Incorrect Words
- Read the full transcript carefully before the audio begins
- Click as soon as you detect a discrepancy — trust your first instinct
- Typically 2–7 words differ from the spoken audio
- Incorrect clicks deduct marks — only select words you are confident about
Summarize Spoken Text
- Take notes throughout the audio using abbreviations and key phrases
- Write between 50 and 70 words — check your count before submitting
- Include the main idea and two to three supporting details
- Use academic vocabulary to strengthen your vocabulary score
- Ten minutes is sufficient — do not overwrite or over-edit
