For Practice, Read anything from Diverse sources. During Exam, you get the sentence u get 25
seconds untill u actually have to speak. In this time, READ that sentence alound and check which
words are difficult for you to pronounce. Try to reiterate them couple of times. Make mental note of
punctuation and flow of the sentence. So, when recording starts your are ready to rock and roll.

Close your eys, Listen with full concentration then repeat it with same intonation. Dont worry about
accent. Indians and Asians speak very fast. If you are from these background speak slower than ur
usual speaking spead.

Random Questions. If you dont know the answer,Say Something !

In speaking section, I think what matters the most is pronunciation and fluency. Accent definitely
doesn't matter as I spoke in Indian accent throughout the test and never tried speaking in British /
American accent. In fact, without realizing at first, I spoke on mute for two of the questions in
repeat sentence section and mostly spoke off topic for one of the "re-tell lecture" questions (because
I didn't understand anything from the lecture - but of course I did note down important words and
used them while "re-telling" the lecture). I definitely wasn't expecting anything above 75 but I
scored a full 90! Make sure you read the sentences the way British/American people do - there
should be a clear difference in your tone (high/low pitch, tempo) when you are reading a question
verses when you are reading a sentence which ends with a full stop. Tip - Relax and keep calm.
While speaking, I closed my eyes and imagined that I am speaking to a friend and not a computer.
This helped me with my fluency.

Reading: This was one of my weak links and I was very nervous about this section, since I got bad marks in my
practice test. But what I did before the exams, was that I went through all the guidelines in PTE academic test builder
book. I reckon it greatly helped, because I believe there is a very certain pattern that you need to follow. Most of the
words that needs to be chosen in "fill in the blanks" is already given in a sentence above or below it. There is a similar
pattern in the "rearrange the order" as well. I was a bit dubious in some parts, and some others were excellent. And
to top it all, time was a major factor that made my life a living hell, mainly since I didn't practice too
much. Expectations: 70-80 Results: 85 (MUCH WOW!)

In reading section, allot 10-11 minutes only for re-order paragraph


section. This is where people lose marks. Even though a certain order
looks correct, it may not be. Try different orders and see if any of them
makes sense. Don't forget to keep a watch on the remaining time and
number of questions left in the upper right hand side corner of your
screen. I wasn't watching the time and ended spending about 12-14
minutes on re-order paragraph section alone. I only had like a minute
to complete the last two fill in the blanks sections. I am really lucky
that I chose the right answers.

Listening and Writing sections are pretty straight forward. However, in "summarize spoken text"
under listening section and "write essay" under writing section, allot at least 5 minutes only to
review what you just wrote. Do not spend too much time thinking what to write or how to arrange
your sentences and paragraphs. Believe me, you will run out of time! Take just a minute or two to
think and then start writing whatever comes to your head. In the last 6-7 minutes, arrange/correct
your sentences, form paragraphs, review your answer for spelling, grammar and punctuation.

It is possible to pass laws that control or place limits on peoples behaviou

transgression so that crimes once committed are not repeated again.An
