<blockquote rel="jedh_g">For PTE test takers @wingleaf & @twiti_tin here is my pay back time for you:
HOW TO PREPARE FOR PTE EXAM TIPS IN A NUTSHELL:
It is important to know the TEST FORMAT.
Prepare for at least 8-10 weeks.
PRACTICE, until you had covered all types of test daily.
LISTEN to BBC & CNN News Reports daily.
Prepare a written working TEMPLATE for DESCRIBE IMAGE & RE-TELL LECTURE.
If you had taken IELTS test before, WRITING essay part shall be of advantage.
Know set of words daily and write it down in your notebook to widen VOCABULARY.
LISTEN to podcasts, British Council's downloadable apps to familiarize diction etc.
TEST FORMAT TIPS:
Part I (Speaking & Writing)
READ ALOUD (6-7 items)
Read loudly and stop for "periods", pause for "commas" and put emphasis on focus words.
Before starting the test proper, ensure that your headset is positioned well and that your
microphone is at least slightly below your mouth so as not to capture air gap in breathing.
SMILE. One thing I did was, I conditioned myself in a happy mode while speaking. It helped
as my voice sounds very natural and relaxed yet audible.
REPEAT SENTENCE (12 items)
DESCRIBE IMAGE (6-7 items)
Use the powerful TEMPLATE like this format in mind:
1 - The chart describes the <Title re-phrasing> covering <year started, year finished>
(If source of the data was given, please mention)
2 - The highest rate/volume/incident of <Title> was at <quantity, volume, etc> whereas
3 - The lowest.... <follow same format above>
4 - In summary, this chart is concise and accurate and could be used as reference or basis
for future studies following the same objective OR
The chart was impressive and interesting because it has analysis that can be utilized
by educators or students / government legislators
RE-TELL LECTURE (3-4 items)
Get your pen and write what you have heard.
Write as much as you can hear from the speaker but write in shortcut key words.
Follow the structures essay format as you type the summary.
ANSWER SHORT QUESTIONS (12 items)
- * I will send a set of questions; as these are practical yet some are tricky logical questions
SUMMARIZE WRITTEN TEXT (3 items)
WRITE ESSAY (1 or 2 essay)
- Follow IELTS 3,7,7,3 Format
I shall post next section, PART II on my next post.</blockquote>
