Hi



Should I attempt PTE again and try for 79 in each module? I can do it as I hardly prepared for it(3 days) and screwed some of repeat sentence and short question. It can take my points tally to 80 if that helps.







-------

Points: 70

Application - Skill Assessment 19th Oct 2016 - ANZSCO - 261312

+ve Assessment- 21st Oct 2016

PTE - 26th Nov - 73 overall (L-71,R-82,S-68,W-79)

EOI - Filling- 29th Nov 2016

Why do you want to apply with 80? 70 points are good enough to get you a call.

Gave my practice test and got below scores
L - 70
S - 67
R - 66
W - 69

Enabling scores are
Grammer - 67
OF - 66
PRON - 59
Spell - 38
Vocabulary - 60
WD - 47

I'm targeting for 79. Can any one suggest me improvement areas? I gave the test without any prep only saw few sample questions. Also did not use any headset just used the in built microphone in Mac would that make any difference in oral frequency and pronounciation as I was bit far from microphone?

And for God's sake don't try to summarise the trend in "describe image" if you don't think in english - there is just not enough time. It's a stupid method for non-english speakers. You will mess up your grammar.

I would like to differ on this one PTE practice test plus itself says - Think of any implications of the information. or any conclusions that can be drawn.

Can you share the tips and techniques for memory power to be used in repeat sentence with me as well?

I am trying to picturise the question prompts in PTE exam so that i dont waste time in analysing the question. I have a confusion, how do the question prompt look like? Is it like the one's in PTE practice tests plus book or is it like scored mocked tests?

 

[desisingh]

My PTE is on Monday 27 Feb. I am planning to take scored Mock Test A again. I have already given it once. If i do the purchase again will it be the same test which i have already given or it will be different?

 

[desisingh]

It might be the same one but I am not sure....

Have you done the Mock TEst B?

Yes have tried both A and B. Any other suggestions anyone?

 

[desisingh]

I am pretty much disappointed at my second attempt at mock test A. I did not see much improvement except the speaking section. Below are my scores in 2 attempts at mock test A:

1st attempt:
L - 70
S - 67
R - 66
W - 69

Enabling scores are
Grammer - 67
OF - 66
PRON - 59
Spell - 38
Vocabulary - 60
WD - 47

2nd Attempt:
L - 73
S - 80
R - 71
W - 68

Enabling scores are
Grammer - 67
OF - 66
PRON - 84
Spell - 38
Vocabulary - 72
WD - 47

Clearly i am lacking in reading and writing for 79+. My exam is on 27 Feb. Any tips where i can improve and what i can focus on the last day tomorrow?

 

[desisingh]

Hi I was also thinking of buying another pte scored test as I have already done it once before. Are the scored practice test same or they different?
Thanks

They are same. You can try creating another account and then buy a new package that might be different.

 

[desisingh]

ok thank you Some people say Mock test B is useless because it is easier than mock test A. Is it true?? Cos I scored well in mock Test B after preparing for two weeks. So I am not sure whether my scores improved because Mock B is being easier or its because of the efforts I took for preparing for Mock B.

I was also in the same boat and prepared extensively for mock test B. I too felt Mock test B is easier thus thought of giving test A again. I would say evaluate your enabling skills from both the exams and work towards your goal.

I am pushing myself literally to score 79+ but now dont have the confidence after reattempt at test A.

Try writing on notepad in computer instead of hand which is probably the reason for your low mark in Spelling. Then you can check with MS word for spelling mistakes.

Also your writing ability needs to improve. Read some good articles and books and learn the flow of writing. This will also subsequently improve your Grammar and overall English.

I am practicing writing in the notepad in computer only. I am usually making 6-7 spelling mistakes in an essay. I also analyzed from last few essays due to the shortage of time I am not reviewing my essay and tend to move forward without reviewing.

Typically how much time would you suggest for reviewing essay. What are the other writing tasks i should focus on?

Hi desisingh
How have you improved your Pronunciation to 84?

Thank you in advance

Well i did not work at all on my pronunciation. It was just that i attempted the test with the headset second time so i guess i was more clear to the computer this time:eyebrows:

PTE : 20
Total : 75

I am applying for 261112 System Analyst. I am yet to file my EOI and want to know since march will be the last rounds before 2611 reaches ceiling. Is it possible to get the invite in march rounds?

 

[desisingh]

Has anyone discovered that some questions in PTE MacMillan testbuilder was answered wrongly in reading section Will be rewriting soon, how do I improve more in reading?

Not to discourage you but building up reading capability is not a days or months job. It will come to you naturally if you are used to reading.

That's my personal experience. I had prepared for CAT examination long time back and that helped me in my reading but still I felt in exam I was short of time.
