I have usually found people ending up getting more marks on their real test than mock/practice test.

Also, there is negative marking for multiple choice questions in Reading & Listening - this could be one of the reasons.

 

How long does it take them to score the practice exams online? Do they get an examiner to go over the speaking and writing parts (I assume)?

 

Hi,

The practice tests are marked quite fast, in less than 20 mins I would say. It is all done marked by computer. I myself did the practice tests a few days ago and I did the actual exam today.

Hi,

Just did the practice tests and the actual test myself. Sadly, it is a Friday so I'll have to wait till next week for my results. I'm aiming for 79+ as well. I should be able to give you a comparison as soon as I get my results.

Cheers,

AeroHawk

 

Hi,

Hello AeroHawk,
Had you purchased the scored practice tests from the PTE website?
Are there any other sites from where we can get the scored PTE practice tests.

Thank you!

 

wow amazing result

I also got my result:

W80 R73 S 75 L68.

In reading, I left 5 question unanswered due to lack of time. While speaking, I did some blunders. However, I don't know why I scored so less in Listening.

Can anyone help me to improve my Listening skills?

Regards

Best way to improve listening is to do some listening, check out some youtube videos. Take some notes for the lectures, like keywords and write them in a timeline form. Dates, numbers, names and keywords are important here. For dictation, listen carefully first before starting to write.

 

Hi

I bought the gold test kit from ptepractice and after some studying I did the first mock test and got 90's across the board. Not sure how the mock test and the marking thereof equates to the actual test. I made a lot of mistakes during the speaking but somehow still got 90 for speaking which is weird to me. This makes me doubt the mock test score vs the actual test and how it is marked.

Can anyone confirm that the mock test is a good indication of the results you would get for the actual test should I perform at the same level?

Regards

Stephen

 

I took a practice test yesterday and had a similar result. I was surprised to find I scored 90 in speaking even though I made a lot of mistakes. Example for describing image and re-tell lecture questions, I spoke for only around 25 seconds. I'm keen to know if other had similar results and how they fared in real tests.

 

Please Help

Speaking score doesn't matter in Mock Test because your computer mic is not as good as PTE mic, hence it can be lower. My Mock test Speaking was 65 and in real exam was 89.

You need improvement on Reading.

 

Many Thnks Mate,
I was using iphone ear plugs infact.

But can you tell me how many words/minute will be a gud fluency?

 

I can't tell that, and it varies with individuals.
But if you're fluent, you'd know. You'd be more confident, relaxed and comfortable while you speak. This is usually the case when you speak casually or passionately about a subject. You tend not to stop talking because you're enjoying yourself .

No matter your personality, reticent or loquacious, there would always be times when you've enjoyed speaking at length. During such times, you can identify your fluency. Are you a sport or political bigot (fanatic to use a lighter alternative)? Then, recall one of your arguments with friends! That's it!! You're spot on in your fluency during that argument or passionate discussion.

Try the practice test again with a new mindset and new technique. You may notice slight change in the first attempt, try again and you'd see the improvement.
Good luck!

 

Hi

Can someone share real exam repeated multiple choice and single choice question????

Thanks

 

I don't think anyone can remember that! Just keep working on your fundamentals. You can achieve whatever score you need.

 

PTE mock test?

Hello guys,

which website do you suggest to have/buy some mock tests for the PTE?

If I scored
L: 8.5
R: 7
W: 7
S: 7

in the IELTS, how long should it take me to prepare for having 79+ in PTE?

Thanks!

Spend 2-3 weeks. Go thru youTube videos for each PTE section. Familiarize yourself with the test pattern. Develop templates for each section.
DO not think that good score in IELTS is guarantee for good score in PTE.

 

Hi ,

Your score will not jump from 60 to 79+ considering your test score. You have to prepare at least 2 months and spend more time in preparation. Actually, practice test will be very difficult as you stated. I have also scored 61 to 65 in practice test. But in real exam i got S-80/W-76/R-71/L-68 ( 2 months preparation).

All the best.

Hello,

I guess one needs to practise well and then relax on the test day. Here are my mock test scores
Exam A: L75 - R73 - S60 - W89
Exam B: L82 - R74 - S67 - W85

So after getting the disappointing scores in test A, I practiced a lot - like 2 hours every day for 2 weeks. I used you tube tutorials and other mock tests. I particularly found E2 language's you tube vidz very helpful. But even after this hard work I still recorded a minor improvement in Exam B. So I told myself whatever happens happens in the final exam.

Actual PTE score: L90 - R90 - S90 - W90

I couldn't believe it that I had got a perfect score even after fumbling a few repeat-a-sentence questions. I also stammered in a couple of the describe this image question. But overall, I was relaxed and did not dwell on my mistakes.
I guess one of the things that can affect your mock test scores is 1. the lack of preparation, 2. poor quality sound recording on laptop microphone. One can always get around these factors by working hard and properly testing the microphone on test day.

Also it helps if you go over the exam score guide. It will show you which sections have the most marks and where you need to concentrate your practising efforts.


Good luck!!!:rockon:
