Try changing your intonation, voice and speak clearer than you did before. There's definitely a need for a change in your tactics. Don't same thing again, try and find out what tactic works well with the mock.

PTE isn't funny at all. I have had two mock tests.

First mock test: S 64 W 86 R 75 L 80

Second mock test: S 64 W 87 R 72 L 86

My fluency and pronunciation scores improved a bit but did not reflect in the speaking score for the second test. I have no idea why my reading score is poor too, I thought I did well in the second test as well because my grammar score spiked.

Afolaseg,

Still awaiting your response sir. sad

Bamz, pls am so sorry, it's been long av read comments on nairaland due to work. I have received alot of PMs for mock test and materials but not been able to respond to them. For those asking if the mock test is the same with the real test. From my experience, people usually get the same mark in the mock test and the real test if they refuse to practice the more or get the logic in the test. The test is not about how vocal you are but about you getting the required scope and tactics in answering their questions. You don't also have to be panic when writing the test. I have had alot of testimonies from those who wrote the mock test till they had their desired component before going for the real test and came out in flying colors. So it is always advisable to get your desired score in the mock test before going for the real test to avoid wasting time and resources (Money).

Hello Sir,

Hw was your wife able to move from 65 to 90 in speaking in one month. Please I need advice. I cored 66, two times now. I need 79+

Thanks


She practiced vigorously with the aid of the book "The Official Guide to PTE Academic" (comes with a CD-ROM) and took many mock tests. We got a headset with which she practiced Speaking and simulated live exam environment.

We also benefited from some tips given by either Bnimz or Mctowe01. Will share once I locate the page. Cheers

Hello good people

Please I want to make a quick clarification. I am presently in London and will back to Nigeria in about two weeks time. Please can I register or buy the PTE-A voucher in London and write the exam in Lagos, Nigeria?

Please kindly confirm if this is possible.

Thank you.
Re: Preparing For PTE? Get In Here by Azy123(m): 11:38pm On Sep 15, 2017
I Think you can buy from anywhere and write anywhere but you must choose the Lagos center where you want to write.

You can PM me for the mock test.

@mavinc4u, Voucher is for the real exam registration while you need to pay online @ptepractice test for the mock test or get it from me @ the rate of #7,500. Check my timeline to read more about the advantage of the mock test.

Oh, I see. Thought the N7,500 is for the real exam fee.
Re: Preparing For PTE? Get In Here by Azy123(m): 11:07am On Sep 19, 2017
I used it for a while.It picked almost all of my words most of the time. But usually doesn't pick the first word. So, I have concluded my pronunciation problem is not the production of individual vowel or consonant sounds but that of stress and intonation. Mostly sentence stress and intonation and some word stress. Working on that now.

How is you preparation going?

Hi all, Any one with good news recently on this PTE test ( mock or real ) to motivate the rest of us.

I was able to achieve 77 in MOCK speaking after some preparation. Going for the real thing next week. Preparation continues with some luck we will get there.

Please share your methods lets help ourselves. The following links are very helpful -

Wow, @ Azy123 , you really got close to the golden mark in speaking. Did you speak faster than before or put more emphasis on pronunciation/intonation? In mock test A, I got 64 in Speaking, Pronunciation 37, oral fluency 74. Do we go for tongue twisting exercise?

Re: Preparing For PTE? Get In Here by Azy123(m): 6:03pm On Sep 28, 2017
I just pray I will do better in the real thing when I finally summon the courage to retake it again. smiley

What I did differently:

- Spoke faster than before.

- Did not explicitly pause for comma, just a very small almost unnoticeable pause. Fluency 90

- Observed word stress, sentence stress and intonation in the best way I could (this was not easy). Pronunciation increased to 52 from 39 and 43 in the last 2 mock test.

- In addition to my normal way of describing image, I added a statement to include the vertical axis. Maybe it increased the mark for content also I'm not sure - "the vertical axis shows a range of number from ____ to _____".

That's all I did
