Barely had any time to prepare, lucky hybrid checking actually gives weight to natural answers. I was getting worried with mock exams and templates. Did not want to do those at all.
Tbh the exam difficulty level was the same as the platforms but I think it was more lenient in marking
I gave two of the official mock tests before this and my score was pretty bad compared to this, and according to me, my test performance was pretty much the same. So this was a really nice surprise…
Not to mention I got the scores a day before my birthday lol🥳
So I have my pte test in 4 days and I need to practice for it, I am using APEUni without subscription but I feel like I wanna practice in mock too, I can buy the subscription but I am wondering if 30 days subscription when I am just going to use for 4 days isn’t worth it
Can anyone help me in this or like give me an advice about what I should do
I have given my pte test in past but I need to do it again,
I don’t have much time to check where can I get free mock test online
This is the only attempt I have got for achieving 70 in all
My PTE score for the test I had yesterday. This was my second attempt after not receiving a superior marking for writing last time.Feel free to ask any questions needed, and all the best to everyone 🙂
Hi everyone! I have my PTE exam on 30 April and wanted to ask if there are any recent essay predictions or repeated topics going around.
Not looking for templates—just want to know if anything specific is being expected these days.
Would really appreciate any updates or insights
Not satisfied..dunno why I got 60 in writing..i needed 66 each for bachelor of Nursing...do u guys know any universities in melbourne which would accept this score for nursing?
89 for listening, 72 for Reading, 90 for Speaking, 75 for writing
Wanted to know if it's enough to get a permanent residence in Australia. Thank you!
I just took the PTE yesterday in Las Vegas (needed for nurse license endorsement from new york to nevada)
And got the email this morning!! I am soo happy!
I just wanna share some tips to anyone who needs it since this subreddit helped alot with insights while I was preparing.
I’m currently a SAHM and i only had time to review while my baby is sleeping. Technically I only had 1-4 hours of review for 4 days total.
I was actually scheduled for apr 8 , i did 2 mock tests on APEUNI, with 68-72 predicted score, i felt ready but wasnt aiming for superior. On exam day, i was there already at testing center - but was refused to take the exam because i didn’t write down my MIDDLE NAME! I didn’t get a refund nor reschedule.
I guess that fueled me to get a better score because I was so annoyed 😠
So I rescheduled on the 16th to take on 22. And again, just light reviewing and this time i took 1 mock test with ALFA PTE. I got the 10 day premium and used it for 2 days.
I focused on where I was weak, summarize written text, summarize group discussion and also repeatedly practiced my speaking “fluency” and by fluency - apparently the AI is looking for fast, no pause talking! I took mental notes from playing how the other test takers did it on the community scores!
I did exactly how I practiced and was so happy with my result!! 😍 nevada nursing only required 55 average score but i guess this was more a self challenge.
Good luck to all test takers soon!
First of all, I’m not an expert and I didn’t score 90. But based on what I understood, practiced, and experienced over the last 4 months, I was able to improve my score from 42 in my first mock test (December) to 71 overall in my actual PTE exam. So I just want to share what worked for me:
It’s just an exam. Focus on understanding how PTE scoring works, especially which tasks carry more weight and which don’t.
If you’re a non-native English speaker like me, start watching movies or series in English. Every language begins with listening, then speaking and writing. In PTE, strong listening skills help you remember content and take notes for speaking and writing sections.
Consistent practice is key.
After the recent changes, templates almost don’t work anymore. Instead, focus on understanding essay topics. Think on your own, write answers, and improve them using tools like ChatGPT. Try writing at least one essay daily.
Speaking content and fluency are very important.
In reading, focus on understanding the passage. Eliminate incorrect options using logic and grammar, then choose the best fit.
Most importantly, believe in yourself.
- Websites for practice:
ApeUni ( I used )
AlphaPTE
Gurully
- YouTube channels:
Language Academy
SKILLS PTE ACADEMIC
Ritika PTE Prep ( have collocation and words)
Storm EduGo ( have good reading videos)
- One of the best resources:
ChatGPT , use it to improve your essays or understand why an answer is correct.
- If you have any questions, feel free to ask. I’ll try to answer based on my experience and understanding.
2 weeks, 2 hours daily, 2nd attempt, no tutor/no paid subscriptions, just consistent practice. I finally achieved my desired scores on my second attempt! Huge thanks to the online resources and everyone in the community who generously shared their tips and insights. Just kind a reminder that a SUPERIOR score is possible!! Keep going and best of luck everyone!
I am planning to buy premium membership for practice. I have heard a lot about the APEUni but also heard about Gurully and AlfaPTE. Furthermore, I have also used AlfaPTE Premium for some time, as I have previously taken few physical classes, but now I want to practice at home freely. So, what will be the best choice? I am searching for the best platform that is as close as possible to an actual test. Provide reasons for your recommendations, and also comment on what you are using currently. Also, tell me what I should be looking for in the platform.
same as the title
Im getting 80+ scores in my phone alfa pte application but on website im getting 50 what is the reason what could be the possible reason im worried what to do.
