– Write too many words if your English is average (aim for 250-265) – Use contractions such as “don’t”, “shouldn’t”, etc – Overuse connecting words (assessors expect that!) – Jump from one idea to the next: link, link, link! – Mix arguments “for” and “against” in the same paragraph – Use the wrong tone (essays are always formal) – Use abbreviations – Repeat words or overuse primitive verbs (does, makes, gets) – Cross out many things – Write illegibly – Use idioms too frequently or inappropriately – Write in a babyish manner (bad grammar and poorly developed ideas) – Become a clock victim (constantly look at the clock and panic) – Start writing without a plan – Forget to leave a blank line between paragraphs – Use generalisations (“All”, “Every”) as this reflects an immature way of thinking – Use simple sentences if you want a high score – Use cliches as they are often too informal – Use ‘lazy’ expressions (“and so on”, “etc”). – Copy part of task question – Agre

– Conciseness (8-15 words per sentence) – Cohesion (link ideas, paragraphs, sentences together) – Coherence (all ideas should be easily understood by the reader) – Composition (use the correct essay structure) – Answer the question fully (cover all points asked in the task statement) Band 7+ essays need a) more complex sentence structure b) more complex vocabulary c) more complex grammatical use and variation – Use the official writing task 2 form to practice and check what 250 words look like in your own handwriting – Read many essay topics – Read many sample essays – Know the right structure for all essay types – Know when to give your opinion Learn More!!

English Fluency Fluency is your ability to speak continuously in English without unnecessary pauses or fillers (umm, ahhh etc.), no matter how many grammar and vocabulary mistakes you make. Being fluent doesn’t mean you are speaking perfect English, it merely means that you are speaking comfortably and others are able to understand you. In my opinion, anyone can be fluent in English with enough practice and confidence. Learn More!!

PTE Reading Skimming and scanning are good skills to develop to speed your accuracy in the reading section of the test, and we all help our students master this strategy (that’s why they get the highest possible scores) Learn More!!

IELTS Vocabulary means using a more academic style and word choice (Lexical Resource) when writing your essay. Using Topic Specific Vocabulary, collocations and words from the Academic Word List will help considerably. Learn More!!

Deep Reading involves reading every word to gain an understanding of the text and allowing the meaning to form in your memory. There will be words that you may not recognise, at times, just push on.These may be explained in a context further on in the text. Learn More!!

Skimming involves not reading every word, but instead moving the eyes quickly over the text and allowing the main ideas (nouns, verbs) to become obvious.  Keep your eyes open, and move them deliberately quickly across the options, to see which words are repeated, the main words in each option, and gain an idea of what the text is overall going to be about. Come to a mental conclusion. Learn More!!

When many of our PTE students hear the word “essay”, they automatically understand it to mean a text with 5 paragraphs that includes an introduction, three arguments and a conclusion. They panic because they realize how unrealistic it is to write all of that content in just 20 minutes with a 300-word limit! Learn More!!

A lot of people run out of time writing their PTE essay because they change their minds about their arguments halfway through and must begin again. People often think that the best tactic is to just begin writing and get the ball rolling, and that the ideas will follow. Unfortunately, this is rarely how it works and in general, creating a plan will save you from having to stop and restart. Learn More!!

Long, convoluted sentences with lots of punctuation are your enemy. The more you try to extend your sentences, the more likely you will be to make grammar and punctuation mistakes! The Pearson test assessors are not looking for long, impressive sentences; they are looking for sentences that are clear and logical. Learn More!!

One of the major reasons why people find it difficult to speak without pauses and fillers is because they are constantly searching for the correct vocabulary. Vocabulary is built over time, but there are a lot of ways to boost your repertoire on a daily basis. Check out our great PTE vocabulary article for some helpful tips about how to do this. And make sure you always follow these two important rules: Rule 1: If you notice you use the same word all the time, go to thesaurus.com immediately and find some synonyms for that word. You must broaden your lexical horizons! Rule 2: If you’re engaged in a conversation and don’t know a word, describe it to your conversation partner. Don’t stop talking! The person will likely supply you with the word you need and you can continue the conversation without interruption. For example: You: “I was walking past this place yesterday, it’s a place where people go when they don’t have anywhere else to stay and they live on the street…” Co

This is an incredibly helpful way to build your fluency over time. The key here is to pick a partner who is dedicated to simply having a conversation with you. This person should not correct you every time you make a mistake, nor should they give you any tips about the way you speak (at least not until the conversation is over!).  Find someone who speaks fluent English and who has interesting things to say about topics you want to discuss. Talk about the news, the latest movies or your relationships – whatever you find riveting! If you are interested in a topic, you are more likely to forget about the mechanics of the conversation and focus on enjoying the actual content. Here are some do’s and don’t’s: Do: pick an interesting conversation partner who is a native or near-native English speaker. Do: talk about topics you are actually interested in, not just something related to PTE material. Do: ask your partner to tell you what they notice is improving about your fluency af

In Part 1 you will be tested on your speaking and writing skills. The time given to this section is 77-93 minutes. To assess speaking, your skills will be tested by your ability to produce spoken English in an academic environment. The writing section will require you to write responses in academic English using correct grammar and spelling. Learn More!!
