Bursting some myths related to the Speaking and Writing Section in the PTE
- If you feel your speaking and writing skills are not good. If you do not understand the questions well and are not able to respond to them easily in a conversation, then you should go for the PTE test of English.
- In the speaking section of the PTE exam, there is no examiner to test your speaking skills; it is all computerized. Hence, you can prepare a response and speak in the microphone. Only for this reason some test takers opine that PTE is comparatively easy. Questions like read-aloud, describe images, and retelling lectures. Do not use templates of ALFA PTE or APEuni. Even if you are using them, paraphrase it and use it during the real test
- In the PTE test, the computer detects the prepared response, so try to keep the prepared response original and limited to you; do not share it with someone else. Millions of people take this test every single day and the software in the PTE test is so robust that it tries to match the response with other candidates. If two responses are the same, there is a high chance that it will not fetch a decent score. Hence, keep it fresh and to the minimum in speaking and writing. If you cannot change the entire answer script, paraphrase the response using Quill Bot or Chat GPT.
- The Pearson test of English is also not that easy. You should have a basic command of the language. There is a widespread myth that PTE can be easily passed by someone who does not have basic English proficiency. However, it is not at all true. Those who start the preparation for the test and lack fundamental English skills might take 4-6 months to get a score of 65 (depending on the inputs)
- The test does not give you correct scoring all the time. I have noticed that in the PTE test, you might never get 90 on 90 in speaking, no matter how fluent you are with your communication skills. I have been using multiple portals to test this and found that people who live in English-speaking countries like Australia, New Zealand, or Canada get full marks on the speaking test. You can even call it biased, but I have seen very limited Indians get full scores no matter how hard you try.
