How to Do PTE Test Preparation?

Considering this question implies that you have already gone through the requirements of the place you want to move to and decided to appear for PTE. The next step is to know about the test and the way to prepare for it. So, here is a step-wise guide to help you with your preparations.

1. Search about the test: The first step is to do a complete in-depth study of the test. From ‘what the test is about?’ to ‘how will the scorecard look?,' search for every question. You need to know even the minute details of the test, since your future is dependent on it. Your friend, Internet will provide you with every detail you want to know and should know. Some important things to search for are:

• the format of the test
• various sections the test is divided into
• different question types
• time allotted (total as well as for individual tasks)

1. Decide your target: You must know about the minimum score you need to qualify the eligibility criteria of the desired place. Some places may ask for 79+, while others may be satisfied with a 60. Your preparation will depend on your target, so know your target before starting to prepare.

2. Sign-up for a course: It is highly recommended to everyone to take coaching even if your primary language is English. This is because PTE contains diverse types of questions, including 20 different task types of varying accents. This coaching can be in a classroom or using an online platform. There are a number of private language schools providing PTE courses for as short as a week to an extended six-months period. A number of online courses are also available where you can learn according to your convenience. Don’t skip this part because coaching is essential to bring the required confidence in you and help you manage the test timings.

3. Practice: You definitely don’t want to score less and appear for the test again. Also, to be economical, it would be better to spend adequate resources in the form of time and money on practice in the first attempt, than to bear these costs again. Read for at least 30 minutes in a day. Adhere to the guidelines of your coursebook. Take practice tests. Practice for each question type. You can also opt for online scored or unscored PTE practice tests. Scored practice tests are more advantageous, since they provide similar results as the actual test and will let you know your shortcomings.

Practicing in public places is also advisable since you won’t be the only one taking test on that particular day. Actual test conditions are totally different and you don’t want to go blank due to lots of distractions. Learning to work in distractions will help you score well in the actual scenario.

1. Know your strengths and weaknesses: Now, that you have practiced, you know where you lack and where you master. Work on improving your weaknesses.

2. Decide the date: You know the rules, you know the test and you have practiced. So, what are you waiting for? Decide a date, book your seat and ace the test.
