My advice to all pte test takers. I am sharing few tips which would help u during the exam.
- Concentrate very hard because you will be distracted by others in the exam room during the speaking session. Everybody speaks hard and loud... U cannot control that. Press headphones hard to your ears when listening and concentrate.
- Don't underestimate writing essays. U will hardly have time to plan and type 200-300 words in 20 minutes. My advice...After reading the question, start typing immediately and have an eye on the timer.
- The reading part is another deceiving session. U will run out of time before you realize. So practice hard.
- Stay confident and crack the exam. Good luck
