Write Essay-PTE Writing

  • In the PTE Write Essay task, you must write an essay based on the topic that is given to you. You will be given 20 minutes to submit your essay response.
  • There is word count on your screen that will help you keep track of how many words you have written. You must write a 200-300 words
  • You can also use the cut, copy, and paste options to help you create your essay.

Strategies and test tips

  • Research the issue and determine what crucial elements you should focus on in order to answer the question, as well as any points of view you want to convey and explore.
  • Examine the essay prompt to figure out how to respond. Prompts for essays can be written in a variety of ways. For example, in this statement you need to highlight points that you agree or disagree with. 

  • Do not exceed the 300-word limit for the essay. 
  • Use academic English to the best of your ability, divide your entire essay into medium sized paragraphs. Bullet points are not a good idea either and do not extend your paragraphs to be too long either.
  • Avoid using technical jargon and short forms. Make sure your essay has a variety of sentence types including simple sentences, compound sentences and complex sentences. 
  • Use essay templates available online to practice your writing skills, so you will be prepared for when you actually have to write in the exam. 

Scoring

Content

The best responses stay on topic, provide logical and clear information. They also back up their claims with specifics, examples, and/or explanations.

Development, structure and coherence

Having several paragraphs and a clear introduction, body, and conclusion that are all related to the essay’s topic will get you the best marks.

Form

  • You are given the highest score under form if you follow the 200-300 word limit.
  • Any response that is fewer than 200 words or greater than 300 words will lead to point deductions. 
  • Any response that is fewer than 120 words or greater than 380 words will lead to a score of zero.

General linguistic range

Highlight incorrect word-PTE Listening

For the PTE listening Highlight Correct Summary task, you must listen to the recording (which is a minute or two long) that will be played and select the summary or the paragraph that is most closely related to that particular recording.

There are many options to choose from, but there is only one correct response. 

✅ Highlight Correct Summary Tips and strategies to follow

  • For almost all listening tasks, it is best to remember that you should not answer as you hear the recording. Make notes based on what you hear and answer after the recording ends based on those notes. 

In Highlight Correct Summary, do not go through the options before or when the audio is playing because you will be distracted by the amount of information. 

Instead, completely focus on the audio and write down notes (any key points, important words, dates, times etc.)

  •  Pay 100% of your attention on the recording that will be around a minute or a minute and a half long. There is only one correct option out of the many options given, so make mental and physical notes of important ideas that you heard.  
  • Select a response even if you are not sure about it because there is no negative marking for this task. You should also move on quickly so as to save more time for future tasks. 
  • Select a response even if you are not sure about it because there is no negative marking for this task. You should also move on quickly so as to save more time for future tasks.
  • Highlight Incorrect Word practice questions will be of great help prior to the exam. 

✅ Scoring

  • Your ability to grasp, analyse, and combine information from a recording and identify the most accurate summary of the spoken text is assessed in your response in the Highlight Correct Summary task. 
  • Your response is given a correct or incorrect rating. No credit is provided if you don’t respond or if you respond incorrectly.

✅ Notes
