💡 PTE prep tips
- Speaking: enunciate clearly and maintain steady pace—machine-scored, so clear pronunciation is critical; background noise is automatically detected and may lower score
- Reading: practice re-ordering paragraphs using logical flow and transition words as clues—this section trips many test-takers
- Listening: the writing-from-dictation task rewards careful listening—use headphones, listen actively, and replay if available
