Just gave my PTE Academic exam and got 65 overall (L61/R63/S69/W66), way below what Alfa PTE mocks predicted. I was consistently scoring 75-80+ across sections on their mocks in the weeks before. Feels like their AI scoring is way too lenient.

For those who've retaken — which platform's mock scores actually matched your real exam score? Looking at APEUni and Pearson's own Scored Practice Test but want to hear real experiences before I commit more study hours to another platform that overestimates me

I clicked “Save and Exit” during the test because I needed to leave temporarily. After clicking it, the screen has been stuck on “Saving in progress” for about 15 minutes.

Hi all, my PTE Academic is on Aug 11. My Reading score is around 65 (target 85+). Weakest areas: Fill in the Blanks and Reorder Paragraphs. Speaking/Listening are fine, just Reading is holding me back.

Any tips, strategies, or practice resources that actually helped you improve Reading fast? Would really appreciate it 🙏

Hi everyone.

I'm giving my PTE Academic exam on Aug 11 and could really use some guidance from this community.

My latest mock score (ALFA PTE): Overall 73. Listening 70, Reading 65, Speaking 82, Writing 73.

My weaker areas are Reading (especially Fill in the Blanks and Reorder Paragraphs), Summarize Written Text and Summarize Spoken Text

Since I only have about a week left, I'd really appreciate any advice on:

How to improve quickly in these specific areas.

Also,

How best to structure my last week of preparation (what to prioritize, what to avoid, mock test timing, etc.)

Thank you so much in advance for any tips or experiences you can share — it means a lot
