Help in getting Superior Speaking 90 🙏

I have taken PTE twice now and scored 79 in speaking each time.

Reading, Writing and listening is all fine, but speaking is holding me back from superior score.

- Are they any templates that are worth using (DI/RL)
- Any strategies that can help get superior score

I have been using basic template but feels like it’s not helping me.

If anyone has strategies/suggestions to get 90 in speaking plz help 🙏.

PTE ADVICE

Hi everyone! I’m preparing for my PTE exam soon and I’m looking for advice, especially for the speaking and writing sections.

I sometimes struggle with fluency, confidence, and organizing my thoughts while speaking. For writing, I’m worried about grammar and structure.

For those who already passed, what helped you improve the most? Any tips, templates, practice routines, or strategies would really help. Thank you!

Well, To all those who are stressing out!! [READ BODY]

Recently gave my second PTE after 4 years, prepared probably 1 month.

Wasn't very confident in terms of preparation and might score low but I did it anyway, it took 5 business days for my result and it was not superior though;

However, here is the most interesting part, I missed 2 WFD in my test due to lack of time management on reading and on top of that my morale was low because I have messed in RS due to distractions in the room and I cannot remember what I said but I maintained my fluency even though it didn't make sense.

Now the result speaks to itself.

My advice first of all to myself is Speaking and Listening is not hard and can be achieved by maintaining fluency then focus of Reading and Writing module.

Hope this gives a bit of hope. PEACE !!

Started Using 79score for PTE Practice — When Will More Modules Come?

Hi everyone,

I’m currently preparing for my PTE exam, and someone recently recommended 79score for practice. So I decided to check it out.

I actually really liked their new self-study feature — the design looks clean and the learning modules are pretty engaging. But right now I can only see two active question types available.

Does anyone know when the other question types will be added? 👀
Or is it still under development?

Overall score higher than all component scores

I realised I have full overall score but everything else at lower scores, is this normal? Don't make sense to me. Anyone with similar experience and whether have you check with Pearson for this?

No preparation, just years of Hollywood movies

English is my 3rd language and I speak 4 other languages. To be fair, I also have been working in customer facing roles for the last 7 years so I think my speaking skills are good. I actually did mess up in a lot of places on the exam but I think it tests your skills more than your accuracy.

My biggest tip to anyone that tell me they're trying to improve their English: Start watching movies with subtitles on. Been doing that since I was 9 years old.

Huge drop in PTE Writing score on my third attempt – has anyone else experienced this recently?

Hey everyone,

I’m honestly very confused and stressed after receiving my latest PTE result, and I wanted to know if anyone else has experienced something similar recently.

My previous attempt (14th April):

Overall: 85

Listening: 90

Reading: 61

Speaking: 90

Writing: 74

Latest attempt: (14th May)

Overall: 88

Listening: 90

Reading: 66

Speaking: 90

Writing: 59

This was my third attempt, and what shocked me the most is that I genuinely felt this exam went much better overall, especially in Writing. My Reading improved, Overall improved, but Writing suddenly dropped by 15 points, which I honestly wasn’t expecting at all.

At the moment, I’m running out of visa time, and repeating the exam multiple times is becoming mentally and financially exhausting. I’m trying to understand whether the recent PTE Writing scoring has become stricter or if I’m missing something technically in my approach.

If anyone has gone through similar score fluctuations recently or managed to recover from a major Writing drop, please share your experience or suggestions. I would also really appreciate advice from people who recently achieved Superior English, especially in the last few weeks, on what strategies or changes actually helped improve Writing scores.

Any genuine advice or feedback would really help me right now. Thank you

Rescore Experience

Got my desired score in speaking after rescore for my registration. Didnt practice much before exam. First attempt with 1 day of practice. I might not have any tips to give because i didnt have any. Gave it in the conventional way, did what they have asked to do. No templates or easy method.

So if you are sure that you have done well in exam, dont hesitate to go for rescore. I applied for rescore after 10 days, rescore got published after 2 days.
Goodluck to everyone. Refunds will be processed in 2 days.

Because many people requested, limited people offer

So I’m opening only 3 spots for private 1:1 PTE strategy sessions this week.

This is NOT random practice classes.

In these sessions, we focus on:

  • Why your score is stuck
  • What the AI actually rewards
  • Speaking corrections live
  • Time-saving strategies
  • Templates that genuinely work
  • Section-wise game plan for 65+/79+

Most people practice for months without realizing they’re repeating the same mistakes.

Sometimes one strategy shift changes everything.

The sessions are mainly for people who:

  • Keep getting stuck between scores
  • Have exam anxiety
  • Need a clear attempt strategy
  • Want faster improvement instead of endless practice

I’ll only take 3 people because proper feedback takes time.

If interested, comment “PTE” or DM me directly.
