hi this is Moni from PTE magic so I recently noticed that except for the
messages that I'm already receiving from PTE aspirants
I'm also getting many enquiries and questions from students who are very
curious about Pte and wanted to find out more information about it
especially from a lot of Vietnamese students so that's why in this video I'm
going to go through some basic and important facts about PTE academic as
well as the structure of the test
so what is PTE?
PTE stands for Pearson test of English and it is a computer-based test
that is used to evaluate English level of non-native speakers and the other
tests that are quite similar that you might already know are IELTS, TOEFL, TOEIC and CAE
so PTE was created by pearson PLC which is the world publishing and
educational company it is also an official partner of GMAT which is
accepted worldwide as an entrance requirement for MBA programs crme is
accepted worldwide by thousands of different universities including the
reputable one like Harvard Business School or but more importantly it is
100% accepted by Australian and New Zealand government for a visa
applications are not only for the permanent residency but also for
students visa for working visa and for other types of visas ok it's actually
very easy and very simple because all the tested things can be made online and
you just need to create account on the PSN Pte and you will need to input some
personal details to verify your identity and then you can select the test date NP
tes are available throughout the year so very much there are some centers where
you can book it every day
yoga's Pte test so during three hours you will be assessed based on four total
skills which are speaking writing reading and listening one thing that is
very interesting about BTE is that all the skills are linked to each other okay
so even if you're doing one skill you can still get marks and scores for the
other ones speaking is the first part of the test and it's very important at the
two primary aspects that you'll be judged on our pronunciation and fluency
you will do all your sticking part with the computer so basically you will be
speaking to a computer and all your answers will be recorded and then
computer will mark your answers so in the first test you have to look at the
text and then in 35 seconds of preparation you have to read this text
aloud and you have 35 seconds to complete this one in the second part
you'll hear a sentence and then you have to repeat the sentence exactly as you
hear it and you can only hear the sentence once in the third part you have
to look at the graph or any image and then in 25 seconds after preparation you
have to speak in the microphone and describe in detail what the graph is
showing and you will be given 40 seconds to complete this task the next talk is
retail lecture where you will hear a short lecture after listening to the
lecture you'll have 10 seconds to prepare and then you'll have to speak
into the microphone and will tell what you just heard from the lecture you will
be given 40 seconds to finish this talk the last one is answer short question in
this task you will hear a short question and then after that you will have to
give a simple and short answer and it can be one or few words the next part is
writing I think on seas off to your main pot
some rabbits and eggs and writing is Lea so in summer I written text you will be
given a passage you have to read the passage and then summarize it using one
sentence and your answer should be between 5 to 75 words the second one is
essay writing you will have 20 minutes to plan write and brief eyes on an essay
about the topic given and you have to write between 200 to 300 words writing
MPGe is actually the easiest part compared to
any other ones because they mainly look at you know grandma you're selling your
vocabulary and your written discourse and you don't have to come up with some
crazy or like you know sophisticated ideas and any like crazy no capillary
and you'll still be able to just go very high in writing the third part of the
test is reading the reason for time fluctuation is because sometimes you're
getting 15 questions and sometimes you're getting 20 questions so if every
time for each questions will be 2 minutes
so obviously you'll need to manage your time really well and another thing is
that you can't keep questions once you click Next you can't go back so you may
need to make sure that you answer the questions before you move to the next
one the first one is filling the blanks you have to read the text with blank and
click on each blank and then you have to choose the word from the list of the
words given the second one is multiple choice questions multiple answers so you
have to read the text and answer the questions by selecting all of the
correct response and there will be more than one correct response in the third
talk you'll be given the text in the boxes and then they are placed in random
order your task is to restore the original order by dragging the text from
the left to the right hand side in the correct order
the first one is multiple choice question single answers you have to read
the text and answer the multiple choice question by selecting the correct
response and only one response is correct
the last one is fill in the blanks where you have to read the text and select the
words that are missing you need to drag the words from the box
below to the appropriate place in the text after the reading you'll have ten
minutes optional breaks, I always recommend to take this break because
listening is actually the hardest part in the test you want to stay really
focused so always go out for your toilet break or to have some water and then
come back to do your listening part
this one is also very intense in terms of time management
you will have to be very careful because during the audio
you are not allowed to skip to the next one
the first part is summarize spoken text
where you will hear a short lecture and then after you have ten minutes to write
a summary which is between 50 to 70 words
in the multiple choice questions - multiple answers you have to listen to the recording
and select all the correct responses
you have to choose more than one correct response
in filling the blanks you will hear recording and you have to type the missing words in the blanks
In the next one, you have to hear a recording and then you have to click on
the paragraph that is the best summary of the recording
the fifth task is
multiple choice questions - single answer
in select missing what you have
to hear a recording and then you have to choose the words at the end of the
recording after the beep
in highlight incorrect words you have to
listen to the recording and you have to click on the words that are different
from the recording
the last one is Write from dictation, you will hear a sentence
and then you'll have to type the sentence in the box exactly as you hear it
A lot of people might find right fermentation is the hardest part
in the listening and it might be true but it also depends on how you how well
you practice this one
make sure that you complete Write from Dictation
it means you have to be very careful with your time management
