Congrats Anshuman,

I have attempted twice 1st was unsuccessful and in 2nd I was able to get 69 so at-least some relief. But this time will be appearing in JAN and need 79 in any case. Can you throw some light on your preparations on other areas as well.

Thanks !!!

Chandan.

Hi all,

 

Reading through the thread, I thought I will share my experience as well. I am in India and gave the PTE last week. I was pleasantly surprised to score 90 in all sections in my first attempt!

 

Why surprised? I was sure my mic would have picked up noise from the adjacent test takers - the seats were too close! But seeing the scores, my guess is that may be the software is intelligently designed and only picks up 'relevant' sounds - as all the test-takers were answering different questions (at least while speaking). The main problem was concentration, given the noise.

 

My tip for describe image: structure the first sentence like this and NEVER fumble: "The line-chart/pie-chart/bar-graph illustrates [chart title] from the period/through the period/for [x-axis]". Then point one or two extremes in the graph: "The sales were highest in 2006 and lowest in 2009", and conclude, if possible with a trend analysis: "Overall, there is a downward trend in sales in the last five years".

 

I am an MBA and my job is to look at charts and sound smart :cute:

Hey pls can u name the torrent website ... Thanks !!!

Guys, is 79 achievable in PTE? Has anyone succeeded to get it?

I have got L71, R70, W65, S88 in my first exam without preparation and I need to get 79 in each. Do you think I will be able to get it this time after study and good preparation?

Ofcourse its POSSIBLE. I know students getting overall 90 as well. Though they have taken some coaching but the score is possible. Target 90 so that you land at 80 or 80+.

Hi,

I think PTE is worth taking it. Though I hv planned to take the test in 1st week of April. My previous 2 attempts were for TOEFL ibt. The structure of the test is good, but anyhow didn't score reqd marks. So, finally planning to take PTE. Hope this time I get through.

Al da best to those taking the test. Do keep sharing your experiences.

Cheers !!!

Hi Guyz,

I had given TOEFL iBT L18;R18;W18;S26, this was first time, now I have opted for IELTS academic but not sure bcoz reading seems more tough. If anyone can suggest should I again go in for Toefl. I am planing for 189/190.

Awaiting ur replies .......
