Things you must do:

Pay attention to the question: Each PTE question is designed to elicit specific information. While answering the question do not lose focus and beat around the bush. If the question is asking you to talk about dinosaurs, don’t talk about a rhinoceros.

Stick to the prescribed word limit: You will not receive extra points for excess information. This is not a test to check your knowledge, but to check your English proficiency. You will not receive additional points for adhering to the PTE Academic India word limit. However, points will be cut based on the number of words that have exceeded the prescribed limit.

Punctuation is an obligation: Make sure to use appropriate punctuation whenever required. Commas, semi colons, hyphens, full stops etc. will be marked in the writing section of your PTE Academic exam.

Do not waste time while speaking: The speaking section of your PTE test will require you to voice your answer into a microphone. The microphone will shut off after 3 seconds of silence. To avoid an incomplete answer, let your words canter without discontinuity.

Click ‘Next’: After the completion of a task, check your answer and click ‘Next’. This button will be present at the bottom of the screen. You will not progress to the next task, until you click ‘Next’.

Things you must avoid:

Unnecessary capitalization of words: Do not use capital/uppercase letters when it is not required. Use capitals to begin a sentence or indicate a proper noun (names of places, companies, people etc.).
