PTE WEAK AREAS | FOCUS ON HIGH SCORING TASKS

By
PTE Protips


HOW TO FIND YOUR WEAK AREAS IN PTE?

Hello friends! In this post we will see how to find our weak areas in PTE
Academic. So what is weak area? Do you have weak area in a language? No, there
is no such thing. Because learning a language is not a skill, it’s just how to
communicate each other. But to get your desired score, you need to understand
which tasks have more weightage than others and some tricks and methods as well.

If you lose 1 or 2 marks in one section and considering that as your weak area
and practice well in that section alone, then you may lose marks in other
sections. Therefore, you have to practice all those tasks again, which have more
weightage before appearing for the test again. However, we will see how to
identify in which task you didn’t do well, just to have some idea. But keep in
mind that you have to practice all tasks and retake the test within 1 or 2
weeks. If you give more gap, then you may need to start practicing from the
beginning.


CONCENTRATE ON MOST IMPORTANT TASKS



Let us see the task details in depth. PTE Academic has 20 different tasks which
are part of speaking, writing, reading and listening modules. The highlighted
tasks contribute more marks whereas the rest contributes less marks. Therefore,
concentrating only on the highlighted ones will get you 79+.


PTE Most and Least Important Tasks

MOST IMPORTANT TASKS

Now we will see the most important tasks to identify PTE weak areas based on
module specific. From now on I am going to mention only the short forms of the
task names. Better to know this as well while sharing the information between
your friends. Next time if you feel that you got less score in any section, then
that means you didn’t do well in one or more tasks in this list.

For example, if the score is low in speaking section, then something is wrong in
RA, RS, DI or RL. RA affects reading section as well. If you get 90 in reading
section but 70 in speaking and 65 is listening sections, then that means your RA
is good. Because reading score is good, but you might have missed something in
RS and RL. Similarly, if the score is low in writing and listening sections,
then that means your WFD task is affected negatively. We will see few scorecards
to understand this in detail.



ENABLING SKILLS

Before proceeding further, we have to understand how enabling skills are scored.
Because both communicative skills and enabling skills score are interlinked each
other. We will see one by one now.

Communicative and Enabling skills

GRAMMAR

Correct usage of grammar in the sentence is evaluated. You have to know the
basic grammar such as present tense, past tense, future tense, singular/plurals
etc. Oral fluency and pronunciation are only for speaking section. But the tasks
such as RA, RS and RL will affect reading and listening sections as well.
Therefore, the flow should be smooth and easily understandable to get more
marks.

SPELLING

We have to precisely follow the spelling rules. The words such as absolute,
tomorrow, opportunity look simple, but if we make an error, it will be
considered as a blunder mistake. In addition, PTE software will reduce much
marks if we make either one or couple of mistakes like this. Therefore, be
careful about spellings and double check your response. Moreover, follow either
British, USA, Canada or Australian English one at a time. Don’t mix them between
the tasks.

VOCABULARY

It is not required to use tough words at all. Appropriate choice of words to
express meaning precisely in written and spoken English will do.

WRITTEN DISCOURSE

We have to follow the proper structure of a written text, either it may be SWT,
Essay or SST.

Now we will see the weak areas in PTE for this scorecard




Always start with speaking section, because it is easy to identify as it is
affected only by oral fluency and pronunciation in enabling skills. As I already
mentioned, communicative skills and enabling skills are interlinked to each
other. Therefore, we should always check both of them to understand where we
have missed.

SPEAKING SECTION

In this scorecard speaking score is 77 because the pronunciation has gone down
but oral fluency is good. Therefore, you have to improve all these four tasks –
RA, RS, DI and RL. As I always insist, we need to maintain same pace in RA, DI
and RL. Otherwise, the fluency score may go down. But the fluency is good in
this scorecard because the test taker has followed this rule. Describe Image is
fine as the score is already 77. But because of the other 3 tasks, the remaining
sections affected negatively.

READING SECTION

Next, reading score is 69. Now see the reading tasks. For reading section,
enabling skills, which contribute only to reading section is not required for
the tasks as the answer is either correct or incorrect.

RA – Yes, we have already seen in speaking section. We have to improve this.

SWT – Check the writing section. The score is 59. As a result, SWT should also
needs to be improved.

ROP and R-FIB – These two contributes only to reading section. But the reading
score is already 69. Let us keep it aside as of now.

R&W-FIB – Again compare with writing section. Since it is 59, we have to improve
this task.

HIW – Check listening section. Since listening score is 60, we have to improve
this.

Now, since the reading score is almost ok, we have to partially improve ROP and
R-FIB as other reading tasks need to be improved a lot.

WRITING SECTION

SWT – We have already seen as it should be improved. Now see the enabling
skills. Grammar and spelling are not good but vocabulary and written discourse
are good. So we have to improve grammar and spelling in SWT. Same applies to
essay as well.

R&W-FIB – This needs to be improved as the writing score is too low.

SST, L-FIB and WFD – All three are listening tasks and the listening score is
also very less. So we have to improve these as well. Similar to SWT, for SST as
well we have to improve only grammar and spelling.

LISTENING SECTION

We have already seen all the highlighted tasks of listening section in other
sections. So we have to improve all these as well. In summary, we have to
improve all the highlighted tasks, as this scorecard has low score in listening
and writing sections. For reading section, partial improvement is required for
ROP and R-FIBs but the rest of the tasks needs more priority. This is how we can
identify our weak areas in PTE.

Let us take another example to overcome PTE weak areas

SPEAKING SECTION

In this scorecard, speaking score is only 65 because both oral fluency and
pronunciation are low. So we need to improve all the highlighted tasks in
speaking section.

READING SECTION

Reading score is good but if we do good in RA as well, the score will be much
better than this. Check the writing score for SWT. As it is 81, SWT is good
because grammar, spelling, vocabulary and written discourse are good for writing
section.

ROP and R-FIB are also good as the reading score is good. R&W-FIB is good as
both reading and writing score are good.

HIW – Listening section is not affected by this task as the reading score is
good.

WRITING SECTION

SWT and ESSAY are good because enabling skills are good and R&W-FIB is also
good, that is why reading and writing scores have gone high. SST is also good
because enabling skills: grammar, spelling, vocabulary and written-discourse are
good. L-FIB is also good as this task contributes almost equal marks to both
reading and listening. WFD is good because if we don’t do well in WFD, the
listening and writing score will go down drastically.

LISTENING SECTION

RS and RL need improvement as both speaking and listening sections score is
less. SST is ok. L-FIB needs only partial improvement. WFD is good. In summary,
you have to improve the highlighted tasks for this scorecard. For speaking
section all the tasks need improvement and for listening section, RS and RL need
improvement.

We will quickly see one more scorecard




SPEAKING SECTION

Speaking score is too good as both oral fluency and pronunciation are good. In
this scorecard only 2 marks are less in listening section and missed 1 mark in
writing section.

READING SECTION

Reading score is good. So we can ignore the tasks in reading section except SWT.
So check only listening and writing related tasks in listening and writing
sections.

WRITING SECTION

SWT – Need improvement because grammar and spelling are not good. Essay is also
same issue. R&W-FIB is good because reading score is good.

LISTENING SECTION

SST needs improvement as again enabling skills is low, which is grammar and
spelling. L-FIB is good or may be one or couple of mistakes could be there.

WFD – Minor errors are there. Because if this is perfect then definitely it will
cross 79 even though SWT and SST are not good.

In summary, all the highlighted tasks need improvement.


CONCLUSION

So this is how we have to find your weak areas in PTE, but we cannot predict
exactly on where we have missed. This is just an overall view based on the
scores obtained. However, as I already said we have to concentrate all these
tasks even if we miss one or couple of marks in any of the modules. Because if
we concentrate more on one task then we may tend to lose in other tasks. Hence,
we will lose marks in other sections. This is just for our understanding
purpose.

After you get your result, just find where you would have missed and take some
extra effort on those tasks. But practice all these tasks just one more week and
take the test again. Because you just lost only 2 to 3 marks but you have
already practiced well. You need to brush up once again, that’s it.

Don’t lose your confidence, hope for the best and do well in your next attempt.
As I already mentioned don’t give much gap. Otherwise you have to start
preparation from the beginning. Well that’s all I have about PTE weak areas. I
hope after reading this post you will be able to identify what mistakes have you
done in your exam. As a result, it helps to improve in your next and final
attempt. All the best and have a nice journey in your future.
