Skill
Speaking
Read aloud: the highest-value item in the exam
It feeds reading AND speaking, it is completely predictable, and most students throw marks away on it.
Foundation
9 min
Repeat sentence: one item, two scores
You hear a sentence and say it back. It feeds both the speaking and the listening score.
Core
8 min
Describe image and retell lecture: say the content words
The software is listening for the words that belong to that content. Fluency without content scores badly.
Advanced
9 min
Skill
Writing
Summarise written text: one sentence, and it must be one sentence
A single sentence of 5 to 75 words. Two sentences score zero for form, whatever the content.
Core
9 min
The PTE essay: a machine is reading it, and that is useful
200 to 300 words in twenty minutes, marked by an engine — so structure and range score, and cleverness does not.
Core
9 min
Skill
Listening
Write from dictation: the cheapest marks in PTE
A short sentence, played once, typed exactly. It feeds listening and writing, and it is pure practice.
Core
8 min
Summarise spoken text, and the short listening items
A written summary of a lecture, and four short items where the negative-marking rule decides your strategy.
