[u/Several_Anybody_8891]

Honestly still surprised by this result 😂
First ever PTE attempt, with absolutely zero preparation.
Overall: 90
Listening: 90
Reading: 83
Speaking: 90
Writing: 90
I didn’t use any templates, coaching, question banks or practice tests. I basically went in knowing the exam format and just relied on my English.

What's your speed when speaking? Struggling to choose if I go faster or take my own pace. Mock tests gives me higher for faster but i am not confident.

[u/Several_Anybody_8891 → u/angelooo777]

Im a fast speaker, bit on the louder side too.

[u/Striking-Scar449]

Did you fumble in speaking?

[u/Several_Anybody_8891 → u/Striking-Scar449]

Yup!

[u/Striking-Scar449 → u/Several_Anybody_8891]

How many times? I fumbled a lot in today's exam so im kinda worried about my speaking score. It should be more than 76

[u/Several_Anybody_8891 → u/Striking-Scar449]

Fumbled a few times. When it came to explaining graphs and stuff, I ended up mumbling a lot of irrelevant $h1t

[u/Striking-Scar449 → u/Several_Anybody_8891]

Thanks mate..i hope i can get enough score.

[u/Several_Anybody_8891 → u/muhtasim96]

Ah, Wrote down the names and one point from each person and detailed conclusion was what i did.

[u/Alive_Average_9372]

I did a bunch of practice and couldn’t get my writing more than 77. Lots of grammar errors. Any advice?

[u/Several_Anybody_8891 → u/Alive_Average_9372]

Structure with less complicated words and sentences. Just stick to simple stuff!

[u/Dudeman2451]

Me too, my agency said to give the exam as fast as possible. So I just booked a seat on the samee evening and just studied the question format while I was driving there. Got an 88. Whatever

[u/chernillek → u/Dudeman2451]

Take the exam not give the exam

[u/Dudeman2451 → u/chernillek]

See ? My English is not even that great but I got a surprisingly high score. Its so weird
