Even though it is a computer-based test, some test-takers find it anxious when sitting in front of the computer, and there is a proctor observing the whole time. The reason primarily is that it is their first English proficiency test ever. Therefore, there are so many things that stress them out. 

Our members have experienced and undergone the same stressful stage. Thus, we summarize the most common issues so you can learn and avoid them on your test day to successfully secure your PTE dream scores.

Let’s check them out and stop all exam nerves in the beginning. 

1. Be prepared

Everything needs preparation, and our Pearson Test of English is no exception. Hence, we need to commit to a study plan and keep track of our progress regularly to get what we desire in the days to come. 

But how do you prepare yourself effectively? Our recommendation is to thoroughly understand your English proficiency level and know your desired scores. Because how can you prepare yourself without knowing where you are and where you want to go?

2. Think positive 

Thinking positively helps test-takers maintain great mental health, so you can totally concentrate on your improvement. You may practice thinking positively like, “I only need 65+ overall scores in 8 weeks; just practice every day because it’s not difficult to obtain if I follow my study plan strictly”. 

Besides, knowing your weaknesses is also a great way to stay optimistic because you can learn from your mistakes and improve them on a daily basis. The only way to identify your weaknesses is to practice and have feedback on your proficiency. Never forget that your PTE Practice Platform offers instant feedback for all question types and you are able to check your answers immediately after submitting them.

 

3. Ask for support

Do not be shy to ask for support; everybody does. So many people took the test before you, so you should ask around for help. Ask as many questions as you want to boost your confidence and help you prepare yourself better. 

We have two communities on Facebook and Telegram (users get an invitation after creating their FREE account) to support international test-takers; feel free to join any community as you wish. In our communities, you have opportunities to receive special offers on the PTE Practice Platform besides clarifying your concerns. 

 

4. Practice with others

Practising speaking with other partners is one of the best ways to enhance speaking skills. Speaking is always one of the most challenging skills among others in any English proficiency test, so test-takers should pay close attention to them every day.

Students can also find speaking partners in our communities. Simply go post your needs and ask if anyone’s interested in practising. For the best outcome, students ought to recommend how often should they communicate, and what should they talk about on a weekly basis or in every session.

 

5. Reward yourself 

You must stay positive and strong as it helps you keep your study plan on track and not stressful. Thus, offering yourself a small reward such as watching a movie at night, drinking a favorite cup, or playing a video game would be truly beneficial for your mental health.
