DESCRIBE IMAGE TIPS


Hi,
please find the revert below
1- In this section answers are usually of one word so i would suggest no to use any fillers rather
provide them the one word answer
2- For describe image always start like - "By looking at this picture or graph we can very clearly
say that ......" now tell about after this immediately speak about the highest and lowest point and
then the mid level point and at the end summarise the same again......and Whoa.....you have end
up spending 32-35 seconds with a great frequency and with almost using more than half of the
keywords used in the question.
In the last its better to end with thts all from this graph, thanks."
All the Best!!

In regard to other parts of PTE-A exam:


1. Writing: I think the scoring is somewhat more lenient. Also, personally, I think it is more
appropriate for me because I can just type (wayyy faster than writing by hand). It is usually my
downfall in IELTS, but I got 89 for this section even in the mock test.
Just follow the usual method in IELTS essay and you should be fine.
2. Reading: It's slightly more difficult than IELTS-Academic if not pretty much the same, but
definitely much harder than IELTS-General.
I kinda struggle with reorder paragraph, but other sections seem fine. Although occasionally fill in
the blanks may be a bit confusing too. Just do a lot of practise.
3. Listening: It's quite easy, tbh. Just listen very carefully. Take notes if needed.
I find it helpful to jot down the main points for choose multiple answers, or else I might forget.
