them before even starting the Preparation.

the test.

This 2nd day is the day you start with the follow crucial sections, these will help
you make sure you build a solid foundation for your test.
www.ptemagicpractice.com info@ptemagic.com.au
DAY 2: BUILDING THE FOUNDATION
Write from Dictation and Repeat Sentence
Key to Success: Most Repeated Question + HARD WORK
You have to make sure you do it to your best by learning from Repeated
Question from the Online Platform (www.ptemagicpractice.com). If your
platform does not have it, or you do not have a Platform, then SORRY, your
chance of passing is EXTREMELY LOW.
Don’t Forget to Use the ALTERNATIVE method in this section to score your full
mark.
It does not matter whether you target 50 or 79, everyone has to learn the
REPEATED QUESTIONs (~200 sentences by heart)
PRACTICE:
Do as many as possible. Minimum 30/day
• Repeat Sentence
Don’t be afraid or panic when you do this. Remember this section has long and
short sentences. Your job is to make sure all of the sentences will be repeated
with more than half.
This section does NOT required FAST SPEED, it requires CLEAR PRONUNCIATION
and CALMNESS.
Listen to a sentence, organize that sentence in your head and CAREFULLY SPEAK
OUT. Ignore Grammar and Logics.
PRACTICE:
Do at least 50 RS/day

Day 3: KEEP DRIVING FORWARD
This 3rd day you need to continue practicing on what you’ve done on Day 1,
but also increase the work to complete day 2.
This day is more about Listening and note-taking.
www.ptemagicpractice.com info@ptemagic.com.au
Retell Lecture & Summarize Spoken Text
• Summarize Spoken Text
This section for target 50 or below, you can apply RL template as well. Keep in
mind this section requires “ACCURATE GRAMMAR”, I said “Accurate – Not Fancy”.
Remember the requirement is 70 words do don’t exceed the limit.
Take note as much as possible, preferably ideas over keywords, but again it
depends on your note-taking skills and the level of difficulty of the audio.
Try to write as similarly to the audio as possible.
ONCE AGAIN, GRAMMAR – GRAMMAR – GRAMMAR.
PPRACTICE:
o Do 10 RL/day
o Get your trainer to provide feedback
www.ptemagicpractice.com info@ptemagic.com.au
Essay & Summarize Written Text
Key to success: Template, Techniques and GRAMMAR.
• Essay
Template! Template! Template! This is everything you need to successfully
pass this exam. Unless your writing is proficient then you can write in your
free style, but DO NOT FORGET – it’s only 20 minutes.
The REPEATED QUESTION on the PLATFORM will have 20 questions from
which you will DEFINITELY get one of them for your real exam (well! Unless
you’re extremely unlucky, or you did not practice all of them)
Learn the difference between ideas and example.
GOOD TIP: Try to make up your example so that it sounds more specific
(number, figures, names, etc.) though it could be fake.

DAY 4: TAKE A SHORT BREAK & MOVE ON
On this day, you can relax and take a break by cutting down half of your workload
from Day 2 & 3. I said “REDUCE” not “REMOVE” so continue to practice from Day
2 & 3.
The things you learn today will also require no assistance from your trainer, so
you can spend a bit of time for yourself.
www.ptemagicpractice.com info@ptemagic.com.au
FIB- Reading & Writing & FIB – Reading
• FIB – Reading
Similar to FIB RW, you choose the right answer but by dragging and dropping.

ones. Spend NO MORE than 3’ on each question.

ALSO, do NOT FORGET that you continue to work on your Day 2 & 4 mainly, ignore
Day 3 for now. These sections for todays are only important for Target 79~90. So if
you aim target 65 or below, don’t worry too much. Just learn how to do this, then
spend your time practicing.
• FIB-Listening
This section requires your note-taking skills. You have to listening and take-note
as the same time
GOOD TIPS: Eyes NEVER off the screen. Before clicking NEXT, DOUBLE CHECK the
SPELLING & GRAMMAR of those words.

1~3 boxes that any student can do.

from the text
GOOD TIPS: NEVER CLICK if you are NOT SURE about that word. It has Negative
Marking. And you can rest easy on Numbers, Figures, Names, or Special
Terminologies, they won’t put the wrong words there. YOU NEED A PLATFORM
to PRACTICE this.
PRACTICE:
o Do 20 HIW
o Make sure you don’t click any WRONG options
(try to protect your score)

Re-order Paragraphs & Answer Short Question (*PTE90)
Key to success: Quick-thinking, Decisiveness
• Re-order Paragraphs
With this section, you need to quickly put the random paragraphs into a
logical ORDER. Remember, you SHOULD NOT spend OVER 3’ for each
question.
GOOD TIPS: Try to go through each paragraph first, try to UNDERSTAND the
GENERAL MEANING only, not DETAILS, and Find out the first box. LINKING
WORDS are normally placed 3rd or 4th Box. YOU NEED A PLATFORM to
PRACTICE this.
PRACTICE:
o Do 10 ROP
www.ptemagicpractice.com info@ptemagic.com.au
• Multiple-Choice Questions (*PTE90)
Key to success: Understanding! Don’t be overthinking.

Multiple Answer or Single Answer. ONLY CHOOSE ONE. WHY? Ask your
trainer!
PRACTICE:
Do 2-3 questions for each type
www.ptemagicpractice.com info@ptemagic.com.au
DAY 6: HIT THE FIELD
This day will be spent on doing your mock test. You have to undertake your
mock test to examine and position your level and best predict your
outcome. Make sure you do the MOCK TEST under strict conditions
including: No phone or Facebook, no disturbing noise, no Pausing or even
listening to YOUTUBE, no help from Grammarly or any type of
spell/grammar assistance.
www.ptemagicpractice.com info@ptemagic.com.au
The Mock Test on MAGIC PLATFORM will automatically save itself so You
DON’T HAVE to record it.
Once you finish your test, quickly rewrite how you perform it and wait for the
result to come out.
As soon as the result come out, send it to your trainer and ask for feedback.
The trainer will go through the Mock Test with you.
Take note of what they trainer advises you to Improve.
www.ptemagicpractice.com info@ptemagic.com.au
DAY 7: REVISE and GOOD-BYE (or RETRY)
On this day, it is important for you to remember that, your exam is coming soon.
If your exam is due tomorrow, there is no need and no point undertaking
another test or practicing intensively on any sections.
What you need to do on this day is to revise what the trainer has advised you
about your performance. Go back to what you have done well and reinforce the
skills. For what you have done bad, carefully go through it one more time but
REMEMBER NOT TO STRESS on it too much. Your exam is tomorrow and you
need to be in your best shape. BE OPTISMISTIC and BE CONFIDENT.
GOING TO BED EARLY is a good way to prepare you for your big day.
THINK POSITIVELY and TRUST YOURSELF.
1-hour BEFORE the Test, Speak over a few RA and DI to warm up your mouth.
If your test is not due tomorrow, you should repeat this cycle and give yourself
another try on the MOCK TEST until you pass.

Conclusion
It is the same for everyone when it comes to dealing with exam or facing a
challenge. However, never forget that an exam is never the destination. It is
solely an instantaneous capture of where you are at (like a screenshot). You
might be doing very well or you just somehow do not show your best (like a silly
pose for a photo). And FAILURE ISN’T THE END OF THE WORD. Believe in
yourself, work your hardest, do your best and leave the rest to God. Never
Regret!
At PTE MAGIC, we believe that each person has the power to make things
better. And WE BELIEVE IN YOU! YES – You Can Do It.
