Key Scoring Factors to Remember for PTE Writing Practice

Know on what traits your response is scored.

Content

Ensure you capture all the essential points from the audio. The response should reflect the core message, with no important details missing. The more accurate and complete your content is, the higher your score.

Form

Stick to the response format as per the task requirements (e.g., summarizing, completing sentences, answering questions). Using the correct form is crucial for a high score, as deviating from the specified format can result in deductions.

Grammar

Proper grammar is essential for clarity. Use correct sentence structures, verb tenses, prepositions, and articles. Even minor grammatical mistakes can impact your score, so aim for accuracy and coherence in your responses.

Vocabulary

Choose words that are appropriate for the context of the audio. Using a variety of vocabulary while maintaining relevance can boost your score. Repetition of words or using incorrect vocabulary will lower your score, so aim for diversity and precision.

Spelling

Correct spelling is critical, especially for tasks that require written responses. Even a small spelling mistake can result in a loss of points. Double-check your answers to ensure all words are spelled correctly.
