Of the four communicative skills evaluated in the PTE exam, writing is the one test takers neglect the most during their preparation period. And, it’s not always because they’re confident with their abilities. More often than not, it’s because they’re not enthused with the idea of staring at a blank document file and practicing their writing skills. If you identify with these people, don’t worry. There are ways to make the experience more enticing and productive.

Re-order Paragraphs is the third task type of the PTE Reading exam. Here’s how it works.     The page will be divided into two tables. The table on the left is titled “Sources” and is made up of texts arranged randomly. The table on the right is titled “Target” and is made up of blank boxes.      You must rearrange the texts on the left side so that they’d flow logically. To do so, you must move the text boxes to the right table. Left-click a text box to select it (its outline will turn blue). Then, transfer it to your desired location on the right table.     You can deselect a box by left-clicking any part of the page.

PTE Speaking Test: Read Aloud In this PTE speaking test, your task is to read a text aloud from the computer screen. You have 30–40 seconds to prepare, and the recording time depends on the length of the text. You will see a recording status box that shows a countdown until the microphone opens. You will hear a short tone indicating that you can now start reading the text aloud. You must end reading the text before the progress bar touches the end. Remember that you can only record your response once, and if you remain quiet for longer than 3 seconds, the recording will immediately stop. There are 6–7 items for this speaking task.

Fill in the Blanks is the third task type of the PTE listening exam. Here’s how it works. First, you must listen to an audio material that’ll automatically play seven seconds after you enter the page. Then, you must fill in the gaps of an incomplete transcript of the recording.
