Some Important Notes When Taking the PTE Exam

• Check the mic and headphones
• This is an important part, greatly affecting the quality of the test. Testing the mic and headphones needs to be done very carefully and can be repeated many times until you feel satisfied.
• Test
• The work of each section, especially the parts that must be written down (such as Summarize Written Text, Essay, Summarize Spoken Text, Listening – Fill In Blanks, Write From Dictation), need to carefully check each word when finished, to make sure there are no spelling errors or word shortages, or presentation errors such as forgetting to capitalize at the beginning or end of a sentence, leading to a regrettable loss of marks.
• Time management
• This is what teachers recommend, but there are cases where there is not enough time for important exams like Essay or rite from Dictation. Therefore, you need to regularly look at the countdown timer on the right of the screen to adjust the test time appropriately.
