PTE Reading Tips | What Should YOU Practice for 79? 📕

welcome back today we're going to talk about what you actually need to do in the exam in order to get 79 plus in your reading section what are the questions what are the things what are the mistakes how much you actually have to know to pass for 79 in reading so let's get started so the other day we posted we asked you guys our viewers what are the things that you're struggling with the most speaking listening reading writing so this way we can make videos for you guys that are actually helpful that actually will help you score 79 plus in your exam now we got like hundreds of votes and as you can see here somewhere here or here somewhere here you can see that most of you guys and girls struggle with the reading section and we've been talking about this for like a long time reading is becoming harder there's now like more than a thousand questions and you cannot just memorize you have to actually understand some things you have to know some grammar you cannot just download a question bank memorize 200 questions and get 79 like people used to in the past so i'm going to discuss in detail every single question in pte that gives you marks in the reading section how much you have to actually answer correctly in order to get your score let's get started now what you see over here behind me is the list of all the questions in pt that gives you marks in your reading section and there's a lot of them that people may be taken by surprise because if you've taken ielts or oet or toefl you only get marked in reading from reading whereas here i got so many different tasks that give me marks in the reading section for example read aloud comes from speaking summarized written text comes from writing reading and writing fill in the blanks multiple choice multiple answer reorder paragraphs reading fill in the blanks and multiple choice you single answer these are the actual reading questions themselves and then we got a highlight correct summary and highlight incorrect words from the listening section and actually let me make it a little bit easier speaking writing we got reading over here and we got listening over here now this is the reason why a lot of you guys and girls a lot of your friends and family members and acquaintances maybe they're struggling let's say in ielts to pass reading because you actually have to have a pretty good level of english right and if you struggle with reading it takes you a long time to improve your reading and comprehension whereas in pte because everything shares marks together if i'm really bad at reading but i work really really hard on the other parts and i'm dedicated and i'm committed and i do a lot of practice i can pass reading without improving my reading itself that much so first of all i want to mention the questions that you should not spend a lot of time on right and if we look over here multiple choice to single answer you can get them all totally wrong i promise you you get these all wrong you can still pass the test now multiple choices multiple answers it's gonna vary in terms of the number of marks depending on how many questions you had right and depending on how many options are correct as well but in order to get enough marks in your reading you just have to be able to get one out of two or one out of three meaning you are not expected to get all of them correct but you're expected to at least get one out of two or one out of three and my marker is dying so i'll have to use another one now let's look a few places where you should not make too many mistakes so what i mean is questions are not necessarily difficult if you know how to do them but you just can't afford to make a lot of mistakes so what are those questions highlight incorrect words okay everybody knows this question in listening they play an audio and every time the word in the audio is different from the text you have to click on it and you have to select it now typically in this one you get either four or five or six incorrect words per question again you're not expected to be perfect in this test to get 90 but you should be able to get either three out of four words or five out of six correct answers meaning if you missed one by accident it's not that big of a deal if you picked one extra and you got a negative mark it's not that big deal but you should be able to catch most of them and that comes down just to practice and to managing your time well now i want to cover two questions that have really good tricks and strategies that's something we explain to our students in the class so from my experience the students that we get here they don't struggle in this question that question being highlight correct summary and summarize written text those two questions combined again depending on the number of questions but you get almost five to ten percent in your reading section just from these two questions and when you know the right technique and the right strategy it's super simple so it's not that big of a concern for me at the moment now what are the things that you can work on and you can improve from home okay and we got a few different questions left we got read aloud which is part of your speaking we got reading and writing fill in the blanks we got reorder paragraphs and we got reading fill in the blanks now again i'm not expecting you to be perfect nobody in this exam is perfect and you guys can see lots of scores that we post every day we got students that get 19 19 1990 in all four sections but if you check their enabling skills sometimes they're 60 70 75 so how is it possible you didn't answer every question correctly but you still got 90. the reason why the exam is out of more than 90 and you got room to make mistakes so read it out again depends person to person some of you guys speak very clearly others maybe struggle a little bit so the good thing is this i'm going to do the following i'm going to put read aloud as number one okay i'm going to put both types of fill in the blanks i'm going to combine them together so i'm gonna make these number two and reorder paragraph number three and i know it's getting a little bit messy but just stick with me for a second so we got the first question which is read aloud the second question which is both types of fill in the blanks the reading and writing and the reading and question number three is reorder paragraphs this is what i tell to my students in class as well you don't need to be perfect at all three you can even be really really bad at one of them but you have to over compensate with the other two so what does that mean if i'm struggling in speaking and i'm mumbling and i can't speak very clearly and my read aloud is a disaster i should be able to do really well and fill in the blanks and reorder paragraphs meaning read a lot as low but the blanks and reorder paragraphs will actually make up for it and you should get enough marks right let's say my read aloud is really really good but i hate reorder paragraphs i cannot stand them i'm so bad at them right that means my fill in the blanks have to be pretty good so i do well and read a lot and fill in the blanks my reorders can be totally totally bad now let's say my blanks are not that good but i do well in read a lot and re-order paragraphs it will be enough to get 79 plus so let's get specifically into those three questions and i'm just going to erase this to make it a little bit easier to understand for you guys again number one we got read aloud number two we got the both types of blanks and number three we got reorder paragraphs okay so let's say you're not really bad at one particular thing but you're not perfect either what is the bare minimum that you need in order to pass and if you haven't watched our previous video about read aloud check the comment section check the description we will post the link but i mentioned from where you can practice your read a lot you have to be able to score 80 percent or above every time from first try now if you're scoring 80 and a buff this is gonna guarantee that you get the maximum content score towards your reading from your read aloud you don't need to get a hundred you don't need to get 99 as long as it's 80 plus you will get the marks now both fibs on average you have to be able to get three out of four four out of five or four out of six correct meaning i can make one mistake or sometimes even two mistakes per question if i get six blanks but ideally i don't want to be making more than one mistake per question and reorder paragraphs one of the most hated questions in pte sometimes you read it and it makes sense and sometimes you check the answer and it's like it's like it's like they're speaking another language so my expectation that anybody can learn to get two out of four pairs and two out of four pairs consistently in this question so if you do this keeping in mind the other questions that i mentioned earlier keeping in mind that you will make some mistakes this will be enough to get you 79 plus in your reading section now students that we get in the class they got something that's a little bit better meaning before their tests they do lots of mock tests they do lots of prediction files and we provide lots of materials so read aloud we help them fix together in the class this is really really simple really easy now both fill in the blanks again in the class we teach a lot of strategies and techniques and it takes time but once you understand them it's a lot easier even if you don't know the meaning of the words and typically when students go to the exam from the materials that we provide let's say in total they got 10 fill in the blank questions usually minimum they will get 3 to 4 out of 10 repeated assuming they've done all the practice that we gave them if somebody has done all of the practice and maybe more than once they might even get six sometimes even seven questions out of 10 repeated now imagine you go to your exam out of 10 questions five of them you've done before it's really really quick really simple because the questions you've done you can do in 20 seconds and you can save all the extra time to do the other questions which you've never seen before and same thing for reorder paragraphs the students we get here when they go to the real exam we can't promise them that every single thing will be repeated but usually at least one out of the two questions comes repeated from the materials that we provide so again if you do the work and you do the practice and you understand the techniques this one easily goes four out of four because you've done it before and a lot of these you'll be getting five out of five five out of six so it makes it a lot easier and this one it's very simple for us to fix regardless of how bad your pronunciation is so if you're sitting studying at home right now i hope this gives you some idea of how good you need to be for 79 plus so this is it for this video guys it means a lot to us and to our team if you click like right now and you click subscribe this is how we know that
