Read Aloud Tips and Tricks

• Speak clearly: Whatever you speak, speak clearly so that recorder can capture it properly.
  
  
• Take a pause: Don't speak in one breath. Take appropriate pauses at commas and full stops.
  
  
• Speak at a medium pace: PTE Test centres have high-quality and sensitive headphones with a mic. Don't speak too loudly or too slowly. It is okay to speak at a normal pace. You'll get better results.
  
  
• Use proper headphones for practice: The PTE exam will be conducted wearing high-quality headphones with a mic. You should get used to it before appearing for the exam.
  
  
• Don't correct yourself while speaking: If you make a mistake in speaking a few words, just keep reading the next words and don't go back to correct the pronunciation of the previous words. Otherwise, it'll heavily affect your Fluency and Pronunciation score.
  
  
• Prepare yourself in advance: Practice pronunciation of difficult words in 35 seconds given before the actual recording starts.
  
  
• Maintain the flow: Read the sentence in the proper flow. A sentence with the question mark (?) should be read as a question and not like a simple flat sentence. Takes care of the sentence flow.
  
  
• Skip/Alter difficult words: Don't speak or alter the word you don't know how to pronounce rather than trying to speak and breaking your flow.
  
  
• Cover 75% content: You should speak at least 75% of the given text with proper pronunciation and fluency to achieve your desired PTE score.
