In this video, I explain that there have been no changes to the PTE test itself, but the human involvement in scoring has increased, especially for speaking and writing sections. I discuss why your scores may be fluctuating and offer tips to improve, like changing your templates and focusing on content. I also advise against rescoring and recommend getting your mock tests checked by a teacher before booking your next exam.

Many students panic when they see a map in Describe Image. The secret is simple: don't try to explain every detail. Focus on the title, identify the colours, describe the migration directions, and finish with a clear overall summary.

When you get a diagram like this in Describe Image, don’t panic by looking at too many labels. First, quickly look at the main topic. Here, the image is about the structure of the Earth.

You can see the Earth is divided into different layers such as the crust, mantle, outer core and inner core. The image also shows the oceanic crust, continental crust, upper mantle, lower mantle and the Mohorovičić discontinuity.

For PTE, you don’t need to explain every scientific detail. Just speak clearly, connect 3–4 main points, and finish with a simple conclusion.

Sample answer:

The image describes the internal structure of the Earth. It shows different layers, including the crust, mantle, outer core and inner core. It also provides information about the oceanic crust, continental crust, upper mantle and lower mantle. It is clear that the Earth has several layers from the surface to the centre. After analysing this image, it can be concluded that the diagram explains the main parts of the Earth’s structure.

That is how you score in Describe Image.

I explain why relying on templates for exams is no longer effective. While using a structured approach to organize your answers is fine, simply memorizing and repeating templates won't get you the score you want. Instead, I emphasize that success depends on pure content—answering questions with relevant examples, using academic vocabulary, and actually listening to and understanding the material. Whether it's essay writing, describing images, or retelling lectures, you need to focus on what you're actually saying and writing. I encourage you to practice this way, use tools like ChatGPT to create your own structure, and have teachers or friends review your work to ensure your content is strong.

One mistake I see almost every day in Repeat Sentence is that students are in a hurry to finish. The moment the audio stops, they start speaking immediately because they think finishing quickly will somehow improve their score. It won't.

There is no prize for being the first person to click Submit.

If you struggle with Repeat Sentence, slow yourself down. Close your eyes if it helps, repeat the sentence twice in your head, and make sure the words are clear before you speak. If you're someone who benefits from taking notes, write down a few key words first. Those extra few seconds can make a huge difference.

Remember, Pearson is not scoring how fast you answer. It is scoring how accurately you reproduce the sentence. A student who takes an extra five seconds to organise their thoughts often scores much higher than someone who rushes and forgets half the sentence.

Train yourself to stay calm under pressure. Confidence comes from control, not speed. The next time you hear a Repeat Sentence, resist the urge to rush. Think first, speak second, and only click Submit when you've given yourself the best chance to score.

Sometimes, slowing down is actually the fastest way to improve your PTE score.

This is the type of image you may get in PTE Describe Image.

Don’t panic when you see a world map, colours, numbers, and scientific words. First, look at the title: **Global Warming Predictions**. Then quickly notice the main point: the map shows predicted temperature increases from 2070 to 2100 compared with the 1960–1990 average.

A simple answer can be:

“The image describes global warming predictions around the world. It shows temperature increases from 0 to 8 degrees Celsius. It is clear that many regions, especially parts of South America, North America, Europe, Africa and Asia, may experience significant warming. The darker red areas show higher temperature increases, while the lighter areas show lower increases. Overall, the image suggests that global warming will affect almost every part of the world in the future.”

In PTE, you don’t need to explain everything like a scientist. You just need to speak clearly, cover the title, main trend, key colours, and conclusion.

Simple structure. Clear voice. No panic.

🚨 PTE SWT STUDENTS: STOP PICKING SENTENCES RANDOMLY! 🚨

✅ How to find repeated keywords
✅ How to select supporting sentences that stay on topic
✅ Which sentences to avoid
✅ How to identify the conclusion correctly
✅ A proven strategy to score higher in SWT
