We have unique 80:20 formats for PTE for three items in PTE, where you can use 80% of our format (just 14 almost identical sentences) and 20% your own writing (around 32 words! YES, ONLY words, and NOT sentences) in the actual test. These formats are designed in such a manner that you cannot go wrong and can score 90 (9 band) in those respective sections. Our Speaking formats are designed to enhance “fluency”, and to avoid “fillers” and “hesitations”. JMSPTE has the track record of the highest increase in the “Speaking Score” for the students. The questions asked in the actual PTE exams are highly repetitive in nature. We have taken extra efforts to extensively interview our students to gather maximum questions from their memory immediately after their exams and constructed a repeated questions bank. This question bank is a part of our study materials and will immensely help you in your actual exam.
Are You a First Time Test Taker?
PTE is a simple exam to pass if you get the correct guidance. It can be very difficult, if you are misguided. For example, many renowned training providers suggest you to “speak like a native English speaker”. But, this is an absolute and pure nonsense!

5 Myths About PTE
You cannot press backspace in your PTE writing
This is again a wrong piece of information. You can use backspace in writing and the same is allowed. PTE Pearson never said in any of their official score guidelines that usage of backspace will result in less marks. We have asked students
Expertise in Computer
PTE is a computer-based exam. But, you need not be a computer expert to write PTE exam. You need to have the basic understanding of the computer, or you just need to have a basic working knowledge of the computer for you to write this exam.
You need to speak LOUDER and FASTER in PTE exam
This is again wrong. You need not require to speak louder in PTE exam to score good marks. You need to speak in your natural volume or at a normal volume for you to score good in your PTE speaking exam. This is true again for the speed. You need not require to speak faster in PTE exam to score good marks. You need to speak in your natural speed or at a normal speed for you to score good in your PTE speaking exam
PTE Pearson can selectively fail you
This is complete non sense. PTE Pearson is a highly reputed institution and they do not need to involve in any unethical practice. PTE Academic is a computer-based exam, and they will never be able to selectively fail any student, as the same will result in electronic traces, which can be challenged by the student. In fact, there is no reason for PTE Pearson to selectively fail any student for that matter.!
Native English Pronunciation
You NEED NOT required speak like a Native English Speaker for you to get a 9 band in PTE exam. In fact, PTE is conducted mainly for non-native English speaker. If any website or any online English “GURUS” are asking you to speak like a Native English Speaker, then it is PURE IGNORANCE of those ENGLISH GURUS. Or may be it is a marketing scaring strategy. They want to scare you about pronunciation. The fact is that you can have “pure non-native English Pronunciation”, and still can get 90 in your Speaking. We advise you not to go with the definitions of the English GURUS, but with the definition of pronunciation of PTE Pearson. PTE Pearson defined pronunciation as Ability to produce speech sounds in a way that is easily understandable to most regular speakers of the language. Regional or national pronunciation variants are considered correct to the degree that they are understandable to most regular speakers of the language.
