How to Achieve a Perfect Score of 90/90 in PTE Writing?

Updated: Sep 26

Pearson Test of English or PTE is an English Language Proficiency Test and a popular alternative to IELTS. Institutions worldwide acknowledge and accept it. It consists of 4 sections: Speaking, Writing, Reading, and Listening. It is a short 2-hour test and is conducted on the computer in a single slot. The total score is 90, and generally, students aiming for higher education need a 65, while candidates applying for Permanent Residency need a 79.

In this blog, we are going to share some tips that can help students reach a 90/90 in the Writing Section of PTE. For improvement in the Speaking Section of PTE, read our blog "Score 90/90 in PTE Speaking Section" (Link given below).

The Writing Section of PTE consists of 2 types of questions:

1. Summarize Written Text, in which students have to write a one-sentence summary of the given text in 10 minutes.

2. Essay Writing, in which students have to write an essay containing 200 to 300 words in 20 minutes.

Students can consider the following points to score well in this section:

1. In the PTE Writing Section, students have to type. Thus, they must practice regularly to build typing speed and accuracy. They can use a notepad application to type and then take a print to check for typos.

2. For Summarize Spoken Text, students should practice skimming as that will help them extract important information from the passage quickly.

3. They should also practice conjunctions to be able to write the whole summary in one sentence.

4. For the essay part, students should grasp the structure, which includes an introduction, 2-3 body paragraphs, and a conclusion.

5. Reading a lot of sample essays can help them enhance the quality of their ideas, sentence formation, and vocabulary.

6. Typing 200-300 words in 20 minutes, that too accurately, can be challenging. Students must practice typing a few essays within that time frame before the exam.

7. Kindly note that in the PTE Writing section, it is the ACCURACY that matters the most. Accuracy in TYPING, accuracy in GRAMMAR, and accuracy in VOCABULARY.

8. Basic errors in spacing, spellings, singular & plural, pronouns, tenses, punctuation, etc., can drastically reduce the score.

9. Students must not experiment with unfamiliar sentence structures and vocabulary in the exam. Avoidance of errors is the key.

10. Awareness of the scoring pattern can help in setting better goals. Thus, do refer to the score guide for the Summary and Essay to have a greater understanding of what is expected.

11. Many students use templates in the writing section, which is fine as long as the students can implement them well. The outcome after using the templates should be error-free and connected to the topic in the summary and essay.

12. Taking a mock test before the final day can help students get feedback on their performance and feel more confident. For the mock test, they can either take the online test available on the Pearson website from their homes or do it physically at our office at a nominal charge.

By implementing the above recommendations, students can definitely set the path for a 90/90.

All the best!
