Achieving a perfect score of 90/90 in the PTE Academic exam is the dream of many test-takers. While it may seem like a challenging goal, with the right guidance, strategy, and dedication, it is absolutely attainable. At Vision Language Experts, we’ve helped numerous students reach their desired PTE scores — including the coveted 90/90 — and we’re here to guide you through every step of your journey.

In this blog, we break down exactly what it takes to score full marks in the PTE and provide you with actionable tips and techniques to make it possible.

Understanding the PTE Scoring System

Before diving into strategies, it's essential to understand how the PTE scoring system works. The Pearson Test of English (PTE) Academic assesses your English language proficiency in four major modules:

• Speaking
• Writing
• Reading
• Listening

Each section contributes to your overall score, which ranges from 10 to 90 points. The exam uses automated scoring, which evaluates grammar, vocabulary, fluency, pronunciation, and content quality. That means consistent, high-level performance across all tasks is crucial.

Step-by-Step Strategy to Score 90/90 in PTE

1. Start with a Diagnostic Test

At Vision Language Experts, we recommend every student take a full-length mock test before beginning their preparation. This helps:

• Identify your current level
• Highlight weak areas
• Set a clear roadmap for your study plan

Use this test to analyze your time management, accuracy, and familiarity with the test format.

2. Master the Speaking Section

A high score in Speaking contributes not only to the Speaking module but also boosts your Listening and Reading scores due to interlinked tasks.

Key Tips:

• Read Aloud: Focus on clarity, pronunciation, and rhythm. Practice with academic texts to improve fluency.
• Repeat Sentence: Sharpen your memory and pronunciation. Use intonation similar to native speakers.
• Describe Image: Use a structured template (Introduction → Key Features → Conclusion). Speak continuously and confidently.
• Retell Lecture: Take structured notes (key ideas, examples, and conclusion) and retell using linking phrases.
• Answer Short Questions: Improve general knowledge and common responses. Speak clearly with proper pronunciation.
• 🔍 Pro Tip: Practice daily with AI tools or platforms like the ones at Vision Language Experts to get real-time pronunciation feedback.

3. Perfect Your Writing Skills

The Writing section includes Summarize Written Text and Essay Writing. These tasks test grammar, sentence structure, vocabulary, and coherence.

Key Tips:

• Summarize Written Text: Keep responses between 5–75 words. Use one compound or complex sentence that captures the main idea.
• Essay Writing: Use a consistent structure (Introduction, Body Paragraphs, and Conclusion). Stick to a word count of 250–280. Use formal vocabulary, linking words, and avoid grammatical errors.
• ✍️ Pro Tip: At Vision Language Experts, we offer expert-reviewed writing feedback so you know exactly where to improve.

4. Sharpen Your Reading Techniques

The Reading module has various question types like Fill in the Blanks, Re-order Paragraphs, and Multiple-Choice Questions.

Key Tips:

• Reading & Writing: Fill in the Blanks: Focus on collocations and grammar rules. Practice vocabulary daily.
• Re-order Paragraphs: Learn logical connectors and pronoun referencing. Look for chronological or cause-effect clues.
• Reading: Fill in the Blanks: Build your knowledge of common English expressions and sentence structure.
• 📚 Pro Tip: Use our PTE Reading Practice Portal for unlimited targeted practice with real-time scoring and feedback.

5. Boost Your Listening Accuracy

The Listening module challenges your ability to understand various accents, speech rates, and academic topics.

Key Tips:

• Summarize Spoken Text: Practice structured note-taking. Write down the main idea, supporting points, and examples.
• Fill in the Blanks: Improve your typing speed and spelling. Listen for context clues.
• Highlight Correct Summary & MCQs: Skim answer choices before listening. Eliminate wrong choices quickly.
• Write from Dictation: Aim for 100% accuracy in spelling, grammar, and word order.
• 🎧 Pro Tip: Use Vision Language Experts' listening practice tests and daily dictation sessions to enhance auditory comprehension.

Time Management Is the Key

Many students lose marks not due to lack of knowledge, but due to poor time management. Practice under timed conditions and set benchmarks for each section.

For example:

• Speaking: 25–30 minutes
• Writing: 30–40 minutes
• Reading: 30–35 minutes
• Listening: 30–45 minutes

🎯 Tip: Always move on quickly if you're unsure — guessing wisely is better than wasting time.

Practice with Real Test Environment

Your brain needs to be trained to perform under pressure. This means:

• Taking regular mock tests
• Reviewing your performance
• Improving based on feedback
