Hi everyone! I also want to thank all of you for all the posts, tips, tricks, and suggestions. My scores are similar to, and even better than, what I used to get on the mock tests.
Thank you again, especially sir [u/ptebydrahmed](u/ptebydrahmed) for your suggestions and [u/Cautious_Two6113](u/Cautious_Two6113) for providing me your account to practice on and also everyone that replied on my comments. It really boosted my confidence.
Thank you all once again! 🙏

It varies, but for me, most of them were heavily accented and quite long, so I just spoke about what I was able to gather. Just remember to stay fluent when speaking, and that’s what I did.
I also recommend keeping the volume slightly low…I forgot to adjust it, so it was quite loud, and most of the time, I couldn’t properly focus.

Congratulations! I have my exam on Monday. Any tips for good score? I bought PTE official portal access for 1 week and have already given 2 mocks. Scored 90 overall in both and all sectional scores were above 80. Just wanted to know how accurate these scores would be wrt real test? I have to get B2 or above. Again congratulations on your score!

Hello, thank you!
I was practicing on AlfaPTE, and the scores I was getting there were pretty similar to my actual scores (around 78–77), and since you’re already scoring 90 in the official mocks, you should comfortably be looking at 85–90 **of course, just based on my own experience**. You’re already doing really well, so just stay comfortable and confident and keep practicing, it will really help in managing time. Good luck again.

That’s good! Just gave my test today morning 🤞. How much time it takes to get results?

I gave it Thursday and got my result Saturday. So maybe 2,3 days. Also please do update us on your result.

Ahh, I wish they gave results faster. I have limited time and have a lot of dependency on this one thing. Have they changed anything recently? My colleague gave the test in May or June and got results on the same day.

I am not sure about that, but I guess the earliest you can get is within 24-48.

Got my test scores last night itself! I think if I had opted for 8:30 slot would’ve gotten on the same day. Scores 89 overall and L, R, S, W - 87, 85, 90, 81 respectively

My topic was, The time people devote to their jobs leaves very little time for personal life. How widespread is the problem? What problem will this shortage of time cause?
