1:16All right, without any further delay,
1:18let's straight away get right into the
1:20video PT reading stack at six days how
1:22to fix. Here we start. Now let's
1:24understand what would be the major
1:26reasons because of which your reading
1:27marks can definitely go down. The first
1:29major reason could be the summarized
1:31written text. Remember for PT academic
1:33or for PT summarized written text
1:35contributes a massive amount of marks
1:37towards your reading and writing
1:38separately. It's not just writing even
1:40to reading you get a lot of marks
1:42approximately 18 to 20 marks to your
1:45reading module from PTE summarize
1:47written text. But let's say you are
1:48someone who is still relying on old
1:50techniques randomly taking two sentences
1:52or three sentences or four sentences.
1:54Sentence one in the beginning, sentence
1:56one in the middle, sentence three and
1:57four towards the end. This may not be
1:59the right way to do it. You may end up
2:01losing some two or three marks just like
2:03that from one summarized written text
2:05meaning two summarized written text
2:06easily six or five to six marks. You're
2:09just like that lose from summarized
2:10written text towards your reading
2:11section. So how do we fix it? Recently I
2:13made many videos on the same. We also
2:15have upgraded our portal with a smart
2:17summarize written text tool. So let me
2:19give you an analysis on what people are
2:20doing through our portal. If you
2:22randomly take some three or four
2:23sentences what marks you would get and
2:25how to fix it. We will just show you a
2:28small demonstration through our portal
2:29skills with.com. Here we go. All right.
2:31Randomly I'll uh take up a question. The
2:33rise of electric vehicle. There are many
2:35sentences. I'll just apply sentence one
2:38and sentence two semicolon. Sentence
2:40three comma but or comma and sentence
2:41for full stop. I'll take random
2:43sentences.
2:45This is my first sentence.
2:47Comma
2:49and
2:51and this is my probably I'll take up
2:53this
2:55lengthy sentence
2:58already 48 words. This is going to be
3:00semicolon.
3:03Then I'll take this up
3:07already 70 words. So I'll put a full
3:08stop. I've written 70 words and taken
3:10three big sentences and let's see how
3:13much marks uh do I get. This may not be
3:15the right way to do henceforth. You
3:16would get less marks towards your
3:19writing and reading both. See there two
3:21out of four for the content uh two
3:23questions four to five marks just like
3:24that con you may think it's just four to
3:26five marks. You still have problems in
3:28reading fill in the blank reading
3:29writing fill in the blank reorder the
3:31paragraph many more things to add on.
3:33This may not be the right way to do um
3:35we also have given you the ideal perfect
3:37summary. It's just 38 words but see what
3:40all content it has and if you click on
3:42the analysis only 35.3% of the ideas we
3:45are covering when you just copy paste
3:47randomly. So let me just quickly show
3:49you the right way to do let's restart.
3:52So now we will highlight few of the
3:53things uh well in the exam you will not
3:55be able to highlight this way but try
3:57imprinting it in your mind. Electric
3:59vehicles are revolutionizing the
4:00transportation industry offering cleaner
4:03sustainable alternatives to traditional
4:04gasoline powered cars. I'll take that
4:05up. electricity stored in batteries and
4:08then I continue to highlight EV produce
4:09zero emissions while driving making them
4:11environmental friendly combating air
4:13pollution reducing the effects of
4:14climate change fossil fuel depletion
4:17electric vehicles have gained popularity
4:19this is what I will write in my sentence
4:21one more attention sentence one and
4:24sentence two semicolon sentence 3 comma
4:28and sentence four full stop sentence one
4:30and two with a full stop all these I
4:32have to cover let me quickly show you
4:34that let me just copy paste
4:36and show you how do I alter it. Electric
4:39vehicles I'm going to remove this
4:42if needed I'll add that are
4:44revolutionizing are revolutionizing I'll
4:46remove electric vehicles revolutionize
4:49the transportation industry
4:52offering
4:57a sustainable alternative
4:59to traditional gasoline powered
5:03cars with I'm adding the word with and
5:05continuing Okay.
5:09Now probably I need that EVs here
5:11otherwise it won't make sense. So I'll
5:13write EVs with EVs produce zero
5:17emissions
5:21making them an environmental friendly
5:23option.
5:27This is my sentence one. And it helps
5:30combat air pollution
5:34and reduce the effects of climate change
5:39with that's how you do it
5:44with concerns
5:46about fossil fuel depletion and
5:49environmental damage grow. Electric
5:52vehicles are gaining popularity. What we
5:53will do? We will remove this
5:56with consumers potential. All this we
5:58will remove. So 50 words. So now we'll
6:00just alter a little bit. Um EVs
6:02revolutionize the transportation
6:03industry offering a sustainable
6:05alternative to traditional gasoline
6:06powered cars with EVs
6:09producing
6:11zero emissions making them an
6:14environmental friendly option or we can
6:16remove with EVs producing zero emissions
6:18as well. And this is my sentence one and
6:20it helps combat air pollution and reduce
6:21the effects of climate change with
6:23concerns about fossil fuel depletion.
6:29helping electric vehicles
6:34gain popularity. I'm just paraphrasing
6:37little bit on my own. This is 49 words.
6:40So now this entire thing whatever I
6:42wanted to take up I have taken it up you
6:46know by taking few of the keywords here
6:47and there. This is how you do it and
6:48then we will highlight the same way for
6:50this EVs are becoming more practical and
6:52accessible. The range
6:55continues to improve. Sufficient
6:57mileage. Charging infrastructure is
6:59expanding. More charging stations being
7:02built. Making long distance more
7:04feasible. Government offering incentives
7:06to increase the adoption as battery
7:08technology continues to improve. The
7:09cost of is expected to decrease. I think
7:14the rise makes I think that's all these
7:16are the things that I would pick it up
7:18in my sentence three and sentence four.
7:19Let's see how do I uh take this up.
7:23Now sentence three probably I'll start
7:25um EVs are
7:31becoming practical. Let's use the same
7:33thing
7:37as the range
7:40improves comma with
7:46models offering
7:50sufficient
7:54mileage along with
8:02expansion of
8:05charging infrastructure.
8:08So hope you're getting it. So now this
8:09would be my sentence three with models
8:12offering sufficient money along with
8:13expansion of charging infrastructure.
8:15And now
8:18we will continue making long distance or
8:20we could have continued with this
8:22making long distance more feasible.
8:30You will remove whatever is not needed
8:34and
8:36governments offering incentives.
8:44Governments offer incentives. We will
8:45remove as much as possible.
8:50and governments offer incentives
8:54to encourage the adoption.
8:58These are the things that you can write.
9:0080 words will remove five more words. Uh
9:02with models offering sufficient we can
9:04see EVs are becoming practical as the
9:06range improves
9:09with sufficient mileage along with
9:11expansion of charging infrastructure
9:13making long distance more feasible and
9:15governments offer incentives to
9:17encourage the adoption. 78 words.
9:18Another three words we will just remove
9:20here. Making them an environmentally
9:21friendly option. Making them
9:22environmentally friendly. We will remove
9:24two more words.
9:2776 words. And it helps combat air
9:30pollution and reduce the effects of
9:33climate change with concerns about
9:34fossil fuel depletion helping electric
9:37vehicles helping this gain popularity.
9:39I'll not write again electric vehicle
9:41helping this gain popularity. And we
9:44will submit it. Most probably I'll get
9:45content for four. We will just check it
9:48out. Well, content four out of four
9:49grammar we will just check. But the most
9:51important factor I'm talking about is if
9:54content is four out of four there are
9:55very high chances that you get more
9:56marks for the reading because reading
9:58skill is all about um what good a
10:02summary you can write because reading
10:03skill is about reading understanding the
10:05summary and writing it down. probably
10:07grammar and other things contribute
10:08marks to writing but your content has
10:10definitely got higher amount of marks uh
10:13you know allotted towards your reading.
10:14This is the way you do it. Uh grammar
10:16yeah there could be some stylistic
10:18errors like I told you uh you have to
10:19put a space and other things that we
10:20will just figure it out but most
10:22importantly the content and you see idea
10:24coverage 85.3%.
10:26This would be the right way to do this
10:28is the only way you can get a better
10:29marks towards your reading. Always
10:31remember this. The second reason why
10:32you'd be getting very low scores or
10:34stuck in reading is because you're
10:35taking lot of time to solve your reading
10:38writing fill in the blanks and reading
10:39fill in the blanks. Remember reading
10:40writing fill in the blanks come at the
10:41very beginning max of 2 minutes per
10:43question. Remember you fail to apply
10:45this and take up let's say 5 minutes 6
10:48minutes per question. You wouldn't be
10:49able to finish the reading module on
10:51time. Towards the end comes reading fill
10:52in the blanks. A lot of people complain
10:54saying I was not able to even start the
10:56reading fill in the blanks and time are
10:57expired. This may not be the right way.
10:59For this you need strategies to do
11:01things faster. After the update that
11:02went in last year, August 7, 2025,
11:06you would get a max of 21 or 23 or 25
11:09minutes, not more than that to complete
11:10your reading section. 16 questions
11:12getting it right. So we will have lot of
11:14strategies uh I'll be covering in the
11:15video uh in the later part of the video
11:17but for now not more than 2 minutes to
11:20solve any reading writing fill in the
11:21blanks and for that you need to mix
11:23grammar collocation and the contextual
11:25approach. You need more support on this.
11:27You can always join our course the
11:28WhatsApp link in the description. But
11:30let me show you a quick demonstration on
11:32the same. I'll show the question. Run a
11:33timer of 2 minutes. Try solving it in 2
11:35minutes. Post which I'm going to come
11:36back and explain you how to solve it in
11:38less than 2 minutes. Here we start.
13:28All
13:39right, let's understand how to do it
13:41very quickly. It's all about Santa. But
13:43no need to read. Did you know Santa was
13:45need to take it up to this level
13:46directly? Come here. Please an Indian
13:48immigrant in UK who dash up his daughter
13:51at night. At night you
13:54tuck up your daughter. Tuck up is a
13:56collocation. You don't say stuck up.
13:58Pick up. Yes. Kicks up. You don't say.
14:01So tucks up or pick up. But here you see
14:04you apply the grammar method. Subject
14:06verb agreement. Sanji Basker plays an
14:09immigrant or Indian immigrant in UK.
14:10Who? So it's one person. He eats. He
14:14picks up. Uh picks has to come. Pick is
14:17ruled out. And kicks up. You never say
14:19it's tucks up. Tucking up is putting the
14:21daughter inside with a bedtime story. So
14:23answer is tucks up. So for you to solve
14:25this very quickly you need to know the
14:26grammar otherwise you keep on thinking
14:28is it cakes pig struck and most of the
14:30people would go with pick up but pick
14:32cannot come. So using grammar you can
14:33actually solve this very quickly. The
14:34grammar technique is called subject verb
14:36agreement. He eats they eat. He singular
14:38not yes has to come. Tucks up his
14:41daughter at night. He always tuck up
14:43your daughter. Make a daughter sleep
14:44with the story collocation. Sleep
14:47someone with a story about father
14:48Christmas. Every Christmas basker after
14:50singular noun verb has to come. Santa
14:53loads up. So Basar says, Basker talks,
14:57Basar extorts, extorts is not the right
14:59word. Need to know the vocabulary.
15:01Exploits is not the right word. Exert is
15:03to exert the pressure. This is not the
15:04right word. Inon is to have a sweet
15:06soothing voice to sing. Basically
15:08mascarin tones. What are in tones? Santa
15:11loads up his no context. Loads up his
15:14sled. You check in the internet. Santa
15:16has that uh vehicle. It's called sled.
15:18Hees up his reindeer Ranjit and flies
15:20from his grotto in Jaland to deliver.
15:22Santa delivers what? Presents Santa
15:24delivering present is a collocation. Now
15:26for this you don't need a lot of
15:27context.
15:28When the little girl dash worriedly I
15:31thought he lives in North Pole. Little
15:33girl interrupt not interpret interpret
15:37is wrong. This is vocabulary. It's
15:39interrupt. Intersect is intersect
15:42meeting at a point. Interchange is to
15:44interchange is not fitting in. So
15:45whatever is left interject interject is
15:48to interrupt. A new word could be but
15:51even without knowing the meaning of
15:52interject you could have still solved it
15:53with elimination method. Interpret is
15:55wrong because she's not interpreting she
15:57is interrupting. Getting it? So a bit of
16:00grammar, a bit of collocation, bit of
16:02vocabulary, bit of context. This is
16:04called a fusion method. This is
16:06definitely needed to solve when you're
16:08reading writing fill in the blanks
16:09quickly. The answers are tucks up with
16:12the story in tones is to sing sled.
16:14That's the vehicle of Santa. He
16:16delivered presents. Uh that's the
16:18collocation. Interjects is to interrupt.
16:21Hope you're getting it. Do let me know
16:22in the comment section if you got um 1 2
16:253 4 six out of six in under 2 minutes
16:28because something like this comes in the
16:29exam you've got to solve it in under 2
16:31minutes. If you're taking 4 minutes to
16:32solve perhaps you would not be able to
16:35finish the reading module on time
16:36because of which you again would lose
16:38lot of marks and get stuck in 50 days
16:40and 60 days. Remember this. The next is
16:42reading fill in the blanks. Well though
16:44it comes towards the end. This is the
16:45one that you'll be doing with a lot of
16:47pressure because you hardly would be
16:48left with six or 7 minutes, four
16:50questions, max of 2 minutes, one and a
16:52half to two minutes or not more than
16:53that. And for this mostly people go for
16:57the traps. There is a blank which is not
16:59the answer and definitely they would
17:00pick this up. So what helps you is the
17:01bottom up approach. Uh let me very
17:04shortly show you demonstration on how to
17:06apply bottom up approach. Not to fall
17:07for the traps but let me just show you
17:09the question now. 2 minutes timer on my
17:10bottom right. Let's finish it off. Post
17:12which I'm going to come back and explain
17:13how to do with a bottomup approach. Here
17:15we stand.
19:16All right, I really hope you have solved
19:17it. Let's understand how to do this.
19:18What people would end up doing. Uh there
19:20are many tools available which are great
19:22for suggesting code completions and
19:24handling potential tasks. Debugging
19:26tasks. If so many words fit in my tricky
19:29tasks,
19:30it is task. It is a task you don't say.
19:32So when such is the case if you just
19:34choose potential for the first one what
19:36will you put for potential bugs
19:37potential bug is a collection potential
19:39bug should go for the fourth one. So now
19:41if you choose potential for the first
19:42one con case 100% if you choose
19:44potential for the first one fourth one
19:45con case and not just that let's say you
19:47select uh debugging tasks for the first
19:49one what will you put for the last one
19:51debug and error coloration the idea that
19:53I'm talking about is the bottom up
19:55approach uh basically you leave the
19:57blanks whichever you think is not
19:59important pretty basically you leave the
20:01blanks whichever you think you're not
20:03confident about and just keep solving
20:04the things that you're confident about
20:06and then from the bottom you go to the
20:07top because you will have the context
20:09now still you will be able to solve in
20:11less than a minute. Let me show you how
20:13to do this. The many tools available
20:15handling dash tasks multiple words fit
20:17in. So what do I do? I will leave it
20:19empty. This frees up time to focus on
20:22the real brain. You focus on the real
20:23brain activities. You don't focus on the
20:26activities. You focus on the teasers.
20:27Real brain teasers need a lot of time to
20:29focus designing the overall architecture
20:31and solving those logical problems.
20:33They're very tricky problems. Problems
20:35will be tricky. Collocation and identify
20:38potential bugs. Collocation you debug an
20:41error collocation. Now what is left?
20:44First one task is a noun before a noun
20:47adjective has to come. Fees is a noun.
20:49This is wrong. Ant is a noun. This is
20:51wrong. Boiler plate. No other word is
20:52fitting. Just close your eyes and go
20:54with it. This is the approach that I'm
20:57talking about. Now you can check in the
20:58Google what is boilerplate. You will
21:00have your own um way of solving this
21:02with debugging as the first one. If you
21:04choose debugging for the first one,
21:06fifth one gone case. So only one pattern
21:08fits in and this is this pattern for
21:10this you got to go with bottom up
21:12approach remember this after this let's
21:14take a pre-order the paragraph still not
21:16a priority people are getting three
21:18questions and in our course many people
21:20are just choosing random answers because
21:22they're not finding time and still they
21:23get 83 84 for the reading in the PT
21:26academic so I still don't see any reason
21:29why you should be um focusing more on
21:31the reorder the paragraph not a priority
21:33even if you get three questions it's
21:34okay don't randomly choose something and
21:36move
21:37Max of 30 40 seconds. You put your
21:39efforts identifying the main sentence
21:40meaning independent sentence and start
21:42doing things max of 30 40 seconds. Even
21:44after 30 40 seconds if you're not able
21:46to solve randomly drag and drop
21:48something and move on. Know that this is
21:50not a priority. You cannot give more
21:52than 30 40 seconds. If you give 2
21:54minutes for each reorder of the question
21:5520 25 marks towards the end reading fill
21:57in the blanks you wouldn't be able to
21:58even touch. Remember this. After this
22:00let's also talk about choose single
22:01answer choose multiple answer. Remember
22:03randomly select one and move on. Not
22:05even a mill microscond you can give for
22:07these questions. If you are someone who
22:09is thinking I think I lose two marks
22:11three marks from this what about 25
22:12marks there. And trust me all this
22:14modules are dummy modules. We have seen
22:16many numerous numerous individuals who
22:18randomly selected one and still got 90.
22:20Don't ask me how because that's how it
22:21works. The priority is reading FIB and
22:23reading writing FIB not multiple choice
22:25choose single answer multiple choice
22:26choose multiple answer. The moment you
22:28see these questions not even a second
22:30I'm telling you please follow. Don't
22:32have to become Albert Einstein and apply
22:33your own logic. I'm telling this with
22:35pure or sheer experience of seeing lot
22:38of students. The moment you see the
22:39question, select one and move on. One is
22:40enough for both choose single and choose
22:42multiple. Failing to do so, you will
22:44have to worry towards the end that
22:45you're left with only one or two minutes
22:47to solve five reading fill in the blanks
22:49question which is definitely not
22:50possible. Remember this. And then the
22:52last reason why your reading gets stuck
22:54at 50s and 60s highlight incorrect words
22:57contributes 10 to 12 or 12 to 15 marks
22:59towards your reading. Absolutely no mess
23:00up. You need to be precise no matter
23:02what. There's a negative marking, but
23:03don't even go there. Negative marking is
23:05only when you select something which is
23:06not incorrect. But don't even go there.
23:08You need to be precise. It's a very
23:09simple module. Get or back those entire
23:1212 out of 15 marks from highlight
23:14incorrect words. Practice more. In our
23:15portal, you can increase the speed to
23:171.5x or 2x and you know start
23:19practicing. I'm sure you will be able to
23:21get full scores. But on the lighter
23:23note, remember highlight incorrect words
23:25as negative marking. Meaning you select
23:27something which is not an incorrect
23:28word, you start getting negative
23:29marking. So what to do if I am not sure
23:32about a particular word? Leave it empty.
23:34But the point is you cannot even leave
23:35it empty. You have to get full scores in
23:37the worst case. If you're not sure,
23:38don't even touch that particular word.
23:41Because if you select a word which is
23:42not incorrect, you will get negative
23:44marking. But what if I don't even select
23:45there's no negative marking. So
23:46absolutely no messup in highlight
23:47incorrect words. Remember this. I think
23:49that's all for today. I really really
23:50hope this was an informative content
23:52giving you more idea uh more tips and
23:54tricks and strategies on how to improve
23:57your reading scores if you're stuck at
