1:05the description. All right, without any
1:06further delay, let's straight away get
1:08right into the PTE speaking 20 cheat
1:10codes. Here we start. The first cheat
1:12code that I'm revealing in this video is
1:13about PTE read aloud. Remember, it is
1:15still a dummy module, not a very very
1:17important one. Four or five questions
1:19may appear for PTE Academic, hardly four
1:21or five marks, not more than that. Don't
1:23have to speak one line, that line, this
1:25line, no. Just speak. If at all you
1:26encounter a difficult word, you can just
1:28skip them. 100%
1:30This works. This gets you your full
1:32scores, meaning whatever the score that
1:33is reserved for PTE read aloud, you're
1:35going to get that even if you skip few
1:36of the difficult words. How many words
1:38can I skip? How many words you want to
1:39skip, you skip. Don't skip all the
1:41words. Four to five or five to six is
1:43definitely fine. Skip the words and keep
1:44continuing if at all you encounter a
1:45difficult word. Read aloud is not a
1:47priority. Just keep speaking. You get
1:50your scores. The second cheat code is
1:51PTE repeat sentence. Minimum 50%. I
1:53repeat, minimum 50% content should
1:55exactly match. You cannot alter the
1:57words. If the word there is developed
2:00and you say developing, you don't get
2:01your scores. Every word that you speak,
2:0350% exactly should match. And if 50% of
2:06the words match, you get full scores
2:07from repeat sentence towards your
2:08speaking and listening. If there are 10
2:10words, you speak exact five words that
2:12matches the audio, you're going to get
2:13your scores. Even if you match 10 words
2:15or five words, it is not going to make
2:17much difference. Remember this. The
2:19third cheat code is order in the PTE
2:21repeat sentence doesn't make a
2:23difference. For a 10-word audio, let's
2:24say you started from eighth word, ninth
2:26word, 10th word. And then you started
2:29with first, second, third, fourth,
2:30fifth, sixth. Will this give me scores?
2:31100% it gives you. Doesn't matter at all
2:34as to in which order you speak. Meaning
2:37if first three words are difficult for
2:39you, you can just skip them and speak
2:41the rest. Ordering of the words is not
2:42going to make any difference. You can
2:43speak in any order. You can speak any
2:45word. If that word is present in the
2:47audio, you're going to get your scores.
2:48It need not be in the same order, in the
2:51same position. 100% verified. Remember
2:54this. The fourth cheat code is again
2:55with respect to PTE repeat sentence. Do
2:57not write down the first letter or every
3:00word using a pen and a book. This will
3:02affect your fluency because the moment
3:03you start writing down, you'll have to
3:05look into it and speak. And while
3:06speaking, if you're unsure about a
3:08particular word, definitely that would
3:09be a break in your flow. And if your
3:11flow of speech is obstructed, you don't
3:14get your scores. It's a fluency five,
3:15content three, pronunciation five.
3:17Fluency is prioritized. Don't do
3:19something that affects your fluency.
3:21Listen less, speak less. Even if you
3:23speak 50-60%, you're going to get your
3:24scores. Then why to listen to the entire
3:26audio? If it's a 10-word audio, you
3:28listen to first seven to eight words and
3:29speak first seven to eight words. Or
3:31listen to any seven to eight words and
3:32speak the seven to eight words back.
3:34There's no necessity of taking down the
3:35words in a piece of paper, writing down
3:37the first letter, and then tracing it
3:39back as to what it was. All this will
3:40definitely affect the flow of speech.
3:43Remember this. The fifth cheat code is
3:44with respect to your pitch. If your
3:46voice is very thick, be it a male
3:48candidate or a female candidate, it does
3:49not differentiate. If your voice for a
3:52male candidate is less than 140, 120, 90
3:54hertz, 110 hertz, you will have to
3:56consider thinning your tone at all.
3:58Meaning at least 140 to 150 it has to
4:00come. If you're a female candidate, it
4:01should be 200 and above, preferably 220,
4:04230. If you're not well within this
4:05range, again marks will go down. You can
4:07use our portal skills pte with nakul.com
4:09or our mobile application skills pte
4:11academic practice any question enable
4:13the Noa engine. You will see your pitch.
4:15If it is not well within the range,
4:17practice thinning your tone, a slight
4:18thinning, sharpening your tone will
4:20ensure you get a better score in the
4:22main exam. Remember this. The sixth
4:24cheat code is your monotonic speech. If
4:26you're someone intonating the audio,
4:28definitely going to lose a lot of marks.
4:30If you pay attention to how I'm speaking
4:32right now, if I draw a graph of my
4:33speech, it would be almost a straight
4:35line. It will not come something like
4:37this. It is not wavy. If you're someone
4:39who's speaking in a wavy format, meaning
4:41non-monotonic speech, attracts low
4:44scores. Remember this. Remember this.
4:46Remember this. In our portal, we have a
4:47separate section. If you enable the Noa
4:49engine after you submit any speaking
4:51section, you will see large pitch
4:53variations. It should be less than five.
4:54Monotone, it should be yes. If monotone
4:56says no, that means you will definitely
4:58land up in trouble in the main exam. It
5:00could be because of your voice. Some
5:01people's voice, by default, will have
5:03intonations. Intonations is strictly
5:05prohibited. Don't intentionally add
5:07intonation thinking you would get more
5:09marks. All this will definitely affect
5:11your scores in a negative way. Remember
5:13this. Next is describe image. No need to
5:15cover every keyword from the image and
5:17it is highly impossible even for Albert
5:19Einstein or William Shakespeare. So, you
5:21don't have to become even Albert
5:23Einstein or William Shakespeare. Three
5:24key content or four key content you
5:26observe and decide, "Okay, this is what
5:28I'm going to speak in the first 25
5:30seconds." Decide on this. And once the
5:31mic is on, just speak these things that
5:33you decided to speak. Don't add some
5:35other words, some other thing thinking
5:37if you add more you get more marks.
5:39Nothing like that. All they're checking
5:40is how well can you manage speaking
5:43about an image. They're not expecting
5:44you to be so precise in speaking about
5:46an image. And every person will speak in
5:49a different way. There's nothing like a
5:50perfect answer for the image. So, there
5:52is no perfect answer. You can speak the
5:53way you want it. Don't try to trick the
5:56software. I'm telling you human
5:57evaluation may happen. We are not really
5:59sure about it. But itself is capable of
6:02handling this. Trust me on this. If you
6:03try to trick the software by using some
6:05lengthy templates
6:06templates like I've been given 40
6:08seconds to speak and today is my first
6:09day and I'm speaking and I'm very very
6:11happy and include some three four
6:12keywords all this bus will not work. I'm
6:14telling you all this please don't try.
6:16Just go with the structure in the
6:17beginning. Talk about what kind of an
6:19image is that. Give title. The image
6:21provided is an area chart that gives
6:22information about read the title. Talk
6:24about x-axis, y-axis if it is present.
6:26Some images do not have x-axis, y-axis.
6:28You can chuck them off. And then main
6:30body three key content point number one,
6:32point number two, point number three. If
6:34you want you can use the template.
6:35Firstly, it is evident that on the
6:36contrary and another interesting point
6:38is that and towards the end give a
6:39conclusion done and dusted. Follow this
6:41for describe image. Three key content
6:43more than enough. No need to speak a lot
6:46thinking if I cover every keyword I'll
6:47get more marks. You try to cover every
6:49keyword you will fumble for sure. You
6:50fumble, hesitate, definitely you'll be
6:52expecting a low score in the exam.
6:54Remember this. Cheat code number eight.
6:55Ideal time to speak in describe image 25
6:57to 30 seconds. Don't think I think I'm
6:59losing marks because I'm speaking only
7:00for 20 22 seconds. If I speak for 40
7:03seconds I get more marks. No, it's all
7:04about fluency and pronunciation the
7:06clarity. Content three four key content
7:08if you speak should be more than enough.
7:0925 to 30 seconds would be the ideal
7:11time. No need to really speak for 40
7:13seconds in describe image. Remember
7:15this. The ninth cheat code is with
7:16respect to retail lecture. Avoid writing
7:19only keywords. You got to write phrases.
7:21Meaning you got to write something that
7:23has a meaning. Keyword alone will not
7:24have a meaning. You will have to create
7:26a story around it and while doing so if
7:28you deviate from the original audio's
7:30meaning you definitely would get low
7:32scores AI will definitely give you low
7:34scores thinking that you're speaking for
7:35some other audio. The idea is very
7:36simple. Don't take only keywords. Take
7:38the phrases as it is. If the audio says
7:41technology these days are evolving so
7:43fast that people have access to
7:44everything. Technology these days are
7:46evolving so fast that people have access
7:47to everything. Like this four sentences
7:50any four sentences from the audio will
7:52ensure you get full scores. Taking
7:53keywords alone would mean that you may
7:56deviate from the actual meaning of the
7:58audio resulting in a low score. Remember
7:59this. And to top it off avoid using
8:01lengthy templates. Use some concise
8:03ones. The lecture was about Firstly, the
8:05speaker said Here the speaker mentioned
8:07Later speaker said something of this you
8:09can use. Whether you use it or not, it
8:10is not going to make any difference. But
8:12if you're someone who needs that flow
8:13from the template, you can use very
8:15short and version of template. The
8:17lecture gives the important key points
8:18relevant information about so many
8:19things that I'm very impressing about.
8:21Don't keep on speaking a lengthy
8:23template which do not reflect any word
8:26from the audio. You get more marks only
8:29when you include more number of words
8:31that are present in the audio. The
8:33lecture gives the important key points
8:34and the relevant information about 13 14
8:37words are never present in the audio. So
8:38how would this magically get you scores?
8:40Yes, it is giving you scores only inside
8:42your mind. Inside this it gives. The
8:44outside world would know that this is
8:46not going to give you anything. It may
8:48help you to get that flow to the rhythm,
8:50but to just get the flow, you don't have
8:52to use a lengthy template. Use lengthy
8:54template software may trigger for the
8:56human review and if human reads it, you
8:58may not expect a great score for this.
9:00Remember this. The 10th cheat code with
9:02respect to PTE retail lecture. Video can
9:04appear. Okay, what to do if video
9:06appears? Let it appear. All you need is
9:07an audio. Video will definitely have an
9:09audio. So why to worry? Don't even look
9:11at the video. Video will do only one
9:12thing. It will distract you. So don't
9:14look at the audio. Close your eyes and
9:16start listening and start noting down
9:17the points in the booklet that is given
9:19to you. Done and dusted. Same principle,
9:21same strategy as before. If video comes,
9:23know that a video has an audio and
9:25continue as simple as that. The 11th
9:27cheat code is again with respect to PTE
9:28academic retail lecture. The minute you
9:30finish taking the notes, take the cap
9:32and take your pen and keep the pen cap
9:35closed. Don't do this. If the cap is
9:37open for a very long time, there are
9:38high chances that the ink may dry up. So
9:40whenever you're not using it, keep the
9:42cap closed just to ensure that ink
9:44doesn't dry up. If you don't do this,
9:46after retail lecture comes summarize
9:47group discussion. While taking summarize
9:49group discussion, what if the ink dries
9:50up? You raise your hand and ask the
9:51invigilator. Invigilator will be talking
9:53to someone else outside. That person
9:55will come after probably 2 minutes. By
9:56that time, the audio is over and done
9:58and dusted, you would miss out on a lot
10:00of mark because you will not be able to
10:02speak anything for the audio. The 12th
10:05cheat code is with respect to PTE
10:06academic retail lecture. You have to
10:08take down some notes and now you have to
10:10start speaking. You're speaking and in
10:12the first sentence, third word you're
10:13not sure as to what you have written.
10:15What to do? Escape that word and keep
10:17speaking, man. If I skip that word, it
10:18is not making sense. It doesn't have to
10:20make sense. While writing, I really
10:22believe you would have written something
10:23that makes sense. If it doesn't, it's
10:25okay. But, try to write something that
10:26makes sense. Meaning, one or two words
10:28you skip, it should not completely alter
10:31everything. It should still say the same
10:32thing that is present in the audio,
10:34isn't it? So, one or two words or two
10:35three words or three four words that
10:37you've written, that you've taken down
10:38the notes, if you're not able to trace
10:40as to what it is, it's absolutely fine.
10:42Skip them and keep continuing. Do not
10:44compromise on the flow. It's very, very
10:47important you get fluency fight to get
10:49better scores towards your listening and
10:50speaking from PTE Academic Retail
10:53Lecture. Remember this. The 13th cheat
10:55code is with respect to PTE Summarize
10:57Group Discussion for PTE Academic. This
10:59module is a replica of Retail Lecture.
11:00In Retail Lecture, audio goes for
11:02probably 45 seconds to 1 minute.
11:03Summarize Group Discussion, it could be
11:052 minutes to 3 minutes, not just 3
11:06minutes all the time. It could be 2
11:07minutes to 3 minutes. And in Retail
11:09Lecture, you will take down four or five
11:11phrases. Here, it is three times of
11:13Retail Lecture. Four or five into three
11:15is 12 to 15 small sentences. Each
11:17sentence of eight to 10 words you take.
11:19Summarize Group Discussion, done and
11:21dusted. The 14th cheat code is again
11:23with respect to PTE Academic Summarize
11:25Group Discussion. As opposed to three
11:26speakers, there could be just to two
11:27speaker. You don't have to wait for the
11:29third speaker. Oh, I did not get an
11:31audio from third speaker. Some problem
11:32it could be. You don't need to think.
11:34Sometimes it could be two speakers or
11:36sometimes three, doesn't matter. If at
11:37all you're already prepared for three
11:39speakers, it's time you understand that
11:40two can also come and accordingly you
11:42need to change your strategy. Because
11:44there is no data for the third speaker.
11:4515th cheat code with respect to
11:47Summarize Group Discussion. Speaker
11:48one's data, by mistake I put into
11:50speaker two's. And speaker two's I put
11:52into speaker one's. Will that be a
11:54problem? Absolutely no problem. 100% no
11:57problem. They're asking you to
11:58summarize. They're not asking you to
12:01exactly say who told what, isn't it?
12:03Give work to your brain, you probably
12:04would understand yourself as to why it
12:06is allowed to mix the things up
12:08completely and still get a great score.
12:10As long as the words that you speak are
12:12present in the audio, you get your
12:14marks. Speaker one told speaker one that
12:16word is not there in the audio at all,
12:18boss. So, speaker one is not going to
12:19magically get you any scores. It just
12:21helps you get a flow of speech for the
12:22fluency. Whether you put speaker ones
12:24into speaker two or speaker twos into
12:25speaker one or three, it's not going to
12:27make any difference as long as the words
12:29that you speak present in the audio, you
12:31get your scores. Simple algorithm.
12:33Remember this. The 16th cheat code is
12:35with respect to PTE's respond to
12:37situation. Be on point. They would have
12:39asked you something. You just respond to
12:41that. No need to beat around the bush
12:43and talk about 100 different things. If
12:44the question is you have been caught by
12:46a police inspector and the inspector is
12:49asking you to show the ID card, but your
12:51ID card is at your home. How do you
12:54explain the police inspector? Hi police
12:56inspector, I'm aware that I have been
12:58caught while driving and you are asking
12:59me to show the ID card. Unfortunately,
13:01my ID card is in my home. Whatever the
13:04sentences were there in the question,
13:05exactly as it is. Tweaking here and
13:07there, change few words and spoke that.
13:09And now, how would you respond? One more
13:10sentence I speak about responding, done
13:13and dusted. How to speak one or two
13:14sentences only. So, if you could allow
13:16me at least 1 hour, I can go home and
13:18take my ID card and give it to you.
13:20Meantime, you can keep the vehicle here
13:22so that I will go home, get the ID card
13:24and come here. Simple, two sentences,
13:27done and dusted. Be on point. Don't have
13:30to beat around the bush. Hi inspector, I
13:31totally forgot that my mom is not well.
13:34I have to go home urgently. If I don't
13:36go home, she will definitely shout at
13:38me. She will call me multiple times. And
13:40my wife is also not there. Nobody at
13:42home. Please, please leave me. All these
13:43things are not needed. Be on the point
13:45because AI needs only that and that's
13:47how AI has been trained with. You give
13:49that, you get your marks. You don't give
13:51that and give a lot of things, AI says,
13:52"Boss, this is not what I was expecting.
13:54I think you deserve another attempt.
13:56Please, swipe your card and come back
13:58and take one more time." Remember this,
14:00be on the point and talk something very
14:03relevant and talk less. 25 to 30 seconds
14:06more than enough in respond to
14:07situation. Remember this. The 17th cheat
14:10code is with respect to answer short
14:11question. Dummy module, no No to study,
14:13no need to worry. You know the answer,
14:15speak the answer. You don't know the
14:16answer, speak something and quickly move
14:17on to the next question. 100% they're
14:19not going to give you any marks.
14:21Remember this. The 18th cheat code is
14:23with respect to PTE repeat sentence.
14:24Speak when the mic is on. Once the audio
14:27ends, mic will not be on immediately in
14:29most of the cases. There will be a beep
14:30sound in repeat sentence indicating that
14:33yes, now the mic is on, you have to
14:34speak now. And if you don't speak for 3
14:36seconds after the mic is on, fourth
14:38second microphone will turn off. But the
14:39point is sometimes there won't be any
14:41beep sound. Audio ends and it says
14:43beginning in two, beginning in one, and
14:45then recording. Before that, you finish
14:46speaking and know whatever you have
14:48spoken would not be recorded. Be very,
14:50very careful. All these are very, very
14:52important cheat codes. You speak before
14:54the mic is on, you think you spoke well,
14:57and the result says something else. Make
14:58sure to speak only when the mic is on.
15:00Remember this. The 19th cheat code.
15:02Remember always to speak a little faster
15:04than your actual speed. A little faster.
15:07Let me show you a quick demonstration
15:09through a read aloud. Here we start. I'm
15:10randomly opening a read aloud question.
15:12Just see how I maintain the speed,
15:14tempo, and my rhythm.
15:16A railway station is a facility that has
15:18railway tracks or lines for trains to
15:20carry passengers or goods from one place
15:21to another. There are different kinds of
15:23railway stations. Some are above ground,
15:25while some are underground.
15:27You have to speak this way. You're going
15:29to get fluency five. Well, here I'll get
15:32the content as well five because content
15:34if 70-80% matches, you get your scores.
15:36You don't have to speak 100% correct,
15:38and that's how it would be in the exam,
15:39and that's how we have trained our AI as
15:41well. Content is five though I spoke
15:42that that that that that that towards
15:43the end. But
15:45coming back to what we were discussing,
15:47it's the fluency, the flow of speech.
15:49The speed should be at least this. You
15:51speak little slower. A railway station
15:54is a facility that has railway tracks or
15:56train or lines for trains to carry
15:58passengers or goods from one place to
16:00another. This speed will ensure you get
16:02only three out of five fluency if not
16:04five out of five. Remember this. The
16:06last 20th cheat code of this video. Be
16:08clearer when you speak. When you talk to
16:11your friend, definitely you're talking
16:12in a way that your friend would not take
16:14one stone and say, "Hey, dude, open your
16:16mouth. What are you trying to say? I'm
16:17not understanding anything. This
16:18situation would not occur in the real
16:20scenario. But for so many students, the
16:23situation is the norm in the PTE exam.
16:25They speak in a way AI shouts, "Dude,
16:27what is this? Open your mouth. Open your
16:29mouth." And the person says,
16:32"Open the mouth. Be more clearer."
16:34Pronunciation is all about with what
16:36ease you would make someone understand
16:38what you speak. If it becomes so
16:39difficult for someone to understand your
16:41speech, your pronunciation, the clarity,
16:43everything is so low. It's not about
16:44accent. You can have your own accent and
16:46get 90. But the point is try to be
16:48clearer. Open the mouth more like I'm
16:50trying to speak more clearly so that
16:52whoever listens to me would understand
16:54what I speak. This is the mantra for
16:56your five out of five pronunciation.
16:58Remember this. I think that's all for
17:00today. I really hope this was an
17:02informative content giving you more idea
17:04about where you possibly could go wrong
17:06and some confidence boosters in the
17:08middle and some tips and tricks, last
