Fast is not always fluent
Some aspirants
confused speed for fluency and they go all in, trying to talk too fast. This
affects their fluency scores. When speaking too fast, fluency and legibility
suffer. It may happen that they're speaking fast because of the increased
tension of the exam. So aspirants should choose a pace that's neither too fast,
nor too slow. Aim for a natural speed and attempt to maintain it throughout the
entire duration of your exam.
Use of too many types of filler or utterances
When thinking of
words to be spoken students often tend to make filler sounds like ‘aaa’, ‘Uhm,
etc. This negatively affects the student’s score. An alternative is to prepare
templates for speaking, so that filler words ‘like’, ‘you know’ and other
sounds, etc. are not used.
Avoid pausing, making a false start, repetitions, and hesitations
Oral fluency
determines you’re speaking score to a large extent. If you take unnecessary
pauses or make false starts, then it surely affects your Speaking band score.
Further, hesitating, repeating words, should also be avoided. Along with that, you
must make sure that not even a single word tends to make your speech boring. If
you do this so then, you can definitely be able to achieve the desirable band
score in your speaking module. So practice speaking activities as much as
possible to avoid speaking with pauses and repetitions.
Do not pause for too long
It is essential
to know that if you pause for 3 seconds in the PTE Speaking Module, then the
microphone goes off. Anything you say after that will not be recorded. Make
sure that you keep this thing in mind when taking the Speaking test.

Check your
spellings, punctuation marks, and sentence formation. "Errors in areas
like singular and plural sentences, prepositions list, as well structures are
quite common. Vocabulary should be given priority to develop enabling skills as
they play a crucial role in your score. The word limit should be noted for all
tasks and for summarizing spoken task should be answered in a single sentence.
