Understanding the roles of Oral Fluency and Pronunciation.
Unlike IELTS where a human examiner might give you a 'benefit of the doubt', PTE is graded 100% by algorithms. This requires a specific technique.
The AI Scoring Pillars:
- Oral Fluency: The steady, consistent rhythm of your speech. No self-correction! Even if you make a small grammar mistake, keep going.
- Pronunciation: Clarity and word-stress. Our AI checks for phonetic accuracy against a native speaker database.
- Content: Inclusion of key keywords identified in the prompt or recording.
On Practet, we provide a detailed 0-90 score for each of these sub-skills, mirroring the official PTE report.
