Pearson Test of English Academic Practice (Practice Tests Plus) (Old Edition) Paperback – 18 April 2013

Hi Guys, I purchased this book via amazon just 2 days before the exam. I tried to get my hands on a PTE book to understand the format, practice a few modules etc. Unfortunately, I couldn't find PTE Academic book in any of the leading book stores in Chennai. I went ahead and ordered this book via amazon. It arrived as promised. I studied just the day before the exam. There are 4 practice tests which are more than sufficient to get accustomed with the pattern. There was a technical glitch at my test center but it was fixed. I got the desired result in 2 days. I would also suggest to search for PTE reviews and material online. One can find some useful tips and materials in the Expatsforum community. Since there is no manual intervention and Pearson has built a robust software to evaluate the test try to understand what the e-rater is looking for..carefully go through the scoring guide for each section that is provided in the second half of the book. It will definitely help you to focus on areas of importance.

This book in my opinion is an ideal book to prepare for PTE-Academic. The book along with the CDs are really very helpful to understand the structure and pattern of the exam. Book contains 4 test sets which are very much helpful to get the desired score.Packaging of Amazon is very good and they delivered it within the stipulated time. Happy with their service.

Its a perfect guide to prepare for PTE-A.It gives you good tips for the exam. The content for preparation (sample exams) is replica of original exam. So if you are planing to go for PTEA, this is the best book you can get.Suggestion: While using this book it feels like the exam is very easy and you can crack it, but believe me it needs lots of practice to score good.

I followed it like a bible, took 3 days off and completed all the practice test. went through the score guide and answer key, they are very helpful. Gives you tips and strategy for each section. Top it up with some you tube audio/video for listening, repeat and retell lecture practice. The only thing this book lack is there is no scored practice test.

The content was good but the same can't be accessed with the help of the CD for speaking and listening.

The book will definitely help you prepare for the pte academic since there are no scored test in this book i would recommend to take an online exam also which is available on pte website as time management is a very major factor to get a good score in this exam. While solving the test at home and at exam centre is a very different experience.

Good for people who want to go for PTA exam and yes it’s helpful in terms of helping you to pay attention on topics for the exam and good sample to work on

A must needed reference book for each test taker. This book will give you detailed idea about the exam pattern and the tests covered are also up to the mark. Covers 4 test modules with CD and most important part is the answer key which helps you to improve your performance.
