Want Superior English Score in PTE After 7th August? Yes, It’s Possible
The New PTE After 7th August
Pearson introduced some important changes to the PTE Academic exam after 7 August 2025. Many students worry whether it is still possible to achieve a Superior English score (79+). The good news is: yes, it is possible—as long as you shift your focus to the right tasks and follow the right strategies.
Speaking: New Focus Areas
Earlier, tasks like Read Aloud and Repeat Sentence were the backbone of speaking. After 7th August, it’s time to give more attention to:
- Describe Image – This task carries weight and tests your fluency, vocabulary, and ability to summarize visuals.
- Summarise Group Discussion – A new task where you listen to a discussion and provide a summary. The key is note-taking and organizing ideas clearly.
By practicing these two areas, students can balance the scoring impact of speaking while still keeping fluency and pronunciation strong.
Writing: Templates + Smart Summaries
For writing, your focus should shift to:
- Summarise Written Text – This task is simple once you know the rule: pick independent sentences without pronouns. That ensures clarity and avoids confusion.
- Essay Writing – Always use a reliable essay template. A good template contributes at least 50% of your score, while still giving you room to add meaningful content.
👉 The secret: Don’t waste time inventing complex structures—stick to what works consistently.
Reading: Easier but Time-Critical
Many recent test-takers (including PTE veterans) have shared that the reading section feels easier after the update. You can watch their experiences here:

But here’s the catch: time is shorter. You need to practice time management and follow certain rules, such as:
- Rule of Parallelism – when two words are joined with and, they should have the same meaning or grammatical form.

Listening: Master the Spellings
Listening hasn’t changed much after August, but one thing remains crucial: spellings. A single spelling mistake can cost you points. So train your ear, but also train your pen (or keyboard).

Achieving a Superior English score in PTE after 7 August 2025 is definitely possible. The exam may feel different—longer in some parts, tighter in time—but with the right templates, strategies, and practice, you can succeed.
