The total score of the PTE test is 10-90 points, with a passing score of 60 or more and a full score of 90 points. In each section of the PTE test, the scoring criteria for each question are different. Many test takers are asking: What is the RS scoring standard in PTE? The RS scoring criteria are extremely rigorous, and not only is the content and technique closely related, but pronunciation and fluency are also crucial.
1. What is the scoring criteria for RS in PTE?
The RS scoring scale is divided into two sections, namely content score and skill score.
1. The content of RS is divided into:
1) 3 points: 100% retelling the content will get 3 points;
2) 2 points: 2 points for retelling 50%-99% of the content (retelling half of the content is the same as making a mistake in a word);
3) 1 point: 1 point is 1 point if you retell 1%-50% of the content.
4) 0 points: 1 word is not rephrased, and the content is 0 points.
2. Tips about RS:
There are a total of 13 points for a single RS, of which fluency and pronunciation account for 10 points. It can be seen that when candidates are doing RS, everyone's first task is to ensure fluency and pronunciation.
For example, if your content score is 3, but the pronunciation is inaccurate and the expression is stumbling, the score will not be very high. Conversely, if only half of the content is retold correctly, but the pronunciation is accurate and the expression is fluent, 1 content point will be deducted.
IIWhat are the precautions for the RS exam in PTE?
1. After integrating the content, remember pronunciation and fluency.
2. The content should not be too long, and it is best to answer it simply.
3. When you encounter words that you can't hear, don't deliberately recall, focus on the moment, and think about how to pronounce the recording.
4. Do not translate between Chinese and English in your mind, so as not to affect the performance of the exam.
5. A variety of memory methods combined memory, not only can remember pronunciation but also remember more words.
6. Know how to be flexible temporarily, deal with it flexibly when you encounter a stuck, and don't get entangled in one place.
3. What are the RS answering skills in PTE?
Candidates must do their best to pronounce each word correctly, because the machine will judge the pronunciation error once it encounters difficulty in recognizing the pronunciation.
Candidates need to simulate the context of speaking, repeat sentences completely, and sentence breaks, pauses, rising and falling tones, etc.
Try to listen to or understand the meaning of the sentence, which will help you understand and express the sentence so that you can express it more fluently.
Candidates should not swallow the sound easily, otherwise the machine will not be able to recognize it, pay attention to the recognition of singular numbers, plural s and possessive's.
Strive to mimic the speaker's pronunciation traits and pitch changes.
The above is an introduction to the scoring criteria for the RS part of the PTE, and by the way, it also introduces exam preparation skills and answering skills.
