I Sat the PTE Exam in September.
Here Is What Happened.
I used everything I teach on this blog, in the same exam, on the same day. Speaking came back 90. This is the fifth month in a row.
I sat the official PTE exam on 21 September 2026 and scored 90 in Speaking. This is the fifth month in a row I have scored 90, from May through September. I used the same techniques I teach on this blog: the speaking times, the Retell Lecture structure, the Summarize Group Discussion plan, the Respond to a Situation approach, and the essay outline with the 220 word target.
I do not just write about these techniques. I use them, every time I sit the exam, so I know they still work under the current scoring system.
Result — 01Five Months, Five 90s
I sat the exam again on 21 September 2026. Speaking came back 90.
That makes five consecutive months with a Speaking score of 90: May, June, July, August, and now September.
Speaking 90 on five consecutive attempts — May, June, July, August and September 2026.
Approach — 02I Did Not Do Anything New
Going into this exam, I did not test a new technique. I used the same methods I already teach on this blog, in the same order I teach them.
That was the point. A technique is only useful if it keeps working, exam after exam, not just the one time it was discovered.
Applied — 03What I Used, Task by Task
Here is exactly what I applied in this exam, and where you can read the full method behind each one.
Why It Matters — 04Consistency Is the Real Test
One good score can be luck. Five in a row, using the same method each time, is not.
This is why I keep sitting the real exam instead of only teaching from theory. If a technique stops working, I want to be the first to know, and I want to tell you before you rely on it.
Frequently Asked Questions
No. I used the same methods I already teach on this blog: the speaking times, the Retell Lecture structure, the Summarize Group Discussion plan, the Respond to a Situation approach, and the essay outline.
Five consecutive months, from May to September 2026.
Because I do not answer the Listening and Reading questions on these attempts. I am only testing Speaking and Writing, so the Overall score is pulled down by two sections I deliberately skipped.
To check that the techniques I teach still work under the current scoring system. A technique is only useful if it keeps working every time, not just once.
