About this pack

Give your next practice session a clear focus with this free seven-page guide from PTE Practice Lab.

Designed for test takers who already know the tasks, it introduces a simple approach to practicing independently: choose a focus, record your response, review your attempt, and repeat.

Inside, you’ll find:

  • An original Describe Image activity with an example response

  • A worksheet to compare two recorded attempts

  • A session planner and reusable practice log

  • Selected practice-focus examples across speaking, writing, reading, and listening

Built from firsthand test-taking experience, this is a practical starting point for more focused self-study—not a complete exercise workbook or mock test.
