A focused, methodical approach to PTE Repeat Sentence Practice is more important than you might realize. A lot of test-takers underestimate just how difficult it is to try and remember the exact formula of a sentence in their first language, let alone another language!
To make matters worse, I have explored every corner of the internet to see what kinds of free PTE repeat sentence practice is actually available to PTE exam hopefuls- and I’m not very impressed with what I have seen. A lot of the repeat sentence examples and samples out there are flawed; they are usually either far too easy or far too difficult.

The other (incredibly important!) point to consider is that it’s not enough to just practice PTE sentence samples of the Repeat sentence task over and over again. Although the practice is certainly key to success on this task, you also need to learn the right strategies for increasing your memory capacity and maintaining appropriate pronunciation and oral fluency.

You can write down first letter of each word while listening. For example,
Please make sure that you collect all of your belongings.. The notes would look like : P M S T Y C A O Y B.

Srinivas says:
There is no short cut for success. Repeat sentence requires attention on both speaking and listening. Take back to back sample listening initially, everytime you make mistake in sample question write down what went wrong and where.
Step1: Understand the CONTEXT of the speech.
Step2: Write down first letter of the work in the speech. This requires pratice.
Step3: Logically break the sentence into chunks which will enable us to memorise for short time.
Setp4: Repeat the sentence with confidence from the chunks and first letter of the words.
I practice everyday atleast 20 repeat sentence.
olivia says:
Very true! WOW you are a dedicated learner! Good for you! 🙂
Keep it up and it will surely pay off.
STUDY HARD! (As you have been!)

Sunith says:
It’s is difficult to note down first letter of each word and simultaneously listening to the speech. Will it come with practice on daily basis or any other strategy ?
tusher says:
Too lengthy sentences, really difficult to complete in a proper way.
olivia says:
They are pretty complicated scentences!
But for good reason! We want to prepare students for everything and anything they might see in the test!
GOOD LUCK! You’ve got this! 🙂

nishant sood says:
I think that the idea to understand rather than memorizing the sentence is good. I have implemented it and I have seen significant improvements in 2 days.
But, practice is the key to success. Keep listening to more and more audios e.g. audio songs and watch hollywood movies without subtitles.
Runtar says:
I am a little frustrated by the fact that this section primarily tests your memory. If you have ADD or bad short term memory, then good luck. The 3 seconds they give you before you start recording makes things even worse. Repeat Sentence has always been my weakest part in the entire exam. Sure, practice will up your game to an extend, but I feel like my progress has plateaued over the last month. I had to listen some of the same sentences 7-8 times before I could get it 100% right.
babak says:
Since it’s nearly impossible to repeat all words in respective, I, immediately, after hearing the first chunk of the sentence, repeat it to my self and simultaneously write the first of two or three words. Most of the time, it will be more than half of the all and I will 2 scores for content.

it is a easy for native language student??
FrancisTz says:
Repeat sentence is a bit challenging task in the speaking, it tests your memory. You need to understand the sentence promptly, paraphrase, and or divide into chunks, don’t memorize each word.

Aw, this was an incredibly nice post. Taking the time and actual
effort to generate a top notch article… but what can I say… I procrastinate a lot
and don’t manage to get nearly anything done.
