The value of vocabulary is something that every PTE Expert and applicant who has taken the PTE can attest to.
The Value of Vocabulary in PTE
In general, a language is made up of words; the more variation you can exhibit in the words by using them appropriately, the more you come across as a natural speaker of that language. It shows that you have a strong mastery of the language.
Similarly, being an English language proficiency test, PTE requires you to demonstrate a good vocabulary range in order to be considered a’very excellent’ or ‘expert’ user of the language. Take any PTE Task, and the second most important thing that might effect your score, after grammar, is your understanding of various types of terms.
In the practical context, where you may wish to study or work in a foreign country, vocabulary knowledge will be quite beneficial in assimilating into the environment. Using the correct words at the appropriate time has an effect. So vocab is more than just words; it is also a question of usage, which is known technically as collocation.
Remember that the PTE measures academic English, thus you must use more formal language.
