Here’s a myth that does the rounds; “native English speakers are able to score more easily compared to other students.” It’s a misconception that the fluency depends upon whether you are well-informed on the subject or not.
Oral fluency refers to the speed, flow, and accuracy of grammar in the candidate’s response. A lack of fluency occurs when you know next to nothing on the topic in question. That is when you start using filler words, and irrelevant words just for the sake of completing the task type of the PTE mock test. Ultimately leading to low scores in the Speaking section of the PTE test.
Pronunciation, on the other hand, is the natural articulation and clarity of every word in the sentence that the candidate utters during the examination. It so happens, that at times, the candidate is well aware of the subject but is unable to express his response in words. The candidate starts to struggle while speaking and this struggle becomes palpable to the examiner resulting in loss of marks.
