Reviewing Your Practice History

2 min read

Where to Find It

Every practice attempt you make on ClearMyPTE is logged. The full archive lives at /practice/history, accessible from the main navigation under "Practice → History" and from the quick-action menu on your dashboard.

What You See

The history page shows every attempt as a row with:

  • Question title and type (e.g. "Read Aloud — Industrial Revolution").
  • Date and time attempted.
  • Your score and the per-skill sub-scores.
  • A "Predicted" badge if the item was flagged as a prediction at the time.
  • Quick actions: Review, Re-attempt, and Listen back (Speaking only).

Filters

  • Question type: narrow to a single type — for example, only your Re-tell Lecture attempts when you want to track that specific weakness.
  • Date range: "last 7 days", "last 30 days", or a custom range. Useful for week-on-week comparisons.
  • Score band: filter to attempts under 60 to surface weak spots, or over 80 to confirm strengths.
  • Predicted only: see which predicted items you have already worked through this month.

Re-attempting

The Re-attempt button on any row opens a fresh attempt of the same question. Crucially:

  • The new attempt does not overwrite the old one — both are kept in history so you can see improvement.
  • The score panel after re-attempt shows the delta vs your last attempt on the same item.
  • For Speaking and Writing, you can play back your old recording / read your old response side-by-side with the new one.

Recommended Workflow

  1. Weekly review. Every Sunday, filter to the past 7 days, sorted by score ascending. The bottom 10 attempts are your action list.
  2. Re-attempt the worst. Re-do those 10 items the same week. Most will jump 10–15 points just from familiarity.
  3. Track sub-score trends. If "pronunciation" is the recurring low scorer across 30 Speaking attempts, that is your pattern — not a single bad attempt.
  4. Pre-exam sweep. In the final week, filter to "Predicted + score under 65" and re-attempt every one.
