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