I don't have many tips and tricks. Mostly I followed the youtube videos. But, speaking and the essay was my biggest phobia. So I practised in a little different way. Describe Image: Initially, I would write the description for different types of images and read them aloud. I did this until I was comfortable with various chart and image types. Once I arrived at my own format for the images, I started practising without writing.
Essay: http://www.expatforum.com/expats/13439314-post20991.html From that link, you can download the essay points. These are not complete essays but few points on each essay. What I did was, I wrote one essay everyday using the points mentioned in the document. After few days, I became comfortable with the essay template and how to express the ideas and some common vocabulary. And remember, content is not important in PTE essay. So stop worrying about writing "correct opinion" .
By the way, I am not a native speaker and my english is just average. All the best.
If you don't mind, why don't you leave some tips and tricks to get high scores in PTE for us.
Anyway, Congrats!!
