Summary
Francis was a full-time worker who needed to increase her visa points for Australian permanent residency. To qualify, she needed a minimum score of 79 in each section of the PTE exam. Getting a higher PR point for the visa is necessary for anyone seeking permanent residency in Australia. A PTE score of 79 is equivalent to an IELTS score of 8, showing excellent English communication skills and earning 20 PR points.
Since Francis was taking the PTE test for the first time, she found the process confusing, despite having a firm grasp of English. The PTE School provided guidance to Francis in order to improve her PTE skills and achieve the score she needed. Our highly qualified trainer used world-class techniques and our study materials to train Francis for her PTE exam.
After joining PTE School, Francis attended regular classes and practiced on the portal for each subject. Whenever she encountered difficulties, she watched recorded lectures and tips shared by the trainer. She continued to learn and practice diligently, taking notes of all the helpful tips and tricks shared in class and video lectures. These notes assisted her during her practice sessions.
She would take section-wise mock tests after completing each module of the PTE to assess her learning. Once she finished all four modules, she began taking the full mock test.
During the mock tests, she noticed she was not achieving the desired score in the Speaking & Listening section. As a result, she scheduled a one-on-one consultation with the trainer to address the issue. The trainer identified her problem and provided guidance on how to improve her scores.
Under the guidance of Hafiz at PTE School, Francis embarked on a two-week coaching program. As a first-time test taker, she initially lacked confidence. However, Hafiz’s personalized approach helped her focus on key areas: speaking, writing, reading, and listening.
Meet Francis, who scored 90 in PTE exam within in 21 days
Francis enrolled in the PTE School with the goal of scoring 79 on PTE. She was from the Philippines and had completed a community service diploma in Australia. Despite being a full-time worker, she joined our 2-week PTE preparation course. Every day, she dedicated at least 2 hours to practice after work. She was fully committed to studying, whether it was taking mock tests, using prediction files, watching recorded lectures, or doing individual practices on the portal. Sometimes, she would study until 2 am. Her dedication paid off when she achieved her desired score on her first attempt at PTE.
Based on our course outline, it is possible for any student to finish all the PTE modules in a mere 2 weeks. However, our trainer recommended Francis finish the lectures in one week since she took a two-week course. Francis finished her lessons in just one week and started practicing. Since she had a firm grasp of grammar, it was not difficult for her to comprehend and absorb the material.
For PTE preparation, we consistently advocate for our students to follow a simple method. Those are; i) learn the basic and fundamental, ii) practice with understanding, iii) attend mock test to check the progress; iv) sit for 1-on-1 consultation for better feedback and guidance.
Francis, like others, also followed the method. Initially, she went through the lectures, practiced on our practice portal, took weekly section-wise and full mock tests, and eventually had a consultation with the trainer for feedback. Through her dedication and the practice methods we recommended, she could achieve the score in PTE.
Francis’s dedication extended beyond the initial two-week coaching period. She booked her exam for three weeks after her coaching ended. Recognizing her commitment, PTE School provided her with an additional week of access to their learning resources and continued support, including video and audio feedback, and one-on-one sessions.
Challenge
Although Francis had a strong command of English grammar, she faced difficulties with writing, as well as fill in the blanks and write from dictation. Her true area of weakness was in her writing skills. Despite her writing ability, she would often struggle to maintain her ideas when faced with pressure. Once more, when faced with a lengthy fill-in-the-blank passage, she struggled to finish it because the pressure caused her to become confused and find it difficult to select the correct word. Additionally, she was struggling to finish the dictation task, which was the last item. Write from dictation significantly improves scores in the listening and writing sections of the PTE. Francis used to miss her target scores in the mock tests because of poor time management.
Once she had attempted a few practice tests, she came to the understanding that she couldn’t resolve it by herself and needed the expertise of a professional. Therefore, she scheduled a meeting with the trainer to find a resolution for her issue.
I believe that it’s actually my weakness is really in my writing, because although I am able to write, but, you know, under pressure, my ideas, I just lose my ideas every time I’m writing under pressure. – Francis
Solution
After booking the consultation, Francis and our trainer had a meeting to discuss her issue. Because Francis was sincere and diligent, she quickly resolved her problems. She simply obeyed the instructions of the trainer. The trainer instructed Francis to practice as much as possible. Our trainer also recommended that she practice questions of various difficulty levels from our practice portal. The question categories in our practice portal are classified into different difficulty levels, such as easy, moderate, hard, and very hard. Students can benefit from challenging themselves and enhancing their skills.
Aside from the prediction file, let me just say that the platform that we’re using, you know, how we have, how these materials are made available to us, the video lectures, the predictions and everything else. It’s very helpful, especially for me.- Francis
One of the key strategies Francis employed was following the PTE School’s prediction file. This monthly publication of repeated exam questions gave her a significant advantage. In fact, she encountered the same essay topic in her exam that she had practiced just two days prior, allowing her to complete it with time to spare for proofreading.
To achieve a high score in the PTE, students should adopt specific techniques that facilitate the process. Francis received assistance from our trainer with various tips and tricks. Along with that, the trainer also gave her some necessary templates to adhere to. Francis used those templates as a guide, but never completely memorized them. She comprehended the information and strengthened her short-term memory.
She made sure to practice not only during the scheduled time but also whenever she had some spare time. During her daily commute from the office to home, she made a habit of listening to the trainer’s discussions or class recordings. We gave Francis the latest materials and access to the practice portal so they could prepare and receive training for the PTE exam. The results of the automated mock test provided her with a rapid understanding of her errors. The AI’s suggestions during her practice sessions also assisted her in making the necessary corrections.
Whenever she needed assistance or had any questions, our online student support system, which was always bustling with activity, was readily accessible. Our team of online student support is incredibly skilled at resolving any issues that students may face. Francis used to send his practice results to the online team for feedback, and our experts would promptly respond with the necessary feedback and suggestions.
Previously, our admin would give a gentle reminder and making sure she didn’t forget about the mock test. We consistently monitored her progress and tracked her scores on practice tests. We were confident that Francis would achieve her desired score if she followed the trainer’s practice suggestions.
To gauge her progress, Francis took five to six full-length mock tests. Despite making mistakes in some areas, her consistent performance impressed the PTE School team. They were confident in her potential for success.
