A Journey of Transformation
Harman’s journey with PTE School began after her first unsuccessful attempt at the PTE exam.

Recognizing the need for professional guidance, Harman enrolled in PTE School’s 1-month coaching program, following a recommendation from her brother, who had also achieved his desired score with their help.

She diligently followed the study plan, attended regular classes, and utilized the school’s self-owned practice portal to hone her skills.

Meet Harman: A Determined Student with Big Dreams
Harman, a passionate and ambitious student from India, moved to Australia to visit her family and explore opportunities for higher education. Inspired by her love for children, she decided to pursue a degree in early childhood education. However, her dream came with a significant hurdle: achieving a PTE score equivalent to an IELTS 7.5 band in all communicative skills—speaking, reading, writing, and listening.
After her first attempt at the PTE exam, Harman realized that self-study alone wouldn’t be enough.
“I was struggling with the speaking section,” she recalls. “I didn’t know what I was doing wrong, and my scores weren’t improving.”
That’s when her brother, a former PTE School student, recommended the institution.
“My younger brother who lives here also prepared for his PTE with you guys,” Harman recalls. “He told me that I should do coaching with you and you will guide me well so that I can achieve the desired score.”
This family recommendation would prove instrumental in her success story. After an unsuccessful first attempt at PTE Academic without formal preparation, Harman made the decisive choice to join PTE School’s comprehensive training program.
Her determination and trust in PTE School’s methods made all the difference. 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.
The Challenge: Mastering Speaking Skills
Harman’s initial attempt at the PTE exam revealed several areas of improvement, particularly in the speaking section. Despite her best efforts, she struggled to achieve the required fluency and pronunciation, which significantly impacted her scores.
“I was practicing at home, and the questions were speaking. I was not getting full marks. Out of 90, I was either getting 60 or 70, and I didn’t know what I was doing wrong,” Harman explains.
The speaking section posed a unique challenge because it also contributed to the reading and listening scores. For instance, the Read Aloud task accounted for 27% of the speaking score and 28% of the reading score, while the Repeat Sentence task contributed 36% to speaking and 24% to listening. Harman’s inability to perform well in these tasks not only affected her speaking score but also dragged down her overall performance.
Additionally, Harman faced difficulties with time management and grammar accuracy in the writing section. These challenges highlighted the need for a structured and personalized approach to her preparation.
