Meet Farhan: A Determined Student with a Clear Goal
Farhan was pursuing a Master’s degree in Civil Engineering in Australia when he realized his visa was about to expire. To extend his stay and continue his studies, he needed to apply for a Temporary Residency (TR) visa, which required a PTE Academic score of at least 65 in each section.
Coming from an IELTS background, Farhan found the PTE format unfamiliar and challenging. “I started watching YouTube videos, but they only provided basic information. I needed detailed guidance and strategies to succeed,” Farhan recalls.
This led him to PTE School’s free masterclass, where he discovered the structured approach and expert support he needed.
“After the masterclass, I knew PTE School was the right choice. Their methods were clear, and the trainers were incredibly supportive,” he says.
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.
This is Farhan’s inspiring success story of dedication, smart work, and expert support that led him to achieve a remarkable score of 66 on his first attempt.
