Ayush’s Journey to Success
Ayush’s journey with PTE School began in January 2024. Having seen his sister successfully achieve her target PTE score, he was motivated to pursue the same path. Despite trying multiple institutions, he ultimately chose PTE School for its structured approach and proven track record.
Within the first two weeks, Ayush completed all module lessons. He diligently practiced on the AI-driven portal, took weekly mock tests, and attended live consultations to address his weak areas. His biggest challenge? The reading section. Despite scoring 79+ in other modules, he repeatedly fell short in reading, scoring 72, 77, and 78 in his first three attempts.
Determined to succeed, Ayush sought expert guidance from his trainers. Their analysis revealed an unexpected issue: his score loss was due to the read-aloud section in the speaking module, which significantly influences reading scores. By refocusing his strategy, Ayush overcame this hurdle and finally scored 86 in reading, securing an overall score of 82 in his fourth attempt.
Meet Ayush: Background & Motivation
A driven and goal-oriented student, Ayush aimed to secure 20 PR points by scoring 79+ in all sections of the PTE Academic exam. His decision to pursue PTE Academic was driven by his goal of securing permanent residency in Australia. Having seen his sister excel with PTE School, he was inspired to follow the same path.
Before joining PTE School, Ayush explored other institutions but found them lacking in personalized support and up-to-date resources.
“I wanted a program that could adapt to my specific needs,” Ayush recalls. “PTE School stood out because of their tailored approach and commitment to student success.”
Ayush’s preparation was methodical. He completed all modules within two weeks, practiced daily on the portal, and took regular mock tests. His dedication, combined with PTE School’s expert guidance, ultimately led to his success.
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.
His background in self-study and previous experience with other institutions gave him a unique perspective on the advantages of PTE School’s methodology. The center’s flexible scheduling and comprehensive resources aligned perfectly with his learning style and goals.
Challenges Faced in PTE Preparation
Despite his dedication, Ayush encountered a major obstacle: the reading section.
- Struggled to cross the 79 mark: Scored 72, 77, and 78 in successive attempts.
- Misidentified the root cause: Focused on fill-in-the-blanks while overlooking read-aloud.
- Time Management Issues: Required better pacing strategies for reading tasks.
- Confidence Drops: Repeated failures in the reading section caused frustration.
“No matter how much I practiced fill-in-the-blanks, my reading score just wouldn’t improve. It was frustrating until my trainer helped me understand the real issue.” – Ayush
Ayush’s primary challenge was achieving a score of 79 in the reading section, a hurdle that cost him three attempts. Despite scoring well in speaking, writing, and listening, he consistently fell short in reading.
“I was stuck at 78 in reading for three attempts,” Ayush shares. “It was frustrating because I knew I was so close, but I couldn’t figure out what was holding me back.”
The reading section’s complexity lies in its interconnected scoring. For instance, the “Read Aloud” task contributes to both speaking and reading scores, while “Fill in the Blanks” impacts reading and writing. Ayush initially focused on “Fill in the Blanks” but later discovered that “Read Aloud” was his Achilles’ heel.
