Questions about pte preparation

  • Which PTE product do I need?

    PTE is a family of products with different purposes. Confirm the exact product name with the body receiving your score before you register or start preparation.

  • Is PTE easier than IELTS?

    Neither is easier. They test differently and are accepted differently. We help you choose on evidence, not preference.

  • Will PTE be accepted for my course?

    Only the receiving institution or authority can confirm that. We never promise acceptance.

  • Do you provide official practice tests?

    You buy official practice directly. We provide original exercises and marking.

  • Is the scoring automated?

    Yes for much of the test, which is why response discipline matters. We teach for accuracy, not tricks.

  • How many sessions?

    Usually eight to twelve, set after the diagnostic.

  • IELTS preparation

    Skill-by-skill IELTS preparation with marked writing and speaking feedback, matched to the exact IELTS product you need.

  • Cambridge English preparation

    Level-accurate preparation for Cambridge English qualifications, from B2 First through C1 Advanced and C2 Proficiency.
