How we train Students?

A mock test is conducted on the very first day of training, simulating the testing conditions to check where the student stands in terms of English abilities. Test scores are given to the individual once the test is over. We use the Pearson's Official guide, which is an official publication on PTE, to conduct these classroom sessions

Speaking is conducted on a one on one basis, and is conducted on the lines of the test. Answers are then discussed once the section is complete. Scores and guidelines are provided to improve the scores

In Writing, the types of questions are explained with essay writing guidelines. Students are made to practice all the compositions of summary and essay types from the test software. Each essay is assessed and guidelines are provided to make the essay better

For Reading, details are provided about various question types, and approaches are explained to answer the same. These questions are then practiced from the test software. In this manner, all four tests are completed with the students

The Listening section is played nonstop, so students answer the questions as they listen. A discussion is then held where the faculty and students discuss the answers

What Edwise Students Say...

“The edwise mock test for the PTE was amazing and really helped me understand the format of the test and the coaching helped me to thoroughly prepare for the test. “
Saher - PTE Coaching

“I am writing this testimonial to Edwise International and especially to my tutor for PTE. I was tensed before giving my PTE exam because I got my passport late and I had to clear the exam in a single attempt. I explained the situation to her. She helped me a lot. Those two sessions were really very very crucial for me as I scored 77/90 in PTE with 90/90 in speaking. This score has also helped me in getting a part time job in Australia as well. My tutor was very calm, understanding, I am really thankful to Edwise and for the overall experience with a Coaching Dept.”

Strategies for GRE - Quantitative

The Quantitative Reasoning measure has four types of questions:
  • Quantitative Comparison questions
  • Multiple-choice questions- Select one answer choice
  • Multiple-choice questions- Select one or more answer choices
  • Numeric entry questions
Each question appears either independently as a discrete question or as part of a set of questions called data interpretation. All of the questions are based on the same data presented in tables, graphs or other displays of data

In the computer based test, you are allowed to use a basic calculator- provided on screen, on the Quantitative Reasoning measure

Quantitative Comparison Questions

Questions of this type will ask you to compare two quantities and then determine which of the statements describes the comparison

Tips for Answering

  • Quantitative Comparison questions usually have the same answer choices, so ensure that you go through every answer choice

  • Do not spend time solving computations, simply transform or estimate the given quantities only as much as is necessary to compare them

  • If one or both numbers are algebraic expressions, you can substitute easy numbers for the variables and compare the resulting quantities in your analysis

  • If both the quantities are algebraic or arithmetic expressions, and you cannot establish a relationship, try to simplify the comparison

Multiple choice questions- Select one answer choice

In multiple choice questions, ensure that you select only one answer choice

  • Your answer is in one of the five options, ensure that you read the question properly, and do not miss out on any important detail

  • Consider each of your answer choices separately, determine if you can make a relationship between the choices that will help you find the answer

  • Scan the choices, before solving the problem to get a better sense of what the question is asking


Multiple choice questions- Select one or more answer choices

These questions ask you to select one or more answer choices from the given list. A question may or may not specify the number of choices to select. These questions are marked with square boxes beside the answer choices, not circles or ovals

  • Consider all of the choices, determine the ones that are correct and select them. In some cases, there may be only one correct choice

  • Knowing the least or greatest possible value may enable you to quickly determine all the choices that are correct

  • Avoid lengthy calculations by recognizing and continuing numerical patterns

Numeric Entry questions

Questions of this type ask you to either enter your answer as an integer or a decimal in a single answer box or enter it as a fraction in two separate boxes, one for the numerator and one for the denominator

  • Considering there are no answer choices to guide you, read the question thoroughly and make sure you provide the type of answer required

  • If you are asked to round your answer, make sure that you round it to the required degree of accuracy. If no rounding instructions are given, enter the exact number

  • Examine your answer to see if it is reasonable with respect to the information given. Always double check your answer
