A mock is conducted on the first day of training itself, to determine where the candidate stands in terms of English language skills. The candidate is given the scores, once the test is over. The classroom training then begins; we use Barron's TOEFL Book, a standard book for TOEFL to conduct these classroom sessions.

For Reading, our faculty staffs provide details about the various types of questions, passages are assigned and students are asked to solve the passages. Towards the end of each test, difficulties are discussed and answers are explained. In Listening, the test is played nonstop and students answer the questions as they listen.

For Writing, both the types of essays are explained, along with guidelines for writing the essays. These essays are then assessed, and students are advised on how to improve on their essays.
The Speaking section is conducted on a one on one basis, and is conducted on the lines of the test. Answers are discussed once the session is complete. Scores are then given and guidelines are provided to improve the scores. In this way seven practice tests are completed with the students. Once the classroom sessions are complete, mock tests are conducted.

    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 of the GRE revised general test assesses your basic mathematical skills, understanding of elementary mathematical concepts and the ability to reason quantitatively, and to model and solve problems with quantitative methods

    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
