Pearson, the world’s leading learning company, has released various preparation methods for its Pearson Test of English (PTE) Academic to help candidates achieve the best score possible to immigrate to a country of their choice successfully.
With approximately 89 per cent of the UAE’s population being expatriates, moving abroad for higher education and job opportunities is common. In this region, the US, the UK, Canada, and Australia are among the most popular countries that people immigrate to as a gateway to overall growth and progress. Having strong English language skills is mandatory to immigrate and for individuals to have access to a wider range of information, a more diverse, international network, and more job opportunities.
A study conducted by Meticulous Research confirms this, the English language learning market is anticipated to grow at a rate of 6.2 per cent and will reach an estimated worth of $54.92 billion by 2027.
To be able to move to English-majority countries, an English language proficiency test is necessary for residential, student and work visas. Hence, for test-takers to prepare for PTE Academic, Pearson has launched some digital self-study preparation resources to support them to achieve their desired score.
Ipek Aydin, Head of PTE for the Middle East & Africa commented: “Like any exam, the PTE Academic test requires practice, especially when one wants to qualify for prestigious opportunities. We provide a range of preparation options to help candidates score better and achieve their dreams of moving abroad. We help them improve their overall English-language skills.”
Preparation methods to gain a high score in the exam include:
Official coursebooks
These are all the study materials that candidates need. These comprise a guide plus full-length practice tests with answer keys. Candidates acquire knowledge and the ability to test that knowledge out.
Scored online practice tests
A good starting point is to understand one’s current English proficiency level. Through Scored Practice Tests, candidates understand the score they could achieve on the real test. It shows individual scores for each of the communicative skills (listening, reading, speaking, and writing), so candidates can understand which skill needs improvement.
