    PTE51to65

    Bachelor's in Australia

    I was stuck at 51 using templates from YouTube. My teacher told me to drop them and fix my fluency and timing in Read Aloud and Retell Lecture instead. 5 weeks later I scored 65.

    Diploma pathway, Australia

    Writing from Dictation was where I lost the most marks. We drilled it every day in the midday batch. My listening went from 44 to 60, and my overall score from 46 to 58.

    PTE59to73

    Master's in the UK

    My university wanted 65 in each skill and my speaking was 55. 3 one-to-one sessions on pace and pausing fixed it. I got 74 in speaking and 73 overall.

How the course works

Your weeks, from level test to result

PTE is marked by a computer, item by item. So the course works item by item too: you'll see your score on each skill after every mock, and spend your practice time on the items that cost you most.

  1. Day 0

    Free level test

    A timed test across speaking, writing, reading and listening, with your score in each.

  2. Day 1

    Your plan and demo class

    Your target score, the items holding you back, and which batch fits your day.

  3. Weeks 1 to 2

    Every item type

    How each of the item types is scored, and what the computer listens and looks for.

  4. Weekly

    Scored mock tests

    10 mocks in total, with a score for each skill; 3 under full exam conditions.

  5. Weeks 2 to 5

    Speaking and timing

    3 one-to-one sessions on fluency, pronunciation and pausing, the areas where scores move fastest.

  6. Week 5

    Book the real test

    We help you book a Pearson test centre in Kathmandu on a date before your application deadline.

  7. Week 6

    Final mock and test-day briefing

    One last full mock, then headset checks, timing and what to bring.

  8. After the test

    Your result and next step

    Results usually arrive within 2 days. Missed your target? Join the next batch free for 2 weeks.

About templates

Many students in Nepal learn memorised templates for speaking and writing items. Templates that don't answer the task can be marked down, and they don't help with the items that matter most: fluency, pronunciation and listening. We teach structures you can adapt, not scripts.

IELTS, PTE or TOEFL?

Which test is right for you?

All three tests are accepted by most of the universities we work with. PTE's main strengths are speed and its acceptance for Australia.

  • You need your score in under 2 weeks. We'll tell you honestly what a short course can and can't do.
  • You want a guaranteed score. Nobody can promise one.

Questions about PTE classes

How much do PTE classes cost in Kathmandu?

Ours cost Rs 14,000 for 6 weeks or Rs 11,000 for 4 weeks, with 10 scored mocks and 3 one-to-one speaking sessions included. The level test and demo class are free.

What is the PTE exam fee in Nepal?

USD 220, about NPR 33,500 at the 18 October 2026 rate. Pearson charges in USD, so you'll need a card that pays in dollars. Check the current fee on Pearson's site.

Is 2 weeks enough for PTE?

Only if you're already close to your target. Our students gained 11 points on average over 6 weeks. The free level test tells you what's realistic.

How fast do PTE results come?

Usually within 2 days of the test.

Do PTE templates work?

Not on their own. Templates that don't answer the task can be marked down, and they don't fix fluency, pronunciation or listening, where most points are. Manoj, above, gained 14 points after he stopped using them.

Is PTE accepted for an Australian student visa?

Yes. Australia accepts PTE Academic for student visas. Your university may ask for a higher score than the visa minimum.

PTE or IELTS, which should I take?

PTE if you want fast results and are comfortable with a computer, especially for Australia; IELTS if you'd rather speak to a person or are applying to several countries. See our IELTS classes.
