Yes, definitely. 6.5 or 7 is a good English background. To achieve 79+ in PTE, you need to learn RIGHT TECHNIQUES, Study on REAL MATERIALS + DO MOCK TESTS on a regular basis.

This is totally NOT TRUE. PTE exam grading software is designed to understand different English accents. Test takers should speak as natural as possible. Just make sure you speak with an appropriate voice ( or trained by PTE trainers ) to ensure your voice is compatible with PTE machine.

Testimonials

A HUGE thanks to Julia MN, Ady Bui and PTE MASTER team. Just got my desired score this morning and it’s far beyond my expectation, 87 as a first-time test taker. They are all dedicated and exceptional trainers. The best thing here is the well-built simulated mock tests with detailed analysis that will help you to identify your weak points. I have literally gone through 6 mock tests before smashing the real one. Obviously, I would highly recommend PTE MASTER to anyone out there who are still searching for a great PTE centre. All the best to PTE MASTER!

I prepared and took PTE exam for the first time within 4 days and got 79+ in all bands. That is proof of how good and effective the methods and training platform is. Moreover, Ady and the PTE Master team are very professional and dedicated to helping their students to achieve their goal. If anyone struggling to achieve the desired PTE scores, I would highly recommend PTE Master.

PTE Master is no doubt the best PTE training centre not just in Sydney, Melbourne but in entire Australia. My friend and I all got 79 from trainer Ady Bui and Julia MN. I was broke as hell as I quit my job to focus on my PTE training. Ady Bui told me don't worry about the tuition fee, just pay back whenever I can, and just keep coming to class and learn. Within 2 months I got 79 and it wasn't that hard. With the platform and materials available online, you can study anywhere anytime.

I had a long long journey in IELTS for 4 years. Then I changed to PTE but it’s not success as well. Until I found the PTE Master and Julia. At the beginning, we talked about my biggest problem is Speaking. Computer can’t detect my voice because female voice is too soft. She can help me to improve this problem after I studied only 2 sessions. So amazing 😉 and after a month I got my desire score. Thank you PTE Master and Julia. You’re the best.

I came to PTE Master just by accidentally clicked on the Facebook Ads. Perhaps, this is the first time Facebook Ads proved to be useful. Although it was just a mistake, I won't regret it at all. After ten dating times with Pearson, I felt utterly exhausted and even starting to think of a new place likes Canada. Things changed when Julia spent nearly thirty minutes just to convince me to give it a last try. In fact, I decided to take her advice and went for the last dating with Pearson, but this time I have fully prepared with Julia's "no-brain" techniques. No doubt, I finally got my desired scores with the overall 80+. Again, thank you a bunch for just everything, Julia. You had helped me to put a step closer to my PR ticket.
