Abroad.
Seems like a dream, doesn’t it? The first world life, state of the art amenities, chic malls, expensive brands…it’s fascinating. Be it work or studies or permanently settling down, “abroad” is surely present in a lot of Indian millennials’ bucket list.
However, one simply cannot ignore the practical aspects. Our passports may not be validated, we might not get the required visa, some of us may not get into the university of our choice, overtly difficult English acceptance tests: the obstacle list is endless.
Pearson India brings forth a great initiative to simplify one of the steps in this cumbersome preparatory process: the PTE Academic test.
If you haven’t already heard about the PTE Academic test, then let me tell you that it is one of the leading computer-based English tests globally. It is fast, comes with a user-friendly interface and gives reliable results.
Common problems faced while moving abroad
There are many. But one of the most important obstacles lies in asserting your eligibility to move abroad. You cannot just wake up one bright sunny morning and decide that you’ll be going to pursue your Masters in Australia.
Based on popular choice, Canada and Germany are the two most sought-after countries for a foreign education. These two nations are closely followed by Australia, the United States and Italy in that order.

English, as a subject, happens to be a serious challenge to many Indian students, especially those who have not had English as a medium of study in high school. Most English language tests evaluate the following three aspects mandatorily:
- Spoken English
- Written English
- Listening to and answering in English
PTE Academic by Pearson India is a one of its kind test which assesses all these aspects without giving you the anxiety of the other qualifiers. You can take the test at your convenience, 360 days of the year. The test is approved by the Australian and New Zealand governments for visa applications and accepted by thousands of institutions in the UK, Australia, USA, Canada, New Zealand, and Ireland, including Harvard, Yale and INSEAD, The Anglo-American University, Volda University College, to name a few.
