Moreover, there are smart solutions that can easily help struggling students to go places without any hiccups.

Hurdle No. 3 – How to Score Good to Study Abroad?
Students in India have been taking TOEFL IBT and IELTS over the years. However, not many score good enough to get into a good college that offer the program that they want to study. One of the main reasons why several students fail to crack IELTS is that, they get anxious while speaking face-to-face with the person who rates them. While, TOEFL iBT gives them the advantage to speak into the computer’s micro-phone, the fact that, it is evaluated by a human rater hinders their chance yet again to score good.
This makes PTE language skills test more reliable mainly because it is evaluated completely by computer program without any human-interference. This is the reason why more and more Indian students are now preferring this new English test (#DefinitelyPTE) over the older two to score goody in order to study abroad. Besides, the results are out in 5 days and students can take the test any day of the year by registering up to 24 hours in advance.
