“Hi Fife, Just to let you know I received my results this morning, and to my surprise I received top marks! I was actually a little disappointed when I came out the test because I ran out of time on my essay. I was so engrossed in my writing, and then the time elapsed and I was still mid-sentence. Anyway, it obviously didn’t matter in the end. I’m really happy and surprised by the result. And just want to thank you again for your help and tuition. 90, 90, 90, 87.”

“Excuse my Essex way of speaking here… but OMG Jeremy!! I’ve just got home from my PTE test and have had the text message already that my result was back. I’m genuinely shocked at my score, as you know I only needed above 79 in each section, but to get this score across the board is incredible. I honestly couldn’t have done this without your help and guidance.
Please see my scoring below:
Speaking : 90
Listening : 90
Reading : 90
Writing : 90“
