Your Free 15-Day PTE Study Plan
A day-by-day preparation sequence designed by Smriti Simkhada — the same structure she uses with 1,000+ students. Each day covers one or two task types, in the order that builds your score fastest.
Day 1: PTE Format + Scoring System
90 minUnderstand all section types and how many items each has
Learn exactly how the AI scoring engine works — pronunciation, fluency, content, form
Read the task-by-task scoring guide (find it in the Materials section)
Set up your headset and microphone — do a test recording
Smriti's note: Most students fail because they prepare for the wrong things. Day 1 is about building an accurate mental model, not practising yet.
Day 2: Baseline Mock Test
2.5 hrsTake a full timed practice mock test (use Pearson Scored Practice or a trusted provider)
Do not pause, do not cheat — replicate real test conditions
After finishing, note your lowest-scoring sections and task types
This score is your starting point — every session from Day 3 is targeted at the gap
Smriti's note: Your baseline mock score tells you exactly which tasks need most attention. Without it, Days 3–13 is guesswork.
This plan works best if you…
Good fit
- You have a baseline PTE score or a solid English foundation
- You are targeting 65+, 79+, or 90+ for Australia PR, student visa, or AHPRA/ACS assessment
- You can dedicate 90–150 minutes per day for 15 consecutive days
- You want structure — a clear task-by-task sequence instead of random practice
- You are a retaker who wants to know what to fix, not just practise everything again
You may need more support if…
- –You are starting from a very low English base — 30–45 days may be more realistic
- –You have never taken any English test and need foundational grammar work first
- –You have less than 1 hour per day — compressed timelines rarely work without coaching
- –Your exam is in fewer than 7 days — intensive 1-on-1 coaching is a better use of that time
