Choosing an English language test to go abroad? #DefinitelyPTE


The globalised world has shaped the importance of English as a global language. From Los Angeles to Christchurch, English has spread its roots to become the official language of the unions and finance. India and Indians are not an exception here. India has accepted English as an official language of union and diplomatic communication since independence. There are very few countries in the world which are as linguistically diverse as India. Though I am writing this blog in English, my most comfortable language of communication is my mother tongue, Marathi. Millions of students and professionals who aspire to study abroad need to skill up their English language. All you need is practice and guidance.

Lack of expertise in Grammar is a major issue for most aspirational Indians. At large, English is a complicated language. Before applying for universities abroad, a student must groom himself with effective English writing, hearing and speaking skills. Universities generally look for intelligent candidates who are equally good at everything. A good score in Quants and a bad score in English could affect your chances of being selected. English becomes an important choice of communication between the local students and international students. Also, an effective English portrays on employment readiness for students who are willing to work abroad once they finish their studies.
