PTE Academic training for Australia: timing, scoring, and the four skills.
The interface is the live product. No screenshot is shown where one was not published.
Overview
VELA is a PTE Academic studio aimed at Australia. It is built around the exam’s actual constraints: timing, scoring, and the four skills. It sits beside the science platforms; it is not the centre of the research identity.
Problem
English exam prep often ignores the clock and the scoring model, which is where PTE is actually won or lost.
Solution
A public training site organised by skill, timing, and score — a sail, in the site’s own metaphor, not a phrasebook.
Architecture
- Public platform at pte.ahmedmf.online.
- Four skills, with timing and scoring kept visible.

Features
- Speaking, writing, reading, and listening under exam conditions of time and score.
Challenges

Results

Lessons learned
- Put the scoring model on the page. Candidates already know they need vocabulary.
