Movie Odyssey Retrospective

The Phantom of the Opera (1925)

By the time French journalist-turned-novelist Gaston Leroux published Le Fantôme de l'Opéra as a serial in 1909, he was best known for his detective fiction, deeply influenced by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and Edgar Allan Poe. The Phantom of the Opera plays out like a Poe work – teeming with the macabre, painted with one character’s fanatic, violent lust. In serial form and, later, as a novel, Leroux’s work won praise across the West. One of the book’s many fans was Universal Pictures president Carl Laemmle who, on a 1922 trip to Paris, met with Leroux. While on the trip, he read Phantom (a copy gifted to him by Leroux) in a single night, and bought the film rights with a certain actor already in mind.

Laemmle’s first and only choice for the role of the Phantom was about to play Quasimodo in Universal’s 1923 adaptation of Victor Hugo’s The Hunchback of Notre Dame. That actor, Lon Chaney, had subsisted on bit roles and background parts since entering into a contract with Universal in 1912. Chaney, who was about to sign a contract with Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer (MGM), became an instant sensation the moment The Hunchback of Notre Dame hit theaters. Audiences and critics in the early 1920s were simultaneously horrified at the sight of his Quasimodo yet, crucially, felt a profound empathy towards the character.

In his prior films, as well as Hunchback, Chaney separated himself from his fellow bit actors with a skill that almost no other actor in Hollywood possessed: he was also a makeup artist. At this time, actors applied their own makeup – often simple cosmetics or unconvincing facial hair. None of the major Hollywood studios had makeup departments in the early 1920s, and it would not be until the 1940s that each studio had such a department. Chaney, the son of two deaf and mute adults, was also a master of physical acting, and could expertly use his hands and arms to empower a scene. Though already bound for MGM, Chaney could not possibly pass up the role of Erik, the Phantom. Despite frequent clashes with director Rupert Julian (1923’s Merry-Go-Round and 1930’s The Cat Creeps; despite being Universal’s most acclaimed director at this time, Julian was either sacked or walked away mid-production), Chaney’s performance alone earned him his place in cinematic history and, for this film, an iconic work of horror cinema and silent film.

As the film begins, we find ourselves at the Palais Garnier, home of the Paris Opera. The Opera’s management has resigned, turning over the Palais Garnier to new ownership. As the ink dries on the contract and as the previous owners depart, they warn about a Phantom of the Opera, who likes sitting in one of the box seats. Soon after, prima donna Carlotta (Virginia Pearson) receives a threatening letter from the Phantom. She must step aside and allow a chorus girl, Christine Daaé (Mary Philbin), sing the lead role in Charles Gounod’s Faust. If she refuses to comply, the Phantom promises something horrific. Aware of the letter, Christine the next day confers with her loved one, the Vicomte Raoul de Chagny (Norman Kerry), that she has been receiving musical guidance from a “Spirit of Music”, whom she has heard through the walls of her dressing room. Raoul laughs this off, but a series of murderous incidents at that evening’s production of Faust is no laughing matter. Christine eventually meets the shadowy musical genius of the Phantom, whose name is Erik (Chaney). In his subterranean lair, he professes his love to her – a love that will never die.

Rupert Julian’s The Phantom of the Opera also stars Arthur Edmund Carewe as the Inspector Ledoux (for fans of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s musical version, this is the Madame Giry character); Gibson Gowland as Simon Buquet; and John St. Polis as Raoul’s brother, the Comte Philippe de Chagny.

Before extoling this film, one has to single out Mary Philbin and Norman Kerry as the glaring underperformers in this adaptation. Philbin would become a much better actress than she displays here, if The Man Who Laughs (1928) is any indication. Yet, Philbin’s Christine is a blank slate, devoid of much personality and interest. It also does not help that Norman Kerry plays Raoul in a similar fashion. Raoul, in any adaptation of Phantom, tends to be a boring role. But goodness me, for a B-actor who was acclaimed for his tall, dark, and handsome looks and screen persona, he is a charisma vacuum here. During Kerry’s more intimate scenes with Philbin, you may notice that Kerry has a case of “roving hands” when he gets close with Philbin. Philbin, who could not visibly react to these moments on-camera, surreptitiously took Kerry’s hands and held them there to stop the touching.

Philbin is much better when sharing the screen opposite Chaney. Chaney and Philbin both could not stand director Rupert Julian – whom both actors, as well almost all of the crew, regarded as an imposing fraud who knew little about making art and more about how to cut costs (Laemmle appointed Julian for this film in part due to Julian’s reputation for delivering work under budget). There are unconfirmed accounts that after Julian’s departure or removal from Phantom, Chaney himself directed the remainder of the shoot aside from the final climactic chase scene (which was the uncredited Edward Sedgwick’s responsibility). In any case, Philbin’s terror when around Chaney was real. The sets of the Phantom’s lair reportedly spooked her – the subterranean waterways, his inner sanctum. Philbin also received no preparation before the filming of what is now one of the signature moments of the silent film era and all of horror cinema. Her reaction to Lon Chaney’s self-applied makeup – meant to appear half-skin, half-skeletal – was the first time that she saw Chaney’s Phantom in all his gruesomeness. Philbin, freed of the innocent, pedestrian dialogue of the film’s opening act, gifts to the camera one hell of a reaction, fully fitting within the bounds of silent film horror.

There are conflicting records on how Chaney achieved the Phantom’s final appearance. The descriptions forthcoming are the elements that freely-available scholarship generally accepts as true. It appears that Chaney utilized a skull cap to raise his forehead’s height, as well as marking deep pencil lines onto that cap to accentuate wrinkles and his brow. He also raised his cheekbones by stuffing cotton into his cheeks, as well as placing a set of stylized, decaying dentures. Inner-nasal wiring altered the angle of his nose, and white highlights across his face contributed to his skeletal look for the cameras. Cinematographer Charles Van Enger (1920's The Last of the Mohicans, uncredited on 1925's The Big Parade) – who, other than Chaney, was one of the most familiar onset with Chaney’s makeup – claimed that the nasal wiring sometimes led to significant bleeding. Taking inspiration from Chaney’s approach to keeping the makeup artistry hidden from Philbin and others, Universal kept the Phantom’s true appearance a secret from the public and press. The studio advised movie theaters to keep smelling salts ready, in case of audience members fainting during the unmasking scene. According to popular reporting at the time, audience members did scream and faint upon the reveal; a nine-year-old Gregory Peck’s first movie memory was being so terrified of Lon Chaney’s Phantom, that he asked to sleep with his grandmother that evening after he came home.

Lon Chaney’s tremendous performance allows The Phantom of the Opera to soar. Arguably, it is his career pinnacle. Masked or unmasked, Chaney’s Phantom dominates the frame at any moment he is onscreen aside from the film’s final chase sequence. Whether glowering over Christine, majestically gesturing in silhouette, strutting down the Opera House steps during the Bal Masqué, or tucked into the corner of the frame, Chaney’s physical presence draws the audience’s eyes to whatever he is doing. The differences in posture from before and after the unmasking scene are striking – from an elegant specter to a broken, hunched figure (appearing to draw some inspiration from his experience playing Quasimodo two years earlier) seething with pent-up carnality, rage, and sorrow. Chaney’s Phantom garners the audience’s sympathy when he gives Christine the grand tour of his chambers. Look at his posture and hands when he mentions, “That is where I sleep,” and, “If I am the Phantom, it is because man’s hatred has made me so.”  That Chaney can ease through these transitions and transformations – as well as a third transformation, as the Red Death during the Bal Masqué – so naturally, without a misstep, is a testament to his acting ability.

Underneath the tortured and twisted visage of a man who has committed horrific acts is a vulnerable and misguided human being. His dreams, dashed and discarded by all others, have turned to despicable means. The role of the Phantom plays brilliantly to Chaney’s genius: to have audiences sympathize with even the most despicable or despondent characters he played. Chaney accomplishes this despite this film characterizing the Phantom with less sympathy than Leroux’s original novel and the popular Andrew Lloyd Webber musical.

This is already on top of Charles Van Enger’s camerawork; the sharp editing from a team including Edward Curtiss (1932’s Scarface) Maurice Pivar (1923’s The Hunchback of Notre Dame), Gilmore Walker (1927’s Uncle Tom’s Cabin), and Lois Weber.

Weber, who in 1916 was Universal’s highest-paid director, underwent numerous financial difficulties over that decade. One of Hollywood’s first true auteurs and largely ignored in the history of film until recently, Weber formed her own production company with Universal’s assistance in 1917, off the success of Shoes (1916). Through World War I, Weber’s movies were popular until around the turn of the decade, when her “didactic” filmmaking (a result of her devout Christian upbringing) went out of style. Most visibly among Weber’s financial failures of the early 1920s, The Blot (1921) – a movie that scholars and Weber himself considered her best – flopped in theaters. After two hiatuses from filmmaking in the early 1920s, Weber was brought in to conduct the final bits of editing on The Phantom of the Opera before returning to directing under Universal.

Though none of the film’s production designers were yet to hit their peak, The Phantom of the Opera benefitted from having a soon-to-be all-star art department including James Basevi (1944’s The Song of Bernadette), Cedric Gibbons (almost any and all MGM movies from 1925 onward), and Robert Florey (1932’s Murders in the Rue Morgue). Inspired by designs sketched by French art director Ben Carré, the production design trio spared no expense to bring Carré’s illustrations to life and used the entirety of Universal’s Soundstage 28 to construct all necessary interior sets. The set’s five tiers of seating and vast foyer needed to support several hundred extras. So unlike the customary wooden supports commonplace during the silent era for gargantuan sets, The Phantom of the Opera’s set for the Palais Garnier became the first film set ever to use steel supports planted into concrete. Basevi, Gibbons, and Florey’s work is glorious, with no special effects to supplement the visuals. The seventeen-minute Bal Masqué scene – which was shot in gorgeous two-strip Technicolor (the earliest form of Technicolor, which emphasized greens and reds) – is the most striking of all, unfurling its gaudy magnificence to heights rarely seen in cinema.

Universal’s Soundstage 28 was an integral part of the VIP tour at Universal Studios Hollywood for decades. Though the orchestra seats and the stage of the film’s Palais Garnier had long gone, the backside box seats of the auditorium remained. Stage 28 featured in numerous films after The Phantom of the Opera, including Dracula (1931), the Lon Chaney biopic Man of a Thousand Faces (1957), Psycho (1960), Charade (1963), Jurassic Park (1993), How the Grinch Stole Christmas (2000), and The Muppets (2011). The soundstage was also supposedly haunted, with individuals claiming to see a caped figure (Lon Chaney as the Phantom?) running around the catwalks, lights flickering on and off, and doors opening and closing on their own. In 2014, after standing for almost ninety years, Universal decided to demolish Stage 28 so as to expand its theme park. However, the historic set escaped the wrecking ball, as Universal decided to disassemble the set, place it into storage, and perhaps someday reassemble it. It is a fate far kinder than almost all other production design relics from the silent era.

Unlike what was coming out of Weimar Germany in the 1920s in the form of German Expressionism, American horror films had no template to follow when The Phantom of the Opera arrived in theaters. There would be no codification of American horror cinema’s tropes and sense of timing until the next decade. But without 1925’s The Phantom of the Opera, Universal would never become the house of horror it did in the 1930s through the early ‘50s (including the Dracula, Frankenstein, Mummy, Invisible Man, Wolf Man, and Creature from the Black Lagoon series). So, unbound by any unwritten guidelines, 1925’s The Phantom of the Opera – a horror film, but arguably also a melodrama with elements of horror – consumes the viewer with its chilling atmosphere and, from Lon Chaney, one of the best cinematic performances ever, without any qualification. For silent film novices, this is one of the best films to begin with (outside the comedies of Charlie Chaplin, Buster Keaton, and Harold Lloyd). Regardless of one’s familiarity with silent film, The Phantom of the Opera is a cinematic milestone.

002. BIOGRAPHY …

dad died in front of her when she was young -- a heart attack. her mom remarried to a high profile lawyer that was set to take over his dad's law firm

they always had high expectations for her and why shouldn't they? she was always due to become either a surgeon (like her late father) or a lawyer (like her step-father). eventually, it became obvious where her skills lay, so she was steered in the direction of law.

in college, she falls in love. against everything her parents warned about. she has not one, but two children before she graduates from harvard with a law degree. but she did it all while raising two children. isn't that enough?

her husband and her get married after she's graduated and from the outside they're perfect. both high profile, hard working people with two darling children. everyone should be jealous.

she doesn't want anyone to think she got where she was because of her step-dad's connections, so she works with his firm's biggest competitor.

soon enough, she's a fucking star. other lawyers, even those with decades more experience are scared of her. why shouldn't they be? she cuts through them in court like a knife through butter. she's unstoppable.

until it's obvious that everyone in the firm is against her becoming name partner.

harper does what she does best. she creates a case. she finds every speck of dirt on the current name partners and marches into the monthly partners meeting and demands her name go up there. easy as pie.

yes. kang for harper kang. she made it.

her and another name partner, the one she's closest to, perform a coup and over throw the other one, making them obsolete. it's just the two of them now, and they're doing what they could only dream of.

while all of this happens, her marriage falls apart. she suspects her husband of cheating, if not physically, then emotionally at the very least, but can't bring herself to do anything when she's surely been feeling something for the other name partner.

she and her husband separate, though they live under the same roof for the sake of their children and the cameras.

the divorce is messy and awful and ends in arguments more often than not. it takes two years for it to be finalized, start to finish. what's the point of celebrating in a burning house? whatever. she opens a new bottle of scotch anyway.

003. CONNECTIONS …

[on the wc page] her two children ! they have a strained relationship but she's trying to reach out and reconnect.

[on the wc page] the other name partner of kang & x. they had a fling during her and her husband's separation and are incredibly close. they might be trying to overthrow her / remove her from the firm, but she's unaware.

Which Path Is Right for You: IELTS or PTE?

While both IELTS and PTE serve the same goal—proving English proficiency—they differ significantly in format, delivery, and scoring. Not sure which is right for you? Let’s simplify the decision.

IELTS is a paper-based or computer-based exam, often preferred by students heading to the UK, Australia, or Canada for academic purposes. It tests your ability to communicate in real-life academic and social contexts. If you’re more comfortable with human interaction and essay-style writing, IELTS might be your best bet.

On the other hand, PTE is entirely computer-based with AI scoring. It’s faster, often more objective, and preferred for Australian and New Zealand visa applications. If you’re tech-savvy and prefer structured, template-based answering, PTE could work wonders for you.

At Prepworld Academy, we help you make this decision through personalized counseling. We assess your goals, test-taking style, and time availability before recommending the right course. And regardless of the path you choose, our commitment to excellence remains the same.

Standing at the academic crossroads between GCSE and IGCSE qualifications? You’re not alone! These seemingly similar exam systems can leave even the most dedicated students and parents scratching their heads. Let’s dive deep into what sets these qualifications apart and help you navigate this crucial educational decision with confidence.

Curriculum Face-Off: Breadth vs Depth

While both qualifications offer comprehensive syllabuses, they follow distinctly different educational philosophies:

GCSE: The Jack of All Trades

Covers a wider range of topics within each subject

Regularly updated to reflect changing educational standards

Core subjects include mathematics, sciences, English language and literature, history, and geography

Perfect for students who thrive on variety and building broader knowledge foundations

IGCSE: The Master of Precision

Dives deeper into fewer topics, encouraging specialized knowledge

Demands higher analytical and technical skills

Offers exciting additional subjects not found in traditional GCSEs, including expanded science options (individual biology, chemistry, and physics)

Features optional modules in cutting-edge fields like IT and engineering

Ideal for students who prefer depth over breadth and enjoy intellectual challenges

Assessment Showdown: How You’ll Be Tested

Your exam experience will vary significantly depending on which qualification path you choose:

GCSE Assessment Experience:

Primarily multiple-choice and written examinations

Digital and paper options available

Increasingly moving toward end-of-course linear assessment models

IGCSE Assessment Adventure:

More diverse assessment types, including hands-on practical examinations

Greater flexibility in assessment structures

Options for both linear (all exams at the end) and unitized approaches

Coursework and portfolio assessments form a significant portion of final grades

Allows students to showcase their strengths beyond traditional testing formats

The Exam Board Landscape

Behind every qualification stands an examination board with its own approach and standards:

GCSE Exam Boards:

Three primary players in England, Wales, and Northern Ireland: AQA, Edexcel (Pearson), and OCR

Four additional boards serve Scotland

Each offers numerous subject-specific syllabuses (AQA alone offers 20+ different GCSEs!)

IGCSE Exam Boards:

Four major international boards

Edexcel offers both UK-based and international qualifications

Each board sets unique fee structures and grade boundaries

Pro tip: Always verify specific details with your qualification provider before enrolling!

Time Investment: The Learning Marathon

One crucial difference lies in how these qualifications pace your educational journey:

GCSE Timeline:

Typically completed within a concentrated two-year framework

Faster-paced learning across more subjects

Structured approach that works well for students who thrive with clear deadlines

Perfect for those who prefer to complete qualifications in a more condensed timeframe

IGCSE Timeline:

Extended study periods allow for richer exploration of topics

More breathing room for comprehending complex concepts

Designed for those seeking a thorough, unhurried educational experience

Ideal for students who benefit from additional processing time for challenging material

Global Recognition: How Far Will Your Qualification Travel?

Your future mobility matters when choosing between these qualifications:

GCSE Passport:

Primarily recognized within the UK educational ecosystem

Replaced traditional O-Levels and CSEs in the British system

Limited international recognition, though still respected within Commonwealth countries

Well-established reputation with UK universities and employers

IGCSE Global Reach:

Designed with international standardization in mind

Widely recognized by employers, universities, and colleges worldwide

Available in numerous countries and languages (over 70 countries at last count!)

Allows for work submission in languages beyond English

Perfect for students with international education or career aspirations

Particularly valuable for families who relocate frequently or plan international university applications

The Real-World Impact: Student Experience Matters

Beyond the formal differences, consider how each qualification shapes the learning experience:

The GCSE Classroom:

More standardized teaching approaches

Greater focus on memorization and recall skills

Well-established resources and practice materials readily available

Strong emphasis on national curriculum alignment

The IGCSE Learning Environment:

More room for teaching innovation and creative approaches

Greater emphasis on critical thinking and application of knowledge

Encourages independent research and deeper subject engagement

Often features more interactive, project-based learning opportunities

Cultivates skills highly valued in university environments

The Bottom Line: Quality Comparison

Rest assured, both qualifications maintain rigorous standards:

No significant difference in the quality of grades obtained

Both provide assessments based on comparable academic standards

Success in either qualification demonstrates excellent subject mastery

The key distinction lies in international recognition and assessment style, not academic value

Finding Your Perfect Fit

The ideal qualification depends on your unique educational needs:

Choose GCSE if you:

Plan to continue your education exclusively in the UK

Prefer breadth of knowledge across many topics

Thrive in traditional examination formats

Value a structured, nationally-recognized qualification

Choose IGCSE if you:

Desire international educational flexibility

Enjoy deep-diving into subjects

Prefer demonstrating knowledge through diverse assessment methods

Want more teaching innovation and engagement in your learning experience

What Is Intuition?

● Intuition is the ability to immediately understand something without conscious reasoning. It can be something you know from instinctive reasoning or information the brain has collected and processed in situations to make decisions. This is sometimes referred to as our sixth sense, gut feeling or hunch. You've simply stored cues and info, macro and micro, that your brain unconsciously trusts to come to a decision quickly. It can be learned or practiced to hone in on this sense. Just as we work out to build our bodies, we can work out our senses.

However, I wouldn't recommend using intuition in matters that have grave or dangerous consequences. Definitely not in cases of life or death! Use your powers responsibly and for the greater good. Remember, intention is every thing.

Is There Evidence/Proof of Intuition?

There are sites like the "Association for Psychological Science" that have more information on this topic if you're interested! I'll keep it brief here, though if you really want to dive into it, i recommend reading the Psychological Science Journal;

Lie Detection

People are more accurate at detecting lies when they trust their intuition. Rather than thinking it through, go with your "gut"!

Complex Desicions

You may be able to rely on your intuition when you need a guide in multiple-factor/ complex decisions. Put a little more trust in yourself.

Psychological Data

In some cases, picking up on things like skin conductance can predict behavioral intuition.

There is definitely more! Diving deeper into recommend looking into some of the Psychologist study this "sense";

Lufityanto, G., Donkin, C., & Pearson, J. (2016). Measuring Intuition: Nonconscious Emotional Information Boosts Decision Accuracy and Confidence. Psychological Science. doi: 10.1177/0956797616629403

What situations do you believe have attributed to people being able to gather and store this information more so than others?

How Do We Practice Intuition ?

The practice of intuition can be done in a few ways;

simply spending time in nature and observing it.

Being mindful of your surrounding and what they are making you feel or think. What's the first thing that pops in your mind when things are happening?

You could meditate on thought or situations. Try some right-brain meditate to help activate this sense.

Journaling and other self-reflectant tools like doodle, divination, and automatic writing are just a few.

Check in with yourself often. Where on my body do I receive sensation in according so the things that are going on around me. Where or what do I feel when I meditate on a thought. Does this sensation bring a positive or negative feeling to the mind or body.

What are some implications of solely using intuitions?

* As much as I'm an advocate for using your intuition and trusting yourself, it's definitely important not to get lost in the idea of this "power." Please be responsible when making decisions. Major life and financial decisions should not be solely based on your gut feeling*

Our conscious and unconscious baises affect all decision-making. It is important to away know and consider facts and consequences in the making of decisions.

We definitely don't know everything consciously. Otherwise, we could all be surgeons or astrospace engineers from birth. Your mind still has gaps it needs to fill sometimes in the forming of big decisions. I mean, unless you're truly a professionally elite master in the knowledge of one thing, pure Intuitive following is not the best route to follow.

If we become fixated that our first idea when falling our intuition is right, it makes it hard for us to evaluate and elevate to solution. Use your discretion and always collect data first

These are only a few of some of the issues that can arise from purely rooting your decisions in intuition. Trust yourself, but remember to apply your physical knowledge! Bring both physical and internally based, knowing together can bring beautiful things forth. We have to trust in the factual knowledge of others as well.

(When I state personal beliefs, as I'm about to below, they aren't necessarily cemented. I'm open to all ideas. This is simply just where my personal development and growth are right now. Feel free to change my mind 😌)

*I believe that this skill of picking up micro and macro cues and information of our surroundings in a situation can come from us being put in similar situations over and over again. Sort of like your mind picking up a deja vu. I also think it can come from stress inducing situations in accordance to protecting our brains from the effects of trauma.*

May this help guide you to discovery and discussion you might not have made before. May it expand your mind and lead your thoughts to new ideas, so it is.✨️

A gift from you to you,

Jera-Algiz

The Phantom of the Opera

How many monsters are there supposed to be in Rupert Julian et al’s THE PHANTOM OF THE OPERA (1925, TCM, Tubi, Plex, YouTube)? In its time, it was viewed as another in a series of films casting Lon Chaney as sympathetic horrors. His famous makeup for the film and the number of victims he claims (though the chandelier sequence goes light on the battered bodies) would point to him as the monster. But from a contemporary viewpoint Christine (Mary Philbin), for all her physical beauty, is pretty horrible in her own right. She has no problem accepting Chaney’s help with her career, rejects a wealthy suitor (Norman Kerry) who wants her to retire and goes off with the Phantom after he’s dropped a chandelier on the audience to protest her not performing in FAUST that night. But after the unmasking, she not only wants nothing to do with him but goes back on her word to stop seeing the blandly handsome Kerry. She may not kill people, but she’s something of a soul killer. When Chaney orders her to ��Feast your eyes! Glut your soul on my accursed ugliness!” he might as well be holding up a mirror.

Universal’s adaptation of the Gaston Leroux novel is something of a mixed bag. Whenever Chaney’s off-screen it drags, and some of the performances bear out the stereotypes about silent film acting. Much of Chaney’s pantomime, however, is exquisite, and the underground scenes as he takes Philbin to his hidden quarters beneath the Paris Opera have an eerie poetry. Part of the problem is Julian, whose main claim to fame was stepping in to replace Erich Von Stroheim after the master director was fired from MERRY-GO-ROUND (1923). Until the final chase scenes, his cutting is almost lethargic, and most of his compositions seem static. One minor triumph, whether it's his work or just casting, is the contrast between the Paris Opera’s star (Virginia Pearson), who’s fleshy and grandiose as Marguerite, and Philbin, who plays the role with a disarming simplicity. Philbin is rather good overall, as is Arthur Edmund Carewe as a mystery man skulking around the opera house and Gibson Gowland (later the star of GREED) as a stagehand whose brother the Phantom murders. And whatever else you may think of the film, the production values, particularly the marvelous opera house set and the masked ball shot in two-strip Technicolor, are pretty darned impressive.

Why Continuous Practice is Key in PTE Coaching Classes?

Achieving a high score on the Pearson Test of English (PTE) is not just about understanding the test format or mastering the language; it’s about consistent and continuous practice. Here’s why continuous practice is a fundamental aspect emphasized in PTE coaching classes.

Familiarization with Test Format

The PTE exam has a unique format that can be unfamiliar and intimidating to new test-takers. Continuous practice helps students become accustomed to this format. By regularly engaging with the types of questions and tasks they will face, students can develop a sense of familiarity and confidence. This reduces test-day anxiety and enhances performance.

Skill Improvement

Each section of the PTE exam—speaking, writing, reading, and listening—requires distinct skills. Continuous PTE practice allows students to hone these skills over time. For example, repeated practice in the listening section improves note-taking and comprehension abilities, while regular speaking exercises enhance fluency and pronunciation. This gradual improvement is crucial for building the proficiency needed to score well.

Identifying Weaknesses

Regular practice sessions help students and instructors identify specific areas of weakness. Whether it’s difficulty in understanding spoken English or structuring essays, continuous practice reveals these problem areas. Once identified, targeted strategies can be implemented to address and overcome these weaknesses, leading to overall better performance.

Building Endurance

The PTE exam is a lengthy and demanding test. Continuous practice helps in building the mental and physical endurance required to maintain focus and performance throughout the entire exam duration. This stamina is crucial for ensuring that students can perform consistently well from the beginning to the end of the test.

Incorporating Feedback

In a PTE coaching centre, continuous practice is complemented by regular feedback from instructors. This feedback is vital for improvement, as it provides insights into mistakes and areas for enhancement. By continuously practicing and incorporating feedback, students can make steady progress and avoid repeating errors.

Enhancing Time Management

Effective time management is a critical skill for the PTE exam. Through continuous practice, students learn how to allocate their time efficiently across different sections and tasks. This skill is developed by repeatedly working within the test’s time constraints, allowing students to complete tasks accurately and swiftly.

In conclusion, continuous practice is the cornerstone of success in PTE coaching classes. It helps students become familiar with the test format, improve specific skills, identify and address weaknesses, build endurance, incorporate feedback, and enhance time management. These benefits collectively ensure that students are well-prepared and confident on test day.
