I wouldn’t say na mas madali yung PTE-A, pero mas mataas ang chance to get a Band 8 (Superior) on all language skills. Naexperience ko both IELTS and PTE-A, I’d say na mas tricky ang IELTS for me.
For other’s reference - main difference is - IELTS is evaluated and scored by a human rater, and PTE naman is by a computer program.
Let me give you one perspective for now. On Speaking…
Go for IELTS if tingin mong..
• Mas comfortable ka makipagusap sa tao
• Kasi if okay ung speaking skills mo, even you stutter sometimes, mas forgiving ang tao on this situation. And computer does not.
• Especially if you are a conversationalist - na madali sayo pagusapan yung buhay mo, general knowledge, or anything under the sun
On the otherhand, gofor PTE-A if tingin mong..
• You have a clear diction/ speak clearly (not necessarily with accent)
• You know what words to stress when reading or delivering a lecture
• Kung tingin mo, na kapag nagkkwento ka - minsan napagbabaliktad mo ung order of events or you’re trouble delivering your thoughts with coherence, then better ung PTE-A sayo. Unlike humans, I think mas forgiving naman ang computer kapag napagbali-baligtad mo ung sentences mo. Sentences ha, not particularly the words.
Hope this helps 🙂
