ah ok. can you please share the link? thanks a lot @greatsoul </blockquote>

Yes please do share also, and how much yung PTE exam? mas madali ba yun compared to IELTS? Currently studying IELTS kasi. Ano kaya yung pros and cons ng dalawa? (IELTS and PTE Exam)

vylette

@tomangelo I have taken both IELTS and PTE. I prefer PTE.

Ito lang masabi ko about them:

PTE

mas madali maatain yung target score mo kung kagaya ko na need ng 79+. Hindi ko man nakuha ung target score ko sa first take, pero isang band lang naman which is speaking 🙂)
mas mabilis results/ mas madali makapagschedule agad
mas nasa comfort zone para sakin kasi computer based yung exam di masakit sa kamay sa writing at hindi ko na kailangan bilangin pa kung nakakailang words na ba ako 🙂)
the whole process just takes 3 hours.

CONS :

pag first time magtake nakakailang at nakakadistract yung maririnig mo yung mga kasabay mo na nageexam during speaking part. Yung setup kasi ay parang sa office lang na may mga cubicle lang bawat isa at magkakatabi.
madaming iba ibang types yung exam na sa una overwhelming kasi madami dami ka dapat ipractice. Sa IELTS kasi pag reading, reading lang talaga magbabasa lang. Dito kasi sa PTE combination palagi.Listening na may speaking, reading na may speaking, etc.

IELTS

yung speaking nila is done in a private room na wala makakarinig sayo unlike sa PTE
IMHO mas madali reading. generous yung time for the activity. Medyo tingin ko kasi maikli yung time na binibigay sa PTE although natapos ko naman reading ko dun.
no combined tests. Gaya ng nasabi ko sa taas kapag reading, basa lang then write the answer. Listening, listen then write the answer.

CONS

matagal results. 13days.
manual yung pagsagot. Sa totoo lang sumakit kamay ko sa writing. Bibilangin ko pa yung words na nagamit ko kung umabot ba 🙂)
tagal ng process ng registration. It takes almost 2 hours ata?
hiwalay pa venue ng speaking and exam and minsan separate days pa. Medyo hassle for me lalo na pag natapat sa work day.

These are just from what i experienced.andami ko pala nalagay na cons sa IELTS 🙂) .

Price for both are the same around 9k+ pero may promo code sila na binigay dito for PTE that gives 10% discount yung PTE2015 na code 🙂 sorry napahaba!

Thank you! will have a look

Al5yd

@vylette Thank you for the nice summary. Siguro ang maganda sa PTE ay computer based sya, mas nini-nyerbyos ako pag tao ang magtatanong 🙂

bailey

Thank you @vylette for sharing the pros and cons 🙂 Ask ko lang sana sainyo ilang months kayo ngreview for PTE? Gusto kasi sana namin mgschedule na kaso di pa namin maestimate gano katagal mgreview?

chewychewbacca

@vylette Agree ako sa pros and cons mo!! Hahahaha Sumakit rin kamay ko sa IELTS writing. Ang hirap pa magkamali kasi kailagan erase.

bailey

Hi @chewychewbacca newbie here hehe

thank you for all your posts, very informative and useful 🙂 Ask ko lang sana ilang months kayo ng-review for PTE? Thank you!

tomangelo

@vylette salamat sa comprehensive answer!

kahit mejo na off topic na tayo dito hehe. try ko nalang siguro muna yung ielts, sayang yung bayad ko sa niner eh. hehe

gusto ko lang kasi tlaga ma achieve yung 20 points eh, pero sabi nung ceo sa niner ang hirap mag 8.0 sa writing. mga 10% lang ata nakaka 8 per exam. Not being pessimistic, pero kaya mejo aral ako ng mabuti ngayon.

Hi guys,

Anyone here na nag pa assess na sa ACS coming from FEU-East Asia College?

Hunter_08

@hans_solo ako bro same school tayo. seection 3 tayo so diploma lng comparable sa AU

chewychewbacca

@bailey Hello! 🙂 Thank you!! I'm happy to help.

Nag IELTS muna ako before PTE-A. Akala ko kasi dati IELTS lang accredited yun pala pati PTE-A puwede. Anyway, nag review class ako sa IELTS, nag exam sa IELTS, tapos tsaka ako nag PTE. Kung PTE review, mga 2 weeks ako nagbabad kakareview and watch ng videos online. Nakatulong rin talaga yung IELTS review class and exam ko. I wouldn't suggest taking IELTS before PTE though. Kasi mas mahirap talaga IELTS.

chewychewbacca

@Hunter_08 Hello, tanong ko lang. Ano results nung ACS Assessment mo? Ilang years binawas?

Hi Guys,

Need lang po advise and pointers.

Pagkakasyahin ko na sa isang post lahat ng info.

I am a graduate of B.S. Industrial Engineering from a known college institute.

I started working as an IT Business Analyst in an ERP company and left with total experience of 12 months.

I then transferred to and worked as a Systems Analyst/ Programmer in an EDI company with total experience of 52 months (Nov2010-Feb2015).

I am currently working as an Application Support Analyst for an IS department of the Client in a BPO company with total working experience of 12months.

Having said all those info, i hope it could help you give me an advise regarding applying for:

261111 - ICT Business Analysts

261112 - Systems Analysts

(Still thinking which suits my experience yet)...

I've read the Assessment Guidelines and in my own interpretation, B.S.I.E. is way too off aa an ICT related course.

I don't want to be dealing with migration agents because of expensive services. Di naman po ako ganun ka-able to pay for their services yet. Lahat naman po ng nakausap ko at kilala ko from my previous work and education, sariling sikap lang din po sila.

I badly wanted to move to Australia with my family of course, after ko marealize na i really have to. Being there in Melb for 6 weeks business assignment (current company-client), i've enjoyed my stay and have that gut feeling, eto na talaga gusto ko.

Can you please share me some inputs, information, advise, help or whatever you may call it. I'd be very thankful to all of you.

From,

Confused Aspirant

@Xiaomau82

Thanks Master.

Also boss,

May mga notary po ba na specialized for overseas requirement?

Or any notary public will do?

I presume the notary type will be a certified true copy po?

Salamat po ulit.

@sizzlingralph

Boss read this link. Check mo kung anu pinaka malapit.

https://www.acs.org.au/__data/assets/pdf_file/0018/7641/ANZSCO-Descriptions-2015.pdf

ICT Major - Minus 2 years

ICT Minor - Minus 4 years

Non ICT - Minus 5 to 6 years.

So kung non-ICT ang course mo, in your case, IE, baka mag deduct po ng 5 years sa experience mo.

kung let say ang position mo is ICT related and experience mo is 6 years.

babawasan po ng 5 years. Then 1 year nalang ang ma ccredit para sa experience points.

Baguhan lang din po ako. pero eto po pagkaka intindi ko.

Eto po yung sa grading. Page 3
