IELTS or PTE, ano difference or pagkakaiba nila?

mrs_hopefulmrs_hopeful PhilippinesPosts: 24Member

Hello po, ask ko lang ano pagkakaiba ng IELTS at PTE in terms of difficulty, grading, fees, etc..? Marami ako nabasa sa mga timeline puro PTE.. Ako kasi IELTS before, then magretake ako dahil expired na yung last take ko. I’m thinking if PTE or IELTS pa rin gawin ko this time around.

    I have taken PTE instead of IELTS because mas madali ipoint iyong areas where you need to really master techniques to get the desired score you need. Mas mahirap para sa akin ang PTE but iyong point system kasi mas ok for me which is iyon tlga ang habol ko. You need to check the PTE website and read if the format suits you. All the best! Took me 4 test to get superior because i need the 20 points!

    I have taken both and I noticed the following differences:

    1. PTE computer ang maggrade for speaking and writing, IELTS is person.
    2. Pure Computer tlga ung test ng PTE so sensitive ung algorithm nila sa mga stutter at accent, IELTS may actual person ka na kakausapin
    3. Since computer ang maggrade ng PTE mo, mahirap siyang iparegrade, IELTS they can have it reviewed and regraded if hindi ka happy sa score mo.
    4. If hindi ka comfortable sa mga maiingay na environment like nagsasalita ng sabay sabay since they are taking the exam at the same time as you, then PTE is not for you.
    5. In terms of difficulty, mas maraming need aralin sa PTE dahil marami syang parts na iba iba activities.
    6. IELTS if you like simpler feel and kung ayaw mo masyado ng techy na galawan.

    Another Difference pala that I can add is, IELTS are recognized rin sa ibang bansa like Canada incase hindi magmaterialize ang AU application mo :)

    I taught both courses, and I can say that IELTS requires actual English skills. PTE pwede maka superior basta alam mo techniques and templates - may mga tinuruan ako na 65 lang need pero nakaka 79 pa. If decided kayo makuha superior pts, go for PTE kasi mahirap makuha ang band 8 sa IELTS lalo na sa writing at speaking, whereas lahat ng students ko dito sa Perth usually 90 ang speaking sa PTE kahit mga 6.5 lang sa IELTS

    I took both tests: IELTS last Apr 2018, PTE last Dec 2018.

    ANg maganda sa PTE, computerized siya, even for speaking part. Medyo may pagka-introvert tayo kaya mas preferred ko ang PTE. And besides, pwede ka magprepare ng ready-made templates sa mga isasagot mo sa exam.
    Mas mabilis ako mag-type kaysa magsulat, kaya advantage sa kin and PTE.
    Mas mahirap nga lang mag-review sa PTE kasi mas madaming exam types. Each exam type requires a different technique kaya maganda napaghandaan mo na.
    Tama po si MLBS. Techniques and templates ang kakampi mo sa PTE. Tried and proven ko po yan.

    Also, mas mabilis results sa PTE kesa sa IELTS. Two weeks ang sa IELTS. That means, 2 weeks ka ding kakabahan and matutuliro. Sa PTE, nagexam ako ng hapon. Kinabukasan pag-gising ko, may resulta na.

    I see that there is no way for me to get an 8.0 or 9.0 sa speaking and writing sa IELTS. Pero sa PTE, naka 79+ ako sa lahat. Almost perfect pa nga.
