    Nag-exam ako kahapon sa Bright Center.
    Na-email na kanina around 1pm yung result.

    I needed 65 in para maka-claim ng 10 points. Thank God at nakuha ko score na kailangan ko.

    Listening - 68
    Reading - 68
    Writing - 68
    Speaking - 72

    Kabado ako kasi yung reading ko di ko natapos, meron pa yatang 2 or 3 pages na hindi tapos kasi naubusan ako ng oras.
    Yung Speaking ko naman medyo tagilid din kasi meron mga graph/picture na di ko na-interpret/explain maigi.

    Ako lang yung nag-exam kahapon. Kala ko nga hindi tuloy yung exam kasi 12pm yung schedule ko, 11am ako dumating pero sarado yung office nila. Dumating yung test-admin ng almost 12pm na. Mabait yung test-admin at hindi strict na katulad sa mga IELTS exam center. Nakikipagkwentuhan pa nga sya before & after my exam.

    I thank this forum kasi dito lang di ako kumuha ng mga resources, study guide at mga tips.
    Overalll I can say na mas madali itong PTE Academics compare sa IELTS.

    @eischied_21 I recommend to test first the marker if it works properly well. Kasi yung marker during my first exam nag blo-blot siya sa una tapos minsan hindi agad susulat sa una.. Although yung 2nd exam ko, okay na yung marker. :)

Anyways, congrats! You already gained a 7.0 grade equivalent in IELTS. For the record, did you take any IELTS test? what was the result?
