    Hello sis, ask ko lang regarding sa recording kapag hnd pa tapos yung time na 40 seconds tapos ka na magrecord, dapat ba click yung stop then click next or click next na agad, or let the 40sec finish then click next?( pero diba kung 3 secs d ka nagsasalita, mawala yung record?)

    please help kung sino may experience. Thanks!

    @aje15 as much as possible we maximize the 40 seconds. based on my experience kinukulang ako sa ibang graph. if in case na tapos kana. you can click next agad, no issue.

    Anyone took PTE in Melbourne? Ano maganda na test centre?

    I've had bad experiences kasi dito sa Perth. Almost lahat samin mag classmates bagsak sa speaking so we thought may problem sa microphone. First test ko 1 month bago na release ang result. 2nd test 1 month ng email na wala daw lumabas na result sakin and pinag retake ako so i chose to have a refund instead.

    Registered Nurse Nec

    06/15 - touchdown Oz
    07/15 - start of classes (Bachelor in Nursing)
    05/16 - passed OET (after 4 failed attempts with IELTS and PTE)
    07/16 - finished uni
    07/16 - received AHPRA Australian Registered Nurse rego
    08/16 - student visa 500 (Diploma)
    10/16 - started working as an RN

    @filipinacpa kamusta ka na? How is Perth on your first landing? Salamat sa 'yo I made the PTE last April and got the credit. Hope you could give some inputs (PM me here) on how is life on Perth. I'm about to resign na sa work and booking my flight to Perth this October while my family follows on December. God bless and all the best!
