About write from dictation, are we given enough time to type? Say, the recording will play, 'll start typing, and when done, I'll click next. Or the recording will play continuously? I'm asking because I type really slow. Writing on the notepad is not an option either because I can't understand my own penmanship, when the pressure is really high :-(
You have 70 points. See you in Australia soon!

Don't worry. You'll hear the good news soon. For now, spend as much time as you can with your parents, pets, relatives and friends who can't come with you. Take lots of photos with them. While you can call them anytime, you will still find yourself missing them badly. Off topic. :-)
Thank you for the tips!

Hi all,
Pasensya po if medyo mababaw question ko. Sa pagbook ng PTE-A exam online, dapat ko ba tick eto?
"Important for those applying for a relevant work* or study visa to Australia: By ticking this box you consent to Pearson making your score report available to the Australian Department for Immigration and Border Protection (DIBP) electronically for the purposes of administering the visa application process, including decisions on your visa. *From November 2014" Thanks

Self-study din ako. After reviewing techniques for each question type sa PTE, I recommend purchasing and taking the official PTE mock test (scored) para you'll already get a feel for how the actual test goes.
