Guys may nakareceive na ba sa inyo ng notification of rescheduling from PTE? Nakaschedule ako sa August 15 to take the exam pero na-move to November. Gusto ko sanang malaman kung may nakagawa na ba dito na makipagnegotiate sa PTE na ma-adjust dahil para sa akin sobrang tagal ng itinalon e.

Hello! Same po tayo supposedly Aug 15 ang exam. Cancelled din. Yung Nov date indicated sa email nila is temporary location lang ng booking mo. When you reschedule sa mypte account mo, choose the test center location again sa Trident (Manila). Lalabas yung available dates na earlier.
Just rescheduled mine a while ago.

Thanks for the response @r_oras.
Nabasa ko nga rin na di recommended to have it re-scored. Try ko na lang ulit, sana makakuha na ng superior score.
Thank you ulit. 😊

Konting praktis nalang po and then you'll get there. Just remember po na very helpful ung mga parts na may templates (e.g. summarize written text and write essay) na imemorise kasi it will buy you more time sa mga other parts na walang template (e.g. fill in the blanks).

Hello po. Based sa experience ko po, mas mababa ung nakuha ko sa mock tests kesa dun sa real test which was great po in my case kasi mas napa-practice pa ako lalo. Hindi ako naka kuha ng superior sa mga mock tests pero nakuha ko sya nung real test na.
