Mas generous daw magbigay ng score sa RELC base sa mga nagtest sa parehong center. Mas mataas nkuha nila sa RELC.
Ako kc sa cuppage dahil wla n slot sa RELC nung magtatake n kmi ng Exam.

In terms of facility, mas ok sa Cuppage dahil mas bago yung building and may waiting room sila for registration. Pero mas maliit yung testing room nila kaya mejo mas maingay sa speaking part nung exam. Mas accessible lang siya dahil nasa bandang Orchard Road.
Sa RELC naman, mas luma yung building and ang waiting area for registration is sa corridor lang. Pero mas malaki yung testing room nila kaya mejo mas mahina yung ingay sa speaking part. Mejo mas malayo nga lang siya compared to Cuppage.
Pero kung paipiliin ako, mas ok sa RELC kasi mas malaki yung exam room at mas makakapagfocus ka sa speaking part dahil less noise.

MY ROAD TO AUSTRALIAN PR
Nominated Occupation: Architectural Draftsperson - ANZSCO 312111 (Offshore)
2020
Jan 20: Since I’m DIYing it, I started researching and learning the whole process.
Feb 22: VETASSESS – I started gathering all required documents.
Apr 25: VETASSESS – I finished gathering all my documents. I created my account and started filling up the Skills Assessment for General Occupation Application.
Apr 29: VETASSESS – I double-checked my documents. I started uploading the required documents. I decided not to include my first work in the Philippines because I don’t have payment evidence of it. I didn’t include my 1st work in Singapore as well because I don’t have a Certificate of Employment from that job.
Apr 30: VETASSESS – I double-checked my documents for the last time.
May 01: VETASSESS – I successfully submitted my online assessment for Architectural Draftsperson. Total amount paid is AUD$ 880 (SGD$ 842.66) Crossing my fingers that the outcome will be positive.
May 05: VETASSESS – My application status was lodged.
Jul 12: VETASSESS – After 11 weeks, the results came out and it was Positive. Number of years assessed positively was 9.63 which is equivalent to 15 points in EOI.
Jul 25: IELTS – I finally booked my IELTS Computer-delivered Test for SGD$ 365. My test date was Aug 16, 2020.
Aug 16: IELTS – It was my test day. Speaking, Listening, Reading, and Writing were all taken on this day.
Aug 21: IELTS – My test results came out. L: 9.0 R: 7.5 W: 7.0 S: 7.5 which is Proficient English. It is equivalent to 10 points in EOI.
Aug 22: EOI – I finally submitted my Expression of Interest (EOI) in SkillSelect for NSW Visa 190.
My points breakdown:
Age: 25
English Language Ability: 10
Education: 15
State Nomination: 5
Years of Experience: 15
Total: 70 points
*Invitation rounds for NSW nomination under the Skilled Nominated visa (subclass 190) are currently closed. I’m expecting that this may take a while because of the pandemic and the current situation in Australia. I just have to wait for the federal government’s advice on when it will open again.
2022
Jul 5: IELTS – Since my IELTS exam result was expiring on Aug 16, 2022, I booked my 2nd IELTS Computer-delivered Test for SGD$ 378. My test date was on Jul 17, 2022. I didn’t know at that time that Australia is accepting its validity for 3 years. But I was able to use it as well for my Canada PR application.
Jul 17: IELTS – It was my test day. Speaking, Listening, Reading, and Writing were all taken on this day.
Jul 20: IELTS – My test results came out. L: 8.0 R: 9.0 W: 7.0 S: 7.5 which is Proficient English. It is equivalent to 10 points in EOI.

*Invitation rounds for NSW nominations under the Skilled Nominated visa (subclass 190) were still closed. It’s expected to open in November 2022. I hope I get invited before my birthday because I will lose points during an age milestone on December.
Sep 09: EOI – After a long wait, NSW’s Skilled Visa Nomination Program finally opened. However, my skill points for my nominated occupation didn’t meet the minimum points required which is 90. I only had 70 points. I updated my EOI and changed my preferred state to Victoria, which only requires a minimum of 65 points. I then created an account in the Live In Melbourne portal and submitted my Registration of Interest (ROI).
Dec XX: EOI – My points went down to 60 points due to an age milestone and I am now not qualified for at EOI in the Australian Skillselect. My only hope is to get higher points in my English exam to get back in the pool. I withdrew my EOI and ROI in Victoria.
Dec19: – I booked my PTE English Test for USD$ 260 (SGD$ 367.11). My exam date was on Dec 30, 2022.

I somehow agree na mas generous sa points si RELC.. I tried to take the exam sa Cuppage and sa RELC.
When I took the exam sa cuppage, I'm somehow confident on what I did.. pero the results were not in my favor. Whereas kay RELC, I thought I will fail some areas, but surprisingly I got perfect scores sa exam... Just a hunch, but maybe mas madali rin yung questions kay RELC, maybe different type of PTE exam versions not sure? but better talaga mag prepare ng 1-2months before taking the exam... it's really more on sanayan talaga and sometimes nasa questions/environment rin on the day of your exam. Kahit super kabisado mo pano sumagot and you feel confident na, iba pa rin kapag bigla kang nadistract and naconfuse on the day.. Goodluck po!!

Hello po! Kapag ba sa SG nag-lodge ng visa at may grant na, required ba na sa SG rin mag-exit pag flight na to AU? Or pwedeng umuwi muna ng Pinas after ma-cancel ang pass then sa Pinas na ang exit?

Kahit san po kayu pwwde mag exit. We choose coming from Sg kasi para di na doble ung tickets na bibilhin namin. Then dun gagastos pa syempre. Tapos u need to attend PDOS ata. So dito na kami galing Sg para straightforward lang.

Hello,
Question lang po. kapag na submit na ng Point Medical (Paragon) yung results, automatic mawawala na yung Health Examination dun sa Actions required like sa Biometrics? I visited the clinic last Saturday and as of this writing wala pa din update sa ImmiAccount ko. Thank you po.
