5> to <8 years - 10 points
8+ years - 15 points
5 points ka na basta between 3-5 years nakuha mo. Bilangin mo yung months dun sa assessment letter to date, kung employed ka pa, leave mo blank yung end date sa EOI, makukuha mo yung 5 points sa work exp.
Ang alam ko pag State Sponsorship, merong "show money" atleast 30,000 AUD pero depende ata sa state kung nag rerequire sila ng evidence.

ngayon ko lang nabasa ang tungkol sa PTE. Need ko kasi ng 7 each sa IELTS GT, unfortunately, sumablay ako sa speaking dahil 6.5 lang nakuha ko.
paano ba mag take ng PTE, pano magbook ng exam and magkano? ano ang kailangan kong score para katumbas nito ay 7 each ng IELTS GT?
salamat! hehe
