  @mgfg I agree with you. Ako, decided to take PTE academic exam this March to increase points. I'm also a 55 pointer also. Mechanical Engineer assessed by Engineers Australia already. I was advised by my agent, though case to case basis, inaabot ng 1-1.5 years kapag di tayo nag increase ng points. Maiinvite pero matagal lang sa queue.
