@grace_8200420 PTE is valid for two years.

@jmvms Agree with sir @batman, usually yung mga may experience na sa IELTS, they do well pagdating sa PTE. You may want to check practice sets sa youtube and even search lang sa google, madami nang lalabas na materials.

@alfa I think automatic talaga sya since PTE asks for the purpose of your exam and to what country you're aiming for. Not sure about sa exact answer dito but I consulted my agent kasi nga failed ako sa speaking on my first take, and they said naman na walang problema yun or no bearing as long as ultimately provided din sa DIBP yung desired scores.

@tomangelo I have taken both IELTS and PTE. I prefer PTE.

Ito lang masabi ko about them:

PTE

- mas madali maatain yung target score mo kung kagaya ko na need ng 79+. Hindi ko man nakuha ung target score ko sa first take, pero isang band lang naman which is speaking )

- mas mabilis results/ mas madali makapagschedule agad

- mas nasa comfort zone para sakin kasi computer based yung exam di masakit sa kamay sa writing at hindi ko na kailangan bilangin pa kung nakakailang words na ba ako )

- the whole process just takes 3 hours.

CONS :

- pag first time magtake nakakailang at nakakadistract yung maririnig mo yung mga kasabay mo na nageexam during speaking part. Yung setup kasi ay parang sa office lang na may mga cubicle lang bawat isa at magkakatabi.

- madaming iba ibang types yung exam na sa una overwhelming kasi madami dami ka dapat ipractice. Sa IELTS kasi pag reading, reading lang talaga magbabasa lang. Dito kasi sa PTE combination palagi.Listening na may speaking, reading na may speaking, etc.

IELTS

- yung speaking nila is done in a private room na wala makakarinig sayo unlike sa PTE

- IMHO mas madali reading. generous yung time for the activity. Medyo tingin ko kasi maikli yung time na binibigay sa PTE although natapos ko naman reading ko dun.

- no combined tests. Gaya ng nasabi ko sa taas kapag reading, basa lang then write the answer. Listening, listen then write the answer.

CONS

- matagal results. 13days.

- manual yung pagsagot. Sa totoo lang sumakit kamay ko sa writing. Bibilangin ko pa yung words na nagamit ko kung umabot ba )

- tagal ng process ng registration. It takes almost 2 hours ata?

- hiwalay pa venue ng speaking and exam and minsan separate days pa. Medyo hassle for me lalo na pag natapat sa work day.

These are just from what i experienced.andami ko pala nalagay na cons sa IELTS ) .

Price for both are the same around 9k+ pero may promo code sila na binigay dito for PTE that gives 10% discount yung PTE2015 na code sorry napahaba!

May option na may dun kapag magbu-book ka ng exam na kung gusto mo ba isend sa DIBP ung result ng PTE mo, deselect mo lang un para nde nag-aauto-send.

mrkanncpa · August 2016

@chehrd There are no other testing centers in the PH aside from that one in Makati
