@engineerlester that will totally depends on your current English language skill. If you have not started try reading information about PTE as per review I have read, its easier to get your desired score in PTE compare to IELTS

Hi, ganun po ba talaga kahirap ang IELTS? Nag sample exam kami last time sa listening GT, naka 6.5 lang ako

@engineerlester EA requires that you have a minimum of 6 for all modules ng IELTS or L12 R13 W21 S18 when taking TOEFL IBT.
Yung iba ginagawa at least ma-meet tong criteria na to for skills assessment then take PTE for the EOI points kasi mas madali makakuha ng mataas na scores.
