I also took IELTS 2x here in Dubai, nag fail ako both times with just .5 difference sa Writting (1st test) then another .5 sa Speaking (2nd test). Then nag PTE na ako.
Got my desired score from my first exam and more! naka 90 ako on all categories kaya gulat rin ako.
check out E2 Language from youtube and do the practice test to see where you're lacking.

I suggest take the test in an inconspicuous day like Tuesday morning (10am). That way konti lang kayo mag tetest, nung test date ko, 2 lang kami (indian yung kasabay ko). Sa Al Barsha (JNS), punuan usually.
Like I said, do take E2 Languages videos from youtube seriously, lalu na yung sa Describe Image method nila.
Good luck Diana!

Btw, you have an option whether to choose VISA 189/190. Depends on the outcome of your assessment. Like me, I am still waiting for the assessment as to how many years the VETASSESS will give me as my years of exp in my IA occupation.

I took my PTE last Sat, 25Feb, here in Jeddah. Up til now wala pa rin result. There was an incident during my exam. After ko mag mic test ng pagkatagal tagal, nung nagstart na ko mag read aloud, nagtaka ko bakit in 2-3 sec eh biglang nagcomplete na agad ung recording eh ilang words pa lang yung nasasabi ko. Then I called the attention of the admin, he said just click next and try again tapos umalis na sya. So 2nd item, same thing happened. I called him again. Next ko lang din daw ulet. 3rd item same thing. Then the admin, rebooted my PC.
While waiting for my PC to boot, chineck ko yung button sa headset for the controls ng volume at mic na nakabaligtad facing down sa table. AYUN! nakamute pala mic. Napindot pala yung mute button. It was a new type of headset (Microsoft). Nung First take ko di pa un ang headset, Plantronics pa ata yun.
To cut the story short, sabi nung admin magfile nalang daw sya ng incident report then expect ako ng call from PTE. I waited two days now. I called again the test center today, just finding out na di pala nagsubmit ng incident report itong si admin guy. grrrrr....
Now meron na kong incident number. But when I called the PTE Customer Service (na napakamahal ng charge) sabi nila since ngayon lang daw nacreate yung incident report, I would need to wait for another couple of days for the call. If wla daw tumawag, follow up ako after 3-5 days. Haayyy...
After all the preparations, and thinking na "this is it!!!", ayun hassle pa. I was hoping pa naman na makahabol for the March1 invi round.
Anyways, all is in God's control. Just need to trust in His perfect timing...
Just sharing guys...
