  @adel1988 Personally, tingin ko mas mahirap yung PTE exam mismo compared to IELTS. BUUUUT generally it is indeed easier to get higher marks sa PTE since more objective ang evaluation niyan. Ako, higher nakuha kong score sa PTE compared to when I took IELTS. You guys can join/read through the PTE thread here, super helpful ang mga tao and marami kayong makukuhang tips to get higher marks.

  @adel1988 by the way, anong line of work ng husband mo? Usually kasi sa ibang occupations (lalo na sa IT), pro-rated ang pagbigay nila ng invitations, so there is a backlog sa lower-scored EOIs. Like example sa occupation ko (ICT Business Analyst), the minimum score invited during the last round was 65 with visa date of effect July 2016. Meaning, if your score is 65 and below, you need to wait pa na masendan ng invite yung mga nagsubmit ng EOI after July 2016 until present. Kaya tama si @Admin always go for higher points hanggang makakaya. Hope this helps!

  Hi Guys,
  
  Tanong ko lang po: if you want your IELTS results to also be sent to CPAA or ACS, what do you put in the IELTS exam online application?
  or is DIBP - Australia enough na po?
  
  Looking forward to hear from anyone. thank you.

  CPAA, ACS and DIBP does not require original result to be sent to them. Only Engineers australia requires original copy to be sent directly to them. So no need.
