"Dear Test Taker,
As you know, PTE Academic scores are usually available within five business days. Sometimes scores are returned more quickly and, in a small number of cases, they may take longer to be returned.
Unfortunately, your score is not yet available. We understand how important your score is and we aim to get it to you as soon as possible. You will receive an additional email when your score report is available. Once you receive this email, you will be able to access your scores
through your web account.
Thank you for your patience."
How long do I need to wait? It's been 11 days na

Recently got hubby's PTE-A result (2nd attempt) S/R/L/W- 90/90/76/74
kinda sad kc di parin achieve ung desired marks
But happy to know na laki ng inc. ng marks nya from the previous, so we've decided to give it another try ( maybe last ?!?), hihihi.
Can I ask po any further advice/tips on how to increase/ possibly hit at least 79 in Listening and Writing?
Maraming salamat po in advance

Ang tip ko lang sa listening, especially dun sa mga may mga choices (eg multiple choice and correct summary), wag nya muna basahin yung mga choices. Basahin nya lang yung question tas isulat na lang nya ng isulat lahat ng tingin nyang importante then kapag binasa na nya yung choices, malalaman na nya kung alin ba talaga yung tamang sagot. For the fill in the blank type, ganun din, wag nya basahin kamo yung choices, makinig lang syang mabuti dun sa speaker and magegets na nya kung ano yung tamang sagot.
For writing, ensure na makaka 280+ words sya sa essay and 55+ words sa summarize written text. Magsend ako sayo ng sample essay ko nung mock exam. I got 89 sa writing nung mock with that essay.
