Have you tried using your digital Gcash Mastercard. Have not tried but it should work like any other credit card.

Hi.
I just want to share some observations regarding the test experience for those who will take the exam for the first time. These were probably posted na rin, but I could not backread sa buong thread. 
Just want to thank this forum. I took the PTE Academic exam last August 10 in Makati and nakita ko yung forum na ito mga 2 days before the exam. hehe. I was able to get some insights and tips that helped me rin get my target score.
Sobrang dami ng test-takers. More than 40 kami sa 2:15pm time slot ko. Pero around 10 lang per room.
2:15pm ang slot ko, pero mga 2:05pm pa lang e nag-exam na ako. Pagdating mo e may pila na and i-pa-process ka na nila and then derecho exam na after. Dumating ako sa exam center ng 1:15pm.
Pagpasok mo pa lang e off na agad ang phones. Hindi pwede gumamit ng CR until ma-register ka muna.
Di raw allowed ang naka-jacket (or may hood lang ang bawal?) sabi nung isa na pinabalik sa pila. Di naman masyado malamig sa loob pero nag-polo with undershirt ako para sigurado.
Bawal daw ang mga bracelets, relo, religious items, lucky charms, anklets, etc. Pati tissue at panyo at tubig bawal din.
Tama nga yung comments na rinig mo yung mga katabi mo while taking the exam. Pero di naman din masyado, although distracting kung papansinin mo. Ang ginawa ko na lang e medyo tinaasan ko yung volume ng headset.
Allowed ka lang daw magsulat sa paper mo pag nag-start na yung first item sa exam.
Nakalabas ako ng building mga 4:10pm. Then 6:38pm pa lang e may natanggap na akong message na may result na rin. Sobrang bilis pala ng result.
I guess e mas forgiving ang scoring/grading sa PTE compared sa IELTS.
These are just based on my personal experience when I took the exam in Makati. I just posted these for those who want to know what to expect during the test day. Medyo nagulat ako sa experience since ibang-iba sa experience ko when I took IELTS before.
By the way, hirap maghanap ng parking. Eventually e sa may RCBC building na lang kami nag-park (Basement 7). 110 pesos lang ata ang binayaran namin.
Good luck.

you're welcome, era222. ito rin kasi yung mga info na sana nalaman ko before ako nag-exam. hehe. para lang sana ma-set ko expectations ko. sana ay makatulong sa mga mag-e-exam pa lang.
with regard sa dress code, di ko lang sure. pero parang walang naka-shorts nung exam namin. hindi strict sa building itself. hindi na nga nagpaiwan ng ID yung guard nung nalaman na for PTE exam. hindi na rin hinanap yung sa Makati na covid link ko. pero better na rin kung prepared.

Just like to thank everyone on this group and nakuha ko po yung superior score (muntik ng sumabit). I took the exam Aug 17 1:45pm. Natapos exam exactly 2 hours and nag-email ng result after 3hours.
Nag practice lang po ako sa Apeuni and yung template ni Jimmyssem for DI and RL is still working.
Goodluck sa mga future test takers. Just a friendly advise, practice makes a lot of difference lalo na sa PTE exam. Walang lumabas sa mga nireview ko sa Apeuni pero nakatulong sya kung paano ang approach sa mga questions.

Yes po, nagtemplate din ako.. Actually almost lahat may template ako like essay, SWT, RL, DI, and SST. Kuha ka lang ng template na madali mo makakabisado. I used the template of JimmySsem for essay, medyo mahaba sya pero konti na lang iisipin mong ilagay para macomplete yung 200 words.. Not sure lang kung naging effective ba kasi 79 lang score ko sa Writing

Same! took mine Aug 17, 9:15AM..Got the results immediately, mga 2 hours lang ata after ng exam, nakakakaba nga, Pero buti na lang SUPERIOR, meron din akong isang 79.. CONGRATS sa mga pumasa at nakasuperior. Malaking tulong ung mga naiishare ng mga tao dito! Good luck sa mga test takers.

@Janry nagregister po ako and may dala akong copy pero hindi naman hinanap. Tulad din ng sabi ng iba, maglolog ka lang sa guard then no need na din magiwan ng ID diretso ka na agad sa taas.
