    MY ROAD TO AUSTRALIAN PR

    Nominated Occupation: Architectural Draftsperson - ANZSCO 312111 (Offshore)

    Apr 25: VETASSESS – I finished gathering all my documents. I created my account and started filling up the Skills Assessment for General Occupation Application.
    Apr 29: VETASSESS – I double-checked my documents. I started uploading the required documents. I decided not to include my first work in the Philippines because I don’t have payment evidence of it. I didn’t include my 1st work in Singapore as well because I don’t have a Certificate of Employment from that job.
    Apr 30: VETASSESS – I double-checked my documents for the last time.
    May 01: VETASSESS – I successfully submitted my online assessment for Architectural Draftsperson. Total amount paid is AUD$ 880 (SGD$ 842.66) Crossing my fingers that the outcome will be positive.
    May 05: VETASSESS – My application status was lodged.
    Jul 12: VETASSESS – After 11 weeks, the results came out and it was Positive. Number of years assessed positively was 9.63 which is equivalent to 15 points in EOI.
    Jul 25: IELTS – I finally booked my IELTS Computer-delivered Test for SGD$ 365. My test date was Aug 16, 2020.
    Aug 16: IELTS – It was my test day. Speaking, Listening, Reading, and Writing were all taken on this day.
    Aug 21: IELTS – My test results came out. L: 9.0 R: 7.5 W: 7.0 S: 7.5 which is Proficient English. It is equivalent to 10 points in EOI.
    Aug 22: EOI – I finally submitted my Expression of Interest (EOI) in SkillSelect for NSW Visa 190.

    State Nomination: 5
    Years of Experience: 15
    Total: 70 points

    *Invitation rounds for NSW nomination under the Skilled Nominated visa (subclass 190) are currently closed.

    2022

    Jul 5: IELTS – Since my IELTS exam result was expiring on Aug 16, 2022, I booked my 2nd IELTS Computer-delivered Test for SGD$ 378. My test date was on Jul 17, 2022. I didn’t know at that time that Australia is accepting its validity for 3 years. But I was able to use it as well for my Canada PR application.

    If you will compare the exams today from before 2021, mas maiksi na siya ngayon based sa videos na napanood ko. Dati raw 2.5hrs yung exam, now it's only 2 hrs.

    I recently took the exam last Jan 09, 2023 at ginamit ko parin yung mga templates from E2 language at ok naman yung results ko. So siguro nga workable parin.

    hello guys, who has recently took PTE exam this Jan 2023,, any changes, all the template and tips & tricks still workable?

    If you will compare the exams today from before 2021, mas maiksi na siya ngayon based sa videos na napanood ko. Dati raw 2.5hrs yung exam, now it's only 2 hrs.

    I recently took the exam last Jan 09, 2023 at ginamit ko parin yung mga templates from E2 language at ok naman yung results ko. So siguro nga workable parin.

    Another useful tip is check mo yung most recent or newest comments sa YouTube videos ng E2, Jimmyssem, and other templates na gagamitin mo. Most of the time, recent examinees testify whether the strategy still works. Sort mo lang yung comments by "Newest".

    hello guys, who has recently took PTE exam this Jan 2023,, any changes, all the template and tips & tricks still workable?

    If you will compare the exams today from before 2021, mas maiksi na siya ngayon based sa videos na napanood ko. Dati raw 2.5hrs yung exam, now it's only 2 hrs.

    I recently took the exam last Jan 09, 2023 at ginamit ko parin yung mga templates from E2 language at ok naman yung results ko. So siguro nga workable parin.

    hello, am referring 2022 vs 2023 exams. I took exam last May 2022 and unfortunately not hit the desire score 83, 75, 75, 73. nkuha nio ba superior scorE?

    mejo magastos, pero try lang po nang try. yung unang take ko is last Dec 2022 at ang nakuha ko is 90, 78, 90, 79. kakahinayang kasi 1 point lang sana superior na ako. I had no choice but to retake it at sa awa ng diyos nakuha ko naman yung desired score to qualify for superior last Jan 09, 2023.

    Focus lang po muna kayo sa component na sa tingin niyo is yung pinaka weakness niyo at yun po yung paulit-ulit niyong pag-aralan.

    Apr 30: VETASSESS – I double-checked my documents for the last time.
    May 01: VETASSESS – I successfully submitted my online assessment for Architectural Draftsperson. Total amount paid is AUD$ 880 (SGD$ 842.66) Crossing my fingers that the outcome will be positive.

    Hello. Gusto ko lang po magthank you sa thread na 'to, sa lahat po ng tips and tricks na shi-nare niyo dito. Sobrang laking help po. Share ko na rin po yung experience ko... Nakatatlong take po ako ng PTE bago ko nakuha yung superior. Yes, nakakafrustrate pero kinaya naman po. Nagpractice lang ako ng nagpractice sa ApeUni, inavail ko yung VIP nila. Sulit naman po. Magfocus sa: Read Aloud, Repeat Sentence, Fill in the Blanks Reading/Writing tsaka sa Write from Dictation. Malaki kasi percentage ng mga yan sa exam. Syempre, wag din kalimutan samahan ng maraming prayers. Walang impossible kay Lord.


    1st take: October 2022

    2nd take: December 2022

    3rd take: January 2023

    eto pala yung templates na ginamit ko.

    Godbless po sa mga future takers. :smile:
