@everyone One of the best resources I found for IELTS Writing is this page: IELTS Writing Task 2 preparation . You’ll learn about essay types, structures, and see clear examples of good vs. bad answers—super helpful to understand what works and what to avoid. 🙂

Hi everyone, I’d like to ask for advice about the PTE exam. 🙏

I’ve been practicing using APEUNI for the past week and I’m not sure how reliable the scores are compared to the actual PTE. My goal is to hit Superior English for migration purposes, and I’m planning to take the exam next week.

Here’s my recent mock exam history (1 week):

Sept 9 – L: 78 | R: 75 | S: 88 | W: 85
Sept 8 – L: 83 | R: 79 | S: 89 | W: 87
Sept 5 – L: 81 | R: 77 | S: 89 | W: 81
Sept 4 – L: 85 | R: 74 | S: 85 | W: 83
Sept 2 – L: 84 | R: 80 | S: 90 | W: 85
Sept 1 – L: 87 | R: 78 | S: 87 | W: 81
Aug 29 – L: 83 | R: 81 | S: 89 | W: 84

Given these scores, do you think APEUNI is a good gauge of my readiness?
Also, for those who already took PTE in the Philippines:

Which test center/branch would you recommend?
Any advice on the best time/day to schedule the exam (morning vs afternoon)?
Would really appreciate any tips or experiences you can share before I book my slot. Thank you! 🙏

Hello po, mataas na po yung score nyo for APE Uni and I believe you can score superior in actual. I believe mas maging prepared po kayo na madami kayo sa room kasi nakakabigla talaga pag sabay sabay na nagsasalita

Thank you so much po! I'm actually practicing with PTE background noise sa youtube. Thankfully kaya ng brain ko maisolate yung mock test from the background noise. Saan po kayo nagtake ng exam btw? Closest kasi ako sa Alabang kaso wala na silang slot for next week. Would like to book sa may maayos na testing area. Also meron po ba kayong alam na source for PTE exam vouchers? Thank you!!

Hello, everyone! May I ask po if ilang years ang validity ng PTE Score for PR purposes? Sa test report po kasi 2 yrs but based sa internet and sabi ng iba, 3yrs daw po if for PR use. Thank you po!

3Yrs according to immi mismo but if you taken before 7th Aug 2025 but you need to check the visa subclass.

On 7 August 2025, the English language tests approved for Australian visa purposes changed. If you completed a test before this date, your results may still be valid for up to 3 years. This will depend on the visa subclass you apply for.

Thank you very much for the response! I took it last year 2024 and was wondering if hindi palarin for an invite this FY, baka need i-retake. Just to be prepared. Huhu. Will check the link you've given. Thank you!
