Pearson’s Test of English (PTE) Academic is the world’s leading computer-based test of English, approved by Australian Government for visa application and accepted by all education institutions. It is preferred by many for fast releasing of results, five working days, as compared to other language tests. Furthermore, testing dates are flexible and can be taken in one of the 13 test centres across Australia.

First, as a computer-based test, the approach in preparing for PTE Academic is different from other known language test of English. However, the importance of preparedness remains the same. Test takers should consider allotting time and effort to know the PTE Academic, its dynamics and on how to tackle the section questions.

Secondly, to start the PTE Academic process, everyone is required to register, and create a web account. After entering all the required data and finishing the steps, Username and Password will be sent to the preferred email address. Payment can be made through credit or debit card; vouchers or promotional codes which are the preferred methods. PTE vouchers are offered at special price but should only be purchased from authorised resellers, e.g. AECC Global. Standard PTE test fee is AUD 330, at AECC Global is able to offer it at AUD 297 when purchased from their site, amount to AUD 33 of savings.

Thirdly, preparedness is among the most important factors in earning high marks in the PTE test. Although there are heaps of free materials over the internet to be used for practice, it may not be suitable for everyone’s training needs. There is no doubt PTE coaching promises improvements and concrete guidance about test preparations, techniques, tips and mock tests. Available from AECC Global, coaching packages will vary depending on the need of test takers. Free study materials, practice tests and one-on-one feedback are included in the package.

When the test Day finally comes, examinees are advised to arrive in the examination centre at least 30 minutes earlier. This is to have ample time to undergo admin and security pass. Identity of the test taker will be checked, thus he/she must bring a valid, non-expired, government issued ID that shows the name in Roman characters (A-Z), with recognisable photograph, and signature. Along with ID, digital signature and palm vein scan will be taken. Palm vein pattern is unique and will be used to check your identity. Arriving earlier at the exam centre will also give time to relax before the test starts.

With extensive PTE preparation, takers are expected to be confident, calm and focused, especially if they have gone through the complete coaching sessions. The tests pattern, timing and what to expect are all part of the mock tests.

Lastly, one of the benefits in taking PTE test is the short waiting time in getting the results. Five working days is all that is needed after which test takers will receive an email notification. Examinees will be asked to login to AECC GLOBAL using individual Pearson Vue account to view the scores and also send them to their preferred institutions. Results will remain in the Pearson’s website for two years.

Indeed, PTE Academic is fast gaining recognition and becoming the preferred test of English language proficiency. We at AECC Global are committed to assist in your PTE, from registration, to our specially priced vouchers to coaching session packages. Guiding your success in the PTE Academic journey is our motivation.
