In what sense Torres? people want to achieve certain scores for different reasons.... most likely to achieve the most points by getting 9's For the Thread I did Ielts x 2 and Pte x 1 If you are a native english speaker, go for PTE... if youre not go for Ielts... PTE is pretty fast paced and if you have to re-read questions, you probably won't have time.

Hey, wondering if anyone could advise I need a Spanish Police check I went online, filled out the 790, paid the fee and sent it all along with a JP signed copy of my passport to Madrid Got an email back saying the copy of my passport isn't valid?? I did it this way 6 ish years ago and it was fine Anyone know how to do this other than a trip to Sydney?? Thanks in Advanced

@Matthew Molder - if you go down the route of getting a WHV, don't forget that you could do your 3 months farming work even though your 30, as long has you apply before your 31st birthday, you can get yourself a 2nd year. A lot of people have this misconception that when you hit 30 that you cant get one.... alot of these non gov via info websites say "between 18 and 30" "Requirements You might be able to get this visa if you: are at least 18 but not yet 31 years of age don't have a dependent child with you at any time during your stay in Australia have a passport from:" https://www.border.gov.au/Trav/Visa-1/417-

Appeal it dude!! my speaking was the lowest on the PTE too (still a pass) but my Ielts speaking was 9.0. Maybe they'll manually mark it rather than this computer marking, (which I didnt know about) maybe your headset was screwed and the mic was set too quiet, or distorted.

cool, check out the format of the PTE test, I didnt revise or look it up before hand and i thought it was weird, pm if you want some pointers or how it works

Hey Jim, don't forget the English test is a Cambridge English Test.... so in other words you'll want to speak like the queen. I failed to get all 7's on my first ielts test and I'm british, but keep trying, and keep practicing!! check this dialect video out.

Failed my Ielts couple of weeks ago, did a resit on Saturday. Did a PTE-A exam today and I got all above 65!! woooohooo Same day results. Although I didn't like the test, I got the result!! huge weight off my shoulders
