@supercow...

Hk in e shopping sucks really

lets see how this goes

Hi @DeepDheer

 

Let me have a look for it before I say yes. It must be in my spare room somewhere now, but I'll confirm this evening.

You're based in the UK I assume?

Nope

I am based in HK

It's my pleasure, as I said to @Ozmaniac before, if all the money I sunk into IELTS can come to any good and help someone else, I'm more than happy to do it!

 

Don't know if you saw my response in the other thread, did you want me to post you the official PTE-A guide? It has a practise CD rom and audio CD init (I couldnt even use it as none of my fancy laptops actually have DVD drives any more). Just cover my postage, I don't want money for the book.

Supercow, I am planning to give PTE -A this time in order to increase my points. Can you please provide me the book and CD. I will cover the postage. Hope its still available with you

On the basis of the current trend, I'm not confident that it will happen for you. There is an unprecedented amount of people applying under the accountant occupation. There is enough evidence of people who haven't got through even with 65 points and EOI's submitted a lot earlier than yours.

 

If the trend continues, it's likely that no 60 point applicants will be getting through. This will be worsened by the External Auditor occupation filling up rapidly and likely to be either closed or put on pro rata by next month, then those applicants will be all applying under 'accountant'.

 

I'd look into trying to increase your points if I were you. Retaking IELTS or PTE is a popular way of doing this.

 

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but the outlook is not looking good at the moment.

CaptainC, Not even in another 6 - 9 Months ?

I don't mind giving Ielts but getting 8 or more is tough for me in writing ....do you think PTE is better scorer ? If my score increase, Do I need to again go through with the same process of CPA Australia? or just update the new score in EOI.

Another thing: I got the skill assessment done from CPA Australia : based on the application they counted my current employment till july 2015, I am still in the same job, I know few months will not make a difference, but how about next year, again I need to get my skill assessment done ??

Thank you so much for your help !! Really appreciate it

I have recently Filed my EOI with 60 Points under Accountant Category.

I got my work experience assessed from CPA Australia and they considered my post qualification experience which is more than 3 years but less then 5 years.

I am a Chartered Accountant from India. Can I put my articleship period of 3 years in my EOI ? that will more my work ex more den 5 years therefore my points will be 65. I have the letter of completion from ICAI for the same. But in CPA Australia assessment its only post qualification experience that has been counted.

Please advice what can be done.

thanks
