This is very risky rule. In Speaking section, if you stay silent for 3 seconds, the microphone turns off automatically. The computer thinks you finished the answer. So never pause for long time, just keep speaking something.

Yes, you can go to Australia with a 6-band equivalent in PTE — but it depends on what you are applying for (student visa, work visa, or permanent residency) and what “6 bands” refers to.
If "6 Bands" here is referred to as an equivalent of an IELTS band score, then an overall IELTS score of 6.0 is roughly equal to a PTE Academic score of about 50–58.

You can reschedule a PTE exam slot for 6 times at max. If you need to shift your PTE exam date to another suitable date, make sure to reschedule your PTE exam by logging into your My PTE portal as soon as you get aware of your unavailability on the current exam date.
