PTE

Yes, one can prepare for the PTE exam in just 15 days if they already have a good proficiency in English. To determine whether you have reached the required level of preparation for the exam, you can ask yourself the following questions after practising for 15 days:

• Can I speak fluently on common topics without long pauses?
• Can I write a structured essay in 20 minutes?
• Can I follow a fast native speaker's lecture/audio?
• Can I skim-read complex academic passages?

If your answers to most of the questions are mostly "yes", you're ready for a 15-day sprint.

The PTE exam offers multiple exam slots available in a day, from morning to afternoon, and late evening. As a result, there is no single best time for everyone to book their PTE exam. Test takers can book a slot as per their preference. 

Yes you can book PTE even 2 days before if a seat is still free. But many times slots finish quickly, so better book bit early. There is no extra fee, also called the "late fee" for booking in the last 24 hour of taking the PTE exam.  

The fee to request for rescoring of the PTE exam is $125 USD. This fee is refunded if your score changes after the rescoring is complete. 

The latest update by the Pearson PTE involves the addition of two new question types to Part 1 - Speaking & Writing of the PTE exam. This update will not change the overall score range and score report of the PTE exam. The PTE exam score report will continue to be presented between the score range of 10-90. 

Yes, the PTE test fee vary based on the location, i.e. countries, and in some cases, cities. However, the base fee for the PTE Academic exam is fixed per country—set by Pearson—and not typically influenced by the specific test centre and date. It is worth noting that there is no late registration fee for the PTE exam and thus, the PTE exam fee does not vary based on when you opt to take the exam.  

The PTE Academic exam is conducted at only authorised PTE test centres around the world. These test centres are managed either directly by Pearson VUE or through local authorised partners.
There are 62 PTE test centres in India. These test centres are safe and are equipped with headsets, computers, and any other aid upon request for special accommodations is raised by the test takers. Note that each of these test centres accommodate only 10-15 test takers at a time.

The best test centre for the PTE exam is generally considered the one which is nearby to your current location. This is because the authorities recommend you to reach the exam centre before 30 minutes of thedue exam. If you select a far away exam centre then, you must calculate the traveling time in advance so that you don't get late due to any unforeseen issues. If, however, you choose an exam centre in another city, then make sure you come to the city 1 day ahead of the exam.    

There are as many as 16 exmacentres in the different cities of Punjab. There are 3 centres in Jalandhar, Ludhiana, Mohali, 2 centres in Amritsar and the rest are located in Muktsar Sahib, Barnala, Fireozpur, and Bathinda.
