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.

No. Currently, the Pearson PLC Group has discontinued the PTE Academic Online testing format, which allowed the test takers to take the test from the comfort of their homes. Candidates can now take the PTE test only at a test centre.

Roughly, yes! A PTE score around 65 is generally equivalent to an IELTS Band 7.0. But check your university-specific requirements. They may require a minimum score in each section.Not just total average.

Yes, you can go to Australia with a 6-band equivalent in PTE — but it depends on what you're applying for (student visa, work visa, or permanent residency) and what “6 bands” refers to.
If "6 Bands" is referred to as IELTS bandscore equivalent, then an overall IELTS score of 6.0 is roughly equal to a? PTE Academic score of about 50–58.
This allows you to go on a Australian Subclass-500 student visa which require a minimum PTE score 50. However, this score may not be suitable for admissions to many top Australian universities as they require a minimum PTE score of 65.
