PTE

Generally it is recommended to take the PTE exam at Pearson-authorised test centres only as these test centres - 

• are equipped with superior and standardised testing environments,  
• have dedicated professional staff, and
• provide better technical support if a glitch occurs.

You can change/reschedule your PTE exam date for a maximum of 6 times. You must have at least 14 days left for your PTE exam to make changes to your test date. If there are lesser than 14 days left, you can no longer change or reschedule your test.

At this point, you can only cancel your PTE test appointment and book another one. Cancellation charges may apply depending on the number of days left for your exam on the date of cancellation.

You cannot book the PTE exam slot for the same day. But you can book a PTE exam slot up to 24 hours before the test time.

Booking a PTE exam slot at least 2 to 3 weeks ahead is generally recommended. This will give you enough time to cancel/reschedule and get a refund if your plan happens to change, in due time. Also, you may get your desired date and time slot when you book in advance.
