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, however, you choose an exam centre in another city, then make sure you come to the city 1 day ahead of the exam.
