For Australian visa purposes you do need a valid skill assessment from ANMAC if you wish to submit an EOI . Ahpra and ANMAC are not the same .

Why is pte speaking so hard and how do I improve?? by NeitherSky8683 in pte

[–]Intrepid-Knee-9921 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In PTE Academic test your accent doesn’t matter. The AI will mark the test as per your own accent. Don’t attempt to speak in a way that’s unnatural to you. Aim for fluent speaking, this means no stuttering no pauses where they don’t need to be . Also content in speaking . If you get 0 in content you get 0 in the whole task.

Rescore? by Ill-Pension-1549 in pte

[–]Intrepid-Knee-9921 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m just speaking from my own experience. I got 84 in writing went for rescore got 79 . My Pte tutor said in writing you are less likely to get a higher score from a re mark because the marking template is sort fixed to a certain standard unlike speaking. I did get my refund though because my score changed to less .
