I’m scheduled to take the PTE Academic Test on November 21 in Seoul. Let me know if there is anything I should keep an eye out for. I’ll take the test at the “Herald Test Center” in Gangnam, which I have never been to.
A few notes about the registration process:
- This test center offers the PTE-A four days a week, three times each day.
- There are two places to take the PTE in Seoul. The other is the Pearson Professional Center, where I took the PTE-Core last month.
- It took about five minutes to complete the registration process.
- I checked, and saw that there is no late booking fee in Korea. That’s nice. Just note that booking is halted 24 hours before the scheduled test time.
- The fee in Korea is 286,000 KRW, or about $204 USD. That makes it a little bit cheaper than the TOEFL (which costs $220 USD) and the IELTS (which costs 299,000 KRW). That said, I think the British Council has a November/December sale on right now, so you can take the IELTS for 279,000 KRW.
Big thanks to Pearson for providing a test voucher.
There are three more tests I would like to take before the end of 2024. But time moves at an unimaginable speed.
