Which English language proficiency test should I take for universities in the UAE and New Zealand, given my current PTE score of 64?
→You likely do not need a new test. Your PTE Academic score of 64 equals roughly IELTS 6.5, comfortably clears New Zealand's postgraduate benchmark of 58 plus and undergraduate benchmark of 50 plus, and is accepted by most UAE branch campuses, though some local UAE universities still prefer IELTS.
Do I need to provide proof of English proficiency like IELTS or PTE if I have completed a seven-year English medium course abroad in New Zealand?
→Is there any IELTS or PTE waiver available for my BA degree from an open university in New Zealand?
→How should I prepare for the PTE exam and timeline for visa application to meet January intake in UK/New Zealand for a Postgraduate?
→Dedicate 4 to 6 weeks of daily PTE practice, aiming for an overall score of 58 to 65-plus, and book your test 2 to 3 months before your deadline. Submit applications by October, secure your CAS or Offer of Place by December, and lodge your visa by early January.
Will you check my transcripts and PTE score and let me know the best options in New Zealand for a Master's?
