Western Sydney IELTS - Parramatta

I did my PTE test on 10th July, 2024. Looking at the reviews I was kind of scared but when I went there I didn’t feel like that anymore. The reason is the person in charge David, he was so nice. He explained each and everything in simple words to everyone about how to wear the headset, also what to do if we want to go to toilet or drink water during the exam. He was kind of funny as well. After my exam also, he asked me how I did, I explained him what happened and he reassured me. Also, the environment around the test room was quiet and even the people I was giving exam with didn’t speak too loudly. Overall, I loved my experience here and got my desired score as well. Thank you.

My experience taking the PTE exam here was positive. The test administrator was helpful in providing instructions on how to position the microphone properly. Thanks to the administrator's guidance, no one was shouting that day (he mentioned that if someone was too loud and others asked for assistance, their scores would be delayed). I received my results on the third day after taking the test and scored 90 in all bands (this is my first attempt of taking the PTE exam). My friend who took the test here on the same day with me got their result after 90 mins.

There are a lot of mixed reviews of many PTE centers across Sydney. After visiting Olympic park test center today I must admit I can see where the negative reviews are coming from. Dave/David the person in charge of this place has a unique way of providing instruction to some that may come off as rude at times due to the tone and mannerism in which he explains you your responsibilities. But I must say, I absolutely love his effort. He not only puts in effort to ensure his instructions are loud and clear but honestly in third attempt at PTE he is the first one I have seen that eagerly encourages you for your test and puts you at ease. Not once have I recieved details instructions and also amazing tips on getting your equipment set up properly. It was very refreshing. However, yes its a bit compact room and if you are not used to speaking among other people but I guess its something you mist adjust to if you wanna give your exam at this place.
