Hi everyone, I’m planning to take the PTE Academic exam and would really appreciate some advice from people who have experience with PTE.

I currently have an IELTS score of 5.5 in Listening, Speaking and Writing, and 5.0 in Reading. My target is 65 in each PTE module (Listening, Reading, Speaking and Writing).

I have around 6 months to prepare, and I’m willing to practise consistently every day. Based on my current IELTS level, do you think it is realistic to achieve 65 in all four PTE skills within 6 months?

If anyone has made a similar improvement, I’d really appreciate advice on how you prepared, how many hours you studied per day, and which resources or strategies helped you most.

Thank you!

Hi everyone,

I wanted to ask if anyone has recently updated a child’s/new passport on their UKVI/eVisa account and had to physically send the passport to the Home Office.

In my case, I sent the passport on 12 May and got it back on 16 May with a letter saying:

“Please allow for 21 days for the update to show on your account.”

The letter also says the change of details has been noted and sent to the relevant team.

My daughter has a flight booked on 27 May, so I’m trying to understand realistic timelines from people who went through the same process recently.

How long did it take for your UKVI account to update after getting the passport back?

Did anyone travel while the update was still pending?

Thanks in advance
