    With the opening of the latest PTE Academic center in Turkey earlier this year, at Dokuz Eylul University in Izmir, test takers have a wider choice of exam locations across the country than ever before.

    Many test takers, whether from Turkey itself or those traveling from Iran for instance, will book at one of the four PTE Academic centers available in Istanbul.

    However, there are also test slots available in many other parts of the country, including the capital Ankara, Denizli, Erzurum, Sarica, Adana, and now Izmir.

    Sinan Kezer, Pearson Turkey Country Director, said “More and more test takers are booking PTE Academic in Turkey, whether they are domestic students or workers, or they are traveling in to take the test from other countries.

    “We already have a wide choice of locations that people can choose from to take PTE Academic. As PTE Academic becomes increasingly popular, due to its flexible booking service, test slot availability, fast results, and accurate and impartial scoring, so we will continue to look to expand our center network.”

    Malaysia’s 7th PTE Academic test center launched on July 5. The new test center is managed by our test delivery partner, Big Assessment Group, and was launched at their premises in Skudai, a suburb in Johor Bahru. As one of the latest to join a growing global network of test centers providing frequent testing and fast, reliable results, the new test center allows for greater choice and access to English language testing for Malaysian and international students.

    Johor Bahru is not only the 3rd largest city in Malaysia, it is the next largest education destination in Malaysia after Kuala Lumpur, making it an ideal choice of location. Johor Bahru is a stone throw’s away from EduCity Iskandar Malaysia, an integrated multi-campus education hub that boasts off-shore niche faculties of big-name international universities and schools like Henley Business School – University of Reading Malaysia, Newcastle University Medicine Malaysia, University of Southampton Malaysia, Marlborough College Malaysia, Raffles American School, among others. The city is also home to Universiti Teknologi Malaysia (UTM), Malaysia’s 5th largest public university with a vibrant and diverse 3500 strong international student community. Furthermore, the largest Chinese Independent Secondary School in Malaysia, Foon Yew High School, resides in Johor Bahru and has over 7000 students with its alumni choosing to study abroad in Taiwan, China, Australia, the UK, USA and Canada.

    Wishing our newest test center in Malaysia, the Big Assessment Group Test Center in Skudai the very best! Hope you will unlock your potential and grow the PTE Academic test taking community down south, making PTE Academic the test of choice that will help students and prospective migrants make their dreams of studying and living abroad a reality!
