PTE or IELTS?

Both are accepted for the UK and Australia with identical outcomes. IELTS has ten test cities in Bangladesh and a face-to-face speaking test; PTE is concentrated in Dhaka, scored by software and faster to return. If you live outside Dhaka the travel cost may decide it; otherwise decide by a scored mock of each.
