Booking tips
With one centre in the country, slots can fill up; book early and use the free reschedule window (more than 14 days before the test) as your buffer. Candidates from David or Colón travel to Panama City.
To book, create a myPTE account, choose the test, pick a centre and a slot at least 24 hours ahead, and pay. Pearson's booking guide lists American Express, Discover, Mastercard and Visa, and you enter any voucher or promo code at the payment step (Pearson booking guide). Its payment policy adds Google Pay and Apple Pay, rules out PayPal, and says a declined payment cancels the booking.
