PTE or IELTS from Egypt?
PTE is cheaper here (EGP 8,600 against EGP 9,400–10,200 for IELTS on computer) and scored by software. IELTS has more cities, including Tanta, Mansura, Beni Suef and Minya, and a face-to-face speaking test. Both are accepted for UK and Australian visas; Canada's Express Entry takes PTE Core, not PTE Academic.
