I spent £160 on a PTE Home B1 test and was denied entry at the test centre due to my middle name being absent from my registration, despite showing a valid passport. The company's booking system accepted my information and processed the payment without any issues. However, the problem was only highlighted on the exam day, making it too late to resolve. The test centre staff managed to update my name in their system in under two minutes and confirmed my profile would be corrected for future bookings (if I paid the full fee again). Unfortunately, the company denied both a refund and a free rebooking. Following this incident, I opted for my test with another institution. Their registration process is much clearer, with distinct fields for all necessary information (including the middle name), and their support team is significantly more helpful and accommodating if you require assistance after booking. This seems to be a recurring issue with the company, as evidenced by numerous similar reports online. I recommend steering clear of PTE if you want to avoid losing your money over a clerical error.
