Common PLE Application Mistakes

Name mismatch. Use your legal name exactly as on your PSA Birth Certificate including your full middle name.

Requesting OTR too late. University registrars take 2 to 4 weeks. Request yours the moment you decide to take the exam.

Not compressing upload files. Large files cause upload errors. Use TinyPNG or similar tools before uploading.
