1. Anybody can take the test as long as you are 16 years of age. If one is 16 or 17 years of age, a parental consent is required to be able to take the exams. Furthermore, the test covers various areas so it doesn't really check on a limited and specific area but somehow what is being measured is one's capability on varying coverages such as listening, reading, speaking and writing.

2. One good preparation also is to make use of the free samples of the actual test on the provided website: www.pearsonpte.com and if allowed, you can also purchase your own set of the test so that you can have a feel of how the test could be in actual setting. 

3. All of the four areas of the test (reading, writing, listening, speaking) are weighted similarly. And it does not require also that one must come from an English speaking country to book the test. This test is designed even for non-native speakers of English from almost 100 countries so in other words, it is recommended just for anybody who is willing and interested to take it.

In addition, he will also be asked to provide ID so it is better to secure one that is validly recognised by PTE.
