The Pearson Test of English Academic (PTE) is the first entirely computer-based English language test for international study.
PTE is one of the world’s leading providers of secure English language tests and each year, hundreds of thousands of people trust PTE to help them prove their English proficiency for study, work, or migration – and to open doors to new careers, experiences, and possibilities.
PTE is accepted by the UK, Australia and New Zealand governments for visa applications, and is accepted by over 3,000 universities and colleges for enrolment purposes.
When you complete your PTE test, you receive a Score Report and a Skills Profile to help you understand your test score, your language skill level, and where you can improve.
Each PTE test has 20 question types. Each one is graded differently. Multiple choice answers are scored as either right or wrong, while scored for more complex question types like essay writing are based on many criteria.
Each institution chooses how to set their scores. Typically, you will need to achieve the following minimum scores:
The best way to find out how you might score on test day is to try a Scored Practice Test.
