Pearson Test of English

PTE (Pearson Test of English) is a standardized English language test that assesses the English language proficiency of non-native English speakers.

The goal of the PTE results is to prove whether a student is proficient enough to attend college or migrate to an English-speaking country.

Standardized Test

The examination is taken on a computer in a secure test center environment. PTE Academic measures your English speaking, listening, reading, and writing skills in a single test. It is the only computerized test where all the writing, speaking, reading, and listening sections are tested within two hours. Unlike IELTS or TOEFL, PTE applicants don’t need to appear for the face-to-face interview for the speaking section.

There are three types of the PTE tests. Namely: the PTE Academic Test, PTE General Test and the PTE Young Learners.

  • PTE Academic Test

    The PTE Academic Test examination measures an applicant’s proficiency in English reading, speaking, writing, and listening. This is a two-hour test accepted in over 3,000 universities globally. It is also used for immigration services in the UK, Australia, and New Zealand.

  • PTE General Test

    PTE General Test measures the candidate’s communication skills and not overall proficiency. The test has two sections: a written section and a spoken interview. The examination is evaluated by examiners in the UK. One can take the PTE General Test in May, June, August, November, and December.

  • PTE Young Learners

    This PTE test type is available for students aged between six to 13. It is organized into two parts, spoken, and written. PTE Young Learners has an emphasis on real-life scenarios rather than on knowledge of specific language items and vocabulary.

PTE is accepted by countries like Australia, Canada, Germany, Russia, Ireland, New Zealand, the USA, and the UK. The governments of these countries rely on PTE scores as general eligibility for visa and immigration services to non-native English speakers. Over 3,000 universities worldwide grant admission to students based on their PTE scores.
