PEARSON TEST OF ENGLISH (PTE) EVERYTHING YOU NEED TO KNOW
PTE ACADEMIC
To thrive in an academic setting where English is the primary medium of instruction, students
must demonstrate strong communication skills. The Pearson Test of English Academic (PTE
Academic) is designed to assess the English language proficiency of individuals aiming to study
in institutions where English is the language of instruction.
Specifically created for non-native English speakers, PTE Academic evaluates a student’s ability
to understand and use English across four key skills: Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking.
This assessment ensures that candidates are well-prepared to participate in lectures, engage in
discussions, and complete academic assignments effectively.
Why Choose PTE Academic?
PTE Academic is accepted by over 3,500 universities and colleges worldwide for study purposes, as well as by Australia and New Zealand for work and immigration visas, and for professional registrations. Educational institutions in English-speaking countries use PTE Academic scores to assess an applicant’s readiness to succeed in an academic environment.
Developed by Pearson, one of the world’s leading education companies, the test incorporates global expertise from countries such as the UK, USA, Canada, and Australia. PTE Academic is aligned with the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages (CEFR), a widely recognized standard for language assessment. The test content is internationally accepted, providing a reliable benchmark of a candidate’s ability to communicate effectively in academic English on a global scale.
PTE Core
PTE Core is Pearson’s newly launched English language test tailored specifically for Canadian
economic immigration and employment purposes. Accepted by Immigration, Refugees and
Citizenship Canada (IRCC), this test evaluates the core language skills needed to live and work in
Canada.
Just like PTE Academic, PTE Core is a fully computer-based test that uses AI to provide quick,
unbiased results. However, it is specifically aligned with the Canadian Language Benchmarks
(CLB) rather than the CEFR.
Key Features of PTE Core:
â—Ź Recognized by IRCC for Canadian permanent residency pathways
â—Ź Focuses on real-world communication skills required in everyday work and social
  settings
â—Ź Covers four language skills: Speaking, Writing, Reading, and Listening
â—Ź Delivers fast results, typically within 2 business days
â—Ź Designed for maximum convenience, with flexible test dates and test centers worldwide
  Whether you’re aiming to pursue academic excellence abroad through PTE Academic or looking
  to migrate and work in Canada through PTE Core, Pearson’s English tests provide a globally
  trusted path forward.
PTE Scoring System
PTE Academic is entirely machine-scored, ensuring fairness and accuracy. It consists of an
overall score and four communicative skills scores (listening, reading, speaking, writing)
Some responses are evaluated solely on correctness, while others also consider the quality and
structure of the response. The scoring model is designed to provide an objective and consistent
assessment of your English language skills.
Test Results – Typically Within 48 Hours
One of the key advantages of choosing the PTE Test is the quick turnaround time for test results.
Pearson uses advanced AI-based scoring systems to evaluate your test, ensuring both accuracy
and speed. Test results are typically available within 48 hours of completion, making PTE one of
the fastest English proficiency tests in terms of score delivery. This is particularly beneficial for
candidates working with tight application or immigration deadlines.
Overall Scores
Your overall score reflects how well you performed throughout the entire test. During the test,
you’ll complete between 52 and 64 tasks, drawn from 20 different types of activities.
The overall score is measured on a scale from 10 to 90 points.
Important: The overall score is not a simple average of your scores in the communicative skills
(Listening, Reading, Speaking, and Writing). Instead, it is calculated based on your performance
across all tasks in a more complex way.
Communicative Skills Score (Paraphrased)
The PTE Academic test evaluates four core communicative skills: Listening, Reading, Speaking,
and Writing. Each skill is scored on a scale from 10 to 90 points.
Many test tasks assess more than one skill at the same time—these are known as integrated
skills tasks. For example, a task might test both Reading and Speaking, or Listening and Writing
together.
When you complete these integrated tasks, your performance contributes to the scores of both
relevant skills.
Sending Your PTE Scores to Universities
After completing the PTE Academic test, candidates can easily send their scores to the
universities or institutions of their choice—at no additional cost.
Free Score Reporting
Pearson allows you to send your score report to as many institutions as you wish at no cost.
Unlike some other popular English proficiency tests that charge extra per recipient, PTE
Academic offers unlimited score sending, making it more affordable and student-friendly.
How to Send Your Scores
1. Log in to your myPTE account.
2. Navigate to the “Send Scores” section.
3. Search for your desired university or institution from the list of PTE-recognized
organizations.
4. Select the institution(s) and confirm.
Scores are typically sent electronically and securely, ensuring a fast and reliable delivery to your
chosen institutions.
Processing Time
â—Ź Once scores are released (typically within 48 hours), they are sent to the selected
institutions immediately.
â—Ź Most universities receive the scores within 24 to 48 hours after they’re sent.
