While most universities/colleges accept both IELTS and/or PTE Scores, however, there are times when a particular college/university could lean towards one exam over the other. While IELTS is a paper-based exam scored on a scale of 1-9, PTE is a computer-based test scored on a scale of 10-90 points.
Which is tougher IELTS or PTE?
