Exam

Universities in USA require PTE Academic scores between 59-75 - equivalent to CEFR Level B2. High PTE scores are needed for getting admitted to top colleges and in-demand courses. 

The cut-off marks for the PTE exam are not defined by the Pearson PLC Group (the conducting body of the exam). However, universities abroad define the minimum PTE scores required to get admitted to their pretigious courses. Most Universities require a PTE score 59 to shortlist student applications. Thus, students must aim to receive at least 59 marks on thir PTE exam. 

You can get PTE sample papers with answers in PDF format from official website. Apart from this there are different preparation materials also available which can be referred to later.

Candidates are strictly advised against using unfair means during the PTE exam. As this would lead to the conducting body severely penalising the candidate which could also include banning the candidate from taking the PTE exam for life.

To successfully start your PTE preparation, begin by thoroughly familiarizing yourself with the exam structure, including its different sections, question types, and time limits. Then, create a structured study plan that incorporates regular practice with official resources, online tools, and practice tests. Focus on improving your English skills in all areas (speaking, writing, reading, and listening), and frequently assess your progress to identify areas for enhancement.

The best source is Official Guide to PTE by Pearson. Also use scored practice tests on Pearson website to check your level before real exam. This way you score well in PTE exam.

Always buy books from Pearson official publication. Don't use random local books because PTE software changes often. Test books such as "PTE Academic Practice Tests Plus" and coursebooks like "Expert PTE Academic Coursebook B1 & B2" are good to improve you skills for the test.
