PTE Scores

Your PTE Academic scores remain valid for two years from the date you took the test. During this time, you can use your PTE score to apply to universities abroad without having to pay any extra fees. However, post the completion of two years of the release of your PTE scores, you will not be able to access your PTE exam result and scores. 

PTE Academic scores are typically made available within two working days (48hrs). After the completion of your PTE Academic exam, you will receive PTE Academic scores for each of the skill sections in a band range of 10 – 90. Along with that, you will also get an overall PTE score.

Candidates should understand that there is no such thing as a good PTE Academic score. Every university would have its own PTE Academic score cut-off and students are required to achieve scores equal or higher than the set grade. Candidates should note that a higher PTE Academic score would automatically increase their chances of securing a seat at the university and also make them a front runner for any scholarships being offered by the university.
