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. However, according to the Pearson PLC Group, minimum score of CEFR B2 level, which equals to a PTE Academic score range of 59-75 is generally considered good.
