PTE

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. 

The PTE test has evolved over the years to stay relevant to the demands of the university and students. However, rest assured the main focus of the PTE Academic test has remained the same, i.e. to assess your academic-level English speaking, writing, reading and listening skills.

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.

The full form of the PTE exam is Pearson Test of English. It is a computer based test that determines your academic level English writing, reading, speaking and listening skills. The test is designed for non-native speakers of the language who want to study or work abroad.

The cost of PTE Academic Online test is the same as the standard PTE Academic test taken at a test center. The cost of an at-home PTE Academic test or the PTE Academic Online test for Indian students is INR 17,000 (including tax).

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.
