The current PTE Academic Exam syllabus consists of 22 task types split across three integrated sections, i.e. Speaking & Writing (76-84 min), Reading (22-30 min) and Listening (31-39 min). The overall duration of the PTE test is 2 hours and 15 min but usually test takers complete it in 2 hours only.

No. Unlike IELTS, retaking a single low-scoring module or task is not possible in the PTE Exam. If you score low, you will have to retake the entire exam. However, if you are not happy with your scores, you can ask for a re-score, costing USD 160. If any difference is found, your score will be updated and the rescoring fee too will be refunded.

PTE Academic and PTE Core are both two-hour computer-based English tests using AI scoring. However PTE Academic is designed for university admissions and global migration (like Australia and New Zealand); while PTE Core is tailored for Canadian permanent residency and citizenship. PTE Core is not accepted for university applications.

There are no passing or failing scores for the PTE exam - as its the lowest score is 10 and the highest is 90. Pearson only recommends specific score ranges that align with different CEFR levels - the standard accepted universally. With this, the standard level of English proficiency required for admission to universities abroad is CEFR B2 level. The PTE score corresponding to the CEFR B2 level is 59 to 75. Hence, most universities abroad require at least 60-65 scores on the PTE, which should also be the minimum target aimed at by Indian students planning to study abroad.
