No, making two My PTE accounts is not acceptable by the Pearson PLC Group for security reasons. The conducting body of the exam recommends that eve if you accidentally make two separate My PTE accounts, then you should merge them both before making an appointment.

If you do not receive your target score or score extremely low on the PTE exam, then you may opt to retake the PTE exam. You can retake the PTE exam as many times s you want, with only a short waiting period in between. Pearson PLC Group allows you to take the PTE exam for a maximum of 12 times within a 12 month window.

Yes, one can prepare for the PTE exam in just 15 days if they already have a good proficiency in English. To determine whether you have reached the required level of preparation for the exam, you can ask yourself the following questions after practising for 15 days:

  • Can I speak fluently on common topics without long pauses?
  • Can I write a structured essay in 20 minutes?
  • Can I follow a fast native speaker's lecture/audio?
  • Can I skim-read complex academic passages?

If your answers to most of the questions are mostly "yes", you're ready for a 15-day sprint.

The PTE exam offers multiple exam slots available in a day, from morning to afternoon, and late evening. As a result, there is no single best time for everyone to book their PTE exam. Test takers can book a slot as per their preference.

Yes you can book PTE even 2 days before if seat still free. But many times slots finish quick, so better book bit early. A late booking fee of around ₹695 to ₹850 extra might be asked to pay.

The PTE exam distinguishes itself from other prestigious English tests based on the following points:

  • The format of the PTE exam is fully computerised. All sections on the exam are meant to be taken online, even the Speaking section, which happens in-person in case of the IELTS test.  
  • Unlike the other English tests, you receive automated scoring in the PTE exam. However, starting 2025, human scoring has been incorporated for some section sof the PTE exam which require scoring of the anomalies - which cannot be accurately assessed by the AI. 
  • Unlike the other English tests, the PTE exam integrates multiple language skills i

Yes, the PTE test fee vary based on the location, i.e. countries, and in some cases, cities. However, the base fee for the PTE Academic exam is fixed per country—set by Pearson—and not typically influenced by the specific test centre and date. It is worth noting that there is no late registration fee for the PTE exam and thus, the PTE exam fee does not vary based on when you opt to take the exam.
