No specific criteria have been outlined by the test conducting authority for individuals wishing to take the test. However, students have to be 16 years old to take the test. A parental consent document must be obtained for students who are less than 18 years old.
The PTE consists of three primary sections: Speaking, Writing, Listening, and Reading. Between the reading and listening portions, there is an optional 10-minute break throughout the three-hour session.
With a variety of questions, the academic test will assess your language proficiency in a real-world context. The test consists of 20 different kinds of questions, from multiple-choice questions to essay writing.
Part 1 will concentrate on your writing and speaking abilities.
Part 2 will concentrate on your reading abilities.
Your listening abilities will be the main emphasis of Part 3.
The PTE Academic exam is a combined skill assessment. Multiple skills will be assessed simultaneously in every part of the test.
The exam is scored on a global English scale. Any other English language assessment, including the TOEFL and IELTS, can be used to compare the results. For a summary of the scoring system, see the table below.
| IELTS | 4.5 | 5.0 | 5.5 | 6.0 | 6.5 | 7.0 | 7.5 | 8.0 | 8.5 | 9.0 |
| TOEFL iBT |
40-44 | 54-56 | 65-66 | 74-75 | 79-80 | 87-88 | 94 | 99-100 | 105 | 113 | 120 |
Your total score as well as the scores for your enabling and communicating skills will be included in the score report. Each skill has a score range of 10 to 90 points.
Your total score represents your overall proficiency in the English language and is determined by adding together all of the test’s parts.
Your communicative abilities are based on skill categories such as reading, writing, listening, and speaking, either separately or in combination with other skills.
Based on the quality, formal elements, and accuracy of the answer, points are given. You will receive one point for each right response. If the answer is just half accurate, you can still get some credit.
After the exam, your results will be available in five days. You can only view your scores online using your PTE account. An email informing you of the same will be sent to you. In addition, you are free to forward your results to as many universities as you desire as well as the immigration offices in the UK, Australia, or New Zealand for those purposes.
