This test is recognized and trusted by universities and government bodies all over the world. It is also the fastest and fairest of all English language proficiency tests in the world.

PTE is a unit of Pearson PLC Group, a British multinational publishing and education company that is headquartered in London. The PTE Academic was launched in 2009, which is endorsed by the Graduate Management Admission Council (GMAC), the same organization behind the Graduate Management Admission Test (GMAT). Upon launch, it quickly got recognition from more than 6000 universities, a number which is increasing even to this day.

There are three types of PTE exams. PTE General, PTE Academic, and PTE Young Learners Test. The purpose of this test is to accurately assess your speaking and writing, reading and listening abilities of the English language. As PTE Academic is the exam which you should attempt if you are looking to get university admission abroad, we shall discuss it alone.

Who takes PTE and why?
If you are looking to get a university admission from any top study abroad destination and have to prove your English language proficiency, then taking PTE Academic test is an option. PTE is accepted in all top study abroad destinations like the UK, Canada, and Ireland. It is also accepted and can be utilized to fast track your applications to some of the top-notch institutions like Harvard and Yale universities in the US. In addition to university admissions, you can also take the PTE Academic test if you are looking to immigrate (permanent residency) to countries like Australia and New Zealand. Below are a few reasons why people choose PTE over other English language tests like TOEFL and IELTS.

  • The tests are evaluated by an Artificial Intelligence algorithm and this adds up to its accuracy.
  • Unlike human scoring, the evaluation is unbiased and is based on what you say and not on your accent.
  • Compared to other tests, PTE delivers results within 5 working days.
  • PTE provides you an option to send your scores to an unlimited number of universities.
  • It is more convenient to choose an exam date for PTE as the tests are conducted throughout the year.

On the other hand, the PTE Young Learners test is for children aged between 7 to 10. Both these tests are not for university admission or immigration processes.
