PTE Academic is a computer-based English language proficiency test that assesses your real-world ability to read, write, listen and speak in English. It is accepted by thousands of universities, employers and immigration authorities around the world as proof of your English proficiency.
The test is scored using a combination of AI scoring and human expertise, removing examiner bias and delivering fast, accurate, consistent results. It is widely used for university admissions, professional registration, and visa or migration applications to countries such as Australia, New Zealand, the UK and Canada.

The longest section, testing verbal and written communication including fluency, pronunciation, grammar and vocabulary.
Assesses comprehension of academic and general texts, testing your ability to locate information, understand structure and fill gaps.

Scores are generated using AI and human expertise for unbiased, accurate results. Your Score Report can be shared free of charge with any institution that accepts PTE Academic.

The PTE Academic score you need depends on your destination and purpose — university admission, professional registration, or migration. Use this guide to identify your target — then let Dr Ahmed build a personalised plan to reach it.
Most undergraduate programmes worldwide require a PTE Academic score in this range. Exact thresholds vary by university and course — always confirm the specific requirement with your chosen institution.
Postgraduate and competitive programmes generally ask for a higher band than undergraduate entry. Some professional and research-intensive courses may require 79+.
PTE Academic is accepted for Australian and New Zealand skilled migration visas. Higher overall bands (Proficient or Superior English) can unlock additional points in the points-tested system.
Many professional and regulatory bodies accept PTE Academic for registration purposes. Required bands vary significantly by profession and country — confirm with your specific registering authority.
