About PTE Academic
PTE Academic is Pearson’s computer-based English test, accepted for Australian and New Zealand visa applications, by universities worldwide and by professional bodies. The test takes about two hours and has three parts: Speaking & Writing, Reading and Listening. You receive an overall score from 10 to 90 plus communicative-skill scores, graded against the Global Scale of English. Pearson typically releases your score report within 48 hours, and no later than five business days.

What to Expect on Your Test Day
Before your test

- Make sure the name, date of birth, gender and country of citizenship on your passport match your booking exactly — you cannot sit the test without your valid passport.
Arrival and check-in
- Arrive at least 30 minutes before your test. Candidates who arrive after their appointment time cannot be admitted and forfeit the test fee.
- At check-in you show your passport, sign in digitally, have a photo taken and scan your palm — this is Pearson’s standard security process at every PTE centre.
- All personal items go into a locker: phones and smart watches (switched off), analogue watches, wallets, keys, jackets, scarves, hats, pen or glasses cases, loose paper, food and drink. You may keep your passport and prescription glasses.
- Your booth has a computer, QWERTY keyboard, headset and an erasable notepad with pencil. Other test takers sit nearby, but the microphones are designed not to pick up their speech.
