What is PTE?

PTE stands for "Pearson Test of English." It's a standardized English language proficiency test designed to assess and measure the English language skills of non-native speakers. PTE is often used for academic and immigration purposes, and it evaluates skills in listening, reading, writing, and speaking through computer-based assessments.

Scoring Pattern

The scoring pattern for the PTE Academic test is designed to assess a candidate's English language proficiency across four skill areas: Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking. Here's an overview of the scoring pattern:

1. Each Skill Score: Each of the four skills (Listening, Reading, Writing, and Speaking) is scored on a scale of 10 to 90 points. These individual skill scores reflect your performance in each specific area.

2. Overall Score: To calculate the overall PTE Academic score, the scores for each skill are averaged. This average score is what institutions and organizations typically use to assess your English proficiency.

3. Interpretation: Here's how to interpret the scores:

   - A score of 90 indicates near-native English proficiency.

   - Scores between 65 and 79 are considered proficient.

   - Scores between 50 and 64 represent a moderate level of English proficiency.

   - Scores below 50 indicate limited proficiency.
