What is PTE?
PTE is Pearson Test of English, powered by AI technology, PTE Academic provides a fast and convenient testing solution without human bias.
The test assesses the four skills of speaking, listening, reading, and writing. It lasts approximately 3 hours and provides a score based on the GSE (Global Scale of English). The Global Scale of English (GSE) is the first truly global English language standard, allowing teachers to more accurately and easily measure learner progress. Based on research involving over 6000 teachers from more than 50 countries, it extends the Common European Framework of Reference (CEFR) by pinpointing on a scale from 10 to 90 what needs to be mastered for the four skills of speaking, listening, reading, and writing within a CEFR level, using a more granular approach. Specific GSE resources then help teachers select the right learning objectives, grammar and vocabulary required for their learners to move onto the next level. It's a more effective way of selecting the right lesson, course materials, or assessments at the right time.
PTE Academic scores are accepted by thousands of institutions and approved for all UK, Australian and New Zealand visa and immigration categories. Test sessions can be scheduled up to 24 hours in advance, 365 days a year.
How Is The Test Scored?
All items in PTE Academic are machine-scored using PTE Academic’s automated scoring system. Scores for some item types are based on correctness alone, while others are based on correctness, formal aspects and the quality of the response. Formal aspects refer to the form of the response: for example, whether it is over or under the word limit for a particular item type. The quality of the response is represented in the enabling skills. For example, in the item type Re-tell lecture the response is scored on skills such as oral fluency and pronunciation. There are two types of scoring: correct or incorrect, and partial scoring.
Correct or incorrect: If responses are correct, a score of 1 score point will be given, but if they are incorrect, no score points are awarded.
Partial credit: Other item types are scored as correct, partially correct or incorrect. If responses to these items are correct, the maximum score points available for each item type will be received, but if they are partly correct, some score points will be given, but less than the maximum available for the item type. If responses are incorrect, no score points will be received.
