About the exam
What is PTE Academic?
PTE Academic (Pearson Test of English Academic) is a fully computer-based English language test for non-native speakers who want to study abroad or migrate. Accepted by thousands of universities and immigration bodies across 50+ countries — including Australia, the UK, USA, Canada, New Zealand, and Ireland.
Unlike traditional exams, PTE uses AI-driven scoring — no human examiner bias, no long waits. From August 2025, a hybrid AI + human model also reviews select tasks for content accuracy.
