Here’s a breakdown:
Overall Score
-
The overall score (10–90) reflects your English proficiency across all skills.
-
It’s based on performance in Speaking, Writing, Reading, and Listening — each skill contributes to the overall score.
Skill Scores
You also receive individual scores in:
-
Speaking
-
Writing
-
Reading
-
Listening
These skill scores help identify strengths and weaknesses.
How Scoring Works
-
The test is computer-based and AI-scored, meaning no human raters.
-
Some tasks assess multiple skills at once (e.g., “Read Aloud” tests both reading and speaking).
-
This integrated scoring makes PTE unique compared to IELTS or TOEFL.
Score Equivalency (Approximate)
To give context, here’s how PTE scores roughly align with IELTS bands:
-
86–90 → IELTS 9.0
-
76–85 → IELTS 7.5–8.5
-
59–75 → IELTS 6.5–7.0
-
43–58 → IELTS 5.5–6.0
-
30–42 → IELTS 4.0–5.0
