PTE Scoring:

The PTE Academic uses a scoring scale of 10–90 points, with increments of 1 point.

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

Universities typically require PTE 58–65 for undergraduate/graduate admission, and immigration bodies (e.g., Australia) often ask for PTE 65+ depending on the visa type.
