Frequently asked — PTE Academic

PTE Academic vs IELTS for Australia PR — which is easier?

Most Indian candidates find PTE easier to score 79+ for Superior English (20 PR points) because AI scoring favours clear pronunciation and consistent intonation over human-subjective fluency judgements. IELTS speaking depends on the examiner's mood; PTE's AI is consistent. However, PTE's tight timing on Read Aloud and Repeat Sentence can hurt nervous candidates. Take a mock of each to see which suits you.

What is the PTE Academic fee in India?

PTE Academic in India typically costs around ₹17,000 (subject to GST and Pearson revisions). Late booking surcharges may apply if you book within 48 hours of the test date. Always confirm the current fee on the Pearson PTE website before booking.

How fast are PTE Academic results?

PTE results typically arrive within 48 hours of taking the test — sometimes within 24 hours. This is the fastest among major English tests (IELTS takes 5–13 days). The fast turnaround is a major reason candidates with tight visa or admission deadlines choose PTE.

Is PTE Academic SELT-approved for UK visas?

Yes. PTE Academic UKVI is an approved Secure English Language Test (SELT) for the UK Student route and many Skilled Worker visa categories. Make sure you book the UKVI version specifically — the standard PTE Academic does not count as a SELT.
