About PTE (Pearson Test of English)

The Pearson Test of English (PTE) is a globally accepted, computer-based English language proficiency test developed to assess the real-life English skills of non-native speakers. Unlike traditional exams, PTE emphasizes practical, day-to-day usage of the English language—evaluating how well you can communicate in academic and professional environments.

Whether you are planning to study abroad, apply for a visa, or explore international career opportunities, PTE is one of the most efficient and widely accepted English language assessments available today.

PTE is conducted in over 150 countries, making it accessible to candidates almost anywhere in the world. The test can be scheduled at your convenience, with frequent availability of slots and quick results—usually within 48 hours. This flexibility has made PTE a preferred choice among students, professionals, and migrants alike.

Key Features of the PTE Exam
