PTE Academic assesses the four skills of speaking, writing, reading and listening. The score provided is based on the GSE (Global Scale of English), which is the first truly global English language standard. It allows teachers and assessors to accurately and easily measure language learner’s progress.

The minimum score in PTE is 10 and the maximum is 90.

The Australian Department of Home Affairs (DOHA) accepts scores from the Pearson Test of English Academic (PTE) for purposes of applying for Student Visa, General Skilled Migration and Permanent Employment Sponsored Visa.
