Note: This score alignment is recommended by PTE Academic.

Automated scoring
We fed thousands of human marks into our system and now find that the standard error measurement between our system and a human rater is less than between one human rater to another. Hear our experts talk about automated scoring via YouTube or view our whitepaper.
