Testimonials

PTE Academic made it easy for me to achieve my dream of registering as a nurse. The format of the test, though challenging, is very achievable if one does a lot of practice. I will encourage anyone to take PTE Academic. I also think that the tasks are straightforward and easy to understand.

I'm going to take my postgraduate studies in Australia and I'm very happy because PTE Academic is recognized by all Australian universities. The scored practice test in the Pearson website was extremely helpful during my review. During the day of my exam, the examiners were very professional and strict with the rules. I received my test results after 24 hours. PTE Academic exam is indeed the "fast and fair English test."

PTE is more practical and less stressful than many other English language tests. It helped me confirm my scholarship and gained admission to my dream University. Without PTE, I would have forfeit these life opportunities. It is really an updated test.

PTE Academic accurately reflects an individual's ability to communicate in standard English. I would prefer this exam to other available tests as it removes the elements of human bias in scoring. Unlike other English proficiency exams, PTE Academic is less time-consuming when it comes to exam preparation and score card report fulfillment.

PTE Academic test format makes it possible to improve scores in all the sections with practice. There is a positive correlation between hours spent on practice material and the score. I found the option to take scored practice tests highly valuable.

Sailed through the assessment experience without a glitch. Every step right from online test enrollment to on-spot registration at the test center is easy and fast. Test center logistics and arrangements are pretty convenient too and the best part is the rapid availability of test score. The preparation materials available on the official website are very effective too.
