PTE Academic Changes

From November 16, PTE Academic and PTE Academic UKVI tests will take just two hours to complete, instead of three hours. There are no changes to the overall format, question types or scoring scale; there will simply be fewer questions to answer. So you can prepare in the same way.

Most importantly, the test is still accepted by all the same universities and professional bodies including 3,000+ academic institutions worldwide and by the UK, Australia and New Zealand governments for visa and immigration purposes.

Note: this change applies to PTE Academic, PTE Academic UKVI and PTE Academic Online. There are no changes to PTE Home.

PTE Academic Online is not recognized for visa and immigration purposes.
