  • PTE General: A broader test to demonstrate English language ability for general purposes.
  • PTE UKVI: For UK visa and immigration purposes.
• Computer-Based: PTE is completely computer-based, including speaking, which is recorded and assessed by AI.
• Fast Results: You usually receive your results within 48 hours.
• Accepted Globally: It’s widely recognized by universities, employers, and governments, especially in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the UK, and the USA.
