Enquire to study in the UK 
Apart from passports and visas, there is another crucial element when preparing to study abroad: your English proficiency test. English is used across the globe, granting you access to new careers, experiences, and endless possibilities. Popular study destinations like Australia and the UK require proof of your English proficiency for admission into colleges and universities, and for your visa application.
All it takes to get closer to your dreams of studying overseas is a score confirming your English ability. Enter the Pearson Test of English (PTE) Academic test, easily the most convenient and stress-free English test recognised worldwide.
The innovative two-hour English test, accepted worldwide
It is stress-free! PTE Academic is changing English language testing and is one of the world’s leading – and most innovative – tests of language skills. It was the first completely computer-based English test in the world and it has now been improved to make testing even shorter – only two hours! The same English skills are assessed with no compromise on accuracy and validity. “I took the PTE Academic test to complete my nursing registration in Australia,” says Hardeet from India. “I can just focus on the two hours, just go and do it, and I feel more mentally free at the end of the test.”
“I’m going to use my PTE Academic results to apply for my permanent residency visa in Australia. The two-hour test is simple, better and time-saving. Unnecessary parts were taken out, and only important parts stayed, which is good,” says Arava.
You can send your Score Report to unlimited institutions for free.
