We have great news for those of you who couldn’t take the PTE Academic test due to the pandemic and travel restrictions. Pearson has recently launched PTE Academic Online!
But what is this online version, and where does it stand when compared to the regular PTE Academic? Let’s find out!
What is PTE Academic Online?
PTE Academic Online is the same PTE Academic exam you would normally take at a certified testing centre. There are no differences regarding the test format, types of questions, difficulty, scoring, etc.
You can take PTE Academic Online from anywhere* you want as long as you have an internet connection, a wired headset, a webcam, and a space free of noise and distractions.
The main differences between PTE Academic Online and PTE Academic are:PTE Academic is a computer-based English test that assesses your academic-level speaking, writing, reading and listening skills.
You take the test in a small, friendly test center environment in just two hours.Choose PTE Academic if you plan to study at a university globally and need to prove your English level, or if you are applying for a work or migration visa for Australia or New Zealand. Take our ‘UKVI’ route if you wish to work or study below degree level in the UK.
PTE Academic is also recognized by the U.S state Boards of Nursing for work visas.
- At the time of writing this article, PTE Academic Online cannot be used for visa or migration purposes.
- Institutions that accept PTE Academic don’t necessarily accept PTE Academic Online. You need to check if your university or college does. The list of higher education institutions (HEI) that do is constantly growing.
* Right now, candidates cannot take PTE Academic Online in Iran or Cuba. In China, the test will only start rolling out in 2022.
Online Format
PTE Academic Online follows the same format as the regular PTE Academic test. We’re talking, of course, about the new format launched on November 16th, 2021, which shortened the test to 2 hours instead of 3:
- Speaking and Writing: 54–67 minutes
- Reading: 29–30 minutes
- Listening: 30–43 minutes
