The PTE stands for Pearson Test of English. It is the first computer-based English language test that assesses your English capabilities and is accepted by thousands of educational institutions around the world. This test is used as an admission criterion by the universities abroad for non-native students and aspirants. The PTE is also used for immigration in some countries like Australia and New Zealand.
This three-hour-long test focuses on daily usage rather than a high level of the language to make ready and evaluate students to live and study in the English- speaking countries. It includes multi-level grading system to ensure a better understanding of the student’s proficiency in the language.
PTE is better than the other English language proficiency tests because of the scoring methods and the results. PTE is a recognised test which is quite convenient and fair. It is more practical and less stressful. This makes PTE test likeable among the students.
