How to Check PTE Results?
To check your PTE Academic result, follow these simple steps:
- Visit the Official PTE Website: Open your web browser and go to the official Pearson PTE website. You can easily find it by searching for ‘PTE Pearson’ in your preferred search engine.
- Navigate to the Results Section: Look for a section on the website specifically dedicated to checking PTE results. This section might be labelled ‘Check Results’, ‘View Score Report’, or similar. Usually, it's located in the top menu bar or in the main navigation menu.
- Log in to Your Pearson Account: To access your PTE scores, you'll likely need to log in to your Pearson account. If you don't have an account already, there should be an option to create one. Make sure to provide the required information accurately during the registration process.
- Access Your Score Report: After logging in, you'll be directed to a page to view your PTE scores. This page may prompt you to enter your PTE identification number or other relevant details to retrieve your score report.
- Review Your Scores: Once you've entered the necessary information, your PTE score report should be displayed on the screen. Take your time to carefully review each section of your scores.
- Download or Print Your Score Report: You can download or print your PTE score report for your records. The website should have options for this. It's a good idea to keep a copy for future reference.
PTE Result Details
The PTE Academic result provides you with the following information:
- PTE Overall Score: This is a big number (out of 100) that reflects your overall English proficiency across all areas: Speaking, Writing, Reading, and Listening.
- Individual Section Scores: You'll also see separate scores (out of 30 points each) for your performance in these four skill areas. This helps you identify your strengths and areas for improvement.
- Test Date: This confirms the date you took the PTE test.
- Test Taker Info: This section includes your name, test registration number, and possibly your birthdate for identification purposes.
- Test Center Info: (This is for regular PTE test centres; it is not applicable for Home Edition.) This details the location where you took the test.
- Applicant Details: Your details and photo
How to Share PTE Academic Results with Universities
The process of sending PTE scores is straightforward and can be done through your PTE account on the official Pearson website.
To send your PTE Academic score to universities or colleges of your choice, follow these steps:
- Log in to your PTE academic account.
- Click on 'View Score Reports.'
- Select the 'Send Scores' option.
- Type the name of the university/college and click on the Search button.
- When the university/college's name appears, tick the box next to it.
- Review your details, click 'Next,' then confirm the information and share the score.
You can share your PTE results with multiple universities, typically for a limited number of institutions, without an additional cost.
Exceeding this limit might result in a fee. For the latest information on score-sharing fees, check your PTE account or the Pearson website.
PTE Result Rechecking
If you're unhappy with your score, you can request a recheck or rescore of your PTE results. However, it's important to know a few things:
- Limited Recheck Scope: While you can request a recheck, it's only applicable to the Speaking and Writing sections. The computer scores the Reading and Listening sections, and these scores are very unlikely to change upon recheck.
- Not Guaranteed to Change: PTE is a computer-scored test, so the score may not change after a recheck. The rechecking process identifies potential errors in scoring your spoken and written responses.
- Fee Involved: In 2024, a recheck in India typically costs around ₹4,133 (approx. $52). This fee is not refundable even if your score remains unchanged after the recheck.
- Test Retake Option: The text incorrectly states that the test fee is non-refundable. You would only need to retake the entire test at your own expense to improve scores in the Reading or Listening sections, which cannot be rechecked.
To request a rechecking, you must contact Pearson Customer Service within 14 days of the declaration of the PTE academic result.
