Is PTE a better English proficiency test option compared to IELTS?

Both PTE and IELTS are widely accepted English proficiency tests, but the better option depends on your preferences and the requirements of your target institutions.

- PTE is fully computer-based, including the speaking section, and results are typically available in 1-2 business days.
- IELTS offers both paper-based and computer-based formats, with a face-to-face speaking section. Results take 3-13 days, depending on the format.
- PTE scores range from 10 - 90; IELTS uses a 0 - 9 band system.
- IELTS has a "One Skill Retake" option, allowing you to retake a single section if needed.

Choose the test format and retake policy that best match your strengths and application needs. If you need help deciding, your LeapScholar counsellor can guide you.
