You can book your test anytime, anywhere provided there is the availability of test dates in your nearest centre. You can even book a test after your results are declared.

What items should I carry on the PTE test date?

The only thing that you need to carry on the PTE test date is an acceptable ID. In most cases, the accepted ID proof is the passport. It is a secured examination so it is very important for you to show a proper identity card for entering the examination hall.

Are all PTE Academic sections conducted on the same day?

Yes, all the PTE Academic sections are conducted on the same day, unlike IELTS whose speaking section is conducted on a separate date. This saves a lot of time for the students who are appearing for the test. One can be relieved of the tension of appearing for the test again on some other day.

But below that, you will be charged 50% of the booking fees and if you reschedule 7 days prior to the examination then 100% of the booking fee will be charged.

Can I take the PTE exam more than once a year?

Yes, the PTE exam can be taken more than once a year. It can be taken as many times as the candidate wants. However, they must wait until they have received the scores for the previous test. After that, they can book the test again if they are not satisfied with the results.

When should I ideally book a PTE exam date?

Ideally, a candidate should book a PTE exam date at least two to three months before the university application deadline. This will ensure that you are not in a hurry. Besides, one should opt for the test only when they are confident with the preparation. This will help them in scoring the cut-off determined by universities.

How to select PTE test dates?
