Start preparing for PTESee what test takers have to say
PTE Academic has made it possible for me to study at one of the top universities in Australia. Its rapid delivery of the test result saved me time. Honestly, I would highly recommend PTE Academic.
As an introvert, I feel that the speaking test on a computer helped me to be more focused and less nervous. PTE more accurately reflects my speaking ability in English.
I chose PTE because I heard from many friends that PTE uses computer-based testing, which is something I am comfortable with. The PTE result is also quicker than any other English test accepted in Australia.
