PTE Accepted Countries: Which Countries Accept PTE?

Dreaming of studying or working abroad is a goal many share. One key step to making this dream real is to get good marks on an English skills test if you’re going to an English-speaking land. Tests like IELTS, PTE, and TOEFL are well-known for gauging your language skills. Before you start, be sure that your picked spot accepts the test you aim to take.

This blog shares information on the countries and universities that accept PTE scores. So, if you’re appearing for the PTE, read until the end.

What is the PTE?

The Pearson Test of English, or PTE, is a relatively new exam. It was established in 2009 and has gained immense popularity since then.

It checks English skills in four key areas:

  • Listening
  • Reading
  • Speaking
  • Writing

PTE is known for its quick results, which typically take merely 48 hours. Also, since it’s a computer-based test that commences in a small, friendly test centre environment, it relieves the aspirants of the usual tension of taking an exam. There are around 475+ test centres worldwide, so you can enrol for the nearest one.

List of PTE Accepted Countries

As of 2024, PTE is recognised in 73 nations. At least 3500 universities are acknowledging the scores. This wide acceptance of PTE means that your scores can help you get into top schools, obtain visas, and meet professional requirements. Below, we’ll look at some key nations that take PTE scores and show their specific needs.

My experience with englishwise is a great one. I did manage to get my desired score within few weeks time. My trainer... Himzy was very professional and her tricks worked really well to achieve my target score. I feel really comfortable to work with her and she responded to my quarries within second and that was the best thing about her. Even my wife wonder how much effect she put into her job and we never expected that kind of support when we join englishwise. The portal is regularly updated and has got all the tools you required to crack your PTE. Highly recommended this provider.read more

I paid for one month 250 dollars, I had an emergency with my family, I sent and email request my course cancellation,... they refused. I check the prices and for 250 dollar you have 6 months for use the platform, I ask to them because I paid 250 just for one month. I used the platform, I tried to be in class and I was connected with many people and waiting for the teacher more than 15 min. I didn’t get any class with teacher! Any class!! Any feedback …They send me an email and they told me I can access for 6 months to the platform because I paid 250 after one month the close the platform I asked them and they said it was the deal. I wasted money and time and I had an terrible experience and stressful. I could paid this money in a better place o paying my test.Please don’t get agreement with this people!!!Don’t waste your money and time. Awful experience!read more
