Which Test would be easier: IELTS or PTE (Pearson Test of English) ?
Hey,
In short, the main difference between IELTS and PTE is that IELTS offers a choice between paper and computer. The PTE test is all computer-based and marked by a machine that can be biased. With IELTS, the speaking part takes the form of a face to face talk with an examiner and with PTE, you speak to the computer.
Neither of the tests is easier than the other, except for the differences in the mode of examination and the pattern. The total time for both exams is 3 hours. The IELTS comprises four sections with comparatively longer tasks, while the PTE comprises numerous short tasks across three sections.
Hope this helps you.
All the best!
Which is easier PTE or IELTS?
Both tests are challenging in their own way. The IELTS Writing section is a little more difficult as it is based on higher literary standards. The IELTS Academic Reading Test may contain more complex texts compared to the General Training Reading Test.
PTE seems a little easier for students because PTE focuses more on the application level and doesn't cover the basics much.
