Pearson Test of English Academic
Hi,
Well generally for the visa to be approved, the demand is to get a sectional marks in all speaking, reading, writing and listening. So if you have cleared that cut off for all sections then it's okay otherwise it will be better to give the test again to make sure to get the visa approved.
I hope this helps.
All the best.
Hello Gurpreet, I hope you're in the best of your health.
First of all, the basic requirement for going abroad for studies or work to any English speaking country, like Australia, is your English proficiency. You must be able to read, write, speak and understand English very well in order to make your way abroad.
Talking about PTE, it is the world's leading computer-based English language test for study abroad and immigration. This three hour-long computer-based test lays emphasis on testing your day-to-day english rather than focusing on high or expert level english. The main motive behind this is to ensure that the applicant must be able to understand daily-life conversations and should not face problems because of the language. Being a multi-grading test, it makes sure better understanding of the students proficiency in English.
The managing body has not issued any specific eligibility criteria to appear for PTE but a general rule exists, which says that the applicant must be at least 16 years old while applying for the test. As for the candidates below the age of 18 must posses a parental consent for appearing in PTE. The test, like any other English language test, focuses on three or to be precise, four major sections namely, reading, listening, speaking and writing.
The certificate that you secure after the completion of the test is valid for two years. You have to bear a cost of Rs.13,300 to book your test. Lastly, you must secure at least 50 points, which is equivalent to a band score of 6 in IELTS or 74-75 points of TOEFl.
I hope my answer helps you with your query. Looking forward to answer more of it.

Hey Mohit

There is no cutoff marks in PTE but there is a desired score above which universities prefer students for admission. And that desired score is around 55-60 since past years, and with 65+ you get higher points in your application. With 49 score, chances of acceptance are less but not nil, so you may apply to universities where acceptance on low score is valid.
For further doubts, ask us. For more information; PTE 2020
