The Pearson Test of English (PTE) is a standardized English language proficiency test designed to assess the readiness of non-native English speakers to participate in a university-level English language instruction program. It is widely accepted by universities, colleges, and governments around the world as a measure of English language proficiency.
The PTE Academic is divided into three main parts:
