PTE Score Report Explained


Let’s break it down so you don’t feel like you’re reading hieroglyphics.


Your PTE score report includes:


Overall Score (10–90 scale)


  • This is your overall English proficiency score.

  • It is not an average of your communicative skills but is based on your performance across all sections.


Communicative Skills:


  • Listening

  • Reading

  • Speaking

  • Writing


Each is scored from 10 to 90, and they’re assessed independently.


Enabling Skills:


  • Grammar

  • Oral fluency

  • Pronunciation

  • Spelling

  • Vocabulary

  • Written discourse


These scores support the communicative skills but don’t appear on every version of the report.


How to Download and Share Your PTE Score Report?


You’ve got the score—but now you need to download it and maybe share it with universities or visa offices.


Here’s how:


To Download:


  1. Log in to your myPTE account

  2. Navigate to the ‘My Activity’ section

  3. Click on your test and select ‘View Score Report’

  4. Choose ‘Download PDF’


To Share with Institutions:


  • Use the PTE Score Report Code or select institutions directly through the myPTE portal.

  • No need to email universities—PTE sends scores directly, safely and securely!


PTE Result Validity


One of the most frequent questions we hear is:
“How long are PTE results valid?” Let’s answer that and more.


How Long Are PTE Scores Valid?


PTE Academic scores are valid for 2 years from the date of your exam.


That means if you took your test on September 9, 2025, your score is valid until September 9, 2027.


Using PTE Results for Study Abroad and Visa Applications


  • Universities: Most institutions accept PTE results as long as they’re within the 2-year validity window.

  • Australia Immigration: PTE scores are valid for 3 years for visa applications.

  • UK, Canada, NZ: Generally accept PTE for 2 years, but always double-check the latest immigration rules.




Re-evaluation and Common Issues in PTE Exam Results


Sometimes things don’t go as expected. Whether it's a technical glitch or a score you didn’t see coming—don’t panic.


Common Issues:


  • Delay in score report availability

  • Account login problems

  • Discrepancies in results


Re-Evaluation (Score Review):


  • You can request a rescore of your Speaking and Writing sections.

  • Must be done within 14 calendar days of receiving your scores.

  • However, once you’ve booked another test, you become ineligible for a rescore.


Note: Only a very small percentage of scores actually change after re-evaluation.
