Pearson PTE Testing is now available in Hamilton at the Vision College Campus.
The Pearson Test of English Academic assesses the ability of non-native English speakers to participate in a university-level English language instruction program. It is a computer-based exam that focuses on real-life English used in academic surroundings. The test takers listen to a variety of accents and academic language that they will encounter at English-speaking higher education institutions.
The exam includes an unmarked voice recording of the candidate, which is part of advanced biometric data that should assist institutions in verifying the identity of candidates and should aid them with their admission decisions. The test is a maximum of 2 hours and 15 minutes long, and takers can expect their results to be delivered to them online within 5 working days.
Test scores are reported on the Global Scale of English, a standardised, numeric scale from 10 to 90 that measures English language proficiency more precisely with reference to the widely known set of levels in the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages.
