PTE stands for the Pearson Test of English. It’s an English language proficiency test accepted by many universities and immigration authorities worldwide, similar to the IELTS (International English Language Testing System).
Frankly speaking, neither PTE nor IELTS is inherently easier than the other. Both assess the same core skills: listening, reading, speaking, and writing.
However, they differ in format and delivery, knowing which can help you choose the right test:
PTE – Entirely computer-based, featuring shorter tasks with an adaptive format that adjusts difficulty based on your performance.
IELTS – Offers both computer-based and paper-based options, with distinct sections for each skill and a fixed set of tasks.
