Frequently asked questions
Can I sit the exam at the school?
Yes. We're an official Pearson examination centre, so you prepare and sit the exam in the same place, with the same team that has been coaching you.
PTE Academic or PTE Academic UKVI?
It depends on where you're going: for university or work outside the UK, PTE Academic. If your process is a UK visa, you need the UKVI version or the PTE UK Visa Test. We confirm which one before you pay for anything.
How long until I'm ready?
It depends on your starting level and the score you need. We start with a free level test and give you a realistic timeline, not an empty promise.
