Study abroad in English

The most common way to assess your English level is by taking a standardised English test, such as:

  • PTE Academic (Pearson Test of English)
  • TOEFL iBT (Test of English as a Foreign Language)
  • IELTS Academic (International English Language Testing System)
  • C1 Advanced (formerly known as CAE – Cambridge English Advanced)
What makes PTE Academic stand out among these renowned English exams is the use of A.I. (Artificial Intelligence) to correct the answers of tests takers. This ensures that the results are unbiased and offer a 100% objective evaluation. Another great advantage of using A.I. is speed – results are typically available within 2 business days after taking PTE Academic.
