They will be ask you to provide evidence supporting your medical claim. Acceptance of evidence is at Pearson’s discretion. Cancellation due to medical reasons may result in a full refund.

How will I get the refund if PTE Voucher is used?

• Cancellation up to 14 days from test

You can just cancel without paying anything. Once the cancellation process is completed, the voucher code can be reused. You can use it later, give it to a friend or return us within 6 months of purchase to get a 70% refund of the amount paid.

• Cancellation less than 14 days, but at least 7 days before the test

You will have to pay 50% of the registration fee at the time of cancellation. The voucher will become reusable again. If you choose to return, you will get 70% of the voucher value which will cover more than the cancellation fees.

• Cancelling the exam less than 7 days

You will have to pay full registration fees at the time of cancellation which might result in your voucher become usable again but it’s advisable not to cancel in these last days. Even in registration made with direct payment, you don’t get any refund. Don’t cancel, try if you can make it to the test. If you could not, you don’t get any refund whether payment was made through a voucher or not.

PTENOTE provides you the highest refund ie. 70%. Other usually provide you with 50% of the voucher amount which does not even cover the cancellation fees so instead of getting a refund, you end up paying more.
