Students who wish to take their studies abroad are faced with a lot of options when it comes to immigration laws and the actual university or college admission process. One of the requirements is the test for English to prove the learner’s proficiency abilities. There are many tests dedicated to testing English proficiency such as International English Language Testing System (IELTS), Test of English as Foreign Language (TOEFL) and Pearson Test of English Academic (PTE- A). The main decision would be to decide which test to take.

There is a lot to consider before deciding on the appropriate test to take. Some of those reasons include:

• How long is the test results available?
• The examination price?
• The minimum test score requirements
• If your application for your first choice university is declined can you apply elsewhere with the same English certificate?
• The immigration/visa requirements.

Judging from the above-mentioned list it is clear that the decision to choose the appropriate English language test should not be taken lightly. This article will help the decision-making process easier for you.

As mentioned above there are three tests of which you have to select one for your study requirements. PTE Academics has proved to be the best test for students’ needs and this article will help you understand why you should take this test.

Prices

The decision to study abroad can be financially straining and every dime saved counts a lot. So let’s compare the prices of the three tests. PTE Academics test registration costs INR 13,300 while IELTS is INR 13,250 and finally TOEFL costs INR 12650. You are probably wondering why I would advise you to choose PTE Academic when it is more costly compared to the other test. If you purchase your PTE Academics voucher with PTENOTE, it will only cost you INR 12, 222 which is cheaper compared to other tests. PTENOTE price includes your examination registration fee and study material to help you prepare for the test. This is a bargain.

Choice of institution

For your application process, it is advisable to note which test is accepted by your institution of choice. PTE Academics is accepted widely by many institutions in Australia, New Zealand, Canada, the United State of America, United Kingdom and many more. This puts your mind at ease in case you are not accepted in one university in a certain country or you simply have a change of heart about where you want to take your studies.

Student Visa application

Another hassle that comes with studying abroad is the student visa application. It is advisable to apply to a country where you will only need one English test certificate to save you time and money. With PTE Academics you don’t have to worry about that because the certificate is accepted in the United Kingdom, Australia, Canada and New Zealand for Visa applications. Deciding to study in one of these countries, PTE Academics is definitely your best option.

Time to get your results

Time is money and if you miss an application date whether it is visa applications or study application you may have to wait another year to start the whole process. Really who would want to waste that much time, money and energy when you can get your PTE Academic score in 5 days? Yes, with PTE Academics you get your score after 5 working days of taking the test while other tests take about 2 weeks to publish the results. To get all your students’ admission requirements processed on time PTE Academics is the best option to avoid forfeiting your place at the institution.

Test format

PTE Academics uses artificial intelligence software which means your test and score are free from human defects. The other tests, however, have human interference and interaction at one stage of the test or during score preparation. Yes, they might be professionals but even the best of the best can make the mistake of failing you. Imagine if your test score is dependent on your ethnicity, first-time impression or your general persona. These are the things to think about because at the end of the day no matter how professional one may be, there is still human nature that may sway your test score fate. With PTE Academics, however, your mind is put at ease knowing that the computer handles everything with regards to your test.

Accidents happen

You may have planned everything and done things right but unforeseen circumstances may prevent you from taking your studies at a certain time. PTE Academics are very flexible when it comes to cancellation and changing test dates. Other tests you need a medical certificate to cancel your test. What if your emergency wasn’t medical? Then you have lost a big chunk of money because you will not get a refunded on your examination fee. With PTE Academics, however, you can cancel anytime and you will get your refund no question asked. Moreover, when you purchase your PTE Academic voucher from PTENOTE we will refund you fully if there is a problem with the voucher and we will also do partial refund in case you don’t want to use the voucher anymore.

Test dates and bookings

In everything, time is of the essence and PTE Academic is adamant to save you time. IELTS and TOEFL examination dates are not as flexible as compared to PTE Academics. With cancellation and other unforeseen circumstances in mind, it is better to consider a test that offers you flexibility in your booking dates and PTE Academics offers you a choice to cancel and re-book your test session where never you feel like it. The test dates for the other tests are somewhat fixed therefore missing a test date is will not be ideal.

Tests preparation

While all the tests provide study materials, Pearson has taken it a step further by providing online mock tests for better preparation. This mock comes with a scoring option which helps you to gauge your progress in your preparation. Practicing the mock test helps the test taker to get accustomed to the test format and gain real experience of PTE Academics. This helps boost confidence and also increases a chance to score high during the actual test.
