Save Time

“One of the standout features of PTE Core is its efficiency. The entire test takes less than two hours! So, no more frying brains for up to three hours.”

You can complete PTE Core in just two hours, in one sitting, with a single trip to a test center. You’ll take the test on a computer, and you won’t have to interact with a human examiner during your test, reducing the risk of human bias.

With frequent test dates, PTE Core provides the flexibility to book a time that works with your schedule.

Beyond offering an efficient test experience, PTE Core prioritizes getting your results to you quickly. With PTE Core, you will receive test results within 48 hours of taking your test, allowing you to pursue your immigration goals swiftly.

When it comes to maximizing your language test score, preparation is key! PTE Core recognizes this and provides a wide range of preparatory materials, guiding you every step of the way in preparing for your test.

The first step in preparation is knowing what to expect. The PTE Core test contains three key sections:

  • Reading (approximately 30 minutes); and
  • Listening (approximately 30 minutes).

PTE offers free resources, including an online taster test with instant feedback, test tips, and an online course with expert advice and sample answers to every question type. These preparatory materials can help you prepare for the specificities of each section and ensure you are prepared and confident on test day.

Hit Your Goal Score

“English isn’t our first language but with the help of PTE Core, I achieved my dream score. The PTE Core test was straightforward and incredibly user-friendly. The format is clear, the questions are practical.”

- June Jorie Barlis

About PTE Core

PTE Core is a general English test for immigration and citizenship applications and is approved and accepted by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) for economic immigration programs including:

  • Express Entry programs;
  • Permanent residency (PR); and
  • Citizenship.

PTE Core became available in Canada earlier this year. Currently, it has over 25 test centers in cities across Canada, including Vancouver, Surrey, Toronto, Hamilton, London, Ottawa, Halifax, and Montreal.

Tests are scored on a scale of 0-90, with 90 being the highest score. A Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB) 9, for example, corresponds to a PTE score in the range of 82-88 for listening, 78-87 for reading, 84-88 in speaking, and 88-89 in writing.

Don’t wait, let PTE Core help you on the next step to achieving your Canadian dream.
