The Pearson Test of English (PTE) is a standardized test designed to measure the English proficiency of non-native English speakers. It is used for academic and professional purposes, including admission to universities and colleges in English-speaking countries, such as the United States.

The PTE test measures the four language skills of speaking, writing, reading, and listening, and is designed to test the ability to use English in a real-life academic setting. The test is conducted in a computer-based format, and is comprised of multiple-choice questions, essays, and oral responses.

Scores on the PTE range from 10 to 90, with 90 being the highest possible score. The minimum scores required for admission to universities and colleges or for visas vary depending on the institution or immigration authorities, but a score of 50-60 is generally considered sufficient for admission to most undergraduate programs in the US or for visa purposes.

It is important to check with the specific academic institution or immigration authorities to determine their PTE score requirements and to plan accordingly, as PTE scores are typically used as part of the admission or visa process.
