About The PTE Test In Pakistan
PTE is an English test to measure English language proficiency for Pakistanis who want to study or immigrate to another country.
It is widely accepted by universities and institutions around the world, notably in Canada, the USA, the UK, Australia, and New Zealand. So, Pakistanis with a high PTE score can gain an advantage if they want to move to these countries.
Each PTE Academic exam will cover three major parts: Speaking & Writing, Reading, and finally, Listening. The overall score is reported on the Global Scale of English, ranging from 10 to 90 points.
Fortunately, the required minimum PTE score in most educational institutions in Pakistan is not too high. Some places you can consider are the Institute of Career Development, Zawiya Academy, or the London School of Management and Technology.
