How PTE score conversion works
PTE Academic reports an overall score and separate Listening, Reading, Speaking and Writing scores from 10 to 90. The overall score is based on performance across the test and is not the average of the four skill scores. Pearson’s concordance gives a different PTE range for each IELTS Academic band and each skill, so this calculator converts every field separately.

PTE score calculator FAQ
Is PTE 65 equal to IELTS 7?
Pearson’s July 2025 overall concordance places PTE 63–70 alongside IELTS Academic 7.0, so an overall PTE score of 65 falls inside that approximate range. Skill-score ranges are different.
Is the PTE overall score an average of four skills?
No. Pearson states that the overall score is based on performance across the entire test and is not an average of Listening, Reading, Speaking and Writing.
Why does the test date change Australian target scores?
Australia changed its approved English tests and score thresholds on 7 August 2025. Results from tests taken earlier may remain usable for a limited period depending on the visa subclass.
Does meeting the score mean I qualify for a visa?
No. This checker compares only the published score numbers. Visa eligibility can also depend on the visa subclass, score validity period, passport, exemptions and other requirements.
