Free PTE score tools

Which tool do you need?

Start with the question you are trying to answer. If you are not sure what score you need, find your route in the thresholds table or the requirements map first, then check your own scores against it.

What each group of tools does

Convert between PTE and IELTS

The PTE to IELTS converter, IELTS to PTE converter, PTE score chart and the 30 to 90 PTE score pagesall read from one table: Pearson's July 2025 summary of its PTE Academic and IELTS Academic concordance study, which covered 1,522 test takers. Use them to set a target when a university or agent quotes IELTS, or to see what a PTE result is roughly worth in IELTS terms. Pearson says concordance is an approximation and that the two tests are not the same, so treat the result as a planning figure. A visa or university rule always uses its own published number, not our conversion. For one worked case, see IELTS 5.5 in PTE.

Check scores against a visa level

The Australia checker and the score calculator take your four skill scores and show which Department of Home Affairs English levels you meet, Competent, Proficient or Superior, for tests taken before or after 7 August 2025. The thresholds table goes wider: it lists the published PTE figures for Australia, New Zealand, the UK and Canada, with the official page and checked date for every row, and you can download it as a CSV. For the route-by-route explanation behind each number, use the score requirements map.

Practise and track

The free mock testruns four short timed sections in Pearson's order with original items, and gives raw counts from our own marking rules rather than a PTE score. The practice PDF has printable reading tasks and a sample paper, each with an answer key; listening and speaking need audio, so practise those in the practice hub. Whatever you practise, My practice progress collects your results by skill and question type, points to your weakest tasks and explains how each score is worked out. It is stored only in your browser, so clearing site data clears it.

Questions the tools answer

• "What is PTE 65 in IELTS?" The converter and chart give the overall band and each skill separately, because a skill score can sit in a different band from the overall.
• "Do I meet Competent, Proficient or Superior English?" The Australia checker and the calculator test every skill against the Home Affairs figure, since each skill must reach its own number.
• "What PTE score does my visa need?" The thresholds table and the requirements map point to the official figure and the guide for your route, such as the UK student visa, New Zealand work and residence or Canada study permit guides.
• "Which skill should I work on?" Your progress page shows your practice results by skill and task type and points to your weakest tasks, so you know what to practise next.
• "How long is my result valid, and which test do I book?" Those are guide questions, not tool questions: see PTE score validity and PTE Academic vs Core vs UKVI.

Where the numbers come from

The IELTS conversions use Pearson's July 2025 concordance summary (table checked 2026-10-09). Australian levels come from the Department of Home Affairs English language pages. UK, New Zealand and Canadian figures come from gov.uk and Pearson's UK visa table, Immigration New Zealand and IRCC, as recorded on each guide with its checked date. If a figure cannot be confirmed from an official page, we leave it out. See our methodology for how we check and date things.

Limits worth knowing: the converters cover PTE Academic only, not PTE Core, whose Canadian scores follow IRCC tables on the Canada guide; universities set their own entry scores, so a visa figure is a floor and not a target; and visa rules change, so confirm on the official page before you book or apply.
