Pearson PTE Score Policies - Retake policy

You can book your next test as soon as the Score Report from your last test is available. Please do not create a new account in order to bypass the wait as this can cause further delays.

You can book a test date five days after your previous attempt.

You can only book one test at a time.

Your new appointment must be within six months

You can take the test as many times as you wish.

Pearson PTE Score Policies - Requesting a re score

PTE Academic is a computer-scored test; therefore, it is unlikely that your overall scores will change.
Only spoken responses and open-ended written responses are re scored.
In the unlikely event that your score changes, it may go up or down. If either your overall, communicative, or enabling skills scores change, the re score fee will be fully refunded.
If your score changes, it will replace your previous score and your original Score Report will be reissued to reflect the new score.
You can only request a re score once per test registration.
You may only request a re score of your most recent PTE Academic test.
You cannot request a re score if you have already scheduled another test.
To request a re score, you must call our Customer Services team within 14 calendar days of your Score Report being made available to you. The fee for re scores is available from this team. The phone number can be found at pearsonpte.com/contact-us/ under "Retake or request a re score".
