PTE Academic and PTE Core are two versions of the same Pearson test. Academic measures English for study and skilled migration and is accepted worldwide; Core measures everyday English and is accepted only by Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada for work and permanent residence. Both are scored 10 to 90 by the same AI, take about two hours and share most tasks. If you are applying to a university anywhere, or for a visa to Australia, New Zealand or the UK, you need PTE Academic. If you are applying for Canadian PR or a Canadian work permit, you need PTE Core.<\/p>\n

While both tests serve distinct purposes, it\u2019s crucial to understand their differences to determine which one aligns better with your goals.<\/span><\/p>\n
