A PTE score is valid for two years from the test date. That is Pearson’s rule, and it is the one printed on your score report. The body you apply to can shorten or extend it: Australian skilled migration accepts a PTE Academic result for three years, the Temporary Graduate visa wants one from the last twelve months, and IRCC, the UK Home Office and Immigration New Zealand all stop at two.<\/p>\n

Most students treat the two-year figure on the report as the whole answer. Take the test, get the report, two years on the clock. Then the visa application opens, and the form asks for a test taken within the last twelve months, or the skilled migration points page quietly accepts a result that is nearly three years old. Same score, three different expiry dates, depending on who is reading it. That gap is where applications get delayed, and it is almost never the English that causes it.<\/p>\n

So this guide puts every validity rule in one place, by purpose, with the date each one is counted from. Check your row, add the months, and you know exactly how long your PTE score is valid for the thing you are actually applying for.<\/p>\n
