Enabling Success
As a non-native speaker of English interested in a graduate management degree, it is likely that the school of your choice will ask you to demonstrate not only your academic ability, but also your English language skills. This means you will have to take an English assessment.
Endorsed and preferred by GMAT owner mba.com, the Pearson Test of English Academic (PTE Academic) is a new computer-based academic English language test designed for students who need to prove their English language ability. PTE Academic is widely accepted and respected by institutions worldwide as part of their admissions criteria; it is also accepted by the UK Border Agency.
Your Advantage
There are a number of factors to consider when determining which language test to choose to fulfill your language requirement. PTE Academic offers you many advantages:
Convenience
Many tests are offered at set times and available seats often fill up quickly. With PTE Academic you can schedule your test online for a date and time that suits you and conveniently take the entire test in a single three-hour session.
Rapid results
Another very important consideration is how long it takes to receive your scores—you want to make sure that you meet all your application deadlines. PTE Academic scores are available online, typically within five business days.
Options
With PTE Academic, you can view your scores first and then decide which institutions should receive them—you can send as many score reports as you like for no additional fee. Furthermore, for an overall faster admissions process, the institutions you select will be able to access your scores online within 48 hours of your selection.
Confidence
PTE Academic provides an accurate reflection of your English language ability. It measures not only your English proficiency in Listening, Reading, Speaking, and Writing, but also gives you comprehensive feedback on enabling skills such as grammar, oral fluency, and pronunciation so that you can better understand your strengths and weaknesses.
Preparation
You’ll have access to authentic test-preparation materials so that you can be confident on your test day. These include:
• a free, unscored, online practice test with sample answers
• a free test tutorial helping you to navigate the test
• The Official Guide to PTE Academic ($41.25)
• a Skills Pod giving you access to over 90 recommended resources
