PTE Academic gives us a powerful tool for ensuring that the international students we admit are able to express themselves easily in spoken and written English so that they can take full advantage of the world-class academic experience that Yale provides.
As an accurate measure of ability to study in an academic environment where English is the primary language of instruction, PTE Academic will be an important tool in our admissions process for international students.
It is important to be able to rely on a robust test that takes away the risk of assessor subjectivity. We particularly like the automated scoring system and are pleased to recognize PTE Academic.
It was a great experience because the test is more applicable to real life English communication rather than other English tests.
I took PTE Academic because compared to other tests, it is more affordable with faster results. Also, since it is a computer-based exam, it has no potential for examiner bias which removed all my worries related to my accent.
PTE is a highly recommended test as it can be finished within a few hours in one sitting and the result is released sooner than expected. Grateful of the Pearson for having this option available and convenient to test takers.
As an introvert, I feel less nervous about taking the speaking test on a computer, so PTE Academic accurately reflects my speaking ability in English. It is also less time-consuming as compared to other tests.
This test is excellent and very objective. It's fantastic how the computer program was built to test the English language of people with different nationalities and accents.
