The Pearson PLC Group conducts the Pearson Test of English (PTE Academic) every month throughout the year in various locations across the globe. The specific exam dates in a month depend entirely on the exam centre and slot availability. In most cases, the PTE exam takes place every day, barring public or national holidays and Sundays.
In India, there are over 30 test centres throughout 10 states where the PTE exam takes place regularly. The exam dates for all the locations have been released for each month of 2023 already.

You must have a Pearson account if you wish to book a test date for your preferred location for the PTE Exam.
Appearing for any exam can be stressful. So, these important tips will help you get through the exam day.
These tips are bound to help you avoid any hassle during your PTE exam ad increase your chances of scoring well. Best of luck!
Fill in your details and we'll call you back!
To register for the PTE Academic exam, you must create your myPTE account on the official Pearson website. Once that’s complete, click on ‘Book a test,’ fill out the necessary details, choose your preferred test date and time according to your location, and pay the test fees.
The minimum age requirement to appear for the PTE Academic test is 16. So, if you want to apply to a college or university for study abroad, it's best to avoid dilly-dallying. Start your preparations early to appear for the exam at 16, and try again within a year if you don't do well.
If you’re unable to appear for the PTE exam on your chosen date, you can always reschedule it.
The PTE Academic test scores are valid for two years from the date of publication of results. However, the scores for the PTE General and PTE Young Learners are valid for life.
If you’re not satisfied with your PTE score, you can follow these tips to improve your results:
Solve mock tests regularly to familiarise yourself with the test pattern.
You can appear for the PTE exam multiple times. Since you must wait until the publication of results to apply again, you can register for the exam within 3-5 days. However, experts recommend taking the time to prepare well and appear for the exam when you're more confident.
The current fee for the PTE exam in India is INR 15,900. The breakdown of the price is as follows:
You must complete the payment in full when booking the test to confirm your registration.
One month is quite less to prepare for the PTE exam adequately. After all, you must cover four vital skills – reading, speaking, listening, and writing. But if you focus only on your PTE preparation for a month, there's a good chance you'll score well.
