Students who want to pursue their
studies in English speaking countries must prove their English
proficiency. PTE Academic and IELTS
Academic are English proficiency tests which generally accepted by educational
institutions in countries like Australia, Canada, New Zealand, UK and USA.
Though the objective of both the tests is the same, but the methods of
conducting and evaluating them are distinct. The following tables show score
equivalents of these 2 tests. Before deciding which test to take it is very important
to confirm the exact requirement of the institution in which the candidate is
seeking admission.
We decode for you the differences
between the two
●
IELTS in comparison to PTE is more
recognised and accepted by a greater number of countries and institutions.
●
In the IELTS speaking module, you
will have to speak to an examiner who assesses your English speaking skills while
in PTE you speak in a microphone and the scoring is done by a computer
programme.
●
In IELTS, all the skills are assessed
separately and there are distinct questions to evaluate every skill, but in PTE
multiple skills are assessed through one exercise.
●
In PTE, you will have to give the
entire test in one sitting while in IELTS reading, listening and writing are
conducted in a single sitting and the Speaking test is conducted on another day.
●
IELTS is assessed and scored
manually but PTE is assessed and scored by a software.
●
In IELTS, you don't need to wait
for the previous result to book the exam again wherein in PTE you will have
wait for your previous result to be declared before booking the exam again.
These are few differences between
the two. We hope you are now aware of the differences between IELTS and PTE.
