A multi-layered approach to security
Why are our test scores trusted globally?
PTE Academic is one of the most secure English tests in the world. We take extra care to reduce the risk of cheating and gamification to ensure the end result is an accurate representation of a test taker's ability. This is why governments, institutions, companies and test takers trust in our scores.
Paperless testing
From registration through to delivery of results, PTE Academic is the only fully computerized English test. This eliminates the chance of exam papers being copied, stolen and leaked, or of certificates being forged.
Randomized test forms
Our PTE Academic test is built intelligently from a large question bank, and our software ensures each test has an almost identical difficulty level and no two test takers’ experience is the same.
Invigilator to test taker ratios
The ratio of invigilators to test takers is an important indication of test security within the test room. PTE Academic has an invigilator to test taker ratio of 1:15, so that's one invigilator to every 15 test takers.
