PTE Score Formula

The overall PTE Academic score is calculated by averaging the four communicative skills scores and rounding to the nearest whole number:

Overall Score = round((Listening + Reading + Speaking + Writing) ÷ 4)

Example: If your scores are 75 (Listening), 80 (Reading), 70 (Speaking), and 75 (Writing), the average is 75.0, giving you an overall PTE score of 75. If the average were 74.5, it would round to 75.
