PTE Exam Fees

PTE is an exam that comes in various forms, from PTE Academic to PTE Core to PTE UK Visa Tests. The difference lies in purpose, as academic test specifically assists with academic intentions, visa applications and professional registrations, the PTE core is recognised for permanent residency applications and immigration purposes and lastly, there are types of UK Visa Tests, such as PTE Academic UKVI, Home A1, A2 and B1, wherein the choice is in between a family visa, settlement and citizenship, work visa and student visa, all specific to the United Kingdom.

Further, there might be some minimal charges and students will have to consider the refund policies if they decide to reschedule or cancel the exam. These charges will depend upon when and why the student is rescheduling. Further, in case of a family emergency or an illness student can get a full refund by filling up an Emergency Reschedule Form, but this is subject to the discretion of PTE and the evidence provided.

PTE Cancellation Fees

In the scenario, when a student may feel unprepared for the test or wants to apply for the next academic year or there are other circumstantial issues then the test taker has the option to cancel the scheduled exam. But there are conditions applied, firstly, the timeline, for a full refund student must cancel at least 14 days before the scheduled exam. Further, by cancelling between 13 to 8 full calendar days student gets a 50% refund and if there are less than 7 calendar days before the exam then the student does not get any refund. Remember that the test date is not included in these timeframes.

PTE Rescheduling Fees

The test can be rescheduled 6 times at max and if less than 14 days are left then the “Reschedule” button disappears and one can only cancel and book another appointment. The procedure to reschedule is very simple, as a student just log-in to their myPTE account and follows the step-by-step instructions to “reschedule” on their account dashboard.
