Louise1234 Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 Good Morning, I am hoping to get some clarity regarding the PTE academic exam. I have recently completed the exam and my results have come in this morning. I achieved a grade of 79 overall but my listening was 70. Does this matter? or will they just look at the overall, average, grade? Thanks in advance Louise x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheery Thistle Posted February 5 Share Posted February 5 If you need 79 for the points you’ll need to get 79 in each individual section I’m afraid. Book your resit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StevenP Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Is this correct as when my wife done it I was of the understanding that it was the overall result as in superior English and the overall mark was the score they look for? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheery Thistle Posted February 7 Share Posted February 7 Here is the link to the page on immi where it says 79 in each of the 4 sections https://immi.homeaffairs.gov.au/help-support/meeting-our-requirements/english-language/superior-english Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Louise1234 Posted February 8 Author Share Posted February 8 It was the listening - I complete lost track in the fill in the blank which then also brought my writing down to 80 as made up some of the words which I though could fill in the blank!!! At least I know where I went wrong!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheery Thistle Posted February 8 Share Posted February 8 Gah! Focus your revision on that exercise and sounds like you have done well in the rest. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise1234 Posted February 8 Author Share Posted February 8 Other sections were 90 and 84 so fingers crossed!!! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Louise1234 Posted February 20 Author Share Posted February 20 Clutching at straw here - retook the PTE exam and was successful in listening but when down in write. I have read somewhere that you can merge both tests? Does anyone know anything about this? Don't wanna pay another £200!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ausvisitor Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Pearson the company that do the test make no mention of this being a possibility on their faqs - and they talk a lot about retakes and why your scores might go down from one test to another. So it might not be a thing. That said the internet is full of education agents saying it might be possible, but equally lots of notes saying that a combined test isn't admissible for immigration reasons. Maybe your immigration agent can help, they must have seen this issue before Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
