PTE Academic Fee and Registration
What PTE Academic costs and how to book your test.
Approximate Fee
Pearson adjusts PTE Academic pricing for local taxes (VAT/GST) and market conditions, so the exact fee differs by country. Always confirm the current price at checkout on pearsonpte.com.

Money Matters: Reschedules, Cancellations, and Smart Prep
Reschedule ahead of time
Pearson allows rescheduling or cancellation up to a set number of days before your test date, typically with a partial refund.
Late changes forfeit more of the fee
Changes made closer to test day usually forfeit more of the fee - check the current policy when you book.
Availability is fast
PTE Academic test slots are often available within a few days, so you can book once you're confident, not months ahead.
Check your likely score before you pay
Practet's free PTE Academic practice and AI-scored mock tests use the same scoring logic as the real exam, so you know where you stand before committing to the fee.
