    Why Vision Abroad for Immigration?

    Both PTE and IELTS follow a similar standard of testing students in the English Language. It is important for students to practice well to be able to score well in the exam.

Candidates can check out the syllabus and exam pattern of both PTE and IELTS to understand the difference between the two.

    The range for the overall PTE Score is between 10 and 90 points. There is no set good score for PTE.

    A lot of times, the PTE Score may not be to the liking of the student and he may decide to appear again. A student can appear for the PTE Academic exam as many times as he wishes, although he is required to wait until he has received the scores of his previous PTE test before applying for another.

    The PTE Academic exam is widely accepted across universities/colleges in Canada, Australia, United Kingdom, and New Zealand. There are also a lot of educational institutions in countries apart from the ones mentioned earlier that accept PTE Scores for their admission process.
