Why is Pearson developing PTE Academic?
The British Council estimates that almost 2 billion people will learn English as a second or foreign language over the next 20 years. Responding to feedback from universities and higher education institutions , Pearson is developing PTE Academic to fulfil the need for an English language proficiency test that will more accurately measure the communication skills of international students in an academic environment. The score reporting services that will be provided by Pearson in conjunction with the test will enhance the admissions process and assist institutions in making more informed admissions decisions.
