The Australian Department of Home Affairs has introduced a significant update to the Pearson Test of English (PTE) score requirements for permanent residency and other visa types, effective August 7, 2025.
New PTE Score Requirements:
To qualify for 20 PR points under the Superior English category, applicants will need to achieve the following scores:
– Listening: 69
– Reading: 70
– Writing: 85
– Speaking: 88
This change reflects a shift in the English proficiency requirements for Australian permanent residency. It’s essential for applicants to understand the updated score requirements and plan accordingly.
