PTE exam booking: a step-by-step guide

Book the PTE exam only through Pearson. Here's exactly how, and how to spot fake booking agents.

Step-by-step booking

  • 1. Go to pearsonpte.com and create a personal account. Use your name exactly as it appears on your passport.
  • 2. Choose the right test: PTE Academic (study, Australia and New Zealand visas) or PTE Core (Canadian immigration).
  • 3. Pick a test centre (or an official online option where it's available) and a date.
  • 4. Pay the fee on Pearson's secure checkout. You'll get a confirmation email from Pearson.
  • 5. Bring the same valid ID on test day.

Fake booking warning signs

  • Agents who ask for your Pearson password
  • “Guaranteed score” booking packages
  • Payment to a personal bank account or crypto wallet
  • Booking links that aren't on pearsonpte.com

When should you book?

Most students book once their mock test scores are consistently at or above their target. We help you choose a realistic date.

Please note

Fees, rules and score requirements change. Always confirm current details on Pearson's official website (pearsonpte.com) and on the relevant government or university website.
