PTE Band Score or PTE Score
The PTE score is machine-scored. The scoring is of two types:
- Partial Credit
- Correct or Incorrect
Partial Credit: Partial credit is marked for all right answers. For all wrong answers, points will be deducted from the points earned for the right answers. No marks are awarded for the wrong answers.
Correct or Incorrect: The candidate will be awarded one point for each correct response. No points will be awarded for an incorrect answer.
PTE Score Chart Calculation or PTE Scoring System:
The overall score will be calculated based on the candidate’s performance in all the sections. The PTE score calculators take the sum and average for the overall score. The two important contributors to the PTE score are Communicative Skills and Enabling Scores.
PTE Communicative Skills Score: The score for this category consists of reading, writing, speaking and listening. The score range for the skill is between 10 and 90 points.
PTE Enabling Skills Score: These skills include grammar, spelling, pronunciation, vocabulary, oral fluency and written discourse. The score of enabling skill ranges between 10 and 90 points.
For the overall PTE score, all scores under Enabling Skills are added and the total is divided by 6. The average of this is added along with the four communicative skills scores. The average of these 5 parts together is taken as the overall PTE score.
