Test rules and how to send your score

The how-to-apply page says to submit an official score report following the test centre's instructions. It gives specific steps for TOEFL (code 2451), IELTS, Duolingo and Cambridge, but none for PTE, so ask your admissions counsellor how to send a Pearson report. Neither page mentions PTE Academic Online, PTE Core or score validity.

On the same list: IELTS 6.5, TOEFL iBT 4.0 (equivalent to 80 on the previous scale), Cambridge English 180 and the Duolingo English Test at 110.

If you fall short

The list also accepts SAT Reading and Writing 600, ACT English 25, AP English 4 and IB English results. The pages describe no conditional admission or English programme with a PTE entry point.

Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your AUBG programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
