Auburn PTE scores
The undergraduate figure is on Auburn's international admissions page. The Graduate School international instructions name TOEFL, IELTS and DET as the accepted testing services.
| Programme or band | PTE overall | Minimum per skill |
|---|---|---|
| Undergraduate admission | 53 | None stated |
| Graduate School | PTE not listed | Not applicable |
Sending scores and the IELTS level
The undergraduate page asks for official TOEFL, IELTS or PTE scores sent directly from the testing agency, and in places names ETS (which runs TOEFL, not PTE) as the sender, so ask Auburn how it wants a Pearson report delivered. It does not mention PTE Academic Online, PTE Core or a validity period.
For comparison, the same page asks an IELTS band score of 6.5 or higher against PTE 53.

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