Test rules and how PTE compares
The FAQ gives an overall PTE figure only. It does not mention PTE Academic Online or PTE Core, a validity period or how to send PTE scores; the school code it gives (3096) is for GRE and TOEFL.
On the same FAQ, PTE 61 sits next to IELTS Academic 7.0, TOEFL iBT 100 and Duolingo 130.

Waivers and if you fall short
The FAQ says you may be able to waive the English test if you are a citizen of a pre-approved English-speaking nation, or if you completed a bachelor's, master's or higher degree taught entirely in English, with documentation. It does not describe conditional admission.
Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your Bentley programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
