Test rules and how PTE compares
The page gives an overall PTE minimum only and does not mention PTE Academic Online, PTE Core or a validity period. Bradley does not accept IELTS Indicator, TOEFL Basics or exams not on its list.
Scores must be sent directly from the testing agency to Graduate Admissions. Bradley's ETS code is 1070; the page says other exams use different reporting codes, so send PTE through your Pearson account to Bradley University. Letters and certificates are not accepted as proof.
On the same page, PTE 56 sits beside IELTS Academic 6.5 overall.

Waivers and if you fall short
Bradley waives the test for graduates of an English-medium college or university in an eligible country, for at least one year of full-time degree study in the US within the last four years, or for two or more years of continuous full-time work in the US or another English-speaking country in a role requiring fluent English. The page does not describe conditional admission.
Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your Bradley programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
