Test rules and how to send your score

HAN says it accepts only the listed tests, that home editions are not accepted and that your test must be taken at an official examination centre. That rules out PTE Academic Online; PTE Core is not on the list. Tests should not be older than two years. The page gives no Pearson code.

The IELTS routes carry band floors and a speaking minimum, while the PTE lines give only an overall score. IELTS One Skill Retakes are accepted; the page says nothing similar for PTE.
