Test rules and how to send your score
Upload your PTE score report at universityadmissions.se and assign the result to "University Admissions in Sweden" in your PTE account. Results from PTE Academic Online should be uploaded too. University Admissions will not accept results it cannot verify. PTE Core is not mentioned.
Linköping's page names IELTS Academic 6.5 with no section below 5.5, or TOEFL with 20 in writing and 90 overall, as typical tests for English 6. PTE 62 with writing 61 is the PTE equivalent on the University Admissions list.
Pearson has discontinued PTE Academic Online for new bookings, so plan on a test-centre PTE Academic sitting even where this page still lists the online version. See can you take PTE at home.

If you fall short
Linköping says some students meet English 6 through their upper secondary studies, and those who studied in English at university level may be exempt from a test. Final-year bachelor's students can apply with proof that they are in their last year. No pre-sessional course is described.
Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your Linköping programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
