Marist PTE scores by programme
From Marist's graduate English language proficiency page.
| Programme or band | PTE overall | Minimum per skill |

| MS in Computer Science, Software Development | 58 (test centre only) | No per-skill minimum printed |
Test rules and how to report your score
PTE must be a test-centre exam, so PTE Academic Online does not meet this requirement; PTE Core is not mentioned. Scores must be less than two years old from the first day of class of your entry term. Scanned scores are enough for a decision, but official score reporting is required before an I-20 may be issued.
IELTS is also test-centre only at 6.5 on the same page, so PTE 58 is Marist's equivalent to IELTS 6.5 for these programmes.

If you fall short
The test is waived for applicants who attended a US high school for at least four years or completed one academic year at a US college or university. The page does not describe a conditional admission or pathway route.
Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your Marist programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
