Test rules and how to send your score

The international page says official PTE scores must be sent directly to the Office of International Services. The graduate page says electronic scores must be emailed from the testing service, not the applicant. Neither page mentions PTE Academic Online, PTE Core or a validity period.

On both pages, IELTS 6.0 and TOEFL iBT 79 are the matching levels, so PTE 53 sits alongside IELTS 6.0. The graduate page asks for TOEFL section scores but none for PTE.

If you fall short

The graduate page frames these scores as the bar for unconditional admission and says a local English proficiency examination may be required. Neither page describes a conditional or pathway route with a PTE entry point.

Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your MSU Texas programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
