Test rules and how to send your score
The page lists PTE Academic and PTE Express with their own minimums. It does not mention PTE Academic Online, PTE Core, a validity period or a Pearson institution code.
On the same page, IELTS is 4.5 overall, TOEFL iBT 3.5 and Duolingo 75, so PTE 41 sits at the same entry level.

If you fall short
The page lists other routes, including at least three years of US high school and set grades in Cambridge IGCSE or O-level English. It does not describe 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 Mt. SAC programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
