Test rules and how to send your score

The computing page asks for 54 on the computer-based test, gives the Pearson institution code 88M and asks you to send the graduate admissions office your Score Report Code once you receive it. The business page says test scores cannot be more than two years old. None of the pages mentions PTE Academic Online or PTE Core.

On the same pages, IELTS is 6.0 for undergraduates and computing graduates and 6 for business graduates, so PTE 54 sits alongside IELTS 6.0 throughout. Duolingo 105 is the other common alternative.

If you fall short

The undergraduate and business pages accept completion of the ELS Level 112 Intensive Program English for Academic Purposes instead of a test score, and the undergraduate page also accepts passing Level 4 or higher at TALK English Schools. No page describes a conditional offer tied to a lower PTE score.

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