What PTE score do you need for Otterbein University?

All test scores must be reported directly from the testing centre. The page does not mention PTE Academic Online, PTE Core, a validity period or a Pearson institution code. Athletic Training, Education, Engineering, Honors, Nursing and some other programmes have extra academic requirements.

IELTS is 6.5 on the same page, so PTE 53 is the PTE route to that level.

Instead of PTE you can use ACT English 21, SAT Evidence-based Reading and Writing 550 or TOEIC 681. The page mentions ESL students living on campus but does not describe a conditional admission or pathway route with a PTE entry score.

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