Online tests, retakes and sharing results

The certificate table says Politecnico accepts the listed certificates for exams taken on paper, on computer or online, where applicable, and that retakes of one or more parts of a certificate are accepted where applicable. It names "Pearson Test of English Academic"; PTE Core is not mentioned, and no validity period is given for PTE.

The code C285 on the admissions pages is for sharing TOEFL and TOEIC results only, and Cambridge results are shared with a candidate ID. No Pearson code is given, so upload your PTE certificate with your application.

On the same B2 table, IELTS Academic or General Training is 5.5 and TOEFL iBT is 72 (4 on the new scale). PTE 59 is therefore the PTE route to the same B2 level.

If you fall short

The pages list exemptions rather than a pre-sessional route: for English, check the exemption cases on the bachelor's or master's page before booking a test. Master's programmes taught partly in Italian also need Italian at B2.

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