How much is the PTE exam fee in Austria in 2026?

IELTS costs EUR 305 in Vienna at both providers, IELTS for UKVI EUR 327 and Life Skills EUR 208 (IELTS fee in Austria). PTE Academic therefore saves EUR 30 and PTE Academic UKVI EUR 52, while Life Skills is EUR 22 cheaper than PTE Home. Both tests are offered only in Vienna, so the city does not decide it.

IELTS has two advantages: One Skill Retake after a computer test, and Klarna as a payment option with the British Council. Pearson takes cards and wallets only. Compare formats in IELTS or PTE: which is easier?.

Pearson applies the same rules in Austria as everywhere else (cancellation and rescheduling policy and refund policy). You can reschedule free while more than 14 full calendar days remain, up to six times per booking. Inside 14 days the Reschedule button disappears, so you must cancel and book again: between 14 and 7 full days you get 50% back, and with 7 days or fewer nothing.

For illness or a family emergency, Pearson may allow a free reschedule if you send the Request Emergency Reschedule form with evidence no later than 72 hours after your appointment; acceptance is at its discretion.

To book, create a myPTE account, choose the test, pick a centre and a slot at least 24 hours ahead, and pay (Pearson's booking guide). Pearson takes credit and debit cards plus Google Pay and Apple Pay, does not accept PayPal, and needs full payment in the currency shown (payment policy). You can sit PTE up to 12 times in any 12 months (retake policy).

Pearson says a genuine reseller offers the test at the published price or a small discount and never promises a score, and that it cannot recover money paid to third parties outside official channels (booking safely).
