PTE fees in Brazil

Pearson lists one price per test for Brazil in its test centers and fees price finder, in US dollars, with no real price and no separate late booking fee. For comparison, Pearson listed USD 240 in Argentina and USD 265 in Chile on the same day.

Pearson describes PTE Academic Online, the at-home version, as suitable for study applications to institutions that accept PTE Academic, but not currently accepted by governments for visa applications. Book it only if your university confirms it accepts the at-home version.

Reschedule and refund rules

Pearson's rules are the same everywhere (cancellation and rescheduling policy, last updated 17 September 2026, and refund policy). You can reschedule free while more than 14 full calendar days remain. Inside 14 days the Reschedule button disappears, so you must cancel and book again. A cancellation more than 14 days out refunds 100%, between 14 and 7 days 50%, and closer than that nothing.

Pearson may allow a free reschedule for illness or a family emergency at its discretion, if you submit the Request Emergency Reschedule form with evidence no later than 72 hours after the appointment. More in our PTE reschedule, cancel and refund guide.

Booking, paying and the IELTS alternative

Pearson's booking guide lists American Express, Discover, Mastercard and Visa, and you enter any voucher or promo code at the payment step (Pearson booking guide). Its payment policy adds Google Pay and Apple Pay, rules out PayPal, and says a declined payment cancels the booking.

Your account name must match your passport exactly. IELTS costs BRL 1,360 with the British Council, so which test is cheaper depends on the exchange rate on the day you pay; see IELTS exam fee in Brazil and compare targets with the PTE to IELTS converter. Then take a free PTE mock test.
