PTE fees in Egypt by test
The figures are copied from Pearson's test centers and fees finder with Egypt selected. One price applies at all six Egyptian centres, shown in EGP with no separate tax line.
| Test | Fee in Egypt | Used for |
|---|---|---|
| PTE Academic | EGP 8,600 | Study abroad, Australian and New Zealand visas, professional registration |
| PTE Academic UKVI | EGP 8,600 | UK visas that need a Secure English Language Test |
| PTE Core | EGP 8,600 | Canadian (IRCC) economic immigration |
| PTE Home A1, A2 or B1 | EGP 7,300 | UK family, extension and settlement routes |
PTE or IELTS: the price gap in Egypt
IELTS on computer costs EGP 10,200 and IELTS for UKVI EGP 11,500 at both IELTS providers (IELTS fee in Egypt). PTE Academic saves EGP 1,600 and PTE Academic UKVI saves EGP 2,900. IELTS Life Skills (EGP 6,900) is cheaper than PTE Home (EGP 7,300) for the UK family and settlement routes.
Price is only one factor: check that your university or visa accepts PTE, and that a centre is within reach, since all six are in Giza, Cairo and Alexandria (PTE test centres in Egypt). See IELTS or PTE: which is easier?.

Pearson applies the same rules in Egypt as everywhere else (cancellation and rescheduling policy, last updated 17 September 2026, 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. Pearson's own example: for a test on 17 April at 2:00 PM, cancel before 3 April at 2:00 PM for 100% back, up to 10 April at 1:59 PM for 50%, and after that 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.
| Time left before the test | Reschedule | Refund if you cancel |
|---|---|---|
| More than 14 full calendar days | Free, up to 6 times per booking | 100% |
| 14 days down to more than 7 days | Not possible: cancel and book again | 50% |
| 7 days or fewer | Not possible: cancel and book again | None |
How to book and pay
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 (its booking guide names American Express, Discover, Mastercard and Visa) plus Google Pay and Apple Pay, and does not accept PayPal; payment must be made in full in the currency shown (payment policy). Vouchers cannot be refunded and cannot pay a rescheduling fee. You can sit PTE up to 12 times in any 12 months (retake policy).
Pearson warns against anyone who offers a test well below the official fee, a deal over social media or a guaranteed score, and says it cannot recover money paid to third parties outside official channels (booking safely). Book on pearsonpte.com with your own email address and card, or use an official voucher. Take a free PTE mock test before you pay EGP 8,600.
