If you need PTE for a UK visa

PTE Academic UKVI cannot be booked in Macau, so for a UK visa that needs a SELT you can either take PTE Academic UKVI in Hong Kong or IELTS for UKVI in Macau at HK$3,340. See PTE exam fee in Hong Kong.

Pearson prefers a valid passport, and outside your country of citizenship a passport is the only ID it accepts (ID policy). The name, date of birth and citizenship in myPTE must match it exactly.

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 more than 7 days 50%, and at 7 days or fewer nothing.

If illness or a family emergency stops you attending, Pearson may let you reschedule free at its discretion; submit the Request Emergency Reschedule form with evidence no later than 72 hours after the appointment. See our PTE reschedule, cancel and refund guide.

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 accepts American Express, Discover, Mastercard and Visa, and a voucher or promo code is entered at the payment step (Pearson booking guide). Your account name must match your passport exactly; it can be corrected up to 3 days before the test, never on test day, and a mismatch means no test and no refund.

IELTS costs HK$3,140 in Macau. Choose by what your university or visa accepts, then take a free PTE mock test.
