Test rules and the IELTS comparison

Internationally recognised test results must have been issued within the last five years. The page lists Pearson PTE Academic and, separately, the Pearson English International Certificate, which is a different test; do not confuse the two. It does not mention PTE Academic Online, PTE Core or a Pearson sending method.

On the same RSU page, IELTS 6.0 is the minimum, alongside TOEFL iBT 4.5 (previously 80) and Cambridge 170.

If your PTE score falls short

You do not need a test if you completed previous secondary or higher education fully in English in Australia, the Bahamas, Canada, Ireland, New Zealand, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, the United Kingdom or the United States. EU/EEA and Swiss secondary graduates can use the English grade on their transcript if it corresponds to at least B2. Non-EU/EEA/Swiss citizens otherwise need a test.

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