Test rules and how to send your score

The page lists English test scores among the required documents and accepts a medium of instruction letter as an alternative. It does not mention PTE Academic Online, PTE Core, a validity period or a Pearson institution code.

IELTS 6.0 is the direct-admission level on the same page, with a minimum writing sub-score, and IELTS 5.5 to 6.0 is the Bridge range. PTE 59 sits beside IELTS 6.0 and PTE 50 to 58 beside the Bridge range.

If you fall short

In the Bridge Pathway range you are admitted and fast-tracked into your programme. Undergraduates take 9 general education and 6 elective credits in the first semester; graduates take 3 credits that count toward electives. Bridge students may have to complete extra English support coursework. The page gives no route below PTE 50.

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