Test rules and how to send your score

Results must be submitted through the official testing portal by the application deadline. Stockton does not superscore and gives preference to the most recent scores. The transfer section adds that results must not be older than two years. The page does not mention PTE Academic Online or PTE Core or a Pearson code.

IELTS on the same page is 6.5 overall and TOEFL iBT 79, so PTE 58 is Stockton's PTE route to IELTS 6.5.

If you fall short

Stockton waives the requirement after three or more years at an American high school, schooling where English was the only medium of instruction, AP English Language 3 or higher, GCSE English B/6 or higher, and other listed routes. ELS level 112 and Cambridge English 176+ also count.

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