Test rules and how PTE compares with IELTS

The two-year limit on the page is written for TOEFL and IELTS scores, and the score reporting section covers only TOEFL (code 6368) and IELTS, so ask admissions how to send a PTE report. The page does not mention PTE Academic Online or PTE Core.

On the same table, undergraduate IELTS is 6 and TOEFL iBT 4, so PTE 44 sits beside IELTS 6. Graduate IELTS is 6.5, with TOEFL 71 iBT for master's and 79 for doctoral study.

If you fall short

Successful completion of the final level of the UA Little Rock Intensive English Language Program meets the requirement, though the table notes you must also take TOEFL or IELTS. No PTE entry point is stated for the programme.

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