Test rules and how to send your score
UNK accepts official scores either as the official score report issued to you by the testing company or sent directly to UNK from the testing centre or company. Unofficial scores are not accepted. The page does not mention PTE Academic Online, PTE Core, a validity period or a Pearson institution code.
On the same chart, IELTS is 5.5 and Duolingo is 100, so PTE 51 is the PTE route to the level UNK sets with IELTS 5.5.

If you fall short
Students with scores below the minimum, or in a country where these tests are unavailable, can apply to UNK's English Language Institute. Accepted students take an English placement exam on arrival, and the result decides full-time or part-time intensive English classes.
Requirements vary by programme and change between admissions cycles. The score that binds you is the one on your UNK programme page and in your offer letter, so check it there before you book a test.
