Test rules and how to send your score

UiS accepts PTE Academic Online. Results must be no more than two years old at the time of application. Upload the result as a PDF in Søknadsweb, or upload a PDF confirming your test registration by 1 December 2026 (non-EU/EEA) or 1 March 2027 (EU/EEA and Swiss). If you uploaded a registration, email the final result with your application number to admissions@uis.no by 15 December 2026 or 1 May 2027. No Pearson code is given, and PTE Core is not mentioned.

On the same page, IELTS Academic is 6.5 with writing 6.0, and UiS does not accept IELTS Online or One Skill Retake. PTE is therefore the online-friendly option here, along with TOEFL iBT only at a test centre.
