What PTE score do you need for UW-Stevens Point?

UW-Stevens Point asks for a PTE score of 52 or above, with no per-skill minimum stated. The catch is score age: English test results must be less than one year old to count, which is stricter than the two years many US universities allow. The IELTS route on the same page is 6.0 with no band below 5.5.

Test rules and how to send your score

Scores must be less than one year old. The page says scanned copies, photocopies and web results are not accepted, so your PTE result needs to come as an official report. It does not mention PTE Academic Online or PTE Core and gives no Pearson code; it gives code 1919 for TOEFL only.

On the same page, IELTS is 6.0 with no sub-score below 5.5 and TOEFL iBT is 78 with at least 17 in Speaking and Writing. The PTE route has no section floor at all, which helps if one skill is weaker.

If you fall short

Non-native speakers transferring from US schools need a test score unless they have completed two semesters (or the equivalent) of university-level coursework at a US institution. Other routes on the page are SAT Evidence-Based Reading and Writing 530, ACT English and Reading 22 and the Duolingo English Test at 110. The page does not describe a conditional admission programme.

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