PTE doesn’t really use bands like IELTS but ppl just convert them to understand it better… like a 90 in PTE is kinda like band 9 in IELTS, 65 is like band 7 ish.

There’s this pte score chart in bands online that shows the conversion.

Okay so basically u get a score outta 90 in each section – speaking, writing, reading, listening.

Then they also give u an overall score based on that.

But the band people talk abt is usually a comparison, not from PTE directly, just to match IELTS kinda thing

I think it’s not just avg of 4 sections?

Some say PTE has enabling skills too like grammar, pronunciation etc and those somehow affect the main scores

so the scoring is a bit algorithm based?? idk it’s not super transparent tbh

Yep enabling skills!!

like I got 85 in speaking but my pronunciation was like 60

pte is more like AI checks u on tiny things also…so weird
