Insight into the Scoring Scheme of the PTE Academic: Communicative Skills  

The overall score of the PTE exam is actually the mean of several components, which fall under two main skill sets. These are aptly labelled as Communicative skills and Enabling skills. In this blog we will discuss the communicative skills, which are basically the same across all English proficiency tests.

Communicative skills envelop the abilities required to communicate in a foreign country, where English is the dominant language. These skills are Listening, Reading, Writing and Speaking. Most tests of English assess a student for these modules separately. PTE Academic India, with its modernised testing methods, combines two modules into a single task. This exciting new test is known for the sections that combine reading and speaking, listening and speaking, reading and writing, listening and writing, listening and reading etc., which add flavour to the PTE test of English. The PTE prescribes a scoring range of 10-90 points for this skill set.
