What ages is PTE General designed for?
Levels A1 Foundation, 1, 2 and 3 are suitable for adult and teenage learners, aged 14 upwards. Levels 4 and 5 are recognized pre-entry qualifications at a number of UK universities and institutes of higher education and are therefore designed for young people aged 17+. Children aged between 8 and 13 may prefer to sit tests from PTE Young Learners before progressing onto PTE General at Level 1 or 2. At these levels of proficiency, the scenario and tasks require a higher level of maturity.
