Frequently asked questions
What is this test?
It's Boston Institute's free course finder. A few questions about you, then short grammar, vocabulary, listening and speaking tasks and one task in the style of each test, help us suggest whether our PTE or IELTS preparation course suits you best, estimate your level and build a study path to match.
Is PTE easier than IELTS?
Neither is easier for everyone. PTE suits students who are comfortable on a computer and with short, timed tasks; IELTS suits students who prefer a face-to-face speaking interview and longer tasks. This test helps you see which course fits you.
What happens after the test?
You'll see your recommended course and study path straight away. If you'd like, we'll email it to you and an advisor will call you for a free consultation, which includes a full diagnostic and a personalised plan.
Is my voice recorded in the speaking tasks?
No. Your browser converts your speech to text so we can check how many words came through clearly. We don't record or store your audio.
