Quick guide
How to use this calculator
- Choose the explicit policy, scale, scoring basis, or planning method before entering results.
- Use the labelled fields and add one structured row per course, attempt, component, criterion, learner record, unit, or workload batch that belongs in the scenario.
- Read component outputs before the overall summary: they expose denominators, active weights, exclusions, shortages, thresholds, provenance, and the record or stage driving the result.
Calculation method
Transparent education workflow
Each gap = entered target − reported skill score; the skill mean is shown only as a descriptive profile and is never used to calculate PTE Overall.
The calculator preserves relevant distinctions and reports intermediate components rather than converting missing information into an assumed score, policy, equivalency, or approval.
Worked example
Worked example
An Overall score of 65 with skill scores 62, 68, 70, and 60 keeps 65 as the reported Overall while identifying Writing as the lowest skill.
Each gap = entered target − reported skill score; the skill mean is shown only as a descriptive profile and is never used to calculate PTE Overall.
Supported inputs
Precision and limits
Visitor-entered rules and assumptions
No grading scale, attendance threshold, late-work rule, mastery definition, institutional conversion, admissions requirement, curriculum rule, or room-safety standard is supplied automatically.
Privacy by default
Use short non-identifying labels. Entered academic information and results stay in this browser tab and are not placed in URLs, analytics, storage, session replay, or a cloud record.
Support, not automated judgement
Results organize arithmetic evidence. They do not rank learners, diagnose learning, predict admission, determine placement, recommend discipline, certify safety, or replace professional and institutional judgement.
Calculator-specific boundary
Pearson calculates Overall holistically across test questions, including integrated-skill items. Enter the reported Overall separately; this planner cannot reconstruct or predict it from four communicative skills.
