Which test should you choose - PTE or IELTS! This is a common question in almost every student's mind. Here we have shortlisted some of the points you need to consider before choosing any of these exams.

Although the Pearson Test of English, also known as PTE Academic, is around for a while for almost 11 years for students seeking to study in Australia, Canada or other English speaking countries, PTE is still a relatively new test. Most students prefer to do IELTS in most countries around the world due to its popularity. Everyone who is seeking to study in an English speaking country has to sit any of these exams and get a good score as possible to enhance the chances of getting an offer letter and hence a study visa. The same is true for many skilled workers who intend to move to Australia, Canada or other English speaking nations on a skilled visa. 

Whichever the reason you want to do the English test, it is super important to choose a test that is comparatively easier and helps you get the highest score possible in a short period of time.
