PTE for Education in the United States from Palau: the score you need

To study Education in the United States from Palau, your PTE Academic score is one of the few parts of this fully in your control. Here's what you need, the route from Palau, and where you can study.

The PTE score you need for the United States

PTE Academic is accepted by more than 1,000 US universities for admission (commonly around 50–60 for undergraduate and 55–70+ for graduate programs). Important: the US government does not use PTE as a visa English test — the F1 student visa is not gated on a PTE score; what matters is being admitted by a university. The US also has no points-based skilled-migration English test.

More than 1,200 US institutions accept PTE Academic, including nearly all universities. Worldwide, PTE Academic is accepted by over 3,000 institutions across nearly 70 countries. Confirm the exact score your programme needs on its official admissions page.

Study, work and PR each set their own bar (study is usually the lowest, PR the highest). These figures change and are component-specific — confirm the live number on US universities before you rely on it. Source: US universities.
