Can You Take PTE Academic Before Turning 18? 🤔
Good news! You don't have to wait until you're 18 to take PTE Academic.
According to Pearson's official requirements, the minimum age to take PTE Academic is 16 years old.
But there's one important rule you should know:
✅ Aged 18 or above? You don't need parental consent to book your test.
✅ Aged 16 or 17? You can take the test, but you'll need consent from a parent or legal guardian before booking.
✅ Under 16? You're not yet eligible to take PTE Academic.
If you're 16 or 17, make sure your parental consent is completed and approved before your test booking.
