**[PTE](https://www.azent.com/expert-tips/pte-test)** or Pearson Test of English is a computer-based exam of English language proficiency intended to evaluate non-native English speakers' speaking, writing, reading, and listening abilities. It is for students in preparation for further education or employment in an English-speaking setting. Governments, universities, and colleges worldwide recognize PTE as evidence of English language competency. 

The International English Language Testing System, or **IELTS**, is a standardized test that assesses non-native English speakers' language skills in situations where English is the major language of communication, such as in the workplace or during study. The four language abilities evaluated on the IELTS are speaking, reading, writing, and listening. More than 10,000 entities globally accept it, including companies, universities, colleges, immigration agencies, and professional associations.
