PTE updates
What changed for PTE candidates, month by month: Pearson format and scoring changes, visa English requirements, fees, and what changed on EdKnot. Every item is dated and sourced.
What we track
Four things, and only when they change: the test itself (task list, timing, scoring scales and the score report), the English thresholds that visa and study routes set in Australia, Canada, the UK and New Zealand, the fee and rescheduling rules Pearson publishes by country, and what changed in EdKnot practice and mock tests.
How each entry is written
Every item carries the date it took effect and a link to the official page it came from: Pearson for the test and fees, the Department of Home Affairs, IRCC or UKVI for thresholds. If a change is announced but not yet in force, the entry says so. Nothing here is a forecast.
How to use it
Read the month before your test date and the month you booked in. The permanent references stay current on their own pages: the exam pattern, scoring, fees and registration and results. An update tells you what moved; those pages hold the full picture.
