PTE Young Learners is a fun English language assessment for students age 6 to 13, delivered by Edexcel, the UK’s largest examining body.
It tests a young learner’s ability to use structures and functions in realistic contexts and, later on in the series, tests their ability to use language to carry out specific communicative tasks, with an emphasis on real-life scenarios rather than on knowledge of specific language items and vocabulary.
PTE Young Learners assesses the four skills: listening, reading, speaking and writing, organised in two parts, the Spoken part and the Written part. Please note that both the Written and Spoken parts need to be attempted to achieve a passing grade.
The PTE Young Learners test is not recognised for immigration purposes. If you require a test for immigration purposes, please visit PTE Academic

Integrated skills
PTE Young Learners integrates the four key language skills: listening, reading, speaking and writing.
It consists of two parts: a written test which assesses listening, reading and writing, and a spoken test. The spoken part of the test and the written part are taken separately. Because of the communicative nature of PTE Young Learners, the tests can be shorter without compromising the reliability of the results.
