Students aspiring to study in the topmost universities and colleges of the English-speaking world need to clear an English language proficiency test. Non-native speakers of English have to show that they can read, write, speak, and understand English, so as to be able to follow lectures, study, take exams, and interact comfortably with fellow students, teachers and the local population. For this purpose, a standardized English language proficiency test for non-native English speakers has been established as a pre-requisite for the selection process.

Pearson Test of English is a standardized English Language Proficiency Test designed for non-native speakers of English. The test is managed and administered by Pearson. It is designed to meet the language proficiency requirement to study and immigrate to English speaking countries as it is assesses your speaking, writing, listening and reading abilities. Students must take it in order to study abroad in an English speaking country like Australia, or when they wish to become a permanent resident of such a country.
