The cost of taking the PTE Test increased in a bunch of countries this week. At first glance, it seems like all of the price increases are in Asia-Pacific countries (though I could be wrong). Here’s a list of increases in countries I’m most interested in:
- Australia: $410 AUD → $445 AUD
- China: $310 USD → $317 USD
- Hong Kong: $295 USD → $303 USD
- Lao: $180 USD → $185 USD
- New Zealand: $410 NZD → $445 NZD
- Philippines: $220 USD → $230 USD
- Singapore: $270 USD → $300 USD
- Taiwan: $240 USD → $260 USD
- Thailand: $200 USD → $205 USD
- Vietnam: $180 USD → $185 USD
Update. Pearson has now raised the cost of taking the PTE in countries around the world. Earlier I noted here that prices only went up in Asia-Pacific nations. Here are the increases in a handful of countries that interest me:
- Canada: $330 CAD → $340 CAD
- India: ₹15900 → ₹17000
- Pakistan: $215 → $220
- South Africa: 4300 ZAR → 4600 ZAR
- Brazil: $225 USD → $230 USD
- Germany: $250 → $260
- Saudi Arabia: $340 USD → $350 USD
- Switzerland: $300 USD → $330 USD
- United Kingdom: 190 GBP → 200 GBP
- USA: $235 USD → $245 USD
Stay tuned for TOEFL price hikes, which usually occur around the end of January.
