Institutions typically receive PTE Academic scores electronically within 24–48 hours of you initiating the score send from your Pearson account. Some institutions may take 3–5 business days to process and record the score internally. Always send your scores at least 1–2 weeks before your application deadline to allow processing time.
#Link to this answerQ201. Can I send PTE scores to immigration authorities directly?
Yes. For Australian immigration, you share your PTE Unique Identifier (found in your score report) directly with the Department of Home Affairs when submitting your visa application. You do not need to send a physical document — the DHA verifies your score electronically using the identifier. Other immigration bodies have similar electronic verification processes.
