PTE or TOEFL---> what to choose ??

by atulmangal » Fri Apr 08, 2011 4:16 am
Dear all,

I am planning to give the GMAT in June. As, i'm a non-native English speaker, i have to give a Language Proficiency Test apart from GMAT. I have two option either i give TOEFL or PTE. If i go for PTE, i get special discount as i buy the bundle package ($360 for both). Now, i heard that some schools like Harvard demand a minimum score in TOEFL for admission. My question is, although PTE scores is now recognized by many American Universities, still is it safe to opt PTE over TOEFL??? Is it gonna affect my admission in B-school?? Do top B-schools in US give a special preference to TOEFL scores over PTE scores??

Experts please reply.

Thanks and Best Regards

Hi Atul,

Take the TOEFL. I think it is the safer option.

And hey, request you not to post such questions in this forum. :)

Thanks

@atul, I am not an expert BUT decided to reply based on my post-GMAT experience. There's no way for GMAC to correlate its own test with ETS designated Toefl ibt. Here's my view -

>> I am convinced that PTE is much better option for one taking the GMAT exam. If you score sufficiently on PTE and, in case you get underscored in the verbal section of GMAT (hopefully you won't get underscored), you might interplay two scores from English language test and GMAT verbal section upon Business School AdComs. At the end of day, GMAT is Math and English language exam.
