Question 1

Is PTE 35 equal to TOEFL 35 to 45?

Accepted Answer

On the published concordance, yes. PTE 35 and TOEFL 35 to 45 are treated as close equivalents. A concordance is a statistical match, not a promise of acceptance, so check what your university or visa stream asks for.

Question 2

What PTE score do I need for TOEFL 35 to 45?

Accepted Answer

TOEFL 35 to 45 corresponds to PTE 31 to 38. Aiming a few points above the bottom of that range gives you room for a bad day on one skill.

Question 3

What CEFR level is PTE 35?

Accepted Answer

PTE 35 sits at CEFR A2. That is read from Pearson's own CEFR alignment rather than converted through another test, because each test owner publishes its own.

Question 4

Where do these numbers come from?

Accepted Answer

Pearson has not yet published a concordance between the refreshed PTE Academic and TOEFL iBT. This comparison goes through the IELTS band that Pearson and ETS each publish against, so treat it as an indication rather than an official conversion.
