The PTE score is calculated by a computer. There are two types of scoring:
1. Partial Credit
2. Correct or Incorrect

Partial Credit: For all correct answers, partial credit is given. All incorrect answers will result in a deduction of points from the points earned for correct answers. For incorrect answers, no points are given.

Correct or incorrect: For each correct response, the candidate will receive one point. An incorrect answer will not earn you any points.

Pearson VUE (Virtual User Environment) is the company that administers the PTE exam.
