PTE for Poland — the USD 235 fee, Warsaw and Białystok, and the scores to aim for

Pearson's price finder lists two test centres in Poland, BBIA in Warsaw and Infotech Foundation in Białystok, and prices the tests in US dollars (checked 11 October 2026). IELTS on computer costs PLN 1,020 at the British Council and PLN 995 at IDP.

Australia's thresholds are per skill for tests from 7 August 2025: Competent 47 listening, 48 reading, 51 writing, 54 speaking; Proficient 58 / 59 / 69 / 76 for 10 points; Superior 69 / 70 / 85 / 88 for 20. Canada does not accept PTE Academic for Express Entry: PTE Core CLB 7 is listening 60, reading 60, writing 69, speaking 68. UK visas need 59 in each skill for B2. The United States sets no IELTS or PTE score for the student visa: each university sets its own, and some do not accept PTE at all.

The University of Warsaw asks every applicant to an English-taught programme for a B2 certificate from its approved list, which includes IELTS 5.5, PTE Academic 59 (at a test centre or online) and TOEFL iBT 72; it says applying without one is not possible. Foreigners covered by Poland's 2025 visa-system amendment must submit a certificate from the ministry's list instead.

Toronto does not accept IELTS One Skill Retake and wants every score from a single test date; it accepts IELTS Online. UNSW accepts One Skill Retake but not IELTS Online. Bristol accepts One Skill Retake and counts tests taken no more than two years before the course starts. Note how the PTE bar moves: Bristol asks 67 for the same profile that is IELTS 6.5.
