Finding a suitable test centre and exam date are essential steps in completing the PTE exam booking. Every test taker wants the nearest centre and the most convenient date. And to get that, you first need to know all the available options. PTE’s website gives you all the necessary information on the same. The following article will help you understand the ‘what’, ‘when’ and ‘how’ of finding the preferred PTE exam date and test centre.
Availability of PTE Exam Dates
Pearson organises PTE exam throughout the year on all workdays in multiple timeslots across all the test centres. The majority of test centres offer 10 seats in every timeslot. And tests are conducted in 2 slots on every test date:
-
Early morning slot - 10 AM
-
Midday slot - 2:30 PM
Thus, you can enjoy ample choice in terms of PTE exam slots, dates and centre location.
How to Find A Test Centre and Date?
Usually, to search test centres and available PTE exam dates, you need to create a account and register your details. Once you mention the home location, myPTE portal shows all the available test centres with approximate distance from your location. Every test centre also shows date availability. Confirm your choice of PTE exam centre and date to finalise the booking.
A few things test takers should keep in mind:
-
Test takers can check centre and seat availability without finalising a test booking.
-
Availability varies. Some centres may not offer all dates and timeslots due to operational reasons.
-
Test-takers get email confirmation on booking status mentioning chosen test centre, PTE exam date and timeslot.
-
The booking confirmation can also be checked by logging into their myPTE accounts and through PTE Customer Service.
How to Check PTE Test Centres and Date Availability without Registration
Test-takers can also check centres data and date availability on PTE website without creating a myPTE account. However, to book a test, registration is a must.

Early Booking Helps
During peak admission seasons (twice in the USA - Fall and Spring), getting a preferred PTE exam booking date and timeslot can be a little tricky, especially in metro cities. Test takers must keep this in mind and should not wait for the last moment to book their PTE test. Usually, a month in advance is sufficient to get a preferred date and timeslot in any PTE test centre.

PTE advises every test-taker to choose a test centre and date as per their convenience. It is essential for reducing unnecessary stress and prepare adequately. You must reach the centre at least 30 minutes before the test starts and report. The test administrator will guide you to your test booth and inform you regarding test rules.
Many test-takers report a level of noise in the exam hall. It is unavoidable as some of the PTE test items require recording your voice on microphones. You should be mentally prepared for it and practice accordingly. Otherwise, PTE maintains every centre with utmost care for the best possible exam experience. So, to achieve the desired PTE score be ready and start your test prep today, if you have not already.
