Which SELT Test Is Easiest?

Who this page is for

People who must sit a SELT and want a format match, not a folklore promise.

Overview

Nothing on this page is a guarantee. IELTS for UKVI uses a human speaking examiner. PTE Academic UKVI is microphone and AI. People who talk naturally to a person often prefer IELTS; people who want a computer lab and fast results often prefer PTE. 'Easiest' in ads usually means 'the centre had a commission'. See PTE UKVI vs IELTS UKVI.

What actually matters

• Same CEFR target, different interface.
• Book the level your route requires, not a harder Academic 8.0 'for luck'.
• Availability in your city can decide it.
