About IELTS ↔ PTE ↔ Duolingo Score Converter
Nepali students preparing for overseas higher education or immigration frequently need to map their scores between the International English Language Testing System (IELTS), Pearson Test of English (PTE Academic), Duolingo English Test (DET), and TOEFL iBT. Different universities and immigration departments establish their admission minimums and visa points according to different scales.
Official Concordance Benchmarks
- IELTS ↔ PTE Academic: Based on Pearson's updated concordance research. For instance, IELTS 6.5 aligns with PTE 58–64, while IELTS 7.0 corresponds to PTE 65–72. For Australian migration points, scoring PTE 65+ in all 4 bands achieves Proficient English (+10 points), while PTE 79+ achieves Superior English (+20 points).
- Duolingo English Test (DET): Duolingo reports on a 10–160 scale. A score of 105–110 aligns with IELTS 6.0, 115–120 corresponds to IELTS 6.5, and 125–130 maps to IELTS 7.0. Many US and European universities actively accept Duolingo for undergraduate and master's admissions.
- Canadian Language Benchmark (CLB): Canadian immigration (IRCC) under the Express Entry and SDS streams requires converting your test bands into CLB levels. The coveted CLB 9 (often called the "8-7-7-7" in IELTS General or ~PTE 89-78-88-84) provides a massive boost in Comprehensive Ranking System (CRS) immigration points.
Sectional vs. Overall Requirements
While an overall score gives you an initial estimate, most university admission letters specify: "Overall 6.5 with no band less than 6.0" (or PTE 58 with no communicative skill below 50). Always confirm individual module thresholds with your university's international admissions prospectus.
