Passing the NAATI CCL Test will earn you 5 additional points for your skilled migration application to Australia.

The NAATI CCL Test consists of two dialogue interpreting tasks. Each dialogue is a conversation between an English speaker and a non-English speaker. You will be required to interpret what each speaker says into the other language.

The test is scored out of 90 marks, with 45 marks allocated to each dialogue. To pass, you need to achieve a minimum of 29 marks out of 45 for each dialogue, and an overall minimum of 63 out of 90.

The preparation time varies depending on your current language proficiency and familiarity with interpreting. Most students require 1-3 months of focused preparation to successfully pass the test.

PTE Academic (Pearson Test of English Academic) is a computer-based English language test that assesses the listening, reading, speaking, and writing abilities of non-native English speakers who want to study abroad or for immigration purposes.

PTE Academic provides scores on a scale from 10 to 90 points, with each communicative skill (listening, reading, speaking, and writing) receiving an individual score. You also receive an overall score on the same scale.

The PTE Academic test has three main parts: Speaking & Writing (combined), Reading, and Listening. The entire test takes approximately 3 hours to complete and is conducted in a single session.

Both tests assess English language proficiency, but PTE is computer-based and uses AI scoring, while IELTS includes a face-to-face speaking component. PTE results are typically available within 48 hours, compared to 13 days for IELTS. The scoring scales are different, but many institutions accept either test.

PTE Academic scores are valid for two years from the date of the test.
