PTE Cancellation and Rescheduling Policy 2026

The PTE allows candidates to cancel or reschedule their test directly through myPTE account. The PTE test refund amount depends entirely on how early the test is cancelled before the scheduled exam date.

• 100% refund if the PTE test is cancelled more than 14 days before the test date.
• 50% refund if cancelled between 14 and 7 days before the test.
• No refund if the cancellation is made 7 days or less before the exam.

Candidates can also reschedule their PTE test free of charge if they make the changes more than 14 days in advance. Pearson also permits emergency rescheduling requests in genuine medical or family emergencies, provided valid supporting documents are submitted and approved.

PTE Exceptions for Emergencies 2026

If any applicant is unable to give the PTE test due to a medical or any family emergency, Pearson can allow you to reschedule the test free of cost. The following are the terms and conditions for medical and family emergencies:

• Applicants need to go to the “Request Emergency Reschedule” form as soon as possible.
• Attach the evidence with the form and wait for approval from Pearson.
• Applicants can apply for this up to 14 full calendar days before the scheduled PTE test date.

Note: Applicants should note that they should not miss the PTE test of their own will. Rescheduling or a refund is at Pearson’s approval. If Pearson finds the given evidence invalid or if it does not meet Pearson's requirements, it might deny any refund or rescheduling.

Understanding the PTE cancellation and rescheduling policy can help you avoid losing your exam fee. Candidates receive a 100% refund only when they cancel more than 14 days before the test, while free rescheduling is also available only within this timeframe. If you face a genuine medical or family emergency, you can request an emergency reschedule by submitting valid supporting documents, but the final decision rests with Pearson.
