Waarom scoreplanning belangrijk is
UK PTE applicants often book standard PTE Academic when SELT UKVI is mandatory—or meet an overall target while one communicative skill sits below the CEFR floor. Mapping practice scores to B1/B2 per skill early prevents a second expensive booking after your CoS or CAS deadline.
