Experience with Pearson PTE Academic UKVI

Hello everyone. I’m in the process of applying for UK citizenship following an indefinite right to remain, which was granted according the EU Settlement Scheme.
I was directed to take the PTE Academic UKVI. Results came out as follows:
89 Listening
82 Reading
56 Speaking
89 Writing
According to home office guidance, the pass grade depends on the level:

The trouble is that the test report card only says ‘PTE Academic UKVI’ with
no other descriptors. This is not nit-picking, as my score would be either a pass or a a fail according to the level.
Home Office does not comment on applicants’ personal circumstances, and Pearson – rightfully so – has nothing to say on a document produced by a third party.
Any idea?

Whoever directed you take this test was wrong - you should have done "B1 Graded Examinations in Spoken English (GESE) Grade 5" - a 10minute speaking exercise which is required for the AN application, no written exercises.

Many thanks for clarifying that – really appreciated. At this stage it can’t be helped, but at last someone else can learn from my experience!

Have you already applied? Have you submitted your biometrics?

No, I haven't. I still have to finalise the application.

So you still can take the right test then.
