Quick answer
PTE Academic in Turkey is priced in US dollars, usually in the USD 180–250 range depending on your test location and mandatory local taxes such as VAT. Pearson adjusts pricing by market, so the figure shown at your checkout is the one to budget for.
Because the fee is USD-denominated and includes local taxes, the lira amount varies. Always verify the exact price on the official Pearson booking page before paying.
