Please note: Any attempt to predict a score on a particular test, based on the score observed on another test, will contain measurement error. This is a consequence of the inherent error in each of the tests in the comparison and in the estimate of the alignment. Furthermore, tests in the comparison do not measure exactly the same construct.
Understand the equivalence between PTE Core & CLB score.
