PTE

Pearson Test of English (PTE) is designed to test your English reading, writing, listening and speaking skills. The test takes approximately 3 hours to complete. This includes an un-timed introduction to the test and one optional scheduled break of up to 10 minutes.

During the three-hour test session there will be three main parts to the test: speaking and writing (together), listening and reading. There are twenty different question formats, ranging from multiple choice through to essay writing and interpreting information.

PTE Academic assesses real-life, academic content, so you will hear excerpts from lectures and view graphs and charts. You will hear a range of accents in the test, from British and American to non-native speakers, so you will be exposed to the type of accents you will encounter in everyday life.
