About the Test

To complete a PTE Academic test, you will need to attend a secure Pearson test centre. You will use a computer and headset to listen to, read and
respond to questions.

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 English, 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.
