Understanding the PTE Academic Exam

Before diving into the intricacies of our training program, it’s crucial to have a solid understanding of the PTE Academic exam itself. The PTE Academic is a computer-based English language test accepted by thousands of institutions worldwide, including universities, colleges, and government agencies. It assesses your English language proficiency across four key areas: Speaking, Writing, Reading, and Listening.

Exam Format and Structure

The PTE Academic exam is typically completed in a single three-hour session and comprises three main parts:

1. Speaking & Writing (54-67 minutes): This section integrates speaking and writing skills, requiring you to respond to various prompts, including personal introductions, read aloud passages, repeat sentences, describe images, re-tell lectures, answer short questions, summarize written texts, and write essays.
2. Reading (29-30 minutes): This section assesses your reading comprehension skills through multiple-choice questions, re-ordering paragraphs, fill-in-the-blanks exercises (both drag-and-drop and dropdown options), and reading and writing fill-in-the-blanks.
3. Listening (30-43 minutes): This section evaluates your listening comprehension skills using tasks such as summarizing spoken texts, multiple-choice questions, fill-in-the-blanks, highlighting the correct summary, selecting the missing word, highlighting incorrect words, and writing from dictation.

Scoring System

The PTE Academic uses a unique scoring system that integrates all four skills. You will receive an overall score ranging from 10 to 90, as well as individual scores for each of the four communicative skills (Speaking, Writing, Reading, and Listening). Your score report will also provide you with information about your enabling skills, such as grammar, oral fluency, pronunciation, vocabulary, and written discourse. This detailed feedback can help you identify your strengths and weaknesses and tailor your preparation accordingly.
