Introduction about Pearson Test of English
PTE Academic (Pearson Test of English Academic) is an international
computer-based English language test. It accurately measures English language
ability and can be used to apply to educational institutions, and professional and
government organizations. The test uses task-based questions to represent the
kinds of functions and situations students win find themselves in during
academic study.
Most real-life tasks in an academic setting involve using more than one language
skill together. for example listening to a lecture and writing notes. PTE Academic
reflects this through its 20 task types, each of which tests a combination of skills.
For example, one task type asks you to demonstrate your understanding of a
passage by providing a written summary, while another tests your understanding
of a lecture by asking you to re-tell the lecture.
The test is divided into three main parts and lasts for approximately three hours
with an optional break of ten minutes:
Part I : Speaking and writing (77-93 minutes)
Part 2: Reading (32- 41 minutes)
Part 3: Listening (45- 57 minutes
