Why PTE?

The Pearson Test of English Academic (PTE) is a computer-based academic English language test aimed at non-native English speakers wanting to study abroad. It tests Reading, Writing, Listening and Speaking.
One advantage of this test is that you get your results very quickly; in about 5 days.
To complete a PTE Academic test, you will need to attend a secure Pearson test center. 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.
