ABOUT THE TEST
PTE Academic assesses listening, reading, speaking and writing all via computer in a single 3 hour test session.
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 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.

Preparing for PTE Academic at GrowSkills ®
The PTE Academic Preparation Course Outline is a foundation document to help with the design of preparation courses for PTE Academic. It provides a list of the suggested focus areas for lessons around which a preparation course can be built. The course outline is based on the main communicative skills of listening, reading, speaking and writing and their subskills as listed in the Official Guide to PTE Academic. Each PTE Academic subskill is presented in order, with correlation to the PTE Academic item types where each subskill is tested. Because the course outline follows the organization of the Official Guide, subskills are listed where they occur in the Official Guide; for example, note-taking from a lecture is included as a writing skill although it is an integrated skill with listening.
Who is it for?
The course outline provides support by indicating the areas for each subskill where classroom activities and accompanying resources can be developed. For example, for the speaking subskill of ‘Developing complex ideas within a spoken discourse’, activities and materials can be added to focus lessons on the following areas: using notes to plan an oral presentation; prioritizing and ranking ideas; showing the connection between main ideas and supporting details; linking ideas with spoken discourse markers; using referencing in spoken discourse to link ideas.
