PTE Class Overview
The Pearson Test of English Academic (PTE Academic) is an English language test designed to assess the readiness of non-native English speakers to participate in a university-level English language instruction program. Pearson created PTE Academic in response to demand from institutions, government and other organizations for a more accurate way of testing non – native English language students who enter the English-speaking academia world.
A good English proficiency score is one of the major contributors to opening doors for studying abroad in English-speaking countries. Several students have taken an English language test to acquire a competitive score accepted by universities, colleges or schools abroad. The PTE or Pearson Language Test is a computer-based assessment that determines your ability to listen, speak, read and write in English.

THE PTE TEST STRUCTURE
PTE Academic assesses listening, reading, speaking and writing all via computer in a single 3 hour test session. 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. Test scores are reported on the Global Scale of English, a standardized, numeric scale from 10 to 90 which can measure English language proficiency more precisely with reference to the widely known set of levels distinguished in the Common European Framework of Reference for Languages, or CEFR.
