What the PTE Academic involves

Two hours in three parts, taken in one sitting: Speaking and Writing (nine question types), Reading (five) and Listening (eight). Verified against Pearson's published test format in September 2026.

Who takes it
Students and migrants who need evidence of English proficiency for university admission or a visa application.
How it is scored
10-90 overall on the Global Scale of English, with separate communicative and enabling skill scores.

NewEducare scores its PTE practice tests on this same scale, using a conversion configured for this exam rather than a single formula shared across every test on the site.

Available PTE tests

21 full-length tests, each with 3 sections and 113 minutes of working time. Every question carries a worked explanation you can read after submitting.

PTE practice questions, answered

How many PTE Academic practice tests does NewEducare have?

There are 21 full-length PTE Academic practice tests, 1 of which is free. Each is a complete test with every section, not a sample of questions.

Are these real PTE Academic questions?

No. Every question is written for NewEducare to match the published format, difficulty and topic distribution of the PTE Academic. Real exam questions are copyrighted and cannot lawfully be republished.

Is the PTE Academic practice test timed like the real exam?

Yes. Each section runs to the official time limit, the timer continues if you leave the tab, and the test submits itself when time runs out — the same constraint you face on test day.

Can I retake a PTE Academic practice test?

Yes. A purchased test can be re-sat for as long as you have access to it, and each attempt is stored separately so you can compare them. The retake allowance for a specific test is shown on that test's page.

Do I get explanations for the PTE Academic questions I get wrong?

Yes. After you submit, every question can be reviewed with your answer, the correct answer and a worked explanation. Explanations are not sent to the browser before you submit.
