PTE Academic & PTE UKVI - Language Counselors

The PTE Academic test format is divided into three main sections, focusing on the four core language skills: Speaking, Writing, Reading, and Listening. The test is entirely computer-based, and the tasks are designed to assess a candidate’s ability to use English in academic settings.

Here’s a detailed breakdown of the PTE test format

Speaking & Writing (54–67 minutes)

This section tests your ability to produce spoken and written English.

Speaking Tasks:

Personal Introduction (not scored): Candidates give a brief self-introduction.

Writing Tasks:

Essay (20 minutes): Write a 200-300 word essay on a given topic, often requiring an argumentative or descriptive approach.
