Test overview
PTE Academic (Pearson Test of English Academic) is an international computer-based English language test. It accurately measures English language ability and can be used to apply to educational institutions, and professional and government organizations. The test uses task-based questions to represent the kinds of functions and situations students will find themselves in during academic study.
Most real-life tasks in an academic setting involve using more than one language skill together, for example listening to a lecture and writing notes. PTE Academic reflects this through its 20 task types, each of which tests a combination of skills. For example, one task type asks you to demonstrate your understanding of a passage by providing a written summary, while another tests your understanding of a lecture by asking you to re-tell the lecture.
The test is divided into three main parts and lasts for approximately three hours with an optional break of ten minutes:
Part 1: Speaking and writing (77–93 minutes)
Part 2: Reading (32–41 minutes)
Part 3: Listening (45–57 minutes)

Introduction to PTE Academic Practice Tests Plus
First, there is an Introduction to the book and the Practice Tests book. This book gives you information about the test items, about taking the test, and about how you can use this book to help you prepare.
The main section of the book is the practice tests. There are four complete tests, all written by people who actually write the test. Test 1 provides a full page of information and strategies for each of the 20 task types. There is a tip for each question in Test 1 to help you get used to the task and how to approach it. Some tips refer directly to the content of the questions and give general guidance. In Test 2, there is one tip for each task type with a useful reminder of how to do the task. Finally, in Tests 3 and 4, you’re on your own!
The work in this book includes the detailed answer key, audio scripts and sample answers from PTE Academic students along with explanations how you see how your answers might score.
Paper-based practice – computer-based test
You will do the actual test on a computer at a Pearson test centre and when you complete a test, the next one will appear on the screen. You will hear the audio through your headphones and speak into the microphone on your headset. You will be able to take notes on an Erasable Notebooklet, but you will type your answers into the computer.
The practice tests in this book are paper-based and are designed to be used in class or for self study. The instructions on the page are exactly the same as those you will get in the actual test. This means you won’t have any surprises when you get to the test centre! However, because the instructions are for a digital format, they don’t tell you exactly what to do on paper. This gives you some advice about the on-screen description.
Timings
In the test, some tasks are automatically timed by the length of the audio and some tasks have a timer. When you use Practice Tests Plus book, you can choose to open yourself or to take as long as you need. You could find yourself using your watch, mobile phone or computer.
If there is a time limit for a task, you will find this information in the timer icon next to the instructions. [Image of a clock icon showing ’20 min.’]
Listening tasks
For some tasks, you have to listen to an audio extract and complete the task. In the test, the audio will begin automatically after you have had time to read the instructions. Using practice tests, you will have to play the relevant audio track number yourself. You will find the relevant track number next to the task. [Image of a play button icon ‘ 1’]
Each task is on a separate track. This means you can work on tasks individually, or keep the audio running to try a complete set of tasks for a task type.
Giving answers
You will have to give one of three kinds of answers: spoken, written or computer-based interaction (chosen from those presented on screen).
Spoken answers
In the test, you will speak into the microphone on your headset. There will be a message on screen telling you when you will begin speaking, and then how long you have been speaking for. [Image of a recording interface showing ‘Recorded Answer’, ‘Current status: Speaking’, ‘Beginning in 8 seconds.’]
When using the practice tests, it is a good idea to record your answers so that you can listen back and think about how to improve. You could record your answers on your computer or mobile phone. Alternatively, you can talk to a partner and take turns to answer the tasks and listen to each other.
