PTE Academic Test Format :-
About the Test

– The PTE test is a computer-based test which is completed online at a Pearson test center. The whole test takes around three hours, including an optional ten minutes’ break after the reading section. The test is divided into the following sections.

Recommendation
If you want to pass the test for the first time, I strongly recommend doing at least one month of preparation. Practice is the key. The more you practice, the more confident will you be on your test day. so more practice .. more gain. Practice the official materials such as PTE Academic practice test plus, The official guide to PTE Academic and Macmillan test builder for PTE at least two times. , and Grow PTE Skills , PTE Academic Writing Books . This way you will have done 11 practice test which is enough to get you through in the exams.

On the Test Day
There are different time slots available when you are booking your test. Some people try to book their test at late afternoon like at 4 pm. I do not recommend this, as by 4 pm everyone is quite exhausted. I would personally go for 12 noon or early morning. If you are not an early morning person, go for 12 Noon. However, it depends on each individual. On the test day, have a good cup of coffee, take some chocolate with you or any sweet which you can eat during your 10 minutes’ break after the reading. If you take the ten minutes’ break, make sure you return to your desk on time, otherwise, you will lose few minutes in the listening test if you are late. During the test, you are provided with an erasable notebook and a marker. This is for you to take notes. There are many pages in the notebook, so you don’t have to erase what you have written, just simply move to the next page. Make sure you don’t leave your marker open for long if you are not writing, as it will dry out.

Result
The score reports are mostly available 24 hours after taking the test, but the official time per Pearson is five working days. If you don’t get your results after five working days, you must call Pearson customer service in your country. If you are short on marks in your first result, it is important to understand your results so that you work on those parts and pass your next exam. I will analyze my score report as a sample.

Let’s say if someone has low marks in both reading and writing, it means that the student did not perform well on items which contribute to your reading and writing scores, for example, summarize the written text. If a person has the low score in speaking, it means that they will have the low score in oral fluency as well. Therefore, the student should try to improve their fluency.
