PTE Overview

PTE Academic is designed to test your English reading, writing, listening and speaking skills. The test takes approximately three hours to complete. This includes an un-timed introduction to the test and one optional scheduled break of up to 10 minutes.

There are three timed parts:

  • Speaking and writing
  • Reading
  • Listening

Each part may contain a number of sections. Each section is individually timed.
