PTE Academic is a computer-based test 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:
Part 1: Speaking and Writing
Part 2: Reading
Part 3: Listening
Each part may contain a number of sections. Each section is individually timed.
Writing: A 60-minute test that requires you to complete two tasks:
Task 1: You are presented with a graph, table, chart, diagram, or letter and asked to describe, summarize or explain the information in your own words.
Task 2: You are given a point of view, argument, or problem, and you need to write an essay discussing the issue, providing arguments, and supporting your ideas with examples.
Test versions:
Academic: Designed for students who want to pursue higher education or professional registration in an English-speaking environment.
General Training: Intended for those who are going to English-speaking countries for secondary education, work experience, or training programs.
Registrations and Test Centers: Candidates can register for the IELTS test through official test centers, which are located in various cities around the world. Registration procedures, fees, and available test dates may vary depending on the test center and location.
Validity: IELTS scores are valid for two years from the date of the test.
Speaking: A face-to-face interview with an examiner that assesses your spoken English proficiency. The interview is divided into three parts:
Part 1: Introduction and interview (4-5 minutes)
Part 2: Long turn (3-4 minutes)
Part 3: Discussion (4-5 minutes)
Scoring: Each component of the IELTS test is scored on a band scale of 0 to 9, with 0 being for those who did not attempt the test and 9 being for expert users of the English language. There are no pass or fail scores; instead, the results are reported as band scores for each section as well as an overall band score, which is the average of the four individual scores.

This PTE Academic Offline Practice Test includes a combination of items covering each of the language skills – speaking, writing, reading and listening – as assessed in the actual test. Most of the content includes items from the online unscored practice test. The table below shows the contents of this Offline Practice Test:
The test items that feature in each part of the test are included in different documents with
accompanying prompts and sample responses files:
PTE Academic Offline Practice Test Part 1: Speaking
PTE Academic Offline Practice Test Part 1: Writing
PTE Academic Offline Practice Test Part 2: Reading
PTE Academic Offline Practice Test Part 3: Listening
Each item is presented as it appears on screen online, but as this is an offline test, it does not have the same functionality as the actual online test. This test will need to be printed, answers written and spoken responses recorded on mobile phones. Audio countdowns are not included for listening items and there is no recording status countdown for spoken responses. If doing this test under timed considerations, only approximations can be applied.
Each of the four documents includes an Answer Key and Transcripts of the recordings for the speaking and listening sections. The Answer Key provides the correct answers and/or sample responses to the practice items. These sample responses are authentic responses given by test takers who took PTE Academic, and illustrate the CEF levels of competence B1, B2 and C1.
Answers can be checked against the Answer Key and recorded spoken responses compared with the sample responses.
The audio prompt files required for some listening and speaking items are provided within the folder Prompts and the sample responses for speaking in the folder Sample responses. The files are labelled by item type, e.g., Describe image and by item number Describe image_Item 1 for you to easily find.
The offline test can be used for item practice, whole test practice or the items used as sources for development of additional preparation material.
