Practice scoring: what the percentages mean
Multiple-choice, fill-in-the-blanks, reorder, highlight and dictation tasks are marked with the per-question rules in Pearson's published Score Guide. Speaking and writing results are rougher estimates built from a speech transcript or simple text checks, and they never measure pronunciation. Every result is a practice estimate, not an official score, because only the official test provider issues one. Finished sets are saved in your own browser so you can see your weakest tasks.

Read the full 2025 PTE format changes →Item practice vs. a full mock test
The pages above let you drill one question type at a time, with no time pressure beyond that task's own limit — the fastest way to learn the pattern of each item and fix specific mistakes. Once every question type feels familiar, switch to a full-length, timed mock test to practice the real exam's pacing, the roughly two-hour length, and keeping your concentration across all four skills in one sitting.

Frequently asked questions
How can I practice PTE for free, without downloading an app?
Every practice page on this site runs in your browser — open any question-type link above and start immediately. No app, no account and no payment; your progress is simply saved in your own browser's storage.
PTE ki practice kaise karein (how do I start practicing for PTE)?
Start with one question type at a time from the sections above rather than a full mock test. Read how the task is scored, try it a few times with instant feedback, then move to the next type. Once you're comfortable with each type individually, attempt a full-length mock test to practice timing and stamina.
Which is the best way to practice for PTE?
Practice each of the 22 question types on its own first, using the official task description and timing for that type, so you learn the pattern without the pressure of a 2-hour test. Only move to full-length, timed mock tests once you can complete each item type reliably within its time limit.
How many question types does the PTE Academic exam have now?
22 scored question types in total: the original 20, plus two speaking tasks Pearson added in 2025 — Summarize Group Discussion and Respond to a Situation. There is also one unscored Personal Introduction task used only to get familiar with the test software.
What are the new PTE question types in the 2025/26 format?
Two new speaking tasks: Summarize Group Discussion (listen to a 3-person discussion, then speak a summary) and Respond to a Situation (hear an everyday situation and respond appropriately). Both sit inside the Speaking & Writing part of the test. See our guide to the 2025 format changes for the full list of updates.
Can free practice tools give me my real PTE score?
No. Free tools, including the ones on this page, give an estimate based on the scoring rules Pearson has published — they cannot replicate Pearson's own AI and human marking. Treat any score shown here as a guide to your weak points, not a prediction of your exam result.
Should I practice individual question types or take a full mock test?
Both, but in order. Build accuracy on each question type first using the practice pages above, then take a full-length, timed mock test to rehearse the real exam's pacing and length. Jumping straight to mock tests before you know each task type well tends to waste the mock test's value.
