Quick mock: four tasks in about 25 minutes
The short sequence this page started with: typed short answers, one Summarize Written Text, reading multiple choice and write from dictation, in Pearson's part order with a clock on each section. It has no speaking recording and is marked in raw counts, so use the full or sectional mocks above for a proper estimate.
What a good PTE mock test should do
A mock is only useful if it behaves like the test enough to expose your weak spots. These mocks keep Pearson's part order, its task types and counts, and the preparation and answer timers it publishes, so you practise the same pacing. They then mark what can be marked with Pearson's own per-question rules, estimate the rest, and tell you which task types to practise next. They do not replace a full-length test taken under exam conditions with Pearson's scoring.
How the PTE Academic test is structured
Pearson groups PTE Academic into three parts sat in one session. Since 7 August 2025 the test has 22 question types: the original 20 plus two speaking tasks, Summarize Group Discussion and Respond to a Situation. Pearson says no original task type was removed and the time limit of each question did not change.
| Part | Pearson duration | Task types | Mock |
|---|---|---|---|
| Part 1: Speaking & Writing | 76-84 min | 9 (plus an unscored introduction) | Speaking and Writing mock |
| Part 2: Reading | 23-30 min | 5 | Reading mock |
| Part 3: Listening | 31-39 min | 8 | Listening mock |
The task-by-task tables, with counts and timers, are on each mock page. The full-length mock has 65-85 scored questions across all three parts. For the test-day flow see PTE exam duration and flow.
Which mock should you take?
- Full-length mock once or twice before the test, to practise stamina and pacing across all three parts.
- Speaking and Writing mock when your target is Part 1 and you want the recorder, the timers and the new 2025 task types in order.
- Reading or Listening mock for a 25 to 40 minute check, with no microphone needed, between longer sessions.
- Quick mock when you only have about 25 minutes. It is the original short sequence and gives raw counts.
How each mock is put together
Every run starts from a random seed, shown on screen as a short mock code. The seed decides which questions you get and their order inside each task type; a reload gives you the same mock, and a new run draws different questions. Inside one run no question is used twice.
- Counts inside Pearson's ranges. Pearson gives a range of questions per task type (for example 6 to 7 Read Aloud). Each run draws a number inside the range, so two mocks can differ by a question or two, as two real test versions do.
- Pearson's order and task timers. Task types appear in the order Pearson lists them, with its preparation and answer times (for example 25 seconds to prepare and 40 seconds to speak in Describe Image).
- Part clocks for Reading and Listening. Pearson publishes only the part total (23-30 and 31-39 minutes), not a time per question. The mock sets one part clock inside that range in proportion to how many questions it drew. That rule is ours.
- Audio is text-to-speech.Recordings are read aloud by your browser's built-in voice, not by recorded human speakers, so they sound different from the test and vary by device. You can choose the accent. Each recording plays once.
- Original questions. Every item was written for this site. None is a real, past or predicted exam question.
What is scored, and what the report is not
Pearson lists the Personal Introduction as not scored, so the mock treats it as a timer only. Every other task type counts. Pearson's Score Guide says all question types are scored by AI and that some, including Describe Image, Re-tell Lecture, Summarize Group Discussion, Respond to a Situation, Summarize Written Text, Summarize Spoken Text and Write Essay, also get a human review of content. Our report cannot reproduce that.
- Marked with Pearson's per-question rules: fill in the blanks (1 per correct blank), Re-order Paragraphs (1 per correct adjacent pair), multiple choice with several answers (+1 per right choice, -1 per wrong one, never below 0), single-answer questions (1 or 0), Highlight Incorrect Words (+1 and -1), Write from Dictation (1 per correct word) and Answer Short Question (1 or 0).
- Estimated from a transcript or your own ticks: Read Aloud, Repeat Sentence, Describe Image, Re-tell Lecture, Summarize Group Discussion and Respond to a Situation. The transcript is optional. Pronunciation is never measured, and fluency is only a rough estimate of pace (plus long pauses with the on-device transcript, which supplies word timings).
- Estimated with simple text checks: Summarize Written Text, Summarize Spoken Text and Write Essay (length and form, key points, repeated phrases). Grammar and spelling are only partly checked.
The report shows percentages for each task type, each skill and the whole mock. They are practice estimates, not official scores. They are not converted to Pearson's 10-90 scale, because Pearson does not publish how item points are weighted into the four skill scores. Use them to find your weakest task types, then practise those. For how the real scores work, see the PTE exam pattern guide and the PTE score chart.
Save, resume and privacy
Your mock is saved in this browser's local storage as you go: the questions drawn, your answers, your speaking results and the clock. Close the page and press Resume mock next time to carry on where you stopped. The clock does not run while the page is closed. You can clear the saved mock or restart with new questions at any time.
- Nothing is uploaded and no account is needed. The saved mock does not follow you to another browser or device.
- Microphone audio stays in your browser. It is never sent to this site and never saved, not even locally, so a recording is gone when you leave the page.
- The on-device transcript runs a speech model inside your browser, so the audio is not uploaded (the model downloads once from third-party hosts). The browser transcript, in Chrome and Edge only, sends your voice to the browser's own speech service. Both are off unless you turn one on for a question. If you do, the transcript text is kept in your saved mock on this device.
- Finished task sets are added to your practice progress, also stored only in this browser.
Where to go next
Once the report names your weakest task types, practise them in depth: the speaking practice hub, the writing practice hub, reading practice and listening practice cover every task type with original questions. Then take another mock a few days later and compare your report in your progress.

Frequently asked questions
Is this PTE mock test really free?
Yes. The full mock, the three section mocks, the marking and the report are free and need no account. Your saved mock and results stay in your own browser.
Does a mock give me an official PTE score?
No. Only Pearson can score the real test. The mocks give practice estimates as percentages for each task type, each skill and overall. They are not converted to Pearson's 10-90 scale and are not a prediction. Use them to find your weakest task types.
How long does a PTE mock test take?
Pearson lists 76-84 minutes for Speaking & Writing, 23-30 for Reading and 31-39 for Listening. The Speaking and Writing mock takes about 80 minutes, the Reading mock 23-30 minutes and the Listening mock 31-39. The full mock is roughly 2 to 2.5 hours. Pearson says the real test is about 2 hours. The quick mock takes about 25 minutes.
Are the mock questions the same as the real PTE exam?
No. Every item was written for this site from scratch, to match the length, format and academic topics of each task type. None is copied from a real test, and none is a prediction of what will appear.
Which task types do the mocks include?
All of them: the unscored Personal Introduction and nine Speaking and Writing task types (including Summarize Group Discussion and Respond to a Situation, added in August 2025), five Reading task types and eight Listening task types. Each run draws a question count inside Pearson's range for every task type.
Can I use these mocks for PTE Core or PTE Academic UKVI?
Pearson's format pages cover PTE Academic and PTE Academic UKVI together, so the structure here applies to both. PTE Core is a separate test with its own format and is not what these mocks follow. Check Pearson's current format before relying on them for Core.
Do I need to sign up or install anything?
No. Open a mock page, press Start and work through it. Allow the microphone for speaking questions and use headphones for listening. Chrome or Edge give the best support for the optional speech transcript.
Is my progress saved?
Yes, in your browser only. A mock in progress is saved as you go so you can resume it, and finished task sets are added to your practice progress. Nothing is uploaded, microphone audio is never saved, and clearing site data removes everything.
Where can I find official scored PTE practice tests?
Pearson's own preparation area lists scored practice tests and an official guide. Use these free mocks to practise and find weak spots, and use Pearson's material for an official scored check.
