PTE Academic Exam Structure & Timing

PTE (Pearson Test of English) is a computer-integrated exam where skills are often tested together (e.g., Speaking & Writing combined). Understanding the clock is vital.

Section Breakdown:

1. Part 1: Speaking & Writing (54–67 Minutes): Real-time recording and integrated essay tasks.
2. Part 2: Reading (29–30 Minutes): Integrated tasks including Fill in the Blanks and Re-order Paragraphs.
3. Part 3: Listening (30–43 Minutes): Tasks from Summarize Spoken Text to Write from Dictation.
