To complete a PTE Academic test, you will need to attend a secure Pearson test center. You will use a computer and headset to listen to, read and respond to questions. During the three-hour test session there will be three main parts to the test: speaking and writing (together), listening and reading. There are twenty different question formats, ranging from multiple choice through to essay writing and interpreting information. PTE Academic assesses real-life, academic English, so you will hear excerpts from lectures and view graphs and charts. You will hear a range of accents in the test, from British and American to non-native speakers, so you will be exposed to the type of accents you will encounter in everyday life.
PTE course is one month in duration. Classes are held twice a week and each class is three hours of duration. Alternatively, students can attend two hour classes thrice a week. The course covers all aspects and sections of the exams. New batches commence fortnightly. Please feel free to contact your nearest centre for new batch details. Our library is equipped with all the latest tests available for the PTE. Apart from classroom coaching, our faculty is always available for doubt clearing sessions.

PTE-A Speaking Module
The Part 1 of the test (Speaking & Writing) tests your writing skills in PTE Academic.
The speaking module of PTE also assesses your speaking, listening, and writing skills; this means you need to pay utter attention in reading, listening, and writing.
Your speaking skills will be judged by getting you the questions that ask you to repeat the sentences spoken in an audio clip, respond to the questions asked, and summarize the passages on academic topics.
Speaking section begins with the Personal Introduction where you are expected to introduce yourself. The section two comes with a number of items for what you need to listen each of them very carefully to answer into the microphone.
Alert: You must be done with your response before the ‘progress bar’ reaches to the end. Take a note that if you don’t utter even a word for longer than three seconds, the recording will automatically stop and you will lose the point.
